252 Steffy 2 (2/2)
He wore a coffee-colored suit over a black striped T-shirt, paired with black pants and brown dress shoes. The guy looked imposing, probably due to his expression and height.
Yet what really struck Steffy's nerves was her sense of familiarity with this person.
It was a puzzle for her. She had already combed through every nook and cranny of her memory bank and confirmed that she didn't know him. However, for some reason, her heart kept telling her that she does.
The funny thing was that her senses kept telling her that she knew him, more than her own sister.
How could that be possible?
”Looks like you have something to tell to this girl. We'll go ahead first.”
The actress Sofia politely smiled.
”No. I'll also be going now. I just couldn't help but speak up. It's hard to ignore Lina's sharp mouth.”
Alessa Morgan didn't comment. She only nodded at Steffy then continued walking towards the elevator with the actor.
Sofia also went to catch up with them, but not without pulling up a card from her purse first and handing it to the dumbfounded girl.
”I'm okay being your text-mate. I'm Sofia again. The next time we meet, I'll give you a few signed copies of my albums!”
For some time, the girl stayed rooted on the ground, bewildered.
She only recovered when finally, Sofony emerged from her private elevator.
...
Within the elevator too, the clone's smiling expression immediately vanished and turned into a frown. She sharply glared at the man.
”You snub. You didn't even nod at the boss' sister!”
The three were the only ones inside. Sofia was standing a meter away from the two. Her face showed reproach.
Alessa looked at Chris, but as usual, the guy appeared like he did nothing wrong and that Sofia Mendoza was just air.
His reaction further angered Sofia, prompting her to accuse of the actor of so many things, like being a snub, knowing no shame, etc.
A minute later, the other actress couldn't stand it anymore.
Alessa said in an unhappy tone, ”Why are you treating him like he's the greatest sinner of humanity? Even I didn't know who that girl is.” She turned to Chris and asked, ”How about you? Do you know?”
The guy shook his head. ”I don't.”
”See?”
Sofia was dissatisfied. ”Liar.”
A couple of moments later, Chris spoke again, ”Oh. Maybe I actually do. A former schoolmate.”
After saying this, the young man frowned, finally remembering something.
'I seemed to have mistaken that girl before for Felicity.'
In his mind, a memory of him walking away from Wendy played. It then changed to when he turned around and checked something from the corridor at the left side of the junction, finding a dark-blonde female student whose walking posture appeared similar to that late childhood friend of his.
The elevator button for the fifth floor lit up. Shortly, the three of them walked out.
Next to him, from his peripheral vision, he saw Alessa engaged in a mild debate with the crazy clone.
While Alessa argued with the other woman about randomly greeting a stranger, he glanced at his wristwatch to hide his amused face.
He felt amused at his blindness back then.
It grumbled for some time before asking,
He half-heartedly replied, 'Maybe?'
The actor almost laughed out loud, 'Do you know that for a second, I really thought that she's Felicity?'
Chris actually watched that girl for some time before bypassing her.
But even if she gave him that familiar feeling, it didn't mean much, he realized.
While she remained standing there, he was walking side by side with Alessa.
He thought that this how Felicity was back then too.
Chris inwardly shook his head, 'System, even if Fel is revived and appeared before me, she'll only remain as a friend. Nothing more, nothing less. I've already learned to love myself.'
To this sarcastic remark of the system, Chris went silent for a while.
It was nice that no sting or pang of anything assaulted him when he heard the question, unlike when he was trying to distance himself from the hazel-eyed woman.
The system got annoyed by his lopsided smile.
When he replied, 'I think I'm almost there, at the level of me from three years ago,' it began to madly screamed, like it was dying from hearing the most cringeworthy thing ever.
