139 At Jasper City 4 (2/2)

What was that, anyway? Does it really exist? What he could see right now was a conspiracy...

That was what he told himself as he took big strides towards the exit.

Until the woman from behind suddenly opened her mouth and calmly said,

”Let's have a talk somewhere, Mr. Chris Meyer...”

...

If someone acted mysteriously in a 'fateful' encounter and called out the other's name who this someone should not be acquainted with yet, the usual next scene should be them appearing inside a cafe or restaurant. The two would be seated at a secluded table. The former would be the relaxed one, ordering food from the waiter while inspecting the nervousness of the other. As for the latter, his head would be filled with all sorts of dark thoughts, most of which were centered around the idea 'Why does she know my name? And what does she need from me?' All of these would show in his face, which would inform the former that she was the one in control.

Due to the latter's unstable mind, the initiative would then, a matter-of-fact, be with the former. And in any type of discussion, the one holding the initiative would dictate the rhythm of the talk.

To be honest, Alessa Morgan had this in mind when she decided to appear in this section of the bookstore and spoke up his name when he began walking away.

She was expecting the man to turn around, shocked by the fact that she knew his name. Then while he was still in a dazed state, she'd politely invite him to a not-so-populated restaurant nearby. The talk would then be held there, and she would be the one leading it.

Such a perfect setting! In her opinion, it was already a confirmed conclusion!

Until it got messed up by the unexpected reaction of the uninformed party...

Now, who the hell could tell her why instead of turning around and facing her agape, the guy suddenly bolted away as if he was being chased by a demon with six heads, six arms, and six eyes?

Why was she the one left dumbfounded again?

Just what did go wrong?

Was this why people said, don't count your chickens before they hatch? That one must not be too hasty in rejoicing? Because just like karma is a b*tch, fate is too, and could probably be the worse between the two?

After some time... When Alessa's soul came back to her body, calmness also returned to her countenance. She did not move from her spot to chase after the fleeing boy. However, when she fished out her phone and called her male assistant slash bodyguard, even though there was a smile on her lips, her voice was a bit unnatural, making the one from the receiving end smiled wryly and thought, 'I see. The Second Miss is angry...'
