    “Okay,” answered Lina. When Anthony Sherman went to the parking lot, she stood on the side of the


    road. The night wind made her a little ufortable. She suddenly ran to the trash can nearby and


    threw up.


    She threw up for a long time before she was almost done. Dazed, she tried to reach into her bag for a


    tissue.


    However, she could not find it anywhere even after


    rummaging for a long time.


    Just then, a hand holding a handkerchief appeared in front of


    her.


    “Thank… you.” Lina said her thanks with a drunken slur. Without thinking much, she took the


    handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth. She only realized that it was a handkerchief and not


    a tissue when she was done wiping.


    “Why… Why don’t I give it back to you after I wash it…?” she asked as she looked up.


    She thought it was Anthony Sherman who handed her the handkerchief, but only then did she realize it


    was not!


    2/4 What she saw was a face that was once so familiar to her. She had seen it in her dreams from time


    to time over the past five years.


    It had been five years. Her memory of his face was from five years ago. She only saw what he looked


    like now after searching for his news today.


    Lina looked at the man in front of her who was in a suit and


    tie. He had his hair slicked back, revealing his full forehead. It


    made his beautiful face look more defined.


    The years had been kind to him that she hardly saw any traces of age in him.


    Her hups broke the silence. “Long… Long time no see…” She had meant to say it in a calm tone but


    was tongue-tied after drinking wine.


    “You drank too much,” he said as he narrowed his eyes.


    “I… I did drink a bit too much.” She tried to open her eyes wide as if trying to get a better look at the


    man.


    “Is that man just now… your boyfriend?” Hadwin Stephenson asked after a moment’s hesitation.

    “Boyfriend?” Lina suddenly chuckled. As she was drunk, her chuckle sounded a little silly. “I’m on a…


    blind date, but he’s


    pretty nice. Although… we just met for the first time today, we… hit it off.”


    3/4


    Lina stammered as she slowly got up, looking at him in a daze.


    She had tried so hard to get over him, so why was he showing up in front of her and destroying her


    peace?


    “You met this man for the first time today? Do you have any idea how dangerous it is to get drunk in


    front of a man you met for the first time?” Hadwin Stephenson said somewhat angrily.


    He was mad that she got drunk easily in front of another man. He was even madder that she… seemed


    to have affections for


    that man.


    Lina murmured, “Dangerous? No, he’s a good man, and I’ll be fine. Hadwin Stephenson, I… I’ve gotten


    over you, so don’t worry. Even if you’re in… Emerald City, I won’t bother you. I won’t… I won’t ruin your


    rtionship with your girlfriend.”


    Hadwin Stephenson’s face was cold. Each word she said stung him like a needle.


    He hade to Emerald City and drove near her office, hoping to get a glimpse of her from afar.


    He told himself that he would only take a glimpse. He only


    4/4


    wanted a glimpse.


    However, he followed her to the downtown za in his car and watched her enter a restaurant with a


    man. Then, he could not help appearing in front of her when he saw her throwing up due to her


    drunken state.
