“It’s fine. If Mia isn’t here, I’ll just wait until she gets back,” Nick said with a strained smile. “I really need to see her.”
The fact that he wouldn’t give his name immediately raised Zoe’s suspicions. “Could he be some kind of stalker?” she thought. After all, strange people weren’t uncommon abroad. It was better to be cautious.
Wary of Nick’s intentions, Zoe politely closed the door without inviting him inside. She the discreetly snapped a photo of him through the window and sent it to Mia with a text, “Mia, this guy came by looking for you. Do you know him?”
At that moment, Mia was out on a date with James. When she saw the photo Zoe had sent, her smile froze.

How did he find her?!
“Mia, is everything alright?” James asked gently immediately noticing her change in expression. “You look upset.”
The soft moonlight and candlelit dinner provided a perfect romantic setting, but Mia couldn’t enjoy it now.
“Sorry, something urgent has come up at home. I need to go back,” she said apologetically, standing up gracefully and giving him an apologetic glance.
Some things were inevitable, no matter how much one wanted to avoid them.
If Nick had come all this way to find her, then she might as well face him.
It was time to make things clear and tell him to leave for good. He had no right to disrupt her new life!
