Danica was the one who had called; she wanted to ask Frederick out to a gathering. Afraid of waking Alicia up, Frederick spoke softly. "I'm busy today, perhaps another time!"

He thought that he should keep some distance from Danica now that he had made his choice. He had to find a suitable time and made things clear with Danica.

"What are you busy with? Can't you postpone it? It's the weekend. What's the fun of me going alone? It's boring without you. I've already told my friends-"

"Danica!"

He was a little displeased by her insistence. He was about to reply that he was married and it was inconvenient to meet her when he suddenly caught sight of something from the corner of his eye. As he looked back, a slender figure came into his vision. Alicia was standing at the doorway looking at him darkly and almost eerily, her lips curled up as if vaguely smiling.

He was unprepared to see this and could not react for a couple of seconds.

Alicia had wanted to go to the bathroom but she heard some noise and naturally came out to take a look. She did not expect to see this.

She did not give any reaction, not even saying a word. Then, she turned and strolled back into the room. Her footsteps were still like a cat, making no sound at all.

Sh*t! Why did everything happen in a coincidence?

Panicking, Frederick was about to follow her when a voice anxiously sounded from his phone again. "Frederick? What are you doing? Why aren't you talking? Did you hear me?" "I'm busy! I'm hanging up!"

He put down the phone and hurried back to the room in large strides.
