William: [ and them? Who are you referring to?]
Mary: [Your ’wife’ and ’daughter’!] Suddenly, it clicked. She was referring to Kristina and Lily.
I stroked my chin thoughtfully, sensing a deeper aning to her words. She knew of Kristina and Lily’s relation to , so why would she ask such an obvious question? The only logical conclusion was that she had sohow discovered the truth about my relationship with Kristina and Lily.
William: [What do you an?]
I feigned ignorance, curious to see where this was going.
Mary: [I already know what your relationship with them is. (Sly smile emoji)]
William: [Oh, really? Tell about it then.]
Mary: [That woman is your landlord, isn’t she? You’re not her husband, and the child isn’t yours!]
I responded with a surprised emoji.
William: [How did you know?]
After a few minutes, she replied, not with a text, but with a voice ssage. I quickly slipped on my Bluetooth headset.
"William, I’m sorry for prying into your business. I apologize." I was taken aback. She had indeed been digging into my life. Had she not apologized, I would have been quite unsettled. Who, after all, enjoyed being investigated?
After a mont’s thought, I replied.
William: [It’s okay, it wasn’t real anyway. But I’m curious, what made you think to look into this?]
Mary: [Actually, I didn’t think that way at first. But you don’t look like the little girl, and Jack ntioned she didn’t have a father, so I got curious and...]
William: [I understand. Although she’s not my biological daughter, she’s my goddaughter. She’s been fatherless since childhood, quite the opposite of your nephew.]
Mary: [Oh, I see. That explains why you were at the camp. So, you’re single?]
William: [Yeah, currently, I am!]
Mary: [I’m single too.]
Her ssage left montarily stunned. What was she implying?
Was she suggesting she was interested in ? That seed a bit far-fetched. We’d only known each other for a day. Sure, I’d saved her, and perhaps she wanted to repay , but in this day and age, who would actually do that?
I decided to test the waters.
William: [Heh, why don’t we give it a try?] I expected her to refuse, but instead, she sent a blushing emoji.
Mary: [Sure, let’s try. It’s perfect, my parents have been pushing to go on blind dates, now I finally have an excuse to refuse those tedious dates.]
My heart rate quickened. What did this an? Was she joking, or was she using as a shield to avoid blind dates?
William: [Sure, you’re actually using your lifesaver as a shield.]
I joked, partly to gauge her real intentions and partly to deflect any potential embarrassnt.
Mary: [Not at all!]
Mary: [Actually, I can tell you’re a very responsible and caring man, with good character, a perfect match for my standards.]
She added a blushing emoji for effect.
Mary: [And you’re quite handso, with a strong masculine vibe, just the type I like. (Shy emoji)]
I was taken aback, unsure of how to respond, when she suddenly retracted her ssage and sent a new one instead.
Mary: [Ah, what did I just send... I didn’t scare you, did I? Just pretend you didn’t see anything. I didn’t send anything just now..]
Was she trying to deceive herself? I had seen her ssage, how could I pretend otherwise? This woman was certainly unpredictable.
I smirked mischievously. William: [Hmph. I’ve already seen it, no use retracting now, I’m taking it seriously, you better be prepared to be the king’s woman.]
Of course, my words were mostly in jest. Kristina held a significant place in my heart, and she was not soone to be taken lightly. Her brother was a billionaire, and I was just an ordinary guy. I understood the principle of matching social statuses; it was normal for her to be naive, but shouldn’t I know better? Mary: [Ah, your dominance is overwhelming! I haven’t agreed yet! (Hmph emoji)]
William: [Given that I am the king, dominance is to be expected. (Evil emoji)]
Mary: [Well then, since you’ve already seen my vulnerability, I suppose resistance is futile. But rember, as the king, it’s your duty to treasure .]
Her enthusiasm for this role-play was escalating rapidly.
We continued our playful banter, but I noticed her becoming increasingly engrossed in the act. If she started taking this seriously, I would be in a predicant.
I hastily excused myself, citing work commitnts, and promised to resu our chat later.
Mary: [Alright then, you toil away for our livelihood, and I’ll eagerly await your return ho. Here’s a special photograph of , I hope you’ll keep it safe on your phone!]
She then proceeded to send several pictures, each cuter and more heart-fluttering than the last.
Her porcelain skin, those vibrant eyes, and the faint dimples that appeared when she smiled, she was the embodint of my dreamy first love.
Her purity ignited a fire within . The last photograph, in particular, had a hint of sensuality. I suspected it was a deliberate attempt to lure .
I saved the pictures on my phone and began organizing my work projects. Soon, it was ti to leave the office, and everyone made their way to the company cafeteria.
When I glanced around, the office was deserted.
I checked the ti - it was eleven forty-five.
My stomach growled in hunger.
Just then, a ssage from Mia popped up.
Mia: [I’m here, have you arrived?]
William: [I haven’t had dinner yet!]
Mia: [Don’t worry, I’ve brought food for you!]
Her thoughtfulness surprised .
I pondered over her ssage, then rose from my chair and ascended the stairs to the rooftop.
The rooftop was seldom visited, especially during the scorching sumr months. Wouldn’t it be more comfortable to stay in the cool confines of an air-conditioned room?
However, for safety reasons, I scanned the area to ensure no one was lurking
around before stepping out.
"Over here, I’m over here."
