Second Time
LAURA IS BACK



Grace was parking her car in front of a minimarket. Grace bought a few bottles of yogurt to give Dafa to, now that she knows Dafa's love. Grace smiled as she held the shopping bag in her hand, she walked out of the minimarket casually.


Just as Grace opened the car door, suddenly came a woman who blocked her wrist. Grace gasped and immediately turned to look at the woman. Grace turned around, she recognized him, that woman who somehow liked Dafa was half dead.


"Grace."


"Yes?"


"Let's talk."


"I can't talk right now, I have to go to the office."


"Just a moment."


"Sir, tell me now what you want to say."


"Are you really dating Dafa?"


"Mmm, yeah." Grace smiled happily.


"outrageous."


"Why? What's the matter with you?"


"Don't I already say that Dafa is mine."


"really? I forgot." Grace was pretending to be remembering.


"Don't pretend, I'm sure you remember."


"Oh yes yes I remember, but unfortunately Dafa told me that he was only mine." Grace smiled.


"Why are you so out of touch?"


"can't? Have I not talked to you since?"


"Grace, I really love Dafa, don't you understand?"


"Laura, we'll talk later, I'm almost too late." Grace got in the car.


"Grace wait."


"I have to go." Grace turned on the car engine.


"Meet me at the mall after you work, resto X. I'll tell you a lot about Dafa."


"All right." Grace answered without knowing if she was coming or not. Grace immediately drove her car to the office.


Laura stared at Grace's departure in annoyance, not expecting that Dafa had actually abandoned her and chose to be with Grace. Laura learns of Dafa and Grace's relationship through her assistant who is always asked to find out the latest Dafa news. Laura clenched her fingers, now she felt very upset as well as hurt.


...****************...


Grace arrived at the office, she walked hurriedly towards her room. There was a lot of work waiting for him today. Before entering the room, Grace entered first to Jane's room, just saying hello.


"For Jane." Grace poked her head at Jane's door.


"Hey morning Grace, did you just arrive?"


"Yes, I'm almost late." Grace chuckles.


"Come in, is there a problem?"


"Nothing, just waking up a little bad luck." Grace lies, she doesn't tell Jane that she met Laura. Jane also did not know that she was already a Dafa lover.


"really? Not usually, did you stay up last night? Are you sick?"


"I'm not sick, just a little bit up late. I'm going to my room right now, bye Jane." Grace closes the door without Jane having time to answer, Grace does not want Jane to keep asking questions and gets more chatty.


Grace entered her room and began working on some reports that had to be completed that day. Somehow Grace couldn't focus, she thought a little about Laura. Grace is not yet sure who Laura really is and what her relationship with Dafa is so much that Laura truly loves Dafa. Grace only knew that Laura was a Dafa fan like Ken said she was.


"Is it possible to be just a fan? That woman is even very possessive." Grace spoke to herself as she pursed her lips, for some reason she began to feel annoyed at the woman who continued to pursue Dafa.


Grace sneered at her suddenly dizzy temple, her brain constantly spinning around second-guessing about Laura's relationship with Dafa. All the possibilities about Dafa and Laura popped up in his head. Grace scrambled her hair slowly in annoyance, and soon she straightened her hair back.


"Is it possible that they really were lovers? Did Secretary Ken lie to me back then?"


"Or maybe they were very close, but one of them cheated on me and eventually split up?"


"It could also have been a love triangle story between Dafa, Laura and Ken's secretary, didn't Ken and Laura look hostile at the time?"


"It seems like the third possibility makes sense, they are involved in a love triangle. Dafa and Ken could have stayed away from Laura because they didn't want to fight and ruin their friendship. Ah looks like I have to find information about their love triangle."


"Huh, I'm jealous of you Daf if you've really loved Laura."


"Did you lie to your story yesterday?"


Grace dropped her head on the table resting with both arms crossed. She kept talking to herself, Grace looked grim. All the bad things started popping up in his head about Dafa.


"Ah, am I thinking too much?"


Grace got up from her seat, picked up some mineral water and walked towards the window of her room. Grace stared at the hustle and bustle of the city down there even though her mind was not there at all. Grace several times sipped mineral water in her hand just soaked her throat that suddenly felt continued to dry.


"It looks like I should really agree to meet Laura today. All right, I'll go to Resto X after work."


Grace decides to get out of her room and leaves Jane's. He wants to see Jane, even if it's just to annoy Jane. Grace has always been like that, there will come a time when the girl takes out her nosy nature.


Chequek.


"Jane, are you busy?" Grace's face poked back at Jane's door.


"Yes a little, what's Grace?"


"I just want to visit." Grace came in and sat on the couch."


"Are you not in the business?"


"It's almost done, but suddenly I feel bad."


"It turns out you can feel bad too." Jane chuckles, speaks casually but stays focused on the monitor screen.


"Of course." Grace sat back on the sofa, a second later got up and turned to the back of the sofa.


Jane who glanced from the corner of her eyes finally stopped her activity and turned to Grace. I don't know why today Grace looks different than usual Jane thought. Usually Grace had always been calm most of the day, but the day now the girl was as busy herself, it could be said to look a little panic on her face.


"What's wrong?" Jane stared at Grace's strange behavior sniffing the back of the sofa.


"I think I smell a very familiar perfume here."


"Content fragrance?"


"Yes." Yeah."


"What's my perfume smell?" Jane was confused, for some reason Grace suddenly discussed something very unimportant.


"No, you come here Jane."


"All right." Jane approached Grace lazily.


Jane joins Grace, sniffing around the back of the couch. They look like people who are really out of work. Jane finally realized that it was the scent of Ken's secretary's perfume that had just visited her room a while ago.


"The smell is so familiar, isn't it?"


"really?" Jane pretended not to know.


Jane can't yet say that it's Ken's secretary's perfume scent. Jane has not been able to say that Ken is her lover now. Actually she wanted to say it, but Grace didn't ask at all so Jane chose not to tell before Grace asked. It would be very strange if she suddenly said that she and Ken's secretary were already dating.


"This is certainly not Dafa's perfume." Grace looked at Jane.


"really?" Only that word has come out of Jane's mulit since.


"Isn't this the scent of secretary Ken's perfume? Ah yes I just remember, sometimes I smell this scent when I'm with Dafa and of course there's Ken's secretary behind it."


"really?" Once again Jane said that word.


"Yes, did Ken's secretary visit you?"


"Visiting? Ah yes I just remembered haha, just a moment ago he came here to pick up some documents." Jane looks misbehaved, she's lying. Secretary Ken didn't pick up the documents, he just visited, sat on the couch and looked at Jane who was busy at work. Sometimes Ken's secretary does look very underworked.


"Oh yeah? All right, I'll go back to my room and finish my job." Grace left Jane's room with a smile.


Grace went back into the room and sat in her office. He chuckles at Jane's behavior a few minutes ago. Somehow Grace looks happy again, the taste for him evaporates just like that.


"Jane, you think I don't know about your relationship with Ken's secretary? I wonder, are you guys dating now? Secretary Ken seems to be fighting for you so much, he even went to Singapore just to catch up with you coming to Liam's wedding. I didn't expect that the secretary who used to look cold would finally be interested in you, Jane."


Grace smiled to herself thinking about Ken's secretary relationship with Jane. She hopes Jane gets her happiness back after the painful relationship she once had. Grace flinched from her daydream when she heard a brief ringing on her phone.


"Huh, why do I fantasize about other people's love stories." Grace chuckled gently hitting her own forehead with a palm.


Grace grabs her phone, she sees an incoming message from an unknown number. Grace scrunched her forehead for a moment while opening the message. Grace read the contents of the message she finally knew from whom.


Grace, don't forget after work at X's resto.


Grace did not reply to the message, but she decided to come. Grace chose to listen to Laura's story today. According to Grace there's no harm in listening from Laura's point of view.
