Chapter 34: Don't be like that
Yoko only turned back to get something she forgot, but unexpectedly saw Faye walking in the opposite direction. Thinking about what Nam said about Faye being targeted by someone else, Yoko curiously followed to take a look, but unexpectedly saw something she shouldn't have seen.
It took Faye a little time to calm the little girl down. After that, Faye took her home and then returned to Amor to take care of some work before going to the appointment with Nam.
As for what Hanna said, Faye didn't believe it at all. Most of it was probably false information. But the content about there being a man who wanted to harm Yoko and Hanna only playing a supporting role in this, could be highly referenced.
Who could that man be, a crazy fan, an old enemy, an old lover... Who would be capable of doing such things?
Not to mention that according to Bella's words, other than Yoko, he was also targeting Faye. Faye questioned herself, she had never made such an enemy of any man.
At 9 o'clock that night, Faye came to see Nam. He must have something to say so Nam chose a corner farthest from the stage and with the least noise.
As soon as she saw Faye approaching, Nam got used to standing up and hugging her. But this time Faye dodged.
"Forgot to light of the lamp when you saw the moon." Nam was hurt and joked. It was hard to give up, so Nam had to sit down next to Faye and put her arm around her shoulder.
When she sat down, Faye noticed that there was another girl next to Nam. Her face was very pretty but because she didn't wear any makeup, it gave her a wild feeling and she was wearing a black outfit with a jean jacket on the outside, so she really looked like an undercover cop in the movies that were playing.
"Let me introduce you to Faye, this is Thien." Nam said briefly, "She is...how to say it without sounding like a crime movie...Thien is a detective."
Thien looked at Faye and nodded. Seeing that, Faye also greeted back.
The name Thien is because her origin is from another country. She was born abroad, but worked and studied in this country. Thien's major is law and she also joined the army, but because it was not suitable, she found another direction. Since then, Thien has worked in the service sector, handling issues such as security, detective, investigation, working with the government and law enforcement agencies. Through Dr. Tan, Nam has known Thien for a long time, now she has the opportunity to contact
"Hello Faye. These are the images that I have been following Bella for the past time. And these are the CCTV images of Bella and Hanna on the day of the game show." Thien immediately went straight to the main point.
The music at the bar was lighter than usual today, so even though the surrounding atmosphere was still noisy, it couldn't distract the three of them. Faye looked at the pictures Thien sent, frowning.
Thien was very professional, clearly categorizing the important images and analyzing the situation. When Bella finished taking pictures and Faye's pictures filled up her phone, Bella put it in a locker. A man came and copied the data, then left. This was the same man who had met Hanna earlier and said something.
Combined with what Hanna said, there really was a man behind all this. There was a photo of Thien zooming in very close to his face. Faye looked closely and almost filtered her memory.
She doesn't know who this is.
"I don't know what the suspect said to Hanna. And the fact that he only backed up the images without deleting them is also very suspicious. It's as if this person wanted to leave a clue for us to know that Faye was being followed. And the angle of this locker, is right where the camera hit..." Thien was very professional, analyzing the problem.
Faye told Thien and Nam about what Hanna said this afternoon.
Putting the events and the time together, it is possible that Hanna did just follow that man's request, and chose Yoko to participate in the final round even though she knew Yoko's health was not good at that time.
"It seems like this person really wants to be found, so he left behind clues. This is like an introduction by someone who likes to play the game cat and mouse. However, he is very smart and secretive, so even if we know his face, there is no more information to continue searching. Unless..." Thien hesitated.
"Unless what?"
"Unless he tries to harm you two again. But then we're on the back foot."
"And Bella, how is she doing?" Faye asked curiously.
Thien smiled, a funny smile because she found this an interesting case: "Bella is doing very well. Happy, found a new job. It's like two completely different people compared to the last time she met you and Nam, and nothing has ever happened to cause her to be fired."
Faye and Nam looked at each other, really stuck, that was what they were thinking. Now they couldn't just hang around waiting for someone to come and harm them. So Faye could only wait, trying to be as careful as possible and waiting for anything else to happen. That was very passive.
They both said goodbye to Thien and asked her to try to investigate further if there was any information.
Thien also said goodbye and left. But when she stood up, she saw a familiar face looking at her from the upper floor of the bar. This gaze had been following her and Faye's table from the beginning until now. Thien smiled and quietly went upstairs to chat with that person.
As soon as Thien left, Faye also attentively sipped her whiskey, sighing. She felt so useless.
"Don't blame yourself." Nam understood her friend too well. "Even a professional like Thien couldn't investigate any further. This proves that you and Yoko hit the nail on the head this time, it's not normal."
"I have been performing for so many years, but this is the first time I have encountered this. It is so confusing and different from the usual petty arguments of the entertainment industry."
If it all ended with Hanna, with Hanna doing it all, it would be easier to explain.
Nam also took a sip of her martini, exhaling the hot breath of alcohol and inhaling the cold air of the bar.
"You're obviously more nervous than usual since this involves Yoko."
Faye was quiet. Lately, things related to Yoko often made her quiet and think. The movie had just finished filming and had not even started airing yet, but there were already problems. Faye was really worried that something big would happen.
"I'm just worried."
Nam looked closely at her friend. Because of her beauty and personal charm, this person always had many people surrounding her. From childhood to adulthood, it was always like that, sometimes not just one but many people appeared at the same time. But Faye was mostly receptive, rarely taking the initiative. Except for her first love, who Faye took the initiative, but after that, it didn't work out even though they spent a long time together.
"Do you remember your first love?" Nam suddenly asked something unrelated.
Faye was confused, why was she mentioned now, turned to look at Nam: "What about her?"
"That year, I told you, she often looked at you. After that, you started to pay attention to her and pursued her. Remember?" Nam recalled that old story.
Faye laughed, thinking back to the past now felt very happy: "I remember, you kept saying she was looking at me. That's why I looked back."
"Eyes don't lie, Faye. Yoko is looking at you the same way right now." Nam took another martini, unable to help but speak directly to her best friend.
Hearing that, Faye's heart skipped a beat. Then, very gently, as if nothing had happened, Faye Peraya calmly shook her head: "No, it's just a misunderstanding."
This time it was Nam who laughed. Her friend always avoided these emotional issues very well: "It's better if you don't realize it..."
Faye still stubbornly denied: "No, she doesn't like me."
"... Don't see it clearly, but choose to ignore it. That would be cruel to her."
Nam is truly Faye's best friend, every word he says hits the nail on the head. Faye can't refute it.
That night, Nam and Faye played until late at night, probably for some personal reason, both of them drank very enthusiastically. They were so drunk that Faye responded to the atmosphere of the bar and went up on the stage to sing several times. This light music bar night was very suitable for Faye. According to the style of this country, if you sing well and are loved by everyone, you will be given money by the audience. After only a few times on stage, Faye collected a lot of money and flowers.
Nam sat under the table watching Faye laughing and singing happily, then looked up to the upper floor of the bar.
'This girl is so patient.' Nam thought to herself .
From the beginning, Yoko sat at the table upstairs and watched Faye for hours. Nam had seen her for a long time. But she really wanted to see how patient Yoko could be so she didn't say anything to Faye. Unexpectedly, Yoko simply sat there drinking beer and watching Faye playing down here.
Such a young girl but her endurance is really good. Not hot-tempered, not impulsive, patiently following the person she likes. As for the person she likes, shines like a star in the night. Brilliant but distant and cold.
When Faye finished the song and returned to the table, she saw Nam smiling at her.
"Happy?"
"It was fun, I haven't played this enthusiastically in a long time." Faye said with a smile, but seeing her friend's eyes looking at her, Faye was confused: "What's wrong?"
Nam acted mysterious, drank more wine and slowly said: "There is a very beautiful girl, sitting upstairs drinking hot German beer and has been looking at you for hours. Do you think she is silly or not?"
Nam said while pointing to where Yoko was sitting.
Faye jumped, turned around but saw no one in that position anymore. She stood up and headed towards the stairs to the upper floor.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
When Faye went to Yoko's table, she only saw a few empty beer bottles but she was nowhere to be seen. It seemed like she had drunk a lot, even if she had not drunk as much as Faye, it still made her worried. Faye swayed slightly and ran to the main door to look for her.
When Faye walked out of the bar, she looked around. There were so many people on the street that she couldn't see clearly. Plus, Faye was also drunk, so it was very difficult for her to find someone. Faye frowned in worry and took a wrong step onto the road.
"Careful!" Suddenly a hand reached out from the crowd and pulled her back to the sidewalk.
Faye turned around to see Yoko holding her arm, her face also red from alcohol.
Seeing Yoko's worried gaze on her, Faye smiled happily.
"Found you."
Faye then pulled Yoko into a hidden corner in front of the bar, shielding both of them from the other customers coming and going.
Yoko really didn't know what to say to this person. When she took a step forward, Faye took a step back. When she took a step back, just looking at her from afar, Faye came closer to her.
What should I do?
"You're drunk!" Yoko whispered.
Faye laughed happily again, the alcohol made her suddenly very cute and carefree. Faye raised her hand to caress Yoko's face, because of the height difference, she bent down slightly to look straight into her eyes. Faye's body was filled with the smell of alcohol and her inherent seductive perfume, giving off a unique feminine scent that attracted others. Even though Faye's eyes were red from alcohol, they were filled with smiles, but there was something very provocative, very teasing about the person opposite.
"Don't be like that." Yoko looked away, not wanting to look directly at Faye's face right now.
"What if not?"
Faye unconsciously grabbed Yoko's chin, forcing her to look straight into her eyes. God knows, Faye Peraya was a different person when drunk. Beautiful, charming, domineering, and a little cruel.
Yoko has never been the simple girl she appears to be. Right now, she really wants to push this woman against the wall in retaliation, kiss her deeply and bite her lips to stop this provocation. But, Yoko closed her eyes for two seconds, then opened them again immediately. She gently caressed Faye's face instead of pushing her away.
Faye was drunk, her mouth was smiling but her eyes were full of seduction and stubbornness that would not allow anyone to disobey her. Faye grabbed Yoko's hand so she could hug her neck, while Faye hugged her waist.
"Can we not think too much?" Faye suddenly felt like she didn't want to think about what Nam or her brother had said, nor did she want to find out what she was really thinking. She hugged her partner, just wanting to rub against her.
Yoko sighed, what the hell were they playing at?
