Chapter 322 - Invitation Part 2 (1/2)
Allona stared at herself in the mirror and then to the full-face photo of Andromeda pinned on the mirror. She stared at her nose which is perfectly shaped like Andromeda's. It's only a little work since her nose said to be okay and easy to shape like Andromeda's.
The woman in the photo has a unique beauty. The surgeon even asked about the name. She frowned at the surgeon and told him to just do it. Well, there are only a few things she needed to do a few things. Like shaping her body like Andromeda.

She parked her motorbike and gave the plastic of bubble tea. He thanked her and he spread his arms and she jumped into him, wrapping her arms around his nape and her legs around his waist. She kissed him hungrily and then grind on him like she wanted to make love to him there.
”Who's the chick?” they stop kissing and Steven and Freya looked at the man.
Freya's face darkens and Steven smiled at him.
”Hey, Wren.” Steven greeted him. ”This is my girlfriend Freya.” Steven kissed her cheek. Freya unwrapped herself from him and glared at Wren. Wren scratched his head and laughed.
”Since when did you got a girlfriend? Is this getting serious?” He asked.
”Babe, this is Wren. He's my high school best friend and he migrated to the USA before our graduation.”
Wren strode to her and extend his hand to Freya. Freya glared at it.
”Wren this is Freya.”
”Hi, Freya.” He grinned at her. She reached his hand for a handshake, but she squeezed it hard that make him groaned.
”Babe?” Steven put an arm around her shoulder. Wren smiled at Steven and Freya released his hand.
Freya walked past him, and Steven followed. Wren mouthed a big 'Ow' silently and shook his hand. He watched Steven kissed and pull Freya possessively to him. Steven called him out. He followed them.
Freya sat down on the barstool and took the Ouija Matcha that she bought from the bubble tea. She took the straw and removed the cover and she stuck it on the hole. She sipped on it and Steven hugged her more.
”Why is your friend here?” She asked.
”Why? Don't you like him?” He asked. She reached the knife from the counter and throw it to Wren who had caught it with great flexibility before it strikes directly to his face.
”Freya!” He exclaimed.
Steven unwrapped himself from her.
”You know him.” He said with a sudden serious voice. Freya glared at Wren. ”Wren.” He faced Wren for him to explain.
”What are you doing here, Wren?” Freya asked as she sipped on her milk tea.
”Well…” he put down the knife. ”I'm sorry Steven that I am not here to visit you,” Wren said. ”Freya is needed back to Manhattan. I came to pick her up.”
Steven turned back to Freya.
”Babe? You—you aren't leaving right?”
”Wren. Leave. Tell them that I'll meet them soon.” She demanded.
Wren seemed to hesitate to leave and then he pulled out the invitation card. The same that she saw from her brother's. She took it. It has the name of her company in Manhattan.
”They didn't know yet about your identity. We received it a week ago and they are alarmed.”
”Don't be alarmed. Leave now.” She said. ”Don't show your face until I told you so.”
He bowed his head and he left. Steven felt like Freya is a stranger. He scoffed and faced her. She didn't even tell him about those things. What she is? What is she doing? Why is Manhattan so much important?
”Don't leave,” Steven said almost like he's pleading. She didn't say anything at all as she think deep. ”Freya.” He scooped her face. ”I know that it's important to you… but talk to me. I don't want you to keep secrets anymore.”
”Steven.” She stared into his eyes. ”I don't want you to intervene in my business.”
Steven seemed to be offended and he is silent. He doesn't know her at all, but he loved her more than he loved his life.
”I'll wait for you to open up.” He said and he walked off.
