For the next couple of days, whenever Raelle and Shui Xian went running in the morning, Shui Xian would look around the track but when he didn't catch a glimpse of whom he had been looking for, his eyes droop down showing his mood clearly.

On a Friday morning, it happened again. Raelle took a moment to contemplate before she asked one of her bodyguards to do something for her. That evening when Raelle came from work, she didn't go home. Instead, the car took another turn in the residential area. As the driver parked the car, she asked, "Is this the house?"

"Yes, Missy!"

Raelle stepped out to look at the house in front of her and stepped over to ring the doorbell. She waited for a while but there was no response. She rang the doorbell again. But it was only after ringing the doorbell three times that the door was opened.

"Stop ringing the bell already," came a hoarse voice. "I heard it the first time." And then the person hugged the blanket around him and looked up at Raelle.

Raelle paused slightly when she saw the person standing before her. Meanwhile, the house owner was also left stunned when he saw Raelle only because she looked stunning. Those red wide-leg sailor pants matched with a white silk tank top and a red blazer were a look to behold. And no one could possibly say otherwise!

"How can I help you?" he asked in a daze.

"Coco is your dog?" asked Raelle without beating around the bush.

He nodded his head, "Yeah. Coco is my dog. But why are you asking?"

"You haven't been taking it out on a walk every morning these days," said Raelle.

"I caught a cold," he answered and wondered why he was telling this to a complete stranger? Even if the stranger was a hot and stunning lady, how could he answer all of her questions without even thinking? She had a scary power to make him answer like this.

"Oh," responded Raelle. "Then can I take your dog out on a walk? He must be feeling lonely these days staying indoors."

"Ah... Sure!" He agreed and slapped his face. "No, I mean I can't let you take Coco."

"Why not?"

"I don't even know who you are," he said matter-of-factly. "I can't possibly trust you with my dog."

"I shall introduce myself," she said. "Hi, I'm Raelle Xiang. I live on another lane. The reason why I want your dog is that my husband is quite fond of your pet and since he hasn't been able to meet Coco, he'd been feeling a bit down. So, I was wondering if you could let me borrow your dog?" She took the box of macaroons from the person behind her and offered it to him, "This is to show my gratitude for your help."

Lin Zhen gaped at her for a moment. He was speechless. He never thought someone could actually ask to borrow his dog in this way. She sounded so polite and respectful just now that he was almost touched. 

"Is this information enough for you?" she asked him. "If you still don't trust me..." She took out her phone and made a phone call.

"Yo, bestie! What's up?"

"Tell this person to give his dog to me," said Raelle and passed the phone to Lin Zhen who was still not following anything but he still ended up with her phone.

As he held the phone against his ear, he asked, "Who is it?"

"Huh?" Hyson was surprised. "Why is your voice so familiar?" Hyson thought about it and gasped, "Zhen Ge?"

"Fai?" Lin Zhen was taken aback as he stared at Raelle. "This woman is your..."

"Aiya! I can't believe this. Zhen Ge, just do as she is saying. You'll get your pet back, I promise."

"No, it's not about that," said Lin Zhen. "It's that I was sick in the last couple of days so I left Coco at the pet store. I was afraid that she'd catch germs and all."

"You can tell me about the pet store," said Raelle. "I can bring her back on my own. And I'll drop her off back as well."

Lin Zhen smiled at her words while he heard Hyson over the phone, "Yeah, let's do that then. And I'm so sorry for disturbing you Zhen Ge. You should have told me that you're sick. I'll come over to see you soon."

"There is no need for that, I'm much better now." After saying a couple of words to him, he gave the phone back to Raelle. "I'll give you the address of the pet store and I'll call them to let them know about you as well."

"Thank you!" said Raelle with as much sincerity as she could muster up in her indifferent voice. Which by the way was none!

As she was about to leave, he called out, "Wait! You're Xiao Fai's best friend he loves to talk about?"

"I am," she answered.

Lin Zhen nodded his head, "Got it. It's very nice meeting you."

Raelle gave him a nod and went away. Behind her, Lin Zhen tightened his blanket around him even more tightly. As he went back inside the room, he said, "Raelle Xiang... This name sounds familiar. I've recently heard it somewhere." Thinking of this, he found his phone and entered her name into a search engine, and as soon as he saw the details, he shook his head, "And Fai said he is a simple person. Do simple people have such best friends?"

In the end, none of them thought they would have this chance encounter. Raelle had recognized Lin Zhen almost instantly. After all, she knew every detail about the people Hyson worked with. How else would she be reassured to let that idiot hang around just anyone?

Hyson also didn't think he'd suddenly get a call from Raelle and he'd end up talking to Lin Zhen in the end.. This was such a strange coincidence that he got goosebumps.
