chapter 25
Leo went to the human world in search of Asher. But he first approaches Noami, his fiance and asks Him questions concerning the whereabouts of Asher which he couldn't tell so they volunteer to go look for him by themselves.
"Two days ago before Asher went missing, did he tell you that he was going anywhere?" Leo asks as they enter inside the car which they will be driving around to go look for him. "he didn't! He just told me that he was coming! That was the last conversation we had about".
"Do you know anyone he would like to see? He told me that he was going to meet someone". With that, thoughts flash back to Selina and the Day they met each other. She doesn't know why she feels like he must have gone to see her the next day because he could remember the way he was looking at her back then when the four of them met each other at her father's company.
The Look on his face was priceless and she knew that he was interested in her. "Who's this Selina you're talking about?" Leo requests to know the person she could be talking about because if it was really true that they have met, it could be that she was the switch Addison.
"Can you take me to her? I need to interrogate her about Asher". Leo uttered as she sighed. "But it isn't going to be easy just the way you're seeing it! Selina seems to be a very stubborn lady and I doubt if she was going to follow you immediately. Maybe I can find a way to approach her and make her have a few words with me".
"Alright! Anyway, as long as I can figure it out, she was the lady he wanted to see right before his disappearance. The two of them drove around looking for her which was impossible and Noami finally remembered to ask Him to go to Derek company which he did and they found her there but at that moment, she was coming out of a car. She mostly looked like someone that had gone to buy something.
Leo on the other hand was right in the car as he glared at her through the window and couldn't find any difference between her and Addison. She doesn't resemble the Addison they're talking about. Maybe he could figure that out by checking the blue circle mark which could be in her back.
"Excuse me Selina". Noami shrugged at her as she halted her footsteps and turned to look at her. "What do you want?" Selina was really in a hurry to go back to the office before Derek would start scolding her again.
"You seem to be in a hurry. If not , I would love to have a word with you! Please can I get your number?" Selina couldn't reject her offer since she was Asher's fiance and she could get close to her in order to see that Asher was truly dead..
"Alright Sure! I'm Selina! I'm sure you know who I AM don't you?" She uttered with a feign smile, requesting for a handshake from her. "I'm naomi! Asher's girlfriend!". She uttered with a smile as Selina groan and give her, her number.
"Thank you so much Selina! I look forward to making friends with you". Noami uttered and went back to the car. Selina couldn't help but wonder the reason behind her actions back then. She doesn't really know what she's up to but she does hope that she isn't trying to use her to gather information about him. After all, she can't be used by a mere lady like her because she's way smarter than her in different ways.
Leo and Noami went back home while he told Naomi to invite Selina out for a dinner that he will be the one to Take care of the bill and everything plus he will be going out with them as well. Leo need to do this for the sake of his friends and to know what happened to him and know who to point hand at if really he was killed.
Selina went inside with what Derek had Told her to buy as they later closed that evening and went home. Selina took her bath, freshened up and ate with Derek in the same dinner Room before going to bed.
She was tired and needed to think about her life and what to do. Just as she was about to sleep, she got a call from someone. A strange number to be precise. She picked the phone and placed it on her ear. The person's voice sounded like Noami's own as she came to realize that he was actually the one speaking to her.
"Good evening! How are you doing, Selina?" Noami asks, thinking of how to start the conversation between the two of them. "I'm fine thank you!" Selina replied back, trying to be polite and not sound rude because this seems like an opportunity for the both of them.
"I'm really sorry if I'm disturbing you right now but I have been meaning to ask if the two of us can be friends". Selina couldn't help but smile on her last statement. Of course she's also interested in becoming her friend. "I have a confession to make!! Selina said, trying to put her in suspense.
"I can remember seeing you for the first time when I had gone to visit Derek that day. I felt like asking you to be my friend, which I was so off and couldn't make a move on and I guess it's really coming to reality right now! Thanks for taking a broad step and asking for my phone number".
Selina said, trying to make her blush and of course she couldn't help it. "thank you very much". With that, the conversation came to an end as she smiled.
