Chapter 53: Chapter 53: A DATE FROM A STRANGER
[I have what you want. How about a date?]
The more she read the ssage, the more conflicted she beca.
Who was this person playing pranks on her, and what was his motive?
She couldn’t help but ponder as she looked up to the roof helplessly.
That was a ssage she received when she was in bed, before she took her dication and after the LIVE had ended for the day.
With such an unproductive day, where Quinn and the others relentlessly searched for the ring and still didn’t find anything, she wasn’t in a good mood at all. So, she decided to sleep early since she didn’t have any energy to entertain anyone.
But who would have known that she would get such a strange ssage?
Unfortunately, she didn’t have much ti to ponder about it before Ava fed her dicine and she dozed off peacefully, like always.
After waking up early, she looked at the ssage again and began to ponder what she should do about it.
As she thought conflictedly like that, a ping sounded again on her phone, notifying her of a new ssage. She swiped her screen and her expression beca gloomy upon seeing the content of the ssage.
[If you want it, it’s yours. But it cos with a price. Are you willing to et ?]
The anonymous sender once again sent her a new ssage, but this ti it ca with a real picture of what the other had been promising her.
When she saw the picture, Zara clenched her fists with an unknown emotion weakly. It was already a hassle to form a fist, and as for exerting force, haha, that would be a joke of the century. However, the fact still remained that she clenched her fists as her mind began to work overti in a short period.
She unclenched her fists and, with determination, she started responding, sothing that she wouldn’t have done if she hadn’t seen that picture.
[ZARA: What do you really want from ?] she typed and waited anxiously for the reply.
[I just want to get to know you. You give
a date and I will give you what you want,] fortunately the other didn’t disappoint her but replied to her though his demands were still a bit too much for her.
[ZARA: Is it really a must for
to have a date with you?]
Zara pondered as she sent that ssage. She had never been on a date with soone other than the people closest to her. So, she was quite skeptical about what this person truly wanted from her.
[Um. As I said, giving you what you want can be done. However, there are several conditions and restrictions for
to do so. So, unless we et, we can’t be too sure of what will happen.]
Seeing the other responding like that, Zara had a feeling that the person wasn’t lying to her. And since she was the desperate one in the situation, she decided to take a leap of faith.
[Zara: Fine, I will have a date with you. Where can we et?]
She nervously started biting her nails as she waited for the other to reply to her ssage.
[I will co and pick you up after breakfast.]
When she saw that, she couldn’t help but fidget nervously on the bed.
’How did he find ? How does he know where I am?’ she couldn’t help but ask herself so many questions at once.
[There won’t be any streaming today. It will just be the two of us. You can have your people, guard you from a distance.]
Before she could respond, the other sent another ssage again. Seeing that, she deflated like a balloon, accepting the fact that once again she had been found. And whoever she was dealing with was very powerful. Otherwise, how did he get her private number that only her family mbers know of?
[ZARA: Fine. But you better be a righteous person. I won’t allow myself to be wronged!]
[Hehe, don’t worry, Princess. I will never bring you harm, trust .]
Although it was just a ssage, Zara couldn’t help but feel fluttery as she read the last ssage. Sothing about all this just made her feel as if she could trust him. But should she really do so?
An hour later, Zara was having breakfast, and it was another al of chicken porridge with vegetables on the side.
After filling her stomach with warm food, another eting ensued and Zara listened as Quinn inford her of the places, he would be searching that day. She listened attentively without disturbing him and acknowledged him once he was done.
"You take care of yourself, okay?" he emphasized before he left.
Zara smiled sheepishly at Quinn, watching him leave with a guilty conscience.
"Um, I will and you too!" she said smilingly while waving at him.
Quinn waved back at her before leaving the house with several more people to expand the search.
With him gone, Zara sighed dejectedly, obviously thinking about how she lied to Quinn and didn’t tell him the truth about what she was up to that day.
Seeing Zara like that, Emma, who had lived with Zara for a long ti, knew that sothing was wrong.
"Miss, is there sothing troubling you?" she asked concernedly, as she looked at Zara with worry.
Zara raised her head and looked at Emma, blinking her eyes guiltily.
When Emma saw that, she beca convinced that there was indeed sothing going on that she wasn’t aware of and that Zara was guilty of. But what could it be?
"Tell . We can help you!" Emma coaxingly said as she looked at Zara.
Zara once again sighed as she placed her hands on top of the table before looking at both Emma and Ava, who were both looking for her, seeking answers.
"It’s a long story!" she said dejectedly, hoping that the two would show rcy once she started.
"And we have all the ti in the world!"
