Dare To Love 21. Costume Hunting
"Where did you hunt for your mask, Amanda?" Lea automatically asked Amanda again over the phone."Huh? To the boutique, of course. There's a masquerade boutique in the mall there," Amanda replied from the other side, mentioning the largest mall in the center of the city."Oh? I didn't know that. Don't forget to invite me when you go hunting." Lea warned her friend."Okay, let's do it later in the evening, then? Many people are expected to attend the event. So, we need to quickly find one so we won't be late and miss the special one." Amanda immediately took the initiative."After work, I'll drop by your office then, okay?" Lea confirmed that Amanda's office was closer to the mall they were heading to."Okay, just make sure you leave at four; don't work overtime until five!" Amanda responded. She often arranged to meet Lea after work, and their leaving times differed. Lea was used to working overtime until five, while Amanda always left at four."Hahaha, alright... I won't take overtim
Dare To Love 22. Ticket For Shane
"Wow, what's this?" Mrs Anna welcomed Lea, who carried a boutique bag, waving her hands to show off.Grace, who saw it, was also curious about what her sister had bought.Mrs. Anna and Grace had the habit of sitting in front of their terrace in the afternoon, enjoying the beauty of the neatly arranged and beautiful small garden owned by Mrs. Anna. They were there while waiting for Lea and Mr Adam, who usually returned from work almost simultaneously.However, seeing her dad's car had arrived at the terrace, it was clear that Lea had come home late after shopping.Without a word, Grace snatched the paper bag from the high-class boutique. She pulled out a cream-colored dress with dark brown accents along the edges. A dark brown lining was also attached to the front bottom of the skirt. There was also a beautiful mask that, although super simple in design without ornaments, had intricate carvings that made it look classic."Wow, cool, sis. This must be for the costume party. Aiih... Grac
Dare To Love 23. Daniel Comes Again
The knocks on the door snapped Lea out of her reverie. She was staring at the costume she had hung on a hanger in front of the wardrobe.Quickly, the girl, who had changed from her work clothes into long pajamas, opened the door."Yes, Mom?" she asked, poking her head out of the door."Daniel is looking for you." Mrs. Anna's words immediately left Lea stunned."Oh my, Daniel is here again, Mom?" Lea asked, surprised. She remembered that he had been subtly requested to leave the last time he visited. Why is he back again? she thought to herself."Yes, he's out there. Find him. It's not good to keep guests waiting," said Mrs. Anna, pushing her daughter's shoulders, who seemed reluctant to leave her room."Just tell him I'm already asleep, Mom," she replied, coming up with an idea so she wouldn't have to deal with Daniel again.Mrs. Anna shot her a sharp look in response to her daughter's request, saying firmly,"Go find him for a moment!"Receiving such a look, Lea lost the courage to r
Dare To Love 24. Adelle's Costume
"Ish, no wonder he immediately contacted me, asking me to find tickets!" When Lea called to complain about Daniel's recent visit to her house, Amanda replied."Really?? He's so quick. He probably thought of you right away, huh!" Lea commented."Haha, yeah, he's quick when it comes to that kind of thing," Amanda laughed, ignoring Lea's panic."Anyway, please. Don't give him the ticket, no matter the reason, okay?" Lea pleaded. She didn't want her anticipated night to end up annoying just because of Daniel, who would stick to her constantly."Sure, besides, I can't help even if I want to. I only got two tickets.""Maybe you'll sacrifice and come alone without Alvin, just for Daniel.""Ish... then I'll be the one fighting with Alvin, haha, impossible, Lea.""Okay, it's a deal. I'll hold you to your word. Be careful if Daniel manages to come later!" Lea threatened with a grumble."Wait, I mean, I promise not to help him. But if he gets the tickets from someone else, what can I do?" Amanda
Dare To Love 25. Shane's Feeling
"Got home a bit late, Lea?" Mrs. Anna greeted her daughter, who had just arrived, strolling into the living room where she was sitting, holding a women's magazine. "Oh, yes, Mom. Adelle's house just stopped her for a moment earlier. Had something to do," Lea replied, trying to act casual and carrying her bundle of clothes as if they were files from the office that she sometimes brought home to review when her work got busy. "Oh... well, next time you come home late, let me know, okay? So I don't worry in waiting," Mrs. Anna advised her eyes back to examining the magazine in her lap. "Yes, Mom. Sorry... I just stopped by briefly to pick up a file she had left. I needed a copy, so I dropped by. Thought it wouldn't take long, but you know how it is, chatting until you lose track of time." "Huuu... you!" Lea then excused herself to her room, relieved that her mother didn't suspect what she was carrying and she didn't have to meet Grace because her younger sister hadn't returned from h
Dare To Love 26. Keep Secret
"Not even one?" Daniel repeated with a booming voice.He was contacting several friends from his circle who might have extra tickets for the masquerade party on Saturday. He regretted not knowing about Lea's plan last night. If he had known earlier, he would have secured a ticket for himself. But, being so close to the event, it wasn't easy to find one. The remaining possibility was to hope that someone couldn't make it and would inform about auctioning their ticket.However, sometimes, many of them pretended to be busy and didn't have time to inform about their absence. This made Daniel's chances of getting a ticket even smaller."Damn! It's so hard to meet up with Lea," Daniel grumbled. He then blamed the situation where Lea met her crush before being introduced to him by Amanda.Amanda, his cousin, had been friends with Lea for a long time, and Daniel should have known Lea first. However, reality often deviates far from expectations. Now, as a consequence, he had to compete with th
Dare To Love 27. Grace is Sulked
"Hikz, so you really can't get the tickets, Fred? Huwaaaaa ... I wanted to join, you know,""Oh, I've looked everywhere, Honey. There are none left. The tickets are really limited, and you can't just buy them anywhere. If it's not from their circle, it's impossible to get," Freddie replied with a tone full of regret. He felt uneasy delivering the bad news to his girlfriend, but if he didn't do it soon, Grace would be even more disappointed and keep hoping."But Sist Lea got one," argued Grace. She was truly jealous of Lea's luck, effortlessly getting a free ticket from her colleague."Yeah, that's a different case, Jo. Your sister just got lucky; her friend couldn't make it, so she got the ticket," Freddie explained with regret. He knew Grace had relied on him, with his many connections, to get anything she wanted, especially just entry tickets to a costume party. Oh, dear! Grace was genuinely disappointed this time."You just go home! I'm so frustrated! I might as well go to sleep!"
Dare To Love 28. Preparation
"Do you want to join me at my regular MUA, Lea? I'll wait for you at home if you do." Amanda's voice on the other end of the phone offered assistance.Lea thought for a moment. Amanda's regular makeup artist must be really good. She felt like getting dolled up there. But if she did, she'd have to go to the party's hall with Amanda, and she preferred to go alone."Lea? Why so quiet?" Amanda called out to Lea, who had been silent for a while, not answering her question."Oh, um, no need, thanks. But I already asked Grace for help, hehe; just let Grace do something for me. I'm not in the mood to leave early anyway," Lea finally replied, trying to sound casual so that Amanda wouldn't suspect her hidden agenda."Grace is pretty good, too; she knows how to do your makeup. Okay, then. We'll meet directly at the venue, right?""Okay... don't bother looking for me. You two enjoy yourselves with Alvin. I might end up being a disturber if I stick around with you too much. Especially Alvin; he se
