Red Flag [COMPLETED]

Chapter 35

Third Person's POV

Lisa sped up to Jennie's clinic. There she saw Joy reading a fashion magazine. Normally she visits the clinic late hours to avoid being seen by the public. Her appointment is after Jennie's regular clinic hours. The moment you enter the clinic you could then smell the scented oil in the air. It's very therapeutic to the patients which is why Jennie told her secretary to order the same scent.

"Whoa, I thought that your session tonight is canceled. Jennie called me to hang out since she does not have a patient." Joy commented as she saw Lisa throw her keys. "What happened?" She was reluctant to ask because Lisa seemed not in the mood to be talking to her.

Jennie heard Joy talking to someone. She just finished changing into her casual attire. "Joy are you going crazy who are you talking with?" She went to the clinic's lobby to check on her best friend. "Oh, you're here? Didn't you just cancel our session since you said Atty. Bae asked you out?"

"I think I am screwed up." Lisa shook her head. "She was being suspicious. I don't know how to handle the situation anymore without lying to her. And I don't want to feed my girlfriend any lies. But I was left without a choice."

"Sounds like you got into a heated argument." Joy tossed the magazine. "Do you want me to talk to her?"

"No, don't do anything. I think she just broke up with me or I just broke up with her. I was an idiot to walk away." Lisa raked her hair frustratedly. She slumped her body on the couch.

"Lis, what did you do to salvage your own relationship like that? I told you this will bite your tailback. It is really unfair to your girlfriend that she's not aware of what you are going through. I don't think she's a close-minded person. She could help you too just like me. But yeah, professionally speaking I know I can fix your problem." Jennie gave her lengthy advice.

"So what's your plan now? Are you not going to talk to her and apologize?" Joy asked.

"If I do that then I should tell her everything. And I can't. I just can't admit that I am going really crazy because my dead cousin has been haunting me. And there's someone sending me random stuff to remind me of him." She was really exhausted.

"Why don't we deal with this anonymous sender first?" Jennie suggested. She took a pitcher with infused water and grabbed a glass for Lisa. "Here, this should refresh you."

"I did try that and I had no luck. But recently when I went back to my unit Joohyun's portrait went missing. Others got destroyed but I swear I saw those at my unit a few days back. And it's getting all weird. Why would someone steal her portraits?"

"Maybe that person's intention is not to steal from you. It could be a stalker of Irene." Joy concluded.

"Who could that be?" Jennie asked as she sips on her glass.

Incoming call from Somi.

"Lis, we have a serious problem." Somi's voice had a sense of urgency.

"What do you mean? There's nothing more serious than my problem with Joohyun. You had no idea what just happened earlier." Everything has not sunk in yet with her. She felt stupid for walking away.

"Yeah, and this is about you and Joohyun Unnie." Somi paused to compose herself. She was sure her cousin would nag her. "I swear I kept the record of the CCTV. I haven't destroyed it yet and it went missing."

"What does it have to do with us?"

"That CCTV record was when Unnie went to see you at Pops' mansion. The two of you were making out inside the car, idiot. I was thinking in advance to avoid any problems. I was able to swap the backup but forgot to destroy it. I swear someone took interest because it was safely placed inside my car's drawer. I just noticed it was missing this afternoon. My car's dashcam and window got busted too. If Pops gets a hold of that then Unnie would be exposed. Your efforts of hiding her identity will be ruined. It's over for the two of you. You know how Pops would act."
