Chapter 10 - Omega takes over (2/2)

Her mood quickly turned sour when final results form the event were published:

#1: Omega, $12200

#2: Sigma, $11800

#3: ...

'Are you kidding me?!!', Sarah fumed. 'He took my first spot at the last minute! Ahhhh!' She screamed internally.

It took her few minutes for emotions to calm down a bit before she froze... Her eyes were glued to still open window showing chat session with Omega and his message ”Don't be upset, you did well”. She blanked out for few minutes, when her mind exploded with realization, 'Wow! This means he knows who I am! He knows I'm Sigma! What the …?'

Sarah's face was contorted, she never felt this sour. 'Is he trying to console me, or rub it in my face? What are his intentions?'.

Sarah took few deep breaths, 'Calm down, breathe. His skills are undeniable. He found out that I'm Sigma and showed me that he knows who I am. Why would he do that? Is he someone who enjoys toying with others? If yes, why me?'. Shivers went through Sarah's body when to all that she added her recent discovery that Omega is someone from the same campus where she is! She felt like someone is watching her.

Sarah went to the window and looked outside in the dark before pulling the blinds down and closing the curtains. Her room was on the third floor, but she still felt uneasy and double checked that window is locked. Her mind was creating all kinds of wild scenarios where Omega was some pervy-sicko-villain and she is in grave danger.

Flow of her imagination was interrupted with an email from SysTech company:

”Dear Sigma,

Thank you for participating in our event and contributing to quality of our PC Manager.

Issues you reported:

…

The amount will be deposited to your account within next 3 hours.

Thank you for your time and efforts. We hope to be able to work together in the future.

With respect…”

Sarah knows that this is a standard generic email sent to all contributors. There is nothing special about it.

Sarah was in a sour mood. She turned off her PC and went to bed after a relaxing shower. She was planning what Christmas gifts to buy for her family. When she thought of an acceptable idea, she took a note on her phone so that she does not forget.

Holding her phone after she noted few gift ideas, Sarah opened chat app looking at conversation with Aiden.

'This definitely looks like flirting!' Sarah was half pleased, and half upset.

Reading through the content of their chat, it seems they didn't talk about the project. Sarah was getting suspicious if he even wants her to work on the project at all. She remembered that Vivian said how Aiden is one of top students, that means that he should be able to work on it by himself.

She decided to send him a text and clarify:

[Sarah]: ”Are we still on for the project?”

She kept her phone next to her pillow and closed her eyes in attempt to sleep. Her thoughts started to wander again towards Omega and crazy scenarios were building inside her head again.

Sarah had difficulty sleeping that night.
