In The Shadows

Chapter-8: Eclipse

Nora was sitting back in her revolving chair in the office staring at the ceiling as it revolved.

Why the hell can't she share it with me? I am her sister God dammit!

"What the hell is her problem!", she slammed her hand against the table just when Youngjae opened the door

"Is everything okay?", he asked entering inside.

"Yes", she stated composing herself.

"So when can I meet Zoey Lee and Bambam?"

"Bambam is in Bangkok, he'll be back in 3 days and for Zoey I'll have to check it with her", he nodded.

"Anything else?", Nora asked raising her eyebrows.

"Yeah, I'll just follow you around for the day and take some photos while you work."

"C'mon let's get started", she said smiling and got up from her chair. Youngjae followed her outside.

The whole day Nora was being interviewed on how she handled all the work in her Management company and how Team Wang formed and blah blah.

"So we are done for the day?", Nora asked him as he looked into his camera.

"Yeah, all done!", Youngjae said waving her a bye.

Nora was sitting in her office working on her laptop going through the pictures of Zoey's university. There were various pictures of students and there was one with him. 

The LA Boy
she looked at him and to her surprise there was no picture of him.

As if he never existed.
As if he was never there.

But what went wrong?  she rested her chin on her hand and scrolled with the other when she came across a picture of Jinyoung. 

"OH MY GOD! I need to call him", she called him.

"Hello?"

"What are you doing?"

"About to go out for lunch?"

"Where are you? I need to talk to you ASAP!", she closed her laptop and picked up her bag and jacket walking out.

"Is everything okay?"

"Just text me your location", she was outside, "I'll be back in two hours, cancel all my meetings for the day", she told her assistant.  

                                                                       ___________

She drove to the location Jinyoung texted her.

Oh this boy loves his coffee
she saw sitting him inside the cafe sipping on iced Coffee.

"You could've ordered one for me too", she said sitting opposite him.

He shrugged.

"What is it?" he asked when her hands impatiently started tapping on the table.

"You know about Zoey's past relationship. You guys went to the same college"

"What about it?"

"I want to know what happened"

"I am not sure what you want to know? They were the most popular couple back in college but they broke up after an year and a half of dating"

"How was Zoey in college?", she asked.

"She has always been the same. Friendly yet distant. You know what I mean?", Nora looked at him with a blank expression.

"See she was polite but she didn't let anyone close to her. Except for a few people around her."
