The Mysterious Matchmaker

CHAPTER 18

After the disastrous meeting between Lily and Alex, Sheryna didn't hear from them for a while. She assumed that they had both moved on and found other matches through her service. But one day, she received a call from Lily, asking to meet with her.

"I know things didn't go well last time we met," Lily said, her voice hesitant. "But I wanted to talk to you about something."

"Of course," Sheryna said, sensing that this was an important conversation.

"I've been thinking a lot about what happened between Alex and me," Lily said. "And I realized that I never really gave him a chance. I was so caught up in our past that I couldn't see the potential for our future."

Sheryna was surprised. She had assumed that Lily had moved on from Alex and was happy with someone else.

"I see," Sheryna said, trying to keep her voice neutral. "What do you want to do about it?"

"I want to see if there's still something between us," Lily said, her voice filled with determination. "I want to talk to Alex and see if we can work things out."

Sheryna was impressed by Lily's bravery and willingness to take a chance on love. She agreed to set up a meeting between Lily and Alex, hoping that this time things would go better.

When they met, Sheryna could sense the tension between them. But this time, they were both willing to listen and talk things out. They shared their feelings and concerns, and Sheryna acted as a mediator, helping them to see each other's perspectives.

As they talked, Sheryna could see the sparks flying between them. She knew that they still had chemistry and that they were meant to be together.

In the end, Lily and Alex reconciled their past and decided to give their relationship another chance. They fell in love all over again, and Sheryna could see the happiness radiating from them.

"Thank you so much, Sheryna," Lily said, tears of joy in her eyes. "If it wasn't for you, we never would have worked things out."

Alex nodded in agreement. "You brought us together and helped us to see what was important," he said. "We owe you so much."

Sheryna smiled, feeling a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment. This was why she had started her matchmaking service, to help people find love and happiness. And in this case, she had succeeded beyond her wildest dreams.

As Lily and Alex walked away, hand in hand, Sheryna knew that she had made a difference in their lives. And that was all the reward she needed.
