    "W-What are you doing here?"


    Ricky was ring at her.


    "Did you know that Lulu left?"


    "I was just looking for you—"


    "Did you know?!"


    Ricky was nning to have dinner with Lulu and went to her house to look for her, only to find that she


    was gone, along with all her belongings.


    She did not leave any message either, and Ricky remembered that she had been behaving strangely


    because she regained her memory.


    In that case, she most definitely would go to Irene!


    "Calm down first," Irene told him.


    "Calm down? How?! I''m losing my mind looking for her!"


    Ricky had looked everywhere he could, and only came to Irene after he ran out of ces to look.


    "Why can''t you? Lulu''s not going to fall for you when you''re bristling like a kid.Come to me again when


    you calmed down enough and can talk normally!"


    With that, Irene started to stride off, and Ricky panickily caught her sleeve.


    "Irene..."


    Irene held his gaze.


    "I''m serious.If you can''t calm down and listen, I won''t tell you a thing."


    Ricky took a moment to calm down.


    "Just...Don''t go.Let me have the same time."


    "This isn''t the ce to talk.Let''s get to a restaurant—we can talk over dinner."


    Irene was a little hungry, and she had abdominal pain just a couple days ago, so she was worried it


    would hit again if she did not eat punctually.


    On the other hand, Ricky had no appetite, but he had no choice seeing that Irene clearly knew about


    Lulu.


    "Fine."


    There were many restaurants nearby, so they picked a random one, which offered a menu of local


    cuisine that fit Irene''s tastes.She ordered some of the in dishes, and while they waited, Ricky


    calmed down a little.


    "Irene, could you tell me now...?"


    "After we''re finished eating," Irene said, and put food on his te.


    Ricky was speechless.


    "I''m really not in the mood to eat.Don''t you get it?"


    "Eat with me," Irene told him.


    "I could have gone home and eaten with my whole family, but I''m not home because of you.Shouldn''t


    you keep mepany instead?"


    Ricky was left speechless again, but he feebly picked up his fork and spoon.


    No matter how delicious the dishes were, it was nd in his mouth like he was forced to eat paper! He


    ate intermittently, while keeping a close eye on Irene, hoping she would have her fill soon.


    Even so, Irene was taking her time, and restrained his impatience as he said, "Irene...My dear Irene,


    don''t leave me hanging.Just tell me already, or it''s going to kill me."


    Still, Irene waited until she finished her soup, and put her soup spoon aside before looking up at him.


    "Tell me, do you really like Lulu?"


    "I love her."


    "She''s older than you—"


    "What year is it? How is age a problem? She''s just a few years older too!"


    Realizing something then, he pressed, "Is she leaving me because of our age gap?"


    "No."


    Irene gave him a serious look.


    "You''re still young, Ricky, and I think you should focus on your career—"


    "What the hell did she tell you?"


    Ricky narrowed his eyes.


    "Wait, did she choose Zachary?"


    "No," Irene replied.


    Ricky breathed a sigh in relief.


    "In that case, anything''s eptable.


    "Really?"


    Irene was just having trouble speaking up.


    "Anyway, Lulu left.To where, I have no idea."


    Ricky sprang to his feet right then! "Are you kidding me?! She''s your best friend! What won''t she tell


    you? Or you''re still intending to fix her up with Zachary?!"


    Irene tried to grab his wrist and calm him down, only for him to shake her off violently.


    She tripped over the table and started to fall backward! Just as she was about to fall, shended in a


    pair of warm arms.She turned, then glowered when she saw who it was!
