Chapter 8 - Eleanor

Last evening went like a blur, Eleanor was still thinking about last night. How was Cameron? Was he okay? She shook her head and focused on her project. She thought, he should be okay because he's being taken care of, right? She gave up thinking and went outside to take a breather. Sunrise was beautiful, it's another new day for her.

She took a short jog along the beach while listening to her favorite playlist. Without thinking about the world, she focused on her run. After a while, she stopped and saw Lan Tian standing there staring at the sunrise. Lan Tian turned around and saw Eleanor, he couldn't hold on to his feelings and gave her a hug that was so tight, it was difficult to breathe.

"Is everything alright?" Eleanor was confused and patted on his back, "Were you worried? I told you I'll be fine." Lan Tian nodded and whispered quietly, "I'm glad you're safe." He looked into her eyes and found her lips, he went closer to her and was about to kiss her but she turned her head away.

"I'm sorry, Lan Tian. Even though we're just acting, I don't have that sort of feelings for you. Ah, it's breakfast time, I'll have to go. I'm sorry." Eleanor jogged back without looking behind her, she knew Lan Tian's feeling for her but she still wanted to win back Cameron whether or not he has a girlfriend or not.

Back in the hotel, Mai Ke went to Cameron's room to check on him. Cameron opened the door and let him in. Mai Ke was worried for him ever since yesterday's incident. Cameron said he was fine and he didn't want to talk about it.

"Are you really okay? Do you remember what happened yesterday?" Cameron shook his head, "I don't remember. The last thing I remembered that I was sinking and a girl rescued me. I didn't look carefully who she was but she told me, she will never leave me alone. She's a strong girl." Cameron smiled slightly. Mai Ke looked at Cameron, "If you like her, I have her contact information." Cameron took the sheet of paper and saved her information on his phone.

"Why don't you call her?" Mai Ke asked. Cameron looked at him strangely, "Why would I? I don't have that sort of feeling for a girl whom I barely knew." Mai Ke nodded and pretended everything he said was true.

After that day, they haven't seen Eleanor but Cameron was thinking about her without knowing. He was in daze when Mai Ke was asking him questions. Mai Ke looked Cameron and tried to get his attention but Cameron was in his own world. Little did he know that Eleanor will change his life in a little while.
