She sounded a Little excited on the phone. “Lorrie, is it possible that

He probably heard that you were there.”

“Lorrie, do you think there is a possibility that Marco is chasing you?
He’s paying more and more attention to you now. Wherever you are, he comes there!”
But Loraine found this suggestion a little annoying. It somehow reminded her of the way he stood in front of her
that night.
“Jennie, that’s enough,” she said with a sigh. “Marco followswherever | go. That's called stalking.”
She had hardly gotten off this conversation when she got another call.
It was from the receptionist who was calling to ask if she was willing to meet with Slater who was down at the
reception.

What did he want from her?
Out of curiosity, Loraine asked the receptionist to let him cover.

It was rare to see him dress formally, but that was exactly how he was dressed this time. And for the first time,
he didn’t mock her like he used to. He Looked a bit timid and she found it very surprising.
“Wow. What brings you here, Slater? The fact that you've chere to visitis very flattering.”
Slater smiled awkwardly. He was a tall man, but he stood huddled up against the door, looking unusually humble.
“Well, Loraine, | have something to explain to you.”
As far as Slater was concerned, a man who was flexible and willing to undergo change was a real man. For the
sake of his friend's happiness, he had to sacrifice himself.
“Explain what?”
