Prologue

"Would you like another drink?" she asked the foreigner, raising an eyebrow.

He turned, annoyed. "No, now go away."

She nodded, heading the other direction and cursing in her mind. What was wrong with him?

At that moment, she bumped into another man making out with his girlfriend. "Sorry," she mumbled.

"Next time, watch where you're going," the man warned. "Or else."

Nodding, she head the other direction and went back into the nightclub's kitchen.

"Arisa," someone called after her.

She turned. "Ka, Mr. Choi?"

The old man sighed. "Would you be willing to do some babysitting?"

Arisa raised an eyebrow in confused. "Babysit who?"

"My son, Daniel. He just came back from Korea and doesn't know the streets very well."

"Like a tour guide?" she asked her boss.

"Right, like a tour guide."

Arisa hesitated. "Sure, but only at night na ka. I have work in the morning," she replied.

"Alright, I don't mind. Besides, my son's more of a night person I guess."

"When do you want me to start?" she asked him.

"Tonight," he told her, gesturing towards the VIP room. "He's in there."

Arisa nodded and peaked into the room. She let out a small gasp as she realized who the man was. Her best friend's boyfriend. Daniel Choi? How was I supposed to know it was you?

Daniel rose, then came out of the room. "Arisa-"

She took deep breaths like the doctor has instructed, but it didn't work. "Daniel-"

He raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing here?"

"Babysitting you?" she managed to repeat.

He eyed her carefully. "Why are you working? You're hiso-" He stopped, registering the possibilities. "Wait a minute."

She looked up at him pleadingly. "Please don't tell them."

He smirked. "Them who? You always despised me because my dad owned a nightclub. And now you're working in one?"

"Them as in my friends," Arisa replied. "Promise me you won't tell them?"

"I can't promise that, Arisa," Daniel replied, smirking. "It's just too much fun to resist."

"Daniel, please!" she begged, tears in her eyes.

He thought for a second. "If you follow me everywhere and become my PA maybe I won't tell."

Her eyes were wide. "You mean in the morning too?"

"It's your choice, Arisa. Take it or leave it." With that, he walked off, leaving her dumbfounded.​

Wah, so far so good. At first I really thought that Arisa was going to be working as a bartender or a waitress at the nightshift. Instead, she's going to be "babysitting" Daniel :p
 
Chapter One

"Wait, Daniel-"

He turned. "So you agree or not?"

She hesitated slightly. "Can I just do nightshifts?"

He rolled his eyes. "No."

"Please, Daniel!" she pleaded. "If I work for you in the morning-"

Daniel sighs. "Alright, but whatever I say you have to do, understand?"

"Everything?" she asked him questioningly.

"Yes," he replied, smirking. "Everything."

She nodded, then turned away.

"And don't forget: you start work tonight, Arisa. Where the hell are you going?"

She looked up at him. "To change out of my uniform?"

He rolled his eyes. "Hurry."

She nodded, running to the locker rooms.

About 10 minutes later, Arisa comes out of the locker rooms. "I'm ready."

"Good," he replied, frowning. Just at that moment, his phone rings. "Hello?"

"Daniel, where are you?" came a voice.

Daniels' eyes were wide. "Mom?"

"Yes, it's me. Who did you think it was?"

He sighed.

Arisa stifled a laugh.

Daniel shot her a shut-up-it's-not-funny glare. "What is it, Mom?"

"Lilly is here to see you."

"Lilly?" Daniel repeated, confused. "Who's Lilly?"

"Your new fiance, darling."

"FIANCE?" he stammered, eyes wide.

Arisa couldn't hold her laughter anymore.

"Shut up!" Daniel warned.

"You're telling me to shut up now?" Mrs. Choi asked.

"No, Mom. It's just-"

"Just what?" She sighs. "And where are you?"

"At Dad's."

"Your dad? Does he have a party at his house again?"

"No, Mom."

"Stop saying that, and come back to the estate too."

"But-"

"No buts, Daniel. Lilly's mom wants to talk about the engagement."

"Engagement? Mom, no!"

Arisa couldn't hold onto her laughter anymore. If she could, she would probably by lying on the floor laughing.

"Who is that laughing?" Mrs. Choi frowned. "Is that one of your dad's kiks?"

"No, Mom. It's Arisa."

"Arisa? Who the hell is Arisa?" She sighs. "Are you cheating on Lilly now?"

"I'm not."

"Then is your dad cheating on me? Daniel, I told you!"

"It's not that, Mom. Arisa's my girlfriend's friend."

"Lilly's friend?"

"No! I mean my real girlfriend, Tessa."

"The only girlfriend I will accept is Lilly. Now come home."

With that, the line went dead.

"Shit, now what am I going to tell Tessa?"

Arisa shrugged. "Don't know, don't care."

"You better know, Arisa. Or else they'll know about you know what."

"Daniel, you promised!"

"Didn't I say that you had to do everything I said?"

"Yes."

"Then do it. I'm giving you 10 minutes."​

Chapter Two

"I told you to keep quiet," she reminded him, sighing.

"Did you think of something yet?" he asked her for the 100th time.

"Something, but it won't work since Tessa isn't here," she replied.

Daniel looked at her questioningly. "What were you thinking?"

"Well, something along the lines of Tessa going to your mom."

He rolled his eyes. "Tessa isn't here, and Mom wants to see me in 10."

"That's all I came up with, sorry."

"I'm so doomed," Daniel cried, sighing. "Wait a minute..."

"What?" Arisa asked, looking up.

"How about you be Tessa for a day or two, before Tessa comes back?"

"No!" she protested. "I'm not going to fake play."

"Remember the deal," he hissed at her. "Go change."

She sighed. "Into what?"

"Your morning clothes, not your pajamas."

"Oh." With that, Arisa was gone.

She came back 5 minutes later, looking socialistic as ever. "Ready," she mumbled.

"Ok, a few ground rules," Daniel instructed. "One, be nice; two, be polite; three, don't make a fool out of me."

Arisa smirked. "What if-"

He glared into her eyes warningly. "You know what will happen."

About 30 minutes later, they arrived at the Choi Estate. Daniel dragged Arisa inside, smirking.

"Danny!" Lilly exclaimed, hugging Daniel.

Daniel pried Lilly's hand off of his waist. "Are you Lilly?"

The woman nodded. "Yes, I'm Lilly. Lilly Bhanubandh."

He shot Arisa a watchful glare. "Mom, this is Ari- I mean Tessa."

"Sawasdee ka, Mrs. Choi," Arisa greeted, forcing a smile.

Mrs. Choi ignored it completely. She turned to Daniel. "I told you you were to be engaged to Lilly! Who is this monster?"

Arisa took deep breaths before replying, "Your real daughter-in-law."

Mrs. Bhanubandh sighed. "Tessa dear, my daughter came first."

Arisa turned, shooting Mrs. Bhanubandh a scornful glare. "Shut it."

"Arisa-" Daniel warned. Shit, wrong name.

"What did you just call her?" Mrs. Choi asked. "I heard-"

"It's her middle name, I call her that when I'm mad -I mean m, m- missing her- krub."

Mrs. Choi wasn't satisfied with her son's answer. "Daniel-"

At that moment, Lilly's phone rings. "Hello?"

"Lilly, it's me Athit."

Her eyes were wide. "Athit?"

Finally. Arisa commented.

"Yes. Why do you sound so alarmed?"

"It's nothing."

"So when are you going to dinner with me?"

"Dinner?" Lilly repeated, confused. "Athit, I-"

"No buts, you promised!"

Lilly sighed, looking from her mother to Mrs. Choi. "I-"

Mrs. Bhanubandh frowned. "Lilly, who was that?"

"My...friend, Athit," she replied.

Daniel turned to Arisa, whispering, "Isn't Athit your brother?"

Arisa nodded. "I called him when I was in the changing room."

He smirked. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I forgot," Arisa admitted. "Until he called her."

Daniel turned to face his mom. "Mom, I'm going ok?" He smirked. "And stop saying that I cheated."

He dragged Arisa out of the estate.

"Daniel, wait!" Mrs. Choi called after her son.​
