Clarice had just gotten back inside the house when George followed behind and said, “Come to my room, Clarice. There’s something I need to talk to you about.”

“Okay.” Clarice didn’t think much about it and did as told.

“Close the door behind you,” George said.

That was when Clarice realized something was amiss. “What’s wrong, Georgie?” she asked while shutting the door.

“That guy you met downstairs. Who was he?” George asked.

He’s the handsome man I saw at the airport when we came back the other day. You saw him too, didn’t you? What do you think? Is he handsome? I think he looks a bit like you!” Clarice replied excitedly.

George ignored her statement and continued, “Did you add him on WhatsApp?”

Clarice nodded. “Yeah, I did!”

“Let me have a look at your phone.”

Clarice did as told and handed him her phone. “What’s wrong, Georgie? Is something the matter?” she asked when she saw the solemn look on his face.

George kept quiet as he went through her contact list on WhatsApp. Surely enough, he found a newly added contact that she had yet to start chatting with.

After a brief moment of hesitation, George decided to look at his status posts, but found nothing at all.

It was as if he had never posted anything before.

His profile picture was that of a starry sky, so George couldn’t obtain any information from it either.

Sensing that something was really strange about his behavior, Clarice asked, “What has gotten into you, Georgie?”

George shifted his gaze back toward her as he replied, “It’s nothing. I just found him to look rather familiar, that’s all. I think I’ve seen his picture in a magazine or something.”

Clarice frowned. “Really?”

“Yeah.” George handed the phone back to her as he continued, “He’s probably a famous person. It’s fine, you may feel free to chat with him if you’d like.”
