Book of Fate

Chapter 20 Late



Meanwhile, Daniella was walking to the plaza even though it was only eight in the morning and she knew she wasn’t late because she and William talked about 10:00 am that they would go to the plaza on Saturday.

Daniella sat up and sweat profusely because of the weather. “Who’s a fool who didn’t bring an umbrella, Daniella,” she said to herself. She forgot to bring an umbrella, so she walked under the sun. She also didn’t want to go back to their house because she was already half walking away from their house when she remembered that she didn’t have an umbrella.

She was already at the plaza, and she was sure that she wasn’t late.” I’m sure William won’t be upset when he arrives. I’m ahead of him now.” She first took the time to scroll on her cellphone.

While William and Charice are already at the mall, “Here we go. I’ll just play for an hour, then we’ll eat, and after that we go home,” said Charice, and William just nodded, and Charice pulled him into the Time Zone, where there are many machines you can play using the token.

Charice started playing, but William was on one side of that place. In the end, he changed his money into tokens and he also played with a machine that could shoot a ball in the ring. And to William’s great amusement, he no longer noticed the time.

Meanwhile, Daniella is impatiently waiting for William.” He must be here because it’s already 10 a. m. Why isn’t he still here?” astonished, she promised.

While busy looking at the entrance of the plaza where people enter, someone suddenly sat in a chair on the other side of Daniella’s table. She looked and frowned at the sight of a man she did not know. “Good morning!” The man greeted.

She was surprised by the way he greeted her, as if they already knew each other. “Do you need anything?” she asked.

Suddenly, the man smiled at her. “I noticed you because you were by yourself. Are you waiting for someone?”

“Yes,” she replied shortly.

“Looks like you’ve been waiting for that person for a while.”

In Daniella’s mind, “This man is feeling close, not because he’s so handsome that I’ll be complacent that he might later take out a handkerchief and cover my nose.” While frowning and not paying attention to what the man said, she seemed to be thinking of something.

The man noticed Daniella’s look, and that made him smile. “Don’t worry, I’m not like that.”

She looked at it quickly. “Can you read what I’m thinking?”

“No, it’s obvious on your face.”

She just fixed her hair and asked the man again. “Why are you sitting there with so many chairs here.”

He just smiled at her and stared at her. “You two are indeed so different.”

She looked at it curiously. “Who?”NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Suddenly, the man shook his head. “Ah! It’s nothing. Whom are you waiting for?”

Daniella sighed sadly and looked at her cellphone to see what time it was. “I don’t think he’s coming any longer.” She smiled at the man. It was eleven o’clock in the morning, and William must have been there before ten o’clock, and the first time he was late was

The man noticed the sadness in Daniella’s eyes. “Are you okay?” he asked.

Daniella faked a smile. “Of course.”

William, meanwhile, had just noticed that he was late for his conversation with Daniella when his gaze turned to his wrist watch. He lowered the ball and immediately looked for Charice, and suddenly pulled it.

Charice was startled by William’s sudden pull. “Why what’s the matter?”

William was in a hurry to walk even though Charice was stumbling. “I’m late for my meeting, so don’t ask because it’s your fault.” He was still blaming.

Charice frowned. “Why is it my fault. You’re enjoying yourself, aren’t you?”

William’s face was serious when he turned to her, but his eyes could not hide a little anger for Charice. “Take me to the plaza,” was the answer from William, and when they reached the parking lot, William got inside the car immediately. Charice just shook her head and got into the car.

It was obvious on William’s face that he was restless in his seat. “Where are you going and are you in a hurry?” Charice asked, even though she knew who William was going to.

William didn’t answer, and as soon as the car stopped at the entrance of the plaza, it got out immediately. “Wait! William!” Charice shouted and got out of the car as well.

William stopped where he and Daniella always sat at that part of the plaza, but a man was there sitting and not Daniella. “Looks like you’re late,” the man said and looked at William and the woman behind him, Charice.

“Where is she now?” William asked breathlessly.

The man looked at where Daniella had been sitting a while ago. “Did you see anyone? She was bored, so she left.”

William rolled his eyes at the plaza, but Daniella was not there, so he was ready to run and he might catch up, but the man spoke again. “Don’t plan to follow her because she left earlier and at this time she’s home.” And looked at Charice. “And you seem to enjoy hanging out with her.”

“Did you talk to her while I was not here?” William asked.

The man stood up. “I only talked to her for a moment because she didn’t seem comfortable talking to me.”

“Who is he, William?” Charice asked.

The man smiled at Charice and greeted, “Hi!” Charice just tried to smile at him.

The man walked over to William and whispered softly in his ear.” If you knew you had a appointment to meet, you should have informed her that you still had a date with the woman behind you. Did you know that she waited for you for three hours? Then, while she was doing that, she thought that maybe you were late, you had another walk, and you seemed to be enjoying it, so you forgot about her. ” William closed his eyes several times for what he said.

“When you meet again, I don’t know if there’s anything new, so maybe just prepare yourself.” It patted William’s shoulder and walked away without looking back. But what William didn’t know, as it walked away, was that it suddenly grinned.

When they lost sight of the man, Charice pulled William away, even though he did not want to go home.
