Chapter 201 - Disoriented (2)

"Are you sure you're fine? You seemed a bit… tensed." Lance asked her.

Lily laughed awkwardly. "Yes… yes, I'm fine." While scratching the back of her ear. It has become a habit of her whenever she is nervous. "I… ah… I have to go." Lily said afterward averting her eyes from Lance. She walked past Lance leaving him confused. After walking unconsciously for about 20 meters, she suddenly stopped.

She hit her forehead with her palm. When she realized that she has passed her car already. 'Stupid! Stupid!' Lily mumbled to herself. She turned around and saw that her car is just a car away from where she is earlier. In fact, Lance is just standing beside her car. How did she walk this far and missed her car? She is really out of her mind.

Lance is about to get in his car that is parked beside Lily's car when he noticed that Lily is coming back. "You forgot something?"

Lily didn't reply instead she opened the door of a car that is parked beside his car. Apparently, her car is parked just beside his. Then why did she go that way? Lance was confused. He watched as Lily's car went out of the parking lot while scratching the back of his head.

At the same time, Jacob and J were on their way to Lantana Province. Jacob is driving J's Sports Car, while J is sitting comfortably on the passenger's seat. This is the first time that J rides her sports car with her sitting on the passenger's seat. This is also the first time that someone other than J is driving her sports car. J is very possessive, she would never let anyone drive her car may it be her Sports Car or Race Car.

But Jacob is special because he didn't have to ask permission from J to drive her car. As if J has a choice.

On their way, J received a call from Lily.

"Hey! Are you still at home?" Lily asked her apprehensively which J was quick to notice. She sounds like the opposite of what she uses to be, carefree and playful.

J furrowed her brow, "No. Why? Did something happen?" J's reply was short and direct. Upon hearing it, Jacob takes a quick glance at her wondering who is she talking to.

"I... ah... Ha-ha... Can we have lunch? Just the two of us?" Lily sounds awkward to J.

"I'm off to somewhere but if it is something important or urgent, I can go back," J said nonchalantly.

"Oh... no! No need. I can wait until you come back." Lily replied trying to sound animated.

"Is something wrong? Tell me. Straight to the point." J tried to restrain her dissatisfaction because it is Lily. She has a soft spot towards Lily and the way Lily sounded on the phone she knew that something is wrong with her thou she knew she is not in danger because if she is, she would have called Jacob instead. She doesn't want to be left hanging.

"Ha-ha! Nothing, it's just a girl thing. You know. It can wait. Just call me when you're back. Bye-bye." and with that, Lily hanged up. J looked at her phone seeing that the call just ended. Lily's good spirits sound fake to J. She said it's a girl thing. Does she look like someone that would casually talk about girl thing? She thought then she shrugs her shoulders.

Thou Lily could talk about it with one or some of her girlfriends, she would rather talk about it with a family that she trusts. And hopefully, a family that is about her age. And her sister-in-law fits.

"Who's that?" Jacob asked her.

"It's Lily. She said she wanted to talk about girl things. I'm not sure." J replied not wanting to receive further questions from Jacob.
