THE thing that Light place on Blue's table turned out to be a bag of potato chips. Blue's eyes lit up when she saw it. She can't help but tear it open.
She ate a piece and noticed that Light is still behind her so she lifted the bag of chips, letting him get some pieces, but he didn't move a little. Blue didn't mind him and continued to eat the potato chips.
"The clothes you draw are very unique. I haven't seen the same design in malls or boutiques." Light commented and Blue felt that she won the lottery when Light actually praised her.
"Well, your way of thinking has to do something with your creations. Some people wants to be unique and some wants to be like someone else." Blue spoke and when she slid her hand into the bag of chips, she realized that she finished eating all of the chips in the bag.
She casually threw the empty bag on the trashcan under her table. When she looked behind her, Light was not there. He returned to his seat.
Blue continued to work on the drawings and when she was finished, she stretched out her arms and leaned on the backrest of the chair she's seated on. She checked the time on her wristwatch and saw that it's already 12NN. Her gaze lingered on Light's back for a while and she faked a cough.
"I'm going outside to have a meal." She spoke softly and Light lifted his head. The guy glanced at her and spoke,
"Mom is going to cook for us."
"It'll be troublesome for her..."
"It won't be. She's also going to eat."
"..."
Light stood up and went downstairs, Blue silently followed him. The smell of roasted chicken lingered in their nose. Blue suddenly felt hungry.
When they arrived at the dining area, the meal is already prepared. There's a whole roasted chicken, crispy potato slices, mixed vegetables, and there's also a bunch of spring rolls. Blue's eyes lit up when her gaze landed on the spring rolls. Ah, her favorite food!
"Have a seat, Blue." Mrs. Lim spoke and she even pulled a chair for Blue to sit on. Feeling embarrassed, blue sat on the chair and quietly faced the mother-and-son pair.
"Thank you for the food." All of them said and started to dig in.
Blue picked up a piece of spring rolls and had a bite. Her eyes widened when the taste of all of the ingredients burst out in her mouth. The taste is very balanced. She would be lying if she said that her father's spring rolls are better than Mrs. Lim's spring rolls.
"You like spring rolls?" Mrs. Lim asked Blue and the latter willingly nodded and she even smiled widely. "It's a pity because my son here doesn't like to eat vegetables. The only vegetable he eats is the potato, so I can't cook a meal without potatoes."
"Eh? What will happen if he had a child? He'll be teaching his child to not eat vegetables?" Blue blurted out and she just realized that what she had said is very inappropriate, but Light immediately spoke up.
"The wife can do that."
"..." Blue went silent.
"Son, you're already thinking of having a wife?" Mrs. Lim asked his son with a surprised face.
"I'm not getting any younger."
"But when I asked you last month, you told me that you're still young and you still have a lot of time in your hands so marriage isn't your priority..." Mrs. Lim spoke softly, like she's afraid of being heard by Light but her voice was loud enough to be heard by Blue.
"..."
"Mom," Light called and Mrs. Lim immediately raised both of her hands up.
"Fine, I'm going to shut up now."
No one dared to talk after Mrs. Lim spoke and they ate their lunch peacefully.
After eating, Blue and Light went back to their workplace and they worked silently. While Blue was drawing the clothes for the last part of the chapter, someone sent her a message.
Unknown number: Hello, Blue~ How's work going? Did Light bully you? >3<
Blue thought for a while and the only person who talks to her with the '>3<' emoji is Pepper Mint.
Sorrow Blossom Qin: Pepper Mint? You changed your phone number?
Not even a minute had passed when the unknown person replied to her message.
Unknown number: Who's Pepper Mint J I'm hurt L You can't recognize me?
Sorrow Blossom Qin: How can I recognize an unknown phone number...
Unknown number: K, I give up. This is Thunder~
Sorrow Blossom Qin: Oh, it's you, Mr. CEO.
Unknown number: Why do I feel like you turned to be very unenthusiastic when you knew that it was me,
Sorrow Blossom Qin: You shouldn't have revealed yourself. That way, I will be very enthusiastic :p
Unknown number: [cry cry cry] I won't be talking to you anymore, good luck with your work~
Blue didn't reply anymore and continued to draw. When she finished, she stood up and walked towards Light's direction. She tapped Light's shoulder and the guy looked at her.
"What?" Light asked without any emotions visible in his face.
"I'm done..." Blue said with a small voice.
"You can go home now. Just come back tomorrow, same time." Light said and Blue gave him a smile.
"Thank you for today and thank you for the meal! I'll see you tomorrow!"
Blue picked up her bag and went downstairs while humming the tune of her favorite song, Fly Me to the Moon. Mrs. Lim was sitting comfortably in the couch when she passed by the living room.
"Mrs. Lim, I'm going home now! Thank you for the free lunch." Blue bid her goodbye to Mrs. Lim and stepped out of the house. Her car was already in front of the house's door and the Lims' family driver was just standing by. The driver gave Blue the car key and Blue thanked him. She entered her car and drove to her home.
BLUE lay down on the couch in her living room when she arrived at home. She was about to close her eyes when her phone suddenly beeped.
She checked her phone and saw that there was a notification from Words by You so she clicked on it and she was redirected to her conversation box with HeavenlySweetPotato.
HeavenlySweetPotato: Finished writing Prologue and Chapter 1. When are you going to write the second chapter?
Blue's eyes widened. Right, she still has this collaborative novel with HeavenlySweetPotato, and she still haven't written anything.
SakuraKiss: Sorry, I've been very busy with work and I almost forgot about this... I'm going to write a chapter now, bye bye.
Blue closed the app and grabbed her laptop that is placed on the top of her living room's coffee table. She didn't bother to change clothes and when her laptop was turned on, she clicked on the writing app.
But, what is she going to write? She still haven't read the first chapter!
She hurriedly grabbed her phone and sent a message to HeavenlySweetPotato.
SakuraKiss: Can you send me the chapters you had already written? :3
HeavenlySweetPotato immediately replied.
HeavenlySweetPotato: ok [Prologue.docx] [Chapter1.docx]
SakuraKiss: Thank you, great king of potatoes :p
Blue opened her Words by You account in her laptop and downloaded the files that HeavenlySweetPotato had sent to her. She opened the Prologue file first.
She felt that her heart was left floating in the after reading the Prologue. It was like a roller coaster ride. So intriguing and exciting. The great king of potatoes writes really well!
She proceeded to read the next file and HeavenlySweetPotato left a cliffhanger. Blue sighed and at that moment, she just wanted to be a reader! She doesn't want to write anymore!
Right, she's going to continue the cliffhanger, but HeavenlySweetPotato's ideas are really smart...
She read the last part of the first chapter again.
[When Theseus typed furiously in his keyboard, he's thinking deeply of who could the new boyfriend of his ex girlfriend be. He's tried to track the guy's IP address and he grinned when he saw the two words displayed in his computer screen,
'ACCESS GRANTED'
The main reason why he tracked the IP address was to know the identity of the new boyfriend of his ex-girlfriend.
He stared at his computer screen blankly.
The accounts linked to the IP address...]
Blue grinned when she finally thought of something to write.
[The accounts linked to the IP address doesn't belong to a guy! It belongs to a girl!]
She continued to write and when she finished, she sent the file to HeavenlySweetPotato.
She went to her room, washed up, and changed her clothes. When she was about to close her eyes to sleep, her phone suddenly beeped.
She checked her phone and saw that someone sent her a message.
The sender and the content of the message... Blue didn't expect both.
