“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 uncomfortable. 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 hiccups 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 relationship with your girlfriend.”
Hadwin Stephenson’s face was cold. Each word she said stung him like a needle.
He had come 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 plaza 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.
