Zi Mei had wasted as much time as she could at the mall before heading home. She used an app to get an e-hailing ride back home. After the driver dropped her home, she stood outside for a while and the memory of seeing Darren's finger elongating and snaking through her door emerged.
She shivered at the memory. Still, she needs to go home. She can't stay outside forever. As she stepped forward to her front door, someone spoke behind her.
"Miss Tan, I think it's best you don't go in just yet," the quiet voice behind her said.
Given that she was still jittery from what she saw earlier, Zi Mei almost had a heart attack at the voice. She screamed, jumped and swirled around.
It was the handsome CEO Thorin Loong.
Why didn't she see him standing there earlier? It's not that dark even though it is night. There is a street lamp just outside her house.
