"Hey Karina, can I ask you a question?"
Allen looked apprehensive as he asked the question.
"Go ahead," Su Ning said with a small smile. "Ei, is that candy?" the girl suddenly asked when a shiny gold plastic bag in the corner of the sofa caught her eye.
"Uh yeah. It's Haribbo gummies. Did you want some?" Allen offered, holding the bag towards Su Ning who nodded enthusiastically.
"Sorry, what was your question?" Su Ning inquired with an abashed smile as she plopped the gummies into her mouth.
"Yeah… uhm just yesterday.. in the afternoon, I saw you at the parking lot," Allen began.
Su Ning kept chewing her gummies as she listened attentively. There was no change in her expression which Allen took as a positive sign.
So the man continued, "I was about to call out to you. But uh.. you were with someone."
