TRUTH AND LIES
Episode 41
Alyssa’s Pov continues:
I kept following him secretly and prayed I don’t get caught.
But I hope I’m not doing the wrong thing?
Well, of course I’m not.
I really can’t control the curiosity anymore.
I want to know who Nigel is.
He took another turn and I followed. But surprisingly, when I got to the corner he had taken, I couldn’t find him there.
What the heck?
Did he just evaporate or something?
I looked ahead but there was no sign of him.
Where could he be?
“Are you looking for something, miss?” I heard a voice from behind and I turned to see him standing behind me.
Huh?
Had he been hiding?
I itched my head and looked around.
“Uh…Nigel, did…did you see the apple seller that passed along this road?” I asked, pointing forward.
He looked at me as if he was about laughing.
“Apple seller? Seriously?” He asked.
“Well, yes. I…I just feel like eating some apples and thought maybe I might find some around here” I said.
“Oh. So, it isn’t like you actually saw an apple seller?” He asked and I realised how stupid I had been.
“Uh..not exactly. I just thought I might find one around here” .
“Why re you sneaking up on me, Alyssa?” He asked and I knew that was it.
I was busted.
“I wasn’t sneaking up on you, Nigel. I was really looking for an orange seller…sorry, an apple seller” I replied and itched my head.
He looked at me and chuckled.
“Well, good luck with the search. Just don’t sneak up on me again, Alyssa. I’m serious” he said and stopped the next cab that drove by.
I frowned and crossed my hands.
How the hell did he know I was following him?
He entered the cab and laughed.
“Apple buyer” he mumbled as they took off.
What?
He’s such a jerk.
Mico’s Pov:
I couldn’t stop laughing on my way home.
I had already called my guards and I was now in my own car, with my mask.
This Alyssa isis such a drama queen. I’m so lucky I didn’t get caught.
I can’t believe she’s actually becoming suspicious of me.
Soon, I got home and met my mum in the sitting room with some people.
“Mico!” She called excitedly as she came upto me and gave me a peck.
The people she were with stood up and welcomed me.
“Good evening, Mr Mico” they greeted warmly and I just nodded at them.
One of the ladies among them was just smiling like someone being used for an advert.
Alyssa was far more beautiful than her.
“Where have you been, darling? I’ve been waiting for you” mum said.
“Come and have a seat. These are from the event planners unit. They have some questions to ask you regarding the party”.
She took me to a seat where I sat facing the people.
I myself can’t imagine how this party’s going to look like, with all the efforts mum has been putting into it.
“Mr Mico, what is your favourite color?” One of them asked while the other two got ready with their pen and book.
“um. ..indigo” I replied.
“Okay. How do you love your sparkles?” They asked and I itched my head.
I looked at mum and she was smiling at me.
This woman is making me feel like I’m preparing for my wedding.
The Unknown’s Pov:
“You guys are nothing but bunch of fools.” I said angrily on the phone.
“I paid you awesomely, yet, you couldn’t get a simple job done for me.
How can you tell me she escaped?”
“I’m sorry, but I’ve explained things to you.
I thought she was dead. With the way it had looked, there was nowhere she could had escaped that fire.
She must have been rescued by someone” the fool replied, increasing my anger.
“But, why didn’t you wait to confirm I’m sorry she was dead or not before leaving?” I Asked.
“I’m sorry but I had another mission elsewhere” .
I grinned and kicked the table.
“I hate you. I hate all of you! Just get lost!” I snarled and ended the call.
