Zi Mei was talking to Sheena on the phone when the phone beeped to signify that another call is coming in. She looked at the caller ID and it was Darren. Should she answer the call?

"Sheena, Darren is calling me right now," she told Sheena.

"Oh, you better take it. He was looking for you frantically, he was worried that you are pissed about us dating, you are not pissed right? Right?" Sheena asked.

Beep. Beep. The incoming call notification sounded. Maybe she should just let the call cut off. She doesn't have to answer his call.

"Mei?" Sheena prompted.

"No, I'm not pissed, my phone fell and broke earlier so I had to get a new one," she told Sheena.

Beep. Beep. Beep. Why is he not hanging up?

"You better get that call, bye!" Sheena hang up. Her ringtone came on. Darren's name flashed on the screen.

She stared at it a few seconds and answered it. She has to act normal, as if nothing happened.

"Hello?" she answered cautiously.

"Mei! Where did you go? I thought you wanted to go back together? I waited for you for a long time, then I went over to your place and you weren't there," Darren said.

He sounded perfectly normal. Just like Darren. Worried and concerned for her. Did she imagined it after all?

"I…ah…er…dropped my phone and it broke so I…ah…went to the mall to get a new phone," she told him. It was the truth anyway.

"Cool. So now you have a new phone? The latest model? You must show it to me, I heard it has all these cool new features," Darren said.

"Ya, ah, sure, of course," she said haltingly. Please don't say you are coming to meet me, please don't come to meet me, please, she hoped inwardly.

"Well, see you tomorrow then," Darren said.

She almost gave a huge sigh of relief.

"Oh ah, I have something going on tomorrow, maybe see you in campus later tomorrow? You don't have to come to my place to go together," she lied.

"Sure, see you at campus then," Darren said and hang up.

She found a sitting area at the mall to sit and sank down on the bench. Her legs are all weak and rubbery again. Fortunately Darren didn't suspect a thing.

Now, her problem is, how is she going to react when she sees him in real life?

She didn't even feel like going home now. The thought of going home brought up the image of Darren sniffing around and then poking his finger in and the finger elongating like a rubbery snake.

She shuddered at the image. She scrolled through her phone and contemplated calling Jazzmine. Should she call her?

Maybe not. Jazzmine will think she's crazy. Even she is finding it hard to believe that she saw what she saw earlier. Maybe she was mistaken?

She is at a loss. She really doesn't know what to do now. She can't sit here at the mall indefinitely. She has to go home soon. She decided not to think too much for now. She might as well go to a cafe to hang out for a while and get dinner before heading home.

She found a cafe and went inside. It was quite empty and she liked it that way. She is used to sitting alone and she used to work in a cafe exactly like this. She remembered those days when she had to work extra shifts for overtime pay. How she'd skimp on meals and eat whatever the cafe owner provided as 'free' meals for the cafe staffs. All these are in the past now after she won that lottery.

She chose a far secluded corner of a couple stuff armchairs to sit down after ordering her drinks and some food. She slumped into the soft comfortable armchair and leaned back, closing her eyes. It has been a crazy day today. Images of the whole day flashed through her mind.

Almost falling down the stairs. Saved by a handsome CEO. Hugging the handsome CEO. The handsome CEO at her house. Hugging the handsome CEO yet again. Getting that internship that she didn't really want. Darren's long finger. She shuddered at the last image.

She focused her attention on the handsome CEO. He is so good looking, it is no wonder the girls in college were all crowding around waiting for him. She would have done the same if she knew. He had such a smooth complexion too.

She supposed most rich people has this kind of good and smooth complexion due to their proper diet since young. They have all the money in the world to eat good nutritious food. Then remembering the equally gorgeous woman, Jessica, who was with him, she took out her phone and searched for Thorin Loong and Jessica.

It turned out Jessica is his wife! She is mortified. She had hugged Thorin Loong in front of his wife! No wonder she had asked why she was hugging him. Any wife would be suspicious of some young girl hugging her husband. Zi Mei covered her face and groaned softly in embarrassment.

Why did she have to throw herself at Thorin Loong, not once, but twice?

She continued scrolling through whatever news she could find about Thorin Loong and Loong Group Holdings. She was so engrossed in scrolling , she didn't even notice the server bringing her drink and food until much later. She ate and drank as she scrolled. There was really nothing personal about him and his wife. Most of the things she found were business news. About his company.

"Who are you Thorin Loong?" she whispered under her breath, staring at a particularly breathtaking photo of him in one of the articles. Just looking at the photo had her pulse racing as if she was standing in front of him again.

She sighed. He is a married man. She must not covet a married man, she told herself. She stared at the photo a bit longer and then tapped on the x. Then she regretted it. She opened it again and tapped to save the photo to her phone.

Surely, there is no harm looking at his photo right?

She has finished her food. She paid her bill and decided that she has to be brave and go home now. Darren did say he will see her in campus tomorrow. So, he won't be waiting for her outside her house, right?

Right. It is Darren. She has nothing to fear from him anyway. If he had wanted to hurt her, he would have done so in all these years as her best friend.

'Yes, I am seeing things, must be all in my imagination,' she told herself. She called for an e-hailing ride. She didn't feel like taking the bus now that it is after 9pm. Better to get a ride back, not that it costs much for an e-hailing ride.

Once the driver dropped her in front of her house, she stared at her door. Her skin crawled at the image of Darren's long finger. The image is burned on her mind. She took a deep breath and went to her front door.

"Miss Tan, I think it's best you don't go in just yet," a quiet voice behind her suddenly said, startling her.

She screamed and whipped around.
