Sophie's heart had been ensnared by Gabriel, a mysterious stranger she'd conversed with for three years never glimpsing his face or knowing his true identity. When Gabriel abruptly vanished, Sophie's world crumbled. It's precisely at this juncture that James enters her life. Intrigued by Sophie's unwavering devotion to an enigmatic figure, James delves deeper. He discovers that Sophie, a confident 23-year-old, is also the daughter of a billionaire. Driven by curiosity and perhaps something more, James resolves to help Sophie find Gabriel. Along the way, an unspoken love blossoms between them. Simultaneously, two significant events unfold. First, Sophie's beloved mentor, whom she considered an admirer, is brutally murdered. Second, a reclusive tech giant known for residing in a digital fortress, communicating only through screens and masks gains fame in Los Angeles City due to his benevolent deeds. Sophie senses an inexplicable link between her professor's death and the tech geej. Amidst the chaos, Sophie grapples with her own and James involvement in this intricate web. Will Sophie decipher her connection to the 'Tech Geek' ? Can she unravel her mentor's murder mystery? And most importantly, will she find solace in James's presence, leaving behind the ghost of Gabriel?

Brenda stepped into the Department of Philosophy, where Mary awaited her arrival.

Mary's face lit up with excitement, leaving Brenda puzzled. She wondered, 'What could be the reason for Mary's enthusiasm upon seeing me?'

A small smile graced her face as she appreciated Mary's kind and friendly nature. Brenda had already deciphered this during their very first meeting.

Brenda simply smiled, observing her. Despite the mystery surrounding her mind, Mary's presence felt calming and weightless.

At the university cafeteria, Brenda and Mary found two seats to enjoy their coffee.

Brenda: "Well, I was researching potential courses for my master's degree."

Brenda lied, she had no intention of revealing the true reason to Mary.

Brenda: "What is your specialization, Mary?"
