Jack was so startled he nearly wet himself when he realized Vanessa was standing right behind him. He scrambled to explain, his voice full of nervous laughter. 

“Nessa, honey, I was just joking with Felix! Come on, everything here–inside and out- runs by your word. You know that, right?” 

But Vanessa wasn’t one to let things slide easily. She crossed her arms, a sly smirk on her 

face. 

“Whatever. I heard it all. You can explain all you want, but as punishment, don’t expect me to wear black stockings or sleep with you for the next week!” 

Her tone was playful but firm, and before Jack could respond, she turned her attention to Felix, her expression brightening. 

“Felix! What a coincidence running into you here! Cici and I were just having a few drinks and chatting, and here you are!” 

Without waiting for Felix’s agreement, Vanessa waved enthusiastically. “Cici, come on! Let’s share a table.” 

Felix sighed inwardly. While it seemed like Jack genuinely hadn’t planned this meeting, Felix was certain Jack had reported his whereabouts to Vanessa, leading to this convenient “coincidence“. 

Vanessa quickly slid into the seat beside Jack, leaving Felix with no choice but to share the booth with a slightly bashful Nancy. 

“Fancy running into you here, Felix.” 

“Yeah, quite the coincidence.” 

Half an hour later, Felix excused himself to the restroom. When he returned, he said, Sorry, something urgent came up. I have to go. 

After everything he had been through, Felix was determined not to let anyone get hurt because of him–not even someone as kind as Nancy. Whether or not she might fall for him someday didn’t matter; he needed to stop anything from starting in the first place. 

“That Felix! He deserves a good slap!” Vanessa snapped. 

Jack quickly defended him. “Don’t be like that. I’m sure Felix really had something urgent to handle. You know how it is–being a traditional medicine practitioner means emergencies can happen at any time.” 

Vanessa considered this and nodded. “Cici, don’t take it personally. I’m sure he didn’t mean to run off.”

Nancy smiled gently. “It’s fine, Nessa. Thank you. I believe everything happens for a reason.” 

Vanessa frowned, shaking her head. “That mindset will only hold you back. Sure, fate exists, but you have to go after what you want. Think about it–some opportunities don’t come around twice.”
