When Wish told her to stay for lunch, Lisa didnt know what to do. She quickly got her senses back and pushed her hand away. " I-i have somewhere to be..."
" Lisa right?" Mrs.young called kindly. She slowly looked back at the woman, with a kind smile. Why would she be smiling like that when she should have been upset of Lisa and not even bat an eye? Wasnt Lisa the reason father left them and made them miserable? Then why were they welcoming her like she was just another normal girl who had no connection with them? Lisa was already feeling guilty from talking with Wish and now her mother was inviting for lunch.
" I have prepared enough for 4 people..." Mrs.young added, " Join us for today."
Lisa gulped, playing with her fingers. It confused her to why they were acting like this. They were almost sworn enemies. " No-"
" Okay, then Lisa is staying for lunch." Wish cut her immediately and nodded turning to Lisa. She was trying to say that it was okay for today and Lisa could relax, not thinking about anything else. " Sit here."
Lisa blinked multiple times still feeling guilty about joining them. It felt like she was an outsider, forced to have lunch. But Wish had already made up her mind which meant she couldnt leave no matter what. Walking awkwardly, she sat at one of the chairs.
Shortly after, everyone were seated, eating their food. Lisa couldnt look up from the food so she kept staring down, playing with it.
" Lisa, do you wanna try the salad?" Mrs.young asked, taking her by surprise. " Its only a normal salad, though."
She shook her head, " No, thankyou." and finally took one bite of her pasta. It tasted good. She could feel the stares from her front. She looked up at Lia as they had brief eye contact and Lia looked down at her food quickly.
" Her name's Amelia." Wish spoke, " My small sister but we all call her Lia for short."
Both of them didnt respond, quietly eating their food. Looking at Lia, Lisa instantly knew she didnt like her. It was obvious that she would dislike her. Probably even hate.
They continued talking about some random stuff to not make the lunch awkward. It was mostly just Wish and Mrs.young having simple normal talks. While the two girls, silently munched on their food.
" Lisa, do you want some?" Mrs.young asked to which Lisa declined. Wish sighed, seeing Lisa awkward. Suddenly, a thought popped in her head. " Lisa, you like BT5 dont you?"
She raised her head, hearing BT5. Of course, she loved the band and they were the only source of happiness when she felt down. She found them when she was 14 and ever since that, she was a fan.
" Lia likes them too." Wish smirked to herself, finally grabbing the girls attentions. This made the two snap heads at each other but when they realised it, they were quick to look away. Both of them closed up their excitement inside, finishing the lunch.
They finished cleaning up the dishes and Lisa looked around the house as there was nothing to do.
" Umm..."
She looked back hearing Lia's mumbles. Lia played with her fingers, awkwardly. She was here to start a conversation, for some reasons Lisa was unknown about. Was she trying to call because of Wish?
" Umm...." Lia put her hair back of the ear, clearing her throat, " So...which BT5 song is your favourite?"
Lisa stood their surprised when she realised Lia was here to talk about BT5 with her. I mean both of them liked the band. Also, this was the first time she had come across another fellow fan like her because the friends in her group didnt listen to this type of music. It did excite her a little, or honestly saying excited her very much. " uhh....i love all of their songs but my favourite is....wings."
" I love that too!" Lia suddenly bursted her excitement, " Sorry..." she quickly turned back to normal, avoiding eye contact.
"Pfft...."
Lia heard soft giggles from Lisa, surprising her. She continued giggling for no reason and Lia joined too, unable to control it. In the next few minutes, the two girls were talking comfortably, sitting on the couch. Wish and her mother stared at them with big smiles. For Wish, this was a successful mission.
" If things were normal...." Wish said, her smile fading away, "....it wouldnt have pained me this much, to see them become friends..."
Mrs.young turned to her with a worried look. She didnt dare say anything because it would only make the atmosphere gloomy.
" Oh!!..mom...i have to go somewhere." Wish suddenly remembered that she had to visit Martha. Who knows they might raid her home?
" But you are supposed to rest?" Mrs.young asked.
" I know, this is just very important meeting. I will be with William, so dont worry." she lied to her mother so she wouldnt worry more than she already was. " Take care of the girls.." she gave a quick hug, rushing to change.

Martha's car was already outside, waiting. Wish took a last breath and got inside the car swiftly. A few steps away from the car, Lucas was coming his way and saw Wish's figure getting inside the car.
" Wish?" he scrunched his brows, adjusting his vision. The black car wasnt hers that was for sure. " Where is she heading to?"
---
Wish sighed annoyed while the female guards did the usual checking and covering her eyes with the black cloth. In the hall, Martha was already writing something on the board. " Ms.lennon, you are late."
" I was rescued from kidnapping yesterday." Wish spoke irritated, " I think i deserve to rest."
" Im sorry, i didnt mean to be insensitive." Martha said with a forced smile. " Do sit down."
Wish did as she was told.
" Within the last few days, we have structured the perfect plan for you. And i hope you will cooperate with us." Martha pointed at the board.
There were various diagrams and arrows, made to explain their plan. Martha started her explanation in a serious manner. Wish, being tired and annoyed, wasnt paying full attention today.
" Ms.lennon, do you understand?" Martha raised her brows. Wish scoffed and didnt reply anything. This behaviour of Wish surprised her. It was pretty rare to see her act like this. Without wasting any more time, she continued the explanation.
Once again, Wish looked distracted as she played with her pen making continuous noise in the silent hall and only echoes of Martha's voice.
" Ms.lennon, are you not going to listen?" Martha said sternly. It was starting to annoy her.
Wish sighed and put the pen down rather hard, disturbing the silent hall. She raised her head to look Martha in the eyes. Her face showed pettiness and irritation. Martha was now utterly confused with her act. This was certainly something new to her.
" I dont want to use your plan." she directly stated.
Martha scoffed, folding her arms, " So, you want to reveal your secret? Have you made your mind?"
Wish continued looking directly in her eyes, the words seemed to not effect her. At least like before. " What do you mean?" she suddenly smirked after the question.
Martha observed her face, a feeling of panic rising inside. Her experienced mind quickly assumed that Wish had something up her sleeves and she was going to use it against her. Something....that could be as dangerous as her blackmails. " Tell me now. What do you have?"
Seeing Martha's tone change, Wish smirked enjoying the woman's face turning into grim. It was especially satisfying since Martha was the only one who could see her face like that. But now that the tables had turned, Wish never felt better than this. She took out her phone, showing a picture. It was the back side of a car....that was driving ahead. Martha observed it more carefully. That black glossy car. It....belonged to her. That means Wish was able to get their....car number?? The name plate in the back was not very clear due to the dust but it was enough to recognise the number.
" The day you sent your guards to rescue me from the kidnapper, you had sent the car that picked me up too right?" Wish raised her brows. She would recognise the car from anywhere by now. " When they took the kidnapper and drove away, i was quick to notice the number plate and without delaying for a second, clicked its picture. Maybe due to rush.....your guards became careless that day."
Martha silently listened to her, eyes going red with rage and irritation.
" So, i requested William to find me the best hacker in the town and being someone with all kinds of connection, he was able to find one within an hour, " Wish started swinging her phone, " The hacker was able to locate your car. Morrison road, Pacific hotel."
Martha was still glaring at her.
" Well, i know you can change your address and car number. But i have already got your personal details through the hotel." Wish slammed the phone on the table, " What do you say, Samantha Carter?"
