Kalinda clearly remembered Adrian’s last words

before they parted that afternoon. Now, she was waiting
for him in front of the hospital. The analog watch on her

left wrist showed ten minutes past four.

Will he really come to pick me up? Kalinda

wondered.

Soon, a two-door car stopped right in front of her.
The door opened, revealing a tall man wearing a dark

brown suit.

“Sorry I’m late, Miss. There was a bit of a
problem,” Adrian explained, rubbing the back of his

neck.

Kalinda had lost count of how many times she

was amazed by Adrian’s actions. Even though she knew
he was from a wealthier background, she was always

impressed whenever they met. The man in front of her
looked perfect—his handsome face, his tall slim figure,

his gentle voice, and many other things. Oh no, Kalinda

thought, feeling her heart race.
