Chapter Three

Sunset Town

"It's my business to pursue you and it's your business to reject me. Don't worry. I definitely won't worse you. I'm not that much of a bastãrd. Besides, you never know what will happen in the future. How can you be so sure that you won't like me?"

"Hailey, I'll definitely make you fall for me!"

Hailey frowned when she heard this. She felt like Jonas was trying to pressure her.

"I may not have anyone that I Like now but just as you said nobody knows what's going to happen in the future right? I might get someone that I like very soon and I might get into a relationship. I don't want you to waste your time on me. Actually, the both of us, we are not a possibility at all!" Hailey said. She really hated the feeling of being forced to compromise.

"Since you already said that no one knows what will happen in the future, let's leave it at that. What if the person that you actually end up liking is me? I've never been a pushy person Hailey but I really do like her. Since you don't like me right now I'll have to pursue you and let you see the love that I have for you. As long as you are not in a relationship, you are still single. I'll give it my all." Jonas said. He wasn't daunted at all.

Hailey was already tired of the conversation. She just wanted to leave

Jonas saw that Hailey didn't want to talk to him anymore and so he decided to take a step back

"Alright. Let's do this Hailey. As long you you are not in a a relationship when you get back from your leave, then give me a chance. In sure that I won't let you down at all!" Jonas suggested.

"I really don't think that this is a good idea. I..." Hailey still did not get to finish.

"Let's give it a try! As long as you find someone before then, I won't ever bother you again. If you don't, let's date as a trial. I'm sure that you'll find out that I'm good for you!" Jonas said. He really liked Hailey. He didn't want his love to end like this.

Jonas immediately got into his car and drove off because he was scared that Hailey will find a way to turn him down. He was sure that a workaholic like Hailey won't be able to find a boyfriend before then.

Hailey sighed as she rubbed her forehead. Just then, her phone rang. It was her mother, Sydney Johnson calling her

"Hello? Hailey? Are you still at work?" Sydney asked.

" I just got off work now mom. I'm on my way home" Sydney replied.

Hailey said this as she got into her car.

"Are you still going to return tommorow? Your father has already boasted to all your uncles and aunts that his super successful daughter is coming back home to spend her vacation here with us.You aren't going to stand us up right?" Sydney questioned.

"Mom, since I already said that I'll go then I'll go. Don't worry about it. Since when am I a person who goes back on her words?" Hailey was already upset because of her mother and she wasn't in the mood to repeat words.

"Of course you are a person who is constantly going back on her words! Have you forgotten how you stood us up the last two years?" Sydney asked.

Hailey thought about it. It seems that she has indeed stood her parents up a few times in the past

"Alright mom. Those things are already in the past. I'll definitely be there tommorow"

Hailey ended the call quickly because she was scared that her mother will nag her some more. When she thought of her difficult uncles and aunts, Hailey had an instant headache.

She really did not like having to deal with those snobbish relatives. But she will have to put up with it for the sake of her parents.

......

12:50am. Superstar singer and actor Boris Stern had just finished his concert. He was in his dressing room. He had just changed out of the clothes that he used on stage.

His manager, Mike Hathaway walked in.

"Hey Mike. I already finished all the schedules that you had for me today. Are you really going to let me take a break for the rest of the year?" Boris asked his manager.

Mike laughed when he saw how enthusiastic Boris was.

"of course. Since I promised you that I'll let you take a break, I'll let you take one!" Mike said.

"That's what you said the last two years! I haven't had a Christmas break in two years!" Boris complained.

Mike patted Boris shoulders

" Don't worry. I'll definitely let you get a good rest this time . In fact, you'll be going on vacation. I already chose the place" Mike said reassuringly.

Boris was excited when he heard of a vacation

"Wow! I never knew that you are so nice Mike! You are really giving me a vacation? Where did you pick? Hawaii? Japan? The Maldives?" Boris asked excitedly.

Mike smiled and shook his head

"No. The place that I picked is even better" Mike said.

"Where could be better than that? Don't tell me that we are going to the North pole?!" Boris asked he was used to his manager pulling crazy stunts.

Boris was really scared that Mike will pull off something crazy like that. In his opinion, Mike has always been a sadist who derived joy from other people's suffering

Of course not! We will be going back to Sunset town!" Mike said.

"What?!"

"You heard me. We will be going back to Sunset town for the Christmas holidays. Think about it. Won't it be nice? The air in sunset town has always been nice. It's the perfect place to take a break from the hustle and bustle of society. You can get the rest that you so wanted" Mike said.

Mike was excited about going back to Sunset town even though he did not show it. There is someone....that he badly wants to meet again
