" I won't marry that man!" Elizabeth slammed the door opened as she entered the study room after hearing their conversation.

" Where's your manners, Elizabeth?! " Mr. Carter shouted angrily. " You don't know, where having a good talking here? Don't you know how to knock?!" Then he apologetically glance at the man who was sitting next to him.

"So...This is all your planned all along? " She sarcastically retorted towards her dad. " If I only knew, this gonna happened, I wouldn't went back all the way here for that shallow reason of yours!"

" Enough, Elizabeth! You unfilial daughter! " Mr. Carter hoarsely screamed back to Elizabeth. The man on his side holding him to calmed and trying to put down his guard.

" No dad! I had enough of you! You can't control whomever I want to marry to! I won't let you take control over me! " Elizabeth strode out in the study room furiously and went upstairs in her room. After she finished changing her clothes, she grab her phone on the side table of her bed, together with her sling bag and car key. Then, Elizabeth drove her car out in their house, as the traffic light went red, she was so outrageously slamming the steering wheel and letting her tears rolled down on her cheek. After a couple of minutes, a beep from the car next to her, sent her back to her senses.

" Where are you now?" She asked the person on the other line, coldly. Her eyes was focusing on the road.

" Your highness, I just got here in the airport. Would you like to come over and get me?" It's her manager Clark Laurence on the phone.

" Okay! I'll be there in thirty minutes!" She stumped the accelerator hard and drove her car fast to reached the destination immediately.

Not long after, a Bentley car arrived at the entrance door in the gate 4 were her manager patiently waiting for her arrival. Clark widely smiled as he saw the car appeared and approached towards him. He knocked at the back to opened the compartment and put his luggage there then hop in to the passenger seat.

" OH? What's wr with that long face? Aren't you happy that I'm here, sweetie?" He looked at her and smiled brightly as he speak softly. Yeah! He's bestfriend is a gay but he will only acted like this if no one is around. He's not ready to expose his identity yet because of his parents situation. If his parents knew about him being soft, they will surely all in shocked and they're health might be at risk. That's why Elizabeth and him were cautious about this matter. And Elizabeth accepted his flows and embraced him as her bestfriend and manager.

" Hmmp! I'm not in the mood, Clarkie. Where you will stay?" Elizabeth asked nonchalantly and turned on the car engine and drove away in the airport.

" In my villa at the Peak Hills, I already told you about this last time right? I just brought it last year." Clark said.

Elizabeth turned her gaze and rolled her eyes in disbelief. " Hey! You never mentioned it to me! That place were very pricey, Clark! You kinda be kidding me huh?"

" Hahah! What was that?" Clark giggled and said." Do I look like a joke on you? Hey! I'm telling you the truth! Hahah!" Elizabeth and Clark fought all the way to his place, she really can't believe it not unless she will saw it on her own eyes.

Elizabeth drove her car to the Peak Hills Villa, it's located at the southern area of Z city and each villa was cost more than a million dollars and each villa was built right on the top of the hill. The place was beautifully landscaped, which is good and nice in the eyes, it's pleasant for relaxing and meditating to leaving the bustling and polluted town. At night here, you can see the whole city below with those colorful lights blinking and twinkling like a stars at the sky.

As soon as they reached the entrance gate, Elizabeth stop her car at the guard house and told them Clark Laurence name and they opened the gate. Her eyes widen glaring at her bestfriend who was now smiling confidently. She drove her car again inside and amazed how luxurious the exterior designs in each villas.

" Stop right there! " Clark pointing at the black and brown metal wooden gate and she halt the car and turned off its engine. Both of them hopped-up outside as they got out into the car.

" Whoa! It's so nice, Clark! Congrats for your newly brought house! We should have a house warming party tonight! " Elizabeth excitedly pondering. She called him out again. " Let's buy something to cook at the grocery store! Hmm..What are we gonna eat? How about hot pot? With cold beers and soju and yacult?"

Clark stopped his tracks and turned around knitted his brows in confusion. " beer, soju and yacult? Will be that okay to mix it up?"

Elizabeth proudly replied. " Yup! It really taste good! Oh c'mon, Clark! Don't stare me like that or I will be falling in love with you!"

" Yuck! Sissy! We have different organ s*x but our taste and likes were alike! So stop talking nonsense, will you?! Eww!" Elizabeth laughed out loud on his reaction. They hop in again to her car and went out to the grocery store.

It's passed 2 am already and they still drinking while watching movie marathon.

" So tell me, what's the matter?" Clark asked her seeing that she planned to get drunken herself. He knew her so well, so if she was acting like this, she was in the state of frustration and depression again.

" C-clark...I-i t-thought...i-i've already move on to that jerk! B- but i-im s-still got hurt here inside!" She gloomily pointed her right chest where her heart is located.

" You're just drunk, Elizabeth. Let's stop it right here and rest." He grab the beer on her hand and guided her to the guest room for her to rest and sober her up.

After Elizabeth Carter laying comfortably in the bed, Clark groaned and sighed deeply after struggling laying her body on the bed. He stretched her limbs and blurted angrily. " What did you eat, young lady?! Ouch...hmmp! I will bring you to the gym tomorrow morning! you gained a lot of weight now! Ouch ouch! My precious body..hmmp! If only you're not my bestfriend, I will really throw you outside of my house!.." Clark walked out in the room, holding his aching back and looked at her again realizing how stupid she was. She talked a lot when she's drunk then do weird things around and even sobbing in front of him.

Clark sighing and shaking his head in resignation before he went to his room next door.
