At this time, Fortune's phone rang, she looked at the number reflected on the screen and thought it was Brandon so she ignored the call, few minutes later, the phone rang again and it was the same number, fortune picked up the phone feeling irritated "Brandon I told you to stay away from me, even if you call me using different numbers, I will still block them you hear me". "hey fortune it's Zack" fortune felt abashed, oh no how could she act in such a way "oh Zack it's you, sorry I didn't have your number". "don't worry about it, I don't blame you after all, I have never called you either ways" fortune smiled ok "and why have I been honored with this call if I may ask?". Zack smirked "well I called to ask if I am allowed to invite this lovely lady out for dinner tonight". fortune rolled her eyes "alright, what time exactly?"she asked "I will be there at exactly half past six". fortune had no problem with the time and besides, she felt like she needed to go out "I won't disappoint you, I will get ready before then" she hung up the phone call, looking at the time, it was already 4pm. She still had more than enough time so she relaxed and enjoyed the fruits she bought. Soon the doorbell rang and she heard Asia's voice from the other end, "fortune come on open up".
Damn it, I forgot to unlock the door, fortune scolded herself and went to open the door for her friend. "fortune why did you lock yourself up?" Asia asked "because of people like Brandon and Camilla who always want to find me and won't let me be". Fortune responded helplessly. "you mean both of them came here together?" Asia asked in astonishment "no, it was Camilla who came here earlier, then later when I went to the grocery store, I met Brandon. He even went as far as standing by the doorstep of our apartment so I had no choice but to face him". Asia was taken aback "what kind of games are they playing, and this cousin of yours, what was she doing here, don't tell me she was here to apologize right?" fortune shook her head "I didn't bother opening the door and from the way she was screaming and barking like a wild dog, I don't think she came with apology intentions". Fortune analysed. Asia chuckled "how was she barking like a wild dog?" Fortune smirked "you know before opening the door, I asked who it was, then I heard her violent scream asking me to open the door. I didn't want to start bickering with her so I chose not to open and she probably started ringing the doorbell continuously, knowing her character, I didn't want to entertain the noise she was making so I had to play music". Asia laughed "I'm sorry fortune, forgive my laughter, you have got alot of drama going on. don't worry about it,I'm sure you can handle it now" fortune rolled her eyes "stop making fun of me". Asia chuckled "alright,okay I won't tease you anymore". At this time in Chris office, Zack had a wide smile after the phone call he made to fortune. "Zack, so you really want to go after her don't you?" Zack smirked "don't tell me you are so damn that you can't see the hand writing on the wall, of course I'm going for her" Chris pondered for a few seconds "don't you think she needs time to get over her ex?" Zack nodded his head "well, I am giving her time by not directly telling her that I like her. I want her to know me for some time before I let my intentions known" Zack said confidently. "and what happens if your nemesis catches up with you, what happens if Nora comes back?"
Zack abruptly lifted his head and stared at his friend. "Nora is not my nemesis so don't make such jokes and besides, I have given up looking for her. I want to start my life afresh" Chris chuckled "my question here is very simple, don't try to divert the topic, if Nora comes back to you after you start your relationship with fortune, what will you do? who will you choose?" Chris gave his friend such an ultimatum "Chris, actually if there was any hope of Nora coming back, I wouldn't have been here chasing after fortune. For the past five years, I have been living in the hopes that I would find her or she would come back to me but all that was in vain" Zack made a facepalm gesture in frustration and exhaled deeply. Chris knew how his friend felt about this issue but he still had to talk about it "Zack, you do know that the moment you and fortune start your relationship, even if Nora comes back, it would be wrong to abandon" Zack interrupted Chris and said angrily "stop it! she'

How could this be, she hadn't heard the doorbell so how could he be in. "fortune you are finally here, at last," Zack said with a smile. "oh I'm sorry, just that I thought you weren't here yet so I took my time". fortune said in an embarrassed tone. Zack chuckled "it's alright don't worry I'm just messing with you, shall we go now?" Fortune nodded, looked at her friends sitting posture, and said, "Asia, we will be leaving now, take care". Asia nodded without shifting her gaze from her laptop. Zack behaved gentlemanly, he opened the passenger's door for her, helped to fasten her seat belt, got into the car, and drove out. As soon as they arrived, fortune knew this fancy restaurant very well, Brandon would bring her here once in a while. Zack chuckled, knowing Fortune's background, it would have been a natural reflex for her to look around but she just walked like everything was normal Zack guessed "your ex-boyfriend has brought you here before?" fortune was stunned and sm
Fortune and Zack instinctively looked at each other. Fortune hurriedly opened the door and rushed out with annoyance written all over her face. The drunk Brandon staggered while walking towards fortune, "hey my fortune you are finally here, i-i knew you would come out darling, you are so kind". Fortune was so angry "do you need a good beating to bring you back to reality?" Zack also walked over and stood beside fortune "oh, oh okay, i-i get it now. so h-his your n-new boyfriend right? wait, i t-think I have s-seen him somewhere" Brandon spoke drunkenly with red glossy eyes and stammering voice. Fortune wanted to respond but was stopped by Zack, "wait, it's no use reasoning with a drunk person""h-how dare you call me a-a d-drunkard! fortune, you c-chose him over me right?". This time Zack responded "she chose me over you so I hope you won't be a problem" Brandon was stunned and forgot that he was drunk "fortune is he telling t-the truth, please b-be honest with me"Fortune was
Fortune chuckled "Asia come over here I will explain everything to you". Asia walked to Fortune's side and sat beside her while fortune told her what she needed to know. "well ok I have heard, we better rest early then" fortune nodded and they went to their respective rooms.The next morning, fortune and Asia prepared themselves in advance while on the other side, Brandon woke up with a splitting headache. He couldn't even remember how he got home. Some vague pictures flashed through his mind, I went to see fortune, s-she has a boyfriend Brandon whispered beneath his voice. wait, he couldn't clearly remember the man's face or maybe all this was his imagination cause he couldn't remember clearly. He sighed deeply, anyways let me not think much about it.At exactly 11 am, Brandon and Zack arrived, picked up the girls, and left. On their way, they had to get a few things that they needed including swimsuits. coincidentally, fortune met Camilla and acted like she
"Are you crazy!! Brandon couldn't hold back his anger, he pointed at her with a trembling finger "I gave you so much money, now you are asking for more? two million! two million is what I gave you, do you think I'm a free bank that you can extort money from? get out!I don't have time to entertain middle-class hungry fools like you". Brandon lost all sense of reasoning. Camilla on the other hand was stunned and couldn't believe her ears. Brandon's reaction just now made her think she was in the wrong apartment, how could he talk this way. She recovered from her shock and responded "this middle-class hungry girl is the same girl you were enjoying some days back, today you have realized that I'm hungry?" Brandon gave her a black look "you are just a piece of shit, I said get out" he yelled so angrily that it scared Camilla away immediately.what just happened in there, how could Brandon behave this way and say all those things to me. she pondered as she went back to
The two men behind felt left out but still spoke to each other. As soon as they saw all the animals they could see, they headed in the direction of the parking lot, chatting and laughing. At this moment as they ambled toward the car park, fortune took a glimpse of the man coming in the opposite direction, she shook her head, no this can't be, it can't be him, she dropped her head, rubbed her eyes a few times, she thought she saw the wrong person. she raised her head again to look at the couple walking while holding hands and was shocked.It was him! it was Alex! oh my his more handsome than I remember him to be and looks happy with his girlfriend. She didn't want to stop to say hi or remind him of who she was cause it was obvious he didn't recognize her even after bypassing her side. she acted like everything was cool in the company of her friends. Fortune's mood just dropped a few degrees, why do I feel this way after seeing him with someone else? she didn't know why she felt th
