A few days later

Yue is in her apartment, getting ready to go to the prison once again. She has no idea what to wear and it's getting on her nerves. She already washed and blow dried her hair in soft waves, painted her nails and toes, and put on a cute set of pink cotton underwear with a lace edge that gives it a sexy touch, just in case.

The first time she went to visit Dylan, she wore a simple pair of blue work pants and a baby yellow blouse, nothing that would attract too much attention, and she could easily pass as a consultant if anybody asked, mostly because she had no idea what to expect once she got there. Today, she wishes she could dress nicer for Dylan, maybe don one of the floral maxi dresses that he bought for her on their shopping sprees, but she's scared people will notice her if she looks too flashy.

She huffs in front of the mirror with two options in her hands and decides for the lightweight white top and black trousers.

"He'll think I'm pretty anyway!" Yue assures herself and giggles, feeling silly for being so giddy about going to a jailhouse

"He'll think I'm pretty anyway!" Yue assures herself and giggles, feeling silly for being so giddy about going to a jailhouse.

The warden has told her that today in the afternoon most inmates will be engaged in outdoor activities inside the compound, so they won't notice if Dylan is missing. Therefore, he has agreed to give them an hour and half in his office, the only place that no one would ever dare barge in.

However, around noon, when Yue is about to leave because the drive takes an hour, her phone rings:

《Caesar》

Yue ignores the call and grabs her purse from the bed.

The phone rings again:

《Caesar》

Should she answer? Nah. She is in a hurry to go see the love of her life, with butterflies in her stomach, nonetheless.

Yue goes to the kitchen, fills her water bottle and she's ready to leave when her phone chimes with a text message.

The phone rings a third time, and Yue finally picks up, concern lacing her voice. "What is it, Caesar? What happened?"

Yue knows Caesar has made an arrangement with a guard to keep an eye on Dylan, but it didn't occur to her initially that the call might be related to that.
