ENCHANTED LOVE - SEASON 7 EPISODE 42

Junia was so overcome with Anthony’s charm that she would be willing to do anything just to get this man.

After buying drinks for them, Junia came back to Anthony. He handed her the movie ticket and urged her to enter the cinema.

Junia gleefully looked for a convenient seat for both of them. Anthony was behind her. When she found the best spot, she turned to Anthony, only to find out that he had already seated at the last row.

She wrinkled her nose and complained, “Anthony, what are you doing there? Why don’t you sit beside me?” Junia got disappointed to see Anthony afar. Meanwhile, other movie goers urged her to give way.

Junia had no other choice but to wait for other movie goers to settle in their seats before she could go back to where Anthony was seated. When she approached him, she couldn’t hide the displeasure in her voice. “Why did you choose to sit here and leave me alone there?”

“This is my seat,” Anthony replied coolly. “There were no available seats next to each other, so I’ve only gotten two separate seats,” he explained.

When he noticed Junia’s seething indignation, Anthony dismissed her roughly, “Go back to your seat now. The film is about to start. You should enjoy it.”

Junia wasn’t aware that Anthony purposely ordered two separate tickets, so he could stay away from her during the movie. Although Anthony acceded to Laura’s demand to see a movie with Junia, he didn’t intend to pretend to like her.

Junia was really furious because of Anthony’s indifference. However, she didn’t have any choice but to contain her anger since they were in a public place.

Junia didn’t pay much attention to the movie all throughout. Besides, the only reason she was here was to get close to Anthony yet she failed. After the movie, Anthony went out first. Junia who was still boiling with anger, rushed towards him and shouted, “Anthony, stop!”

“Miss Sun, what’s up?” Anthony glanced at Junia with a sneer. “I think I have already fulfilled my duty to accompany you to a movie. Is there anything else?” he added.

“You…” Junia trailed with clenched fists. She then rebuked Anthony, “Can you justify your slighting treatment on me? Am I not good enough to win your heart?”

Anthony tried to pacify Junia. He tried to explain, “Miss Sun, you must understand that we don’t have any romantic connections.”

All the while, Junia thought that Anthony was also like her previous boyfriends who easily got attracted with her beauty and family background.

Junia was not satisfied, so she kept on forcing Anthony for a proper explanation.

“Anthony, is it because of my looks?” Junia asked Anthony.

Anthony shook his head gently and replied, “Miss Sun, you are a very beautiful woman.”

“Then, is it because of my family background? Do you not find it suitable to yours?”

“No. Miss Sun, you are from a family of scholars for generations. You are well bred and highly educated,” Anthony explained patiently.

“Then what is it? Did I happen to offend you?” Junia was still confused of Anthony’s attitude, so she tried to ask all possible factors that she could think. But Anthony answered all her questions with a “No”. She didn’t know what to think anymore, so she desperately asked, “What on earth make you so indifferent towards me?”

Junia continued, “Is it because the date was arranged by our parents? I am so willing to get to know you more. Just give me a chance. And if there were things that you disliked about my attitude, I would apologize to you.”

Junia became more anxious because of Anthony unresponsiveness. She frowned and continued talking, “I know that you also like me. Because if not, you wouldn’t be here with me right now. But I really don’t understand why you kept on distancing yourself from me.”

At last, Anthony replied with great composure, “Miss Sun, I think you got me wrong.”

Anthony paused and continued, “My mom told me that she would meet Aunt Jasmine, so she asked me to drive her here. I didn’t expect that I would be having a date with you.”

Anthony’s honesty and frankness embarrassed Junia so much. He made her feel that she was only insignificant and irrelevant to him.

With Anthony’s lack of willingness, Junia thought that this date would be meaningless.

“Not until you arrived did I realize that this date was set up to matchmake the two of us. That’s why from the very start, I have already shown my unwillingness to you.” Anthony tried to explain everything politely to Junia. “I sincerely apologize for my misconduct, Miss Sun.

But I must really tell you now, getting married would be very impossible for us. So if I were you, I wouldn’t waste my time and would go to find another man that would suit me.”

“Anthony, stop!” Junia couldn’t take Anthony’s words anymore. “This is just our first date. Why don’t you give ourselves a chance to know each other well? By then, we can tell if we’re compatible to get married,” she suggested.

“Miss Sun, you are too good to be my girlfriend.” Anthony was really tough. Junia felt an uncontrollable anger arising out of what Anthony had said.

Junia sneered and then shouted, “Since you didn’t like me, why did you still see the movie with me? You even disrespected me inside the cinema.”

Anthony’s misconduct was indeed a big humiliation to Junia.

“Well… I am so sorry for that,” Anthony admitted he was at fault. After all, he only acceded to this date, so Laura would give Sheryl a chance to talk to her. It was what he and Laura agreed earlier.
Anthony felt somewhat guilty for using Junia.

“Miss Sun, please accept my apology,” Anthony asked sincerely. He continued to explain, “I only went to see the movie with you because my mother and I had a compromise. But now that you have seen my indifference, I hope this will be the end. Is that okay?”

“You…” Junia seethed. She felt like she was bullied all along. But she still asked another question, “Is it because you are already taken?”

Junia hit the nail on the head. So, Anthony only confirmed, “Yes, I am already very much taken. I have been in a relationship with her for three years and now I already intend to marry her. Miss Sun, I strongly believe that you are a sensible person and would never allow yourself to be a man’s mistress.”

“So I suggest that we better end this as early as now. We should not have any communications at all,” Anthony continued.

Anthony sensed that Junia was already on the verge of tears, so he tried to console her, “Miss Sun, I am not your match. You deserve someone better than me. Please forgive me for causing you any inconvenience.”
