Sabrina was waiting for her client in front of the City Hall at half past nine in the morning, her camera
readily at hand.
The client arrived within two minutes, well on time. It was a round-faced girl who greeted Sabrina
warmly with a bright smile.
After exchanging greetings, the shooting commenced.
The client was relaxed and cheery as she trusted Sabrina’s aesthetic and photographic prowess very
much. Sabrina performed well and took many satisfactory photos, leading to a collaborative and
enjoyable time.
At noon, following the successful shoot, the client invited Sabrina to a nearby restaurant on the square
and enthusiastically introduced Sabrina to the specialties of the establishment.
The two sat by the window, chatting and enjoying the food.
Adjacent to the restaurant stood a large, bustling shopping mall that was teeming with people in the
afternoon sun.
From where she was seated, Sabrina had a clear view of the mall’s entrance.
Halfway through lunch, Sabrina happened to glance out the window, and her gaze was unexpectedly
drawn to a familiar figure. Lance?
Curious, Sabrina fixed her eyes on the man. He was in a dark shirt, meticulously groomed hair, and
sporting gold-rimmed glasses, presenting himself with an air of refinement.
Sabrina took a second look and confirmed that it was indeed Lance.
Lance had come to Philade.
What caught her eye next, however, was a woman in a white dress who intimately clung to Lance’s
arm. Their body language hinted at a special relationship.
Sabrina couldn’t tell what Lance must have said, but the girl shook Lance’s arm as she clung to it,
acting like a spoiled child.
Sabrina couldn’t see the girl’s face, but the girl’s act of coquetry was easy to spot.
Then, Sabrina recalled Bettie had previously mentioned Lance having a girlfriend.
Damn it! Lance was such a jerk. He had a girlfriend, yet he pestered Bettie. What an absolute jerk!
Feeling the need to act, Sabrina abruptly stopped talking, discreetly capturing a photo of Lance and thenovelbin
girl beside him.
Lance, seemingly sensing something, cast a sharp look in her direction. Swiftly, Sabrina ducked her
head, strategically using her client to obstruct his view.
When Sabrina dared to look down again, Lance had already disappeared into the shopping mall with
that girl.
Noticing Sabrina’s sudden change in demeanor, her client followed her gaze and glanced out the
window. “Sabrina, is something wrong?”
Sabrina offered a reassuring smile. “No. I just saw an acquaintance.”
“What? Are you going to say hello?”
“No, we’re not familiar. Let’s continue eating.”
After concluding the shooting and saying goodbye to the client, Sabrina took a taxi back to her
apartment. On the way, she pulled out her phone and texted Bettie, “Has Lance been looking for you
recently?”
Bettie did not reply immediately. Maybe because of the jet lag, she was probably sleeping.
More than two hours passed when Bettie finally replied, “I just woke up. He hasn’t been looking for me
these days. But I think he has done something to my father. My father keeps badgering me to date
him.”
Bettie’s father was unaware that Bettie was in love with Lance in high school.
“He’s in Philade now. I saw him with a girl.” Sabrina sent the photo she had captured to Bettie.
Bettie must have been fuming. She took a while to type before finally responding, “What a jerk! Last
time, he wanted to date me, but he called his girlfriend in front of me. He wishes!”
Sabrina replied, “I’m relieved to hear that.”
“What? Were you afraid I would lose my mind and still fall for him?
Do you think I’m you?” Bettie sent Sabrina a laughing emoji, clearly poking fun at Sabrina.
Sabrina was speechless.
“What about your father?” Sabrina replied, deciding to redirect the conversation.
“Not a big deal. I will show this photo to him. After he sees this photo, I don’t think he will still see Lance
a catch anymore.”
