Chapter 41

While they were all waiting for Cindy to open the door, Julie tried to unlock it but found it was locked from the inside. "What was he doing? I told him not to lock the door," she muttered under her breath, cursing him. Julie looked visibly pissed.

"Maybe she's sleeping," saami said, her voice tinged with worry for her friend.

"She was so tired today, that's why she fell asleep and didn't open the door. Let her get some rest, guys," Tristan said, looking at them.

"But guys, she has to go home. What if her mother is worried about her?" hana said, looking at them with concern.

"It's okay, Hana. We'll call her mom and tell her that she's with us," Tristan reassured her. While they were talking, Julie quietly stepped away and called the guy she suspected was in Cindy's room.

She dialed his number, but there was no response. Julie got pissed off and dialed his number again, but he still didn't pick up. "What is this jerk doing? I told him not to lock the door, but he locked it and isn't even answering my calls," Julie fumed.

"I was sitting near the window, looking at the picture we took when we were abroad," she said. "How can you love her, Henry? I'm the one who deserves you."

"I did everything to get your attention. I never lowered my standards in front of anyone. I just want to be with you."

As I was lost in thought, my phone call brought me back to my senses.

On Call

"Hello, ma'am," Julie's tense voice was heard. The person on the other end sensed that something wasn't going right.

"What happened?" Hearing the person's angry voice, Julie felt a shiver run down her spine.

"Ma'am, I tried to call him, but he didn't answer. I told him not to lock the door so I could easily access it for her friends. I think something isn't right here."

Closing her eyes, the person said, "Forget it and go home. Maybe he's too busy with her. Don't disturb their moment." With that, the person ended the call before Julie could respond.

Call end

"Just wait and watch, Cindy, how I'm going to ruin your life. How dare you snatch away what I claimed as mine?"

"What is she, crazy or dumb? I told her something isn't right, but she told me not to disturb them," Julie thought to herself, shrugging her shoulders.

They all moved away from there and settled onto the couch. "Okay, guys, I'll call Aunt and tell her that we're going to stay here tonight," Saami said.

"Okay, call her. She won't be worried about us," Tristan said as Saami dialed Cindy's mom.

"Hello, Aunt. What are you doing?" Saami said to Cindy's mother.

"Nothing much, dear. Just waiting for you guys. When are you coming home? It's getting late," Cindy's mother replied.

"Actually, Aunt, we're not coming home tonight. We've planned to stay here and enjoy the day," Saami said.

"But kids, it's late at night and it's not safe for you to stay at the club this late," Cindy's mom said, worried about them.

"Aunt, I'm with them, so don't worry. Just eat something and take your medicine. Goodbye, love you," Tristan said on the phone, reassuring her.
