Chapter 3

He was the same guy I saw in the forest. I choked, “Ahem! Ahem! ...”. Ash patted my back and said, “Are you okay? What happened?” “Nothing. I just choked.”, I answered. I stared at the man. He smirked at me. I was so pissed off. “Ahem!” It was Keth. “Since everyone is here, how about introducing ourselves and exchanging our numbers or maybe contacts. He glanced at me and the man. I said, “Fine!” Third time. It’s my third time meeting him so I better get to know him than ignored him. Sean, Keth and another guy stared at that man. The guy who hadn’t talked ever since we came into the room looked at him with answer no in his eyes while Sean and Keth wanted him to say yes. Linda and Maria who were sitting next to Ash, seemed to want to know too. That man nodded. Sean and Keth were all over the moon. I had no idea why they needed to ask for permission from that guy though. Anyway, the man who hadn’t spoken glared at him with curious look. (From Zed mind- Am I thinking over. At first when I saw him looking through the door window I thought he was just checking on Keth. He sent Sean there to get Keth back. Now he said yes to something he would refuse. (his eyes became more focused on Arthur) Did he just calculate from the start like Sean would bring those girls here. Wait! Girls?? Impossible…) (Before his thoughts were completed someone snapped him out of his world.) “Hey!! There you go. Don’t mind him. He just went into his own world in his mind, ”Sean explained. I was digesting his words. “It’s your turn now.” Keth told the man. “What? My turn?” the man asked him back. “Introduce yourself," Keth told him again. Suddenly, his cheeks became red. Sean and Keth laughed out loud. The guy who was sitting was clearly holding his laughter. “I…I…I”, he tried to talk but failed. “I am sorry. I will introduce him in his stead. His name is Zed and you can clearly see him shy. Yes, he is a very shy man so that’s why he never talks. And he is a hacker.” Sean said. Ash said, “Hey, what rank are you?” to the shy guy. “Um," Keth exclaimed. “Since you said you were a hacker, you must have a rank or maybe a name. Sometimes we could compete.” Ash continued. “You might not want you to know.” Keth interrupted. “No, it’s okay. I am a professional hacker and you are…?” Zed started talking. Sean and Keth were shocked. “I am Ash and I am a professional too but I just reached there a few months ago. I am Ak. Nice to meet you!” “I am K. Nice to meet you, too” Zed talked. He took Ash's hand and shook it and smiled. Keth and Sean were wordless. “Hah! You shouldn’t be like this Zed. You had made her a statue.”, the man started talking. “Arthur, It’s not my fault. She started it first.”, he pouted and said. I poked Ash but she didn’t answer. She looked like she turned into a statue in an instant after hearing his name. I knew it cuz most of the hackers knew the name K and afraid of him and it’s the same goes to Ash. “Hi!! Nice to see you, again! Ah! I mean nice to see you for the first time in person, K(ing).”, I whispered into his ear after I went close to him. I smirked and went back to my place. Zed was confused but after thinking for a while he seemed to understand what I meant and might already guess my identity. One by one and it’s my turn to introduce and after that the last one was that man turn to introduce. I said, “I am Stella and I am in my early 20s. I am a freeloader at my house so no job yet.” I smiled and ordered three cups of cocktails. Sean, Zed and Keth glanced at him once in a while for many times already. They seemed to have cold sweats on their forehead. Four of us stared at him lewdly. Suddenly, the waiter came and put the cocktails. He seemed to be uncomfortable but he said, “I am Arthur and I am now 26. Not married and single so I am available to try.” He smirked at me lewdly. I felt uncomfortable so I finished my cocktail in just a gulp and grabbed another one. Sean, Keth and Zed were dumbfounded and seemed to turn into stone statues. I was still drinking while observing the room and felt uncomfortable because of Arthur so I just focused on my drinks and yeah, you can say that I drink a little bit very much. Linda and Maria almost fainted cuz of Arthur but Ash and I held them so they didn’t fall to the ground. Ash was a bit touched by him and there was a small blush on her face. But I am not surprised anymore because I have already seen her ***** body. Suddenly, that scene popped up in my eyes. A drop of blood dropped onto Linda’s cheek since I was holding her. “Ah! Blood! Stella! Your nose is bleeding, ”Linda shouted. Everyone focused on me. Arthur came and princess hugged me and said, “I’ll take care of her so you guys enjoyed. Have a nice time.” Sean and Keth peaked at the door as Arthur left along with me. (Guys it’s time to go into Zed’s mind) (Ha …! At last, I was right. His aim was that girl named Stella. But I don’t see anything special about that girl but since she got his interest, she must be extraordinary.) He felt someone grabbed his arms so I was forced to get out of his thinking zone. It was Ash. She was drunk and of course, Maria and Linda were the same but Keth and Sean got them under control. Later, they couldn’t ask anything about their address or passcode for the phone since they needed phone numbers to call but failed. A few minutes have passed and they decided to take care of one girl each. Keth had to take care of Linda while Zed was carrying Ash on his back. Sean paid the bills and took Maria. They all went to the same hotel. (Please do not misunderstand me. It’s just that they were drunk and won’t tell their address so the guys needed to take them to the hotel. I am innocent but there will be some 18+ things later so…)
