Author's note: Mr love queen's choice is simply an otome mobile dating game for chinese females, but it got translated to English. And it got an anime adaptation as well. Now it's for us English speakers to enjoy as well. I'm still playing it. It's amazing! For those of you that haven't played it, please check it out. Alright bye for now. 😊

"Yōurán this is the fourth time you've messed up the manuscript!"

I flinched and said nothing, knowing Victor was right. I bowed my head and his voice drowned away. I feel hot. Don't tell me I have a fever?! I must hold on right now. If I faint he'll scold me again.

When he finished I hurried out. Why? Why? What am I doing wrong?! I'm trying but it seems like everything's against me. Dad.... I wish you were alive. I can't do this alone!

I'm revising the manuscript again and I can't hold on any longer. I heard someone calling out in worry, but I knew nothing of what they said. All I remember before passing out is panicked faces and seeing Victor rush to me. That can't be. Must've imagined it....

I'm drifting through memories old and new. About dad and some boy. He looks familiar. He looks like Victor. Have we met each other before? I feel so tired. Maybe I should stay like this for a while. Away from Victor and the harsh reality of me being a disappointment.

I hear beeping and I slowly open my eyes. Oh I'm in the hospital. Ah that's right! I fainted. How did I get here? I look beside me and see Victor. He was asleep and his hand was on mine. "Idiot" I whisper. Why be so cruel? Tears fall down my cheek against my will and I'm engulfed in a hug. It takes me a second to register it's Victor. I try to push him away but he holds me even tighter. I eventually give up and hug him.

We're silent and he apologizes. I'm still angry and hurt at him for overworking and criticizing me. I acknowledge his apology, but don't forgive him. I slowly stand up as he help me steady myself. "Let's get you home" he said with that deep voice of his. I catch a whiff of his cologne and I blush embarrassed. He caught me on such a weak state.

I'm relaxed for the first time in a while. Music plays as he drives me home. Street and car lights in a blur. The road was smooth, so I was naturally comfortable. I sing along and I catch him smiling. Maybe he isn't such a cold boss after all. I smile in response.

We arrive and I waved goodbye to him and head in, but he interrupts and offers to cook for me. A chance to taste his cooking! I gestured him in, excited. I'm sitting and waiting while he cooks. It already smells so good. Minutes later the food arrives. I clasp my hands together and thank him. I eat like there's no tomorrow. When done, I ask him if he could stay longer. I find myself happy when he agrees.

He hugs me again and I'm still in disbelief that this is happening. It's nice. I look up at his handsome face and admire him.

Aside from his cold attitude, he's so hardworking, smart and much more!  He spoke up while I was in a daze. "If you'd like I can cook for you some more, when you need me to" I nodded in agreement and spoke myself. "Um, Victor?" He hummed. I continued. "Were we childhood friends by any chance?" He nodded. "So you remember!" He said laughing as I hit his chest annoyed.

He apologized again. "Seeing you again all those years ago, spurred so many emotions" "You had always been weak to anything and I had to save you multiple times with my evol power" "Time, right?" I asked. He nodded again. " I figured in order to make you strong I'd need to be tough on you, but I went to far and you've fainted" "That doesn't excuse what I did" I wave it off and said I forgive him.Which was true.

I feel better after hearing what he said. At least he didn't hate me. Victor came to mean a lot to me and hearing words of hatred from someone like that, directed at me, would break me.

I grudgingly let him leave because it was late into the night. I actually had fun! I got his number to contact him after work and he told me he'd help me with the manuscript just this once. I was grateful. Strict but kind is what that man is. He left and I closed the door while sighing.

What a day.
