"Why do you care? If I recall correctly, you're broken up."
Mobius snapped, his jealousy evident. "You're just an outsider. Who are you to get involved in ourrelationship?"
"Yeah, well, I'm her soon-to-be boyfriend. I have more right to get involved than anyone else,"James replied calmly.
Mobius was taken aback. "Soon-to-be boyfriend? Has she agreed to date you?" No, Esther wouldn'tdo that. She wouldn't change her mind so quickly.
"Of course. You should stop harassing her. We're going to sleep now. Night." James hung up,blocked the phone number, then deleted it without hesitation.
He placed the phone back where it was and smirked.

Mobius felt lost after the call. He wanted to go search for Esther, but instead, he found himselfheading to Richard's room when he noticed the light was still on.
Richard was just getting ready to sleep, but when he saw Mobius walking in with a distraughtexpression, he was concerned. "What happened?"
"I just called Esther, and some guy claiming to be her boyfriend answered. He told me to stopcontacting her. I'm worried. Can you help me find her?" Mobius almost started crying, his voicequivering with emotion.
He had been losing internal battles in the past few days. He wanted to see Esther but was worriedall he would get was her cold shoulder.
Today, he finally found the courage to call her, but she was now with a different man. He couldn'taccept that.
Richard remembered seeing James Crawford on set that morning. "Calm down," he urged, seeingMobius on the brink of tears.
Mobius balled his fists. "I really don't want to break up with Esther. Please, could you help me findher? I can't get a hold of her. She blocked me… Can we go see Pearl? I'm sure she knows whereshe is! I'm close with Pearl so she'll definitely tell me!"
Richard's expression darkened. "Are you sure you won't regret this?"
Mobius, consumed by his worry for Esther, didn't catch the underlying meaning. "Of course! I needto find Esther now, I can't take this anymore!"
