Remember the story that I wrote up couple of blogs ago? Apparently someone stole my idea... Kiddin... There is this taiwanese soapy TV series named 桃花小妹 or Momo Love (or something like that) which focuses on one ditsy/clumsy girl with 4 older and over protective brothers and her love for a certain young man. Different from my story is that my character is stronger and determined with her life. Also, both my character and the character in the TV series know a little martial arts...
The other story that I have in mind is this: (I dunno what name should I give it yet, but i'm settling with one for now...)
Will You Love Me?/Love the boss! 你会爱我吗?/商业大楼
Its based on one woman who is successful with her work and business but unsuccessful with her love life. She then sacrifices her love for the man she loves when he needs to take care of a certain someone... I have a couple of story lines planed out, the numbering shows the sequence of the story lines in the story...
1) A young good looking and confident young man walks into a pub and attracts attention of several females. He walks, with a well paced strut to a table hosting a group of young man and a table covered with alcoholic beverages. He showed his widest grin and greets his friends. They, had started without him for he was late, thus in their drunken state, dared the confident young man to kiss a woman.
After swallowing a shot, he said no problem... But the catch is, not any female. They pointed to a woman slumped over the bar with couple of glasses surrounding her broad frame. She was with a pregnant friend and was drinking at the bar before the handsome man came in. She in her drunken stupor shouted and cried to her friend, who was franticly trying to calm her down in order to avoid too much attention. When the young man came in, the pregnant friend went to the bathroom.
The young man, feeling very confident after couple of shots, went up to the drunk women to 'talk'. He pulled on his best 'charm' smile and patted her shoulder. The women looked up, showing a mascaraed and alcohol ruined face, there was nothing pretty with this women. He gave up and just looked into her eyes. What surprised him was that the eyes were filled with melancholy and pure sadness. He managed to talk with her and got her to kiss him. When his friends came over to congratulate him on winning the bet, he saw the pain in her eyes before walking away.
2) Very next day, the young man started work in a new building where he applied for assistant manager of a department of one of the biggest company in the country. As he arrived, he was greeted by various and interesting people. He was told that the manager would arrive in a few minutes and she would like everyone to be ready in the conference room. The secretary who guided him around the place and introducing him to everyone was very pretty. The young man was ready to pursue her with his charm and met a wall as she turned out to be a iced beauty.
Without warning, the conference room barged open and in came a women in tracksuit, tied up hair and sunglasses. She was carrying various packages and settled everything down with a pant. She then takes off her glasses and started rubbing her temples. Looking up, she took in everyone's presence, including the new guy. She immediately stood up and said, the jackass guy from yesterday who kissed be just for a dare. Then the young man realised, the ugly broad from yesterday was his boss... dun,dun...
3) Being young, successful and female proved to be very hard in such a large company. Being on friendly terms with the CEO and head of the company complicates matter. However, from the young man's eyes, he saw a determined, smart and beautiful woman doing a man's job, and on the less, doing a great job. The other green eyed managers of other departments of the company tries many times to disrupt the woman's career path but proved to be either too dumb or too full of themselves to realise this woman's potential.
4) The young secretary proves to be a hard catch for the young man but as time pass, the young secretary warms up to the young man. However, before anything serious started, the young man had started falling for his hard working boss. The secretary who was used to getting any guy she wants, failed miserably on getting the young man back as he confesses to her that he has fallen for his boss. She, unwilling to accept the truth thought if she disrupts her boss's work in the department, she could, per chance win the young man back. However, her action lead to serious consequences.
5) The boss manages patch things up and got the department back on their feet. Her mistake in handling the department was held firmly by other managers as leverage to weaken her status in the company. The secretary felt guilty for what she did and tries to make things strait with the head of the forces against her boss. With her beauty and looks, the other manager decided that the secretary was to accompany him one night with hints of other 'needs'. The secretary took on the request in hope to patch up her mistakes.
Learning about what the secretary was about to do. The boss decided the secretary has done enough damage and steps in to stop the deal between her secretary and the perverted manager. The manager threatened to expose the deal that the secretary did to disrupt the boss's department to the company head. Hearing what the secretary did, the boss lady felt betrayed and heartbroken. She trusted everything to the secretary and was ready to promote her as a permanent member in her department.
The boss lady did not want to lose such potential for the company to a pervert and made a promise to the perverted manager. She will quit. The manager was pleased but was still not satisfied. He poured wine over the kneeling figure of the boss lady and took a picture. The secretary was crying and the boss lady drove her home. The next day, the boss lady quit, leaving the young man as manager of department and the secretary as assistant manager.
*I'm inclined to leave things like this but I decided to add a little more 'romantic' element
6) Time passed as they did not hear more from the boss lady. The young man decided to visit the boss lady and arrived in front of a posh apartment. He knocked on the door and was invited in by a freshly showered ex-boss (of course wearing clothes, just wet hair and towel round neck). He talked to the boss and found out that his ex-boss was actually a major share holder of the company inherited through her deceased grandfather. She did not want to live a life pampered by money she did not work for. So she talked to the CEO and head of the company to let her work from bottom to the top. She, being smart and talented soon got to her position through hard work and modesty. Of course she was upset that she had to throw everything away for a woman's tantrum, but she was happy because she knows the department is in good hands. The young man kissed her and promised that he will not hurt her and loves her.
7) Over time, their relationship grew, the boss lady would visit the department from time to time to offer advises and look over things. The perverted manager was demoted after a video was sent to the company head showing various sexual advances he prays on his employees. The secretary was still upset and not handling things well. She became weaker and weaker and finally collapsed during work and was sent to the hospital by the young man. She then talked to the doctors at the hospital to convince the young man that she has a serious disease. She begged the young man to stay by her side to take care of her, as her dyeing wish. The young man obeyed, breaking things up with the boss lady.
Hurt and confused, the boss lady visits the secretary and found out that her disease was not fatal. The boss lady walked off and sets up a meeting with the young man. In that meeting she told him that through out her time in the company, she learnt not to trust anyone, not to say to love anyone. She opened her heart to let the young man in just to have the young man break it again. She could not handle it and she wants to officially break things off and she will be going to another country. The young man begs for the boss lady to wait, give him some time. She then told him that this is not the first time he had hurt her. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
I haven't thought of a good finale yet... Will do so when I thought of it.
