40 Dream Of Me

Keira was looking at the photos of a woman on her mobile phone sent to her by John.

She shook her head and said, "Tsk, tsk. I won't let you bug my man. You left him and how dare you come back!"

The woman was three years younger than Zach and she looked pretty on the pictures. Keira sighed, she knew she had more advantages, compared to that woman, anyway, she couldn't help but become envious of the time Zach and that woman had spent together.

They were childhood sweethearts. And Keira was a big fan of that kind of love stories since childhood.

Suddenly, her face became sour.

"I hate childhood sweetheart stories now!" She exclaimed irritably.

She would deal with Zach's EX later because she knew that the woman wouldn't dare to meet Zach for now.

Keira then looked at the report about Old Madam Liu.

"Hmm… very impressive." She murmured, seeing all the achievements of Old Madam Liu.

"Ohh, what's this?" She gasped at the sudden thought that crossed her mind while she was reading Old Madam Liu's profile.

She felt that she would really have a hard time dealing with Old Madam, but of course, it's not impossible.

She had to find the weakness of the Lius.

"Oh please, I don't want a nightmare tonight…" she said and tried to erase the images of Glaring Madam Liu from her mind. Never had she seen the old lady smile even once on all photos.

She looked at Zach's photo on her mobile phone and giggled.

"I bet you always dream of me," she mumbled before she closed her eyes.

....

Zach occupied himself with evening work-outs since he couldn't sleep at all.

He sighed as sweat ran down all over his lean body.

Then he simpered. This was the first time he got so distracted because of a woman.

"Maybe, there's no need to worry? I'm sure she did not mean that, did she? She's drunk at that time, so it's probably the alcohol..." he murmured then he unconsciously touched his lips.

That was absolutely not his first kiss, so how come he was feeling like this. He cleaned up and changed to sleep. He took the pills Torin had given and hopefully, he would be able to sleep normally soon.

But he got startled by his doorbell. It was his sister Lyra so he quickly opened the door.

"Big Bro!" Lyra excitedly hugged Zach.

"Wait, why didn't you call me, Lyra, so I could have picked you up at the dorm," he asked and helped Lyra with her baggage.

"I wanted to surprise you. After the exam, I don't want to go home yet. So let me stay here for a while, okay?" Lyra said smiling and sat on the sofa.

Zach smiled and said, "As well you can live here so stop asking permission."

"But you should live alone and bring a woman to your home soon…" Lyra teased and her eyes widened when her brother blushed all of a sudden.

"What the heck? You have a girlfriend already, Big Bro?" She asked in shock.

Then, she smiled happily and added, "Oh my, Big Bro, I will be the happiest single person alive once you have a woman and get over that bitch!"

"Lyra, watch your language!" Zach scolded.

Lyra pouted her lips and replied, "What? It's true that woman is a bitch! She doesn't deserve even the slightest, tiniest, precious time of yours. I will even pull her hair until she gets bald once I see her!"

Lyra was burning in anger upon remembering how her brother suffered because of that bitch!

She sighed and immediately changed the topic.

"So, tell me who's your new woman?" Lyra asked once more and stared at Zach.

Zach knew his sister very well and that she would not stop until she heard something from him, so he let out a long sigh and said, "There's no one, Lyra. It's just a girl who recently told me that she likes me. That's all."

"Who is she?" Lyra asked with sparkling eyes, indicating that she was too excited to hear the whole story.

Zach cursed inwardly. He couldn't hide anything from Lyra at all. She was too good at reading people and he was not an exception.

So, he told her what happened.

"Oh my God, Big Bro! You're in big trouble! Field Marshal Chan's daughter is a spoiled brat. She always gets what she wants by all means… Oh, I'm not sure If I should congratulate you or say good luck, Big Bro. So let me do both. Congratulations and Goodluck." Lyra warned and laughed out hard as she stood up.

"Wait, how did you know about her? And when did you start to believe in hearsays?" Zach asked with an arched brow.

"I'm already sleepy, Big Bro. Let me tell it to you tomorrow because it's just not a hearsay. I literally witnessed how she was making precise plans to get what she wanted… and she's really good. Honestly, I like her because she's not pretentious at all, unlike others, especially that bitch Thea!" Lyra explained and walked directly to one of Zach's spare rooms where she often slept.

Zach was left in terror…

"Am I really in big trouble?" He murmured, as his eyes became heavy because the sleeping pill already was taking effect.
