42 ENEMIES ARE COMING (1/2)

While Zunnie Bai and Alexander Zi were having a pleasant dinner at an Italian restaurant, someone was throwing a tantrum in a hotel room.

Carson Maule had a perplexed expression in his eyes as he observed his childhood friend from across the room. He had no idea that when she called him, he would be watching her throw a tantrum because Alex Zi did not make time to meet with her when she stopped by his office unannounced. He picked up his jacket, threw it over his shoulder then headed to the door.

”Carson wait! I'm sorry. I just returned and wanted to see you how about we go out for drinks?”

”Already have plans. It's good to see you Victoria.”

”Oh, I see. I have one more question. I heard Alex spent a lot of money at an auction to have dinner with someone. Are they dating?” She hurriedly asked.

Carson paused on his way out the door when he heard Victoria. He turned to face her shrugged and said, ”don't know.”

He shut the door behind him and stood in the hallway. Carson sighed and walked to the elevator. Tonight, he was meeting some of his high school friends and bringing Victoria would dampen their mood.

They had been friends since they were ten years old, and he knew Victoria inside out. He thought back to her last statement. He too wondered what was going on between Zunnie and Alex. At the Bai Entertainment gala, he had seen them speaking in the lobby. Just like everyone attending he was also amused at Alex's behavior during the auction.

He knew Zunnie Bai was not dating anyone. So, unless Alex did it to piss off Malon Nang, the only other reason would be that Alex was interested in Zunnie.

Carson smiled, got in his car and drove in the direction of the restaurant to meet up with his friends. When he arrived, everyone was there. He found a seat and they began their orders.

”So bro, did you find her?” One of the guys asked in the middle of dinner. They all knew who he had been looking for since he returned to Una City from the United States.

Even though she was not hard to find, she almost never appeared in the media and the only thing Carson knew about her was that she was a doctor. He thought of using his hacking skills to find out more but decided not to. Observing her like he did back in high school happened to be more fulfilling than using a computer.

The words she had spoken to him when he confessed to her that day had stayed with him up until now. It seemed so vivid in his memory; like if he reached out to it, he could touch it…
