7 Who are you? (1/2)

WHO ARE YOU?

”Please, I know you very well. You're supposed to be dead a long time ago. Do you know why you're still alive?” The man in the mirror told her straightforwardly. Evelina coughed loudly, she couldn't digest the coffee properly because of the sudden information that was still processing in her mind; she wasn't able to take pleasure in her favorite black coffee.

”What do you know? Tell me more about it,” Evelina said with interest to the topic. She then wiped her mouth with the table napkin.

The man in the mirror replied, ”Well..I can tell you,,, but first, take me to a place that no people could hear our conversation. I would recommend you to take me to your residence,”

”Alright then,” She uttered a reply. She instantly called the chauffeur to pick her up. Soon after, they headed to her residence. She hurriedly greeted the maids, the butlers and her family.

”Good afternoon, Mother, Father!!” Evelina greeted her parents with a big beam on her face.

”What made you so delighted, my dear Evelina?” Mrs. Stepanov curiously asked.

”There's a beautiful mirror I bought in town!” She replied in an exclaim.

”Oh really? Can we see the mirror you—?

She said as she interrupted, ”Mother, I have to go to my bedroom… I think my bladder couldn't take it anymore,” She didn't let her mother finish her sentence. She immediately fled to her room. She first took a bath and then, walked into her closet to change into her home clothes. She wore a Madreperla Georgette silk nightgown and robe. She sat on the edge of her bed and got the mirror from the bed side table.

”Hello? What was that you're supposed to tell me earlier?” She asked

”A pleasant day!! Oh, by the way, I can't reveal my real name but, you can just call me Alexi. Hmm…. Let me see, your name is Evelina Stepanov, you're 20 years old and you are participating in the Women's Free Skating competition in the Winter Olympics. You're too tall and you've become a burden to the team's performance. I suggest, you should not participate because there are other great opportunities rather than figure skating. There is someone waiting you out there and he is…. your future husband. Hehehe..” Alexi said in excitement.

She asked, ”Wait, aren't we supposed to talk about... my existence?”
