Lily and Mira stood outside chatting when a car pulled up in front of them. The door opened, and Leon, Mira’s fiancé and a popular actor, stepped out. He wore a mask to conceal his identity, avoiding unnecessary attention in public.

“There you are,” Leon greeted warmly as he approached. He placed a gentle kiss on Mira’s forehead, a small gesture that made her smile. Turning to Lily, he added, “Hi, Lily”

“Hello, Leon,” Lily replied politely with a smile.

“Why don’t we give you a ride home?” Leon offered, taking Mira’s hand in his as he spoke.

Before Lily could respond, Mira giggled and interjected, “Oh, no need! Lily’s boyfriend is coming to pick her up.” She grinned mischievously and added, “I think we should wait until he gets here.”

Leon nodded in agreement. “Of course. It wouldn’t feel right to leave her here alone at this hour.”

Lily immediately shook her head. “That’s really not necessary. You two should go ahead. I’ll be fine,” she insisted, not wanting to trouble them.

Mira, however, wouldn’t hear of it. “No way, Lily. We’re staying. It’s too late to leave you by yourself, and it won’t be long anyway.” She turned to Leon for support. “Right, baby?”

Leon gave a small nod, siding with his fiancée. “She’s right. We’ll wait with you.”

Mira smirked playfully. “Besides, maybe I’ll get a chance to meet this mysterious boyfriend of yours.”

Lily chuckled softly at the teasing. “Sure, if you insist.” But as she glanced at her phone, a strange uneasiness -settled in her chest. She couldn’t explain it, but something felt off. Shaking her head, she tried to push the
