Dare To Love 31. Where Is Lea?
"Damn! Where is she, Amanda?" Once again, Daniel grumbled.Amanda, scanning the entire room and examining every corner where Lea usually chose to sit at such parties, shook her head in confusion.In her hand, her phone continued to emit the ringing tone while calling Lea's contact. However, after numerous attempts, a response was still waiting. Amanda became anxious because Lea had assured her earlier that she would come here alone, as she mentioned while still at home.Alvin glared disapprovingly at Daniel. Oh no... Lea was missing, but now a guy was trying to replace her and disturb his time with Amanda."Let me call her home first," Amanda suggested, trying to devise a solution.She then fiddled with her phone to dial Lea's home number.Several rings were heard before a familiar voice, Grace, answered the call from the other side."Yes, it's Grace. Can I help you?""Oh, Grace. It's Amanda...," she said."Oh, Sist Amanda. What's up?" The girl sounded surprised."Did Lea leave a long
Dare To Love 32. Amanda's Protest
Lea, driving her car quickly to get home, finally arrived in less than thirty minutes. Grace, lounging on a lazy chair on their porch while playing with her phone, eagerly greeted her sister's arrival, surprised as it was still too early for the end of an elite party."Hey, why are you back so soon? What's up?" Grace interrogated her sister when Lea exited her car and walked towards the porch."Nothing much. Just felt like coming home, no fixed time to leave, you know," Lea replied casually. She wanted to go to her room and give her heart and mind some rest."Yeah, whatever. But if it were me, I'd wait until the event's over. Or wasn't it fun there?" Grace guessed randomly. Her curiosity always annoyed Lea."I'm just not in the mood. It's not lively enough. Only made one acquaintance, and then he left early. It's annoying, and we didn't even exchange names," Lea finally vented her frustration.Grace widened her eyes, "Huh? You made an acquaintance, and he left without even knowing you
Dare To Love 33. Shane's Mom Advice
Shane arrived at his house promptly because he drove his car so fast out of frustration. Once home, he didn't greet his mom, whom he passed in the living room, because he was distraught. His first blind date was a failure due to Lea's irritating attitude. The second date with an exciting girl ended without even exchanging names."Damn it!" he grumbled on the bed. He then pondered hard on how to find the mysterious Miss Purple. Did the party organizers know the identities of the guests? Probably not. He didn't provide any identification to attend. He just signed the guestbook with a short name and no last name. Also, he should have mentioned the costumes each person wore."Oh, no! Why didn't I think of just asking for her name? Ugh!" he exclaimed. He poured out his frustration onto the pillow uncontrollably.His mom, sensing something unusual about her son, approached his room. She knocked softly and called his name, asking to be let in. Shane had locked his room, which was unusual."S
Dare To Love 34. Daniel Come to Confirm
Meanwhile, Daniel returned home, still very upset. The party ended at midnight, and he could only think about Lea. His efforts to enter the costume party were in vain, and he had yet to prepare a mask before leaving because he had no plans to attend. If it were up to him, he would have gone straight to her house and demanded an explanation for her unpleasant behavior. How could Lea treat him like he didn't exist? He felt offended and hurt like never before. Especially by a woman like Lea, a mere accountant. Even a manager from a large company had pursued him and begged for his attention, but he ignored her because he wasn't interested. Now, he was tempted to go to the disco and release his frustration through dancing and drinking. However, a call from Amanda thwarted his plans. She strongly advised Daniel to go home, calm down, and only go elsewhere the next day. Besides, it was already midnight. Initially, Daniel resisted the suggestion. After all, he needed to vent his frustration
Dare To Love 35. Andreas's Family
Shane accidentally fell asleep after experiencing his mom's light but pleasant massage that made him comfortable. Eventually, thoughts of the mysterious girl in purple lingered in his mind, leading to strange dreams with overlapping events that he couldn't decipher."Just a dream," he thought as he woke up with cold sweat on his forehead that morning. Rising and sitting on the bed for a moment, he calmed his still groggy feelings.After that, he got up and walked to the bathroom in his room for a morning shower. Usually, his Dad would protest if Shane didn't wake up and have breakfast, even on Sundays. So, for the sake of domestic peace, he always made time to have breakfast with his mom and Dad at precisely seven in the morning every day.That morning, unlike usual, his Dad was already at the dining table before Shane. He felt nervous, fearing he might get scolded because his Dad was known for having zero tolerance for any form of lateness."Unusual for you to be late, Shane?" Mr. Lu
Dare To Love 36. Start To Search
Meanwhile, Lea, curious about the person behind the pockmarked mask, tried to find out. She asked Amanda for the contact of the party organizer. Amanda herself didn't know the person but mentioned that there was one active member from the organizing club during the event. She recognized him because he had been to her favorite salon. Lea requested the contact information for that person. Afterward, she mustered up the courage, setting aside any shyness, to get a bit of information about the man who sparked her curiosity and interest. As the ringing tone on the other end stopped, a voice answered, "Hello?" "Yes, hi. I'm sorry, am I disturbing?" Lea asked politely. The soft voice on the other end replied warmly, "Oh, what's up? No worries, feel free to ask. I'm not busy right now." Lea was delighted to hear that and quickly introduced herself, "Thank you so much. I'm Lea. I apologize for being bold earlier, asking for your contact from my friend Amanda. She said you might be able
Dare To Love 37. Check The Guest Book
Upon reaching the designated organizer club's base camp, which turned out to be a house near the model agency's office in the city corner, Lea and Grace entered and explained their purpose of coming to collect a package from Daisy.As expected, Daisy was not there. Club members were present only outside their varied working hours. A model's working hours are indeed unpredictable.After a short wait, a tall, slender girl who received them brought a paper bag, which, upon inspection by Lea, contained a large guest book with a thick cover. She quickly examined it and found a separate sheet of paper tucked inside. The data of the door prize winners. Good, complete, thought Lea, expressing her thanks and immediately bidding farewell.They journeyed home, with Lea yielding to her sister's desire to stop by their cafe. In the cafe, Lea busied herself checking the data of the party participants. She first examined the separate sheet containing the names and personal details of the door prize
Dare To Love 38. No Result
"How was it, Lea?" Amanda immediately asked when her friend called her after returning from the organizer club's base camp."Nothing," Lea replied, exhaling a heavy breath."Oh no... Is it not in the data?""I don't know if it's there or not, Amanda. The list of door prize winners has complete information, including real names, character costumes, and phone numbers. Still, there's no mention of Mr. Pockmarked at all." Lea said, frustrated."Then, what about the guest attendance book? Was it a dead end too?" Amanda asked, feeling sorry for Lea, who seemed to hope to find the guy even by checking the guest book."There's nothing complete in the guest book either. Many didn't write what character costume they wore," Lea replied.She was lying on her bed after forcing Grace out of her room earlier. Her sister wanted to continue interviewing her, but Lea needed time to calm her mind and console her disappointed heart.Lea wondered what else she could do to find Mr. Pockmarked. All possibil
