Book of Fate

Alexa stopped writing because she was crying in her scene in the book. She pinned the ballpen to the book and closed it. “I’ll have coffee first.” She got up and left the room.

Meanwhile, Jack was at a restaurant because he had talked to someone about the company. And when it was over, he didn’t leave that restaurant first, as someone sat down again in the chair in front of him, and the interval was a table.

He was surprised because he didn’t know the person in front of him. “Yes?”

The stranger smiled at him and leaned back in his chair. “Good afternoon to you!” It greeted him.

He hesitated, but he asked again. “Excuse me! Do I know you?”

“No. I just wanted to talk to you.” “About what?” He was still confused by his sudden conversation with him.

“Do you want to see her?”

He frowned. “Who?”

“You’re looking for someone, aren’t you?”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

He suddenly doubted the person in front of him because of what he said. He didn’t let anyone know about Alexa except Glen and his team, so he felt a little nervous about how he found out about that. “How did you know I had someone to find for?”

“You’ll see her soon,” the stranger said immediately.

He, on the other hand, couldn’t understand what the man was saying. “What are you saying? Are you part of Glen’s team that you know the information is so confidential? I only told them that because they were the ones I hired to look for a person, but why do you know that thing? ”

It stared him in the eye as if reading his whole being. It didn’t even turn a blind eye to staring at him. “Be careful in the next few days because something might happen that you didn’t expect and I’m sure you’ll regret it.” The stranger stood up and walked away as if nothing had happened, and no word told him that he was very surprised. “Is that man okay? Does he have powers to guess?” But eventually, he just said, he got up and left the restaurant and went to the parking lot.

But as he took the key from his coat pocket, he was pushed back by the force of the collision with the man in front of him. “Sorry…” he apologized and bowed. But when he was about to step away, the man called to him.

“Jack.”

He stopped immediately and turned around, but he didn’t know who called him. “Why do so many people seem to be approaching me now that I don’t know them and they seem to know me?” he said in his mind as he figured out who the man closest to where he was standing was.

“Do I know you too?” he asked hesitantly because of the weirdos approaching and getting to know him.

Later, go to the side of the parking lot to talk. “Why do you know me?” he asked the man.

He smiled and turned to him. “You’re quick to forget. If you threatened me, then it was like we were close and now you don’t know who I am. Don’t you know me?” He was still staring at the man while his forehand frowned, but he still couldn’t remember who was in front of him now. “No,” he simply replied.

“It’s because it’s been a few years, so maybe you don’t remember me anymore and we did not really become friends back then.” He laughed. “I was Ryan in high school. I’m sure you’ll remember me because I was the only one who crushed Alexa, and you are the one who secretly became her admirer. ”

He came a little closer to Ryan when he realized that this was the one who had Alexa’s crush back then. “Wait! It’s you!” He smiled while pointing at him.

Ryan just shook his head. ” I knew it. When it comes to Alexa, he remembered,” he said to himself while shaking his head.

“Hello, It’s been a year.”

“How are you now?” asked Jack.

“It’s okay, I already have a family and a child.”

“Really? Congrats then.” Jack’s happy promise.

But it seems that Ryan thought he would try to joke with Jack. He will see if Jack still has feelings for Alexa or if he already has a girlfriend or a wife. “Yes Jack, Alexa and I already have a child,” he answered without hesitation. But he didn’t expect that Jack’s smile earlier was slowly fading when he mentioned Alexa. Jack, on the other hand, seemed to have his heart pounded by what Ryan told him because he didn’t expect it. “Alexa was our batch mate in high school?” He was still making sure.

Ryan nodded in response. “Congrats then. You too will end up together eventually.” He keeps on not being affected while speaking.

Ryan observed this, and he saw how it reacted, and it didn’t seem happy that his wife’s name was Alexa. “Why don’t you seem happy? Do you know the Alexa I’m referring to? ”

He frowned at Ryan. “Alexa, the one who I warned you not to come near. Is there anything else?”

Ryan laughed softly. “Of course there is. The Alexa I’m referring to isn’t the Alexa Larson you want; we have a batchmate who has the same name as Alexa, but she’s not her.” Jack took a deep breath. “I thought,” Ryan spoke suddenly. “It’s Alexa Larson.”

He nodded. “No, they’re different and I followed what you said until we graduated, but it looks like you didn’t confess to her at that time. What really happened and you didn’t say.”

He smiled a little. “I was scared because she might not accept me either.”

“Your courage threatens me, but when it comes to Alexa, you’re like a gentle sheep. By the way, how is your life now?”

“I’m the CEO of my own company.”

“Awesome, I thought you weren’t taking life seriously. Look now, you’re a CEO.”

He looked at it badly. “I’m still smart with you. I’m not just lazy, but I have a higher IQ than you,” he boasted. “Gosh not either.” He was still smiling. “But let’s be different. Do you already have a family or a girlfriend?”

“Nothing yet,” he replied shortly.

Ryan folded his arms. “I don’t think you can move on to Alexa yet. Have you seen each other again?”

“Not yet.”

“Actually, I saw her the other day at a mall shopping.”

Jack became alert. “Where is the place?” he asked nervously.

“It’s also just near here.”

“Do you know where she lives?” You can see on his face that he really wants to know where Alexa really is.

Ryan shook his head. “No, it’s just a coincidence that I saw her that day and just talked. But I don’t know where she lives.” He sighed. “Is that so?”

“But just in case, maybe just near the mall where we’re meeting the place where she lives.”

Ryan gave the address of the mall to Jack, and told him he might see Alexa nearby. “I saw her at that mall. If you want to go there, I’m not sure if you’ll meet, but I’m sure she’ll come back there. I’ve got a feeling that she’s often there shopping for her groceries. I just don’t know when she will come back there again. ”

He looked at the paper with the address Ryan had given him. “But thanks for this anyway, I somehow know where she is and it’s easy to find just in case.”

Ryan raised his hand to check the time on his watch. ” Sorry, but I have to leave. My wife is waiting for me.”

He just nodded at Ryan and started to walk away. He also quickly got into his car and left. While Ryan was walking, he forgot to give something to Jack, so he hurried back to their place earlier, but Jack was no longer there, and even if he looked around, it was completely gone. “It’s a pity I forgot that I have a number of Alexa on my phone. If I thought right away, maybe I just gave Alexa’s number, not the address where the mall is. If that’s the case, and he hasn’t seen Alexa yet, I’ll just give him the phone number,” he promised himself as he exited the parking lot.
