The Younger Days
Charlotte
Thank you for the lunch. I will be heading back to the office, what about you?
Jackson
Same here. Do you want me to give you a lift?
Charlotte
Oh it's fine. I will be meeting my friend. You can go ahead.
Jackson
Alright. Then I shall see you when I see you again.
Jackson
Oh, by the way, I still don't know your name. I'm Jackson.
Charlotte
I'm Charlotte. Once again, thank you for the treat. If we ever meet again, I will be sure to repay you.
They parted ways and Charlotte went back to the Cafe to meet Sophia.
Charlotte
I'm really sorry! I had no idea he would just drag me out like this.
Sophia
It's alright. By the way, the girl he was with earlier was chased out by the staffs. She was causing a scene saying her boyfriend is "stolen".
Charlotte
About her.. he told me it was an arranged blind date. I hope she'll be fine..
Sophia
Guess so. So, how did you get to know him?
Charlotte
Uhm.. we only met yesterday. He was trying to comfort me. It's really a surprise to see him again so soon.
Sophia
I smell fate. He seems like a special guy. I approve!
Charlotte
Oh come on. You and your joke. We are only strangers. 😂
Sophia
Well, you have been blinded by that cheater boyfriend of yours. It's time to meet someone new. Someone who will cherish you.
Sophia
So, how are you going to end things with that jerk, Calvin?
Charlotte
Right... we didn't even have a talk or anything. He said he will explain to me.
Sophia
Are you still going to trust him?
Charlotte
Isn't that what relationship is about? You know.. he was the closest one left in my life after my parents passed on..
Charlotte
We have known each other since young. His parents were also not around anymore. I thought our love will become stronger. I thought we would understand each other better.
Charlotte
Am I lacking anywhere now that we got older?
Sophia
Although I don't know about the story between the two of you, but I do know that it's pointless having your broken heart repaired by the one who broke it.
Sophia
But as your friend, I will respect your decision. Just don't have any regrets, got it?
Sophia
Let's get back to the office now. Lunch time is over.
Charlotte
Alrighty. I will listen to my heart and make the right decision. Let's go!
A few hours later, it's time to get off work.
Sophia
Charlotte, are you done with work? Do you want me to wait for you downstairs?
Charlotte
Oh, I guess I will be leaving slightly later. Work is piled up, you don't have to wait for me.
Sophia
Ok, go home soon. See ya!
"Ding ding.." a phone notification received.
Charlotte
(Who is texting me at this time?) *Looks at phone*
