"Sorry to wake you up Sir, but I already found some information about Theia Duval." the other person on the line said.
"What did you find out?" Lloyd asked.
"That she's from a city near London. She works for a styling boutique named Azalea's. She lived with a guy named Chrome Lewis but she moved after awhile."
"I know that already. Tell me something I don't know."
"Uhm. Sir, I learned that she suffered from amnesia ever since she saved Chrome Lewis from an accident. From the picture I got from a colleague of hers, it seems like she looks like your girlfriend. By the look of it and if you compare what happened to her and your girlfriend, Theia Duval is your missing girlfriend."
"She suffered from amnesia. So that's why she doesn't remember me." Lloyd said to himself.
"Sir?"
"Are you sure about that?"
"Yes sir."
"Thank you. Your work is done. I'll just deposit the full payment on your account."

I still got the hangover from the kiss last night.
"Sweet dreams." Chrome said as he breaks the kiss.
"You too." I answered then I went inside my room.
Clichéd as it may seem, last night, I slept with a smile on my face. I'm starting to like Chrome. I now believe you can learn to like or love someone. It's not for everyone but it's possible. Well, what's not to like about Chrome. Aside from being sweet, he's eager and really hardworking. I don't get why that Stefanie even left her.

"Hello Lloyd." I greeted Lloyd as he entered the set for the shoot.
"Hi." Lloyd answered.
"Feeling better?"
"A bit."
"You'll get better. Let's go. They're waiting for you. Benina is already there. She's done with her hair and make-up. Chrome is also nearly done preparing his things."
"Chrome?"
"Did anyone tell you? He's the photographer today."
"Oh."
"Let's go."

"Are you okay Benina?" I asked her while we were waiting for her turn to be shot by Lloyd since it was Lloyd's turn.
"Hangover. After the 5th shot of tequila, I no longer remember anything about last night."
I took a bottle of fresh orange juice and gave it to her.
"You shouldn't have done that. You have a shoot today. Good thing you still look beautiful. Hehe. Drink this. I heard vitamin C helps cure hangover."
"Thanks."
"No problem."
"What do you think about Lloyd?"
"Lloyd? Well, he's a nice guy. He's really strong too. I mean emotionally since he manages his problems well. You know he's going through a lot of stuff in his life alone but he's still strong. Why do you ask?"
"Nothing."
"You like him?"
Benina didn't answer.
"You do like him."
"But he loves his girlfriend very much."
"Life, how cruel." I said as I patted Benina's shoulder gently.
"Benina!" Chrome called.

During the break, Lloyd was looking at Chrome and Theia will they are having a fun time taking pictures of each other and just fooling around.
"Jealous?" Benina said as she appeared from behind.
"Why would I be jealous? I'm just thinking about something I'm not looking at them." Lloyd said.
"Don't be too defensive. I'm just kidding. Oh. Sorry about last night. I don't remember anything after the 5th shot of tequila and I don't know what happened afterwards but thank you and sorry again."
"No problem."
"By the way, how's the search going?"
"I already found my girlfriend."
"Huh? Really? Where is she?"
"You'll know very soon."
____________________________________________
"If you don't mind Chrome, Theia, before going back to London, I want to invite you to a party. It's somewhat a comeback slash thanksgiving slash going away party." Lloyd said after he approaches us during the break.
"Sure. It's okay with me. You Chrome?" I said.
"Benina would be coming too." Lloyd said.
"Sure. We'll go."
