Interrogation

"So, how did you two know each other?" asked Shin Tong as she snuggled in Darren's embrace.

Looking at Kira's uncomfortable appearance Shin Tong merely laugh and said, "Oh, I forgot to ask if you wanted to drink anything?" but she made no gesture of getting up to prepare drinks.

"Em, it's alright I have eaten lunch before coming over. We knew each other from the orphanage," Kira answered. Initially she wanted to ask the two if they had lunch but decided against it as she has a feeling their answer might cause her to vomit blood, thinking about the hickey peeking out of Shin Tong blouse.

"So, you two have been together long?" asked Kira.

"Long enough," answered Darren making it impossible for her to ask further.

"I called your office, they mentioned you were out for lunch, I remember Ben mentioned you stayed here, I tried my luck and didn't think I was lucky to get to meet you at home," she explained.

"I brought over Shin Shin to decide if she wants to renovate anything before she moves in," said Darren.

Shin Tong wanted to applaud this man for being able to lie through his teeth with such smoothness. His performance is definitely great, she may need to reward this man.

"Ah, I see. Ren, I am happy you found someone, I didn't think you'd move on," said Kira ambiguously.

"Life goes on, good things comes to those who believe better things come to those who are patient and the best thing come to those who don't give up," Darren said.

"Shin Tong was someone I initially felt hard to reach but I am glad I persevere and did not give up. Now I have the best, isn't this great?" he continued to speak while nuzzling his face into Shin Tong's neck.

Shin Tong blushed hearing his words. This man, the more and more she spent time with him, the more she realised there is no way anyone else is compatible with her.

"He is such a sweet talker, was he like this as well at the orphanage? Xin Xin only mentioned he had a cold personality, only after we dated I found he had this side of him which I feel is truly adorable." said Shin Tong lightly.

"He was reserved and quiet most time, but he is kind and willing to help me out each time I face difficulties," said Kira trying to sow discord.

In her heart she knew, her task is too impossible, this Darren, is no longer the same one years back where she was his priority.

"Yes, he is kind and sweet, if he wasn't I would not have fallen for him either," cooed Shin Tong.

Darren felt each words were aimed at him and later he have some explanation to do but to Kira, she knows Shin Tong is sending out a message to her that it doesn't matter if he was nice to her back then because now, it is Shin Tong that own his heart now.

Kira felt it was unbearable to stay on plus the couple also did not intend to torture her further, hence they chased her away with the excuse they have to get back to work. Kira just stared at the car that just sped off, she wasn't even offered a ride to her next destination.

She took her phone out and dialed a number and spoke the moment the other person spoke, "I am sorry, it seems we need a different approach, his relationship is deep with her."

The voice replied, "I saved you so that you be of use, I don't care how you get it done!" and then there was just silence, which means the person had ended the call.

The deal was for her to worm her way into Darren's heart till he trusted her so that she can report on Ji Yu's activities back to the person. Now, she is clueless on how to go about it. She doesn't want to go back to hell. She had to make a deal with the devil in order to get out of hell.

With a dejected heart, she dragged her suitcase into the taxi she flagged down.

The atmosphere in the car was tense and before Darren could speak a word, Shin Tong was the one who spoke up first, "I hate it when I'm being lied to."

"I have never lied to you," he answered quietly.

"You told me I am your first girl, who the heck was that woman, she even called you Ren," glared Shin Tong at Darren, she made sure to observe his every facial expression not to miss any microexpression.

"You are my first girlfriend, she was someone I used to have a crush on, she never had any interest in me and the feelings died the day she left," he answered truthfully.

"Your feelings must have been deep for her to have the confidence to waltz in and think she can have you anytime," said Shin Tong coldly.

"It was but as I said it died the day she left. If it wasn't for my surprise visit to the airport the day she left, I might have still held on my feelings," he said solemnly not bothering to explain further.

"Let me tell you this, I will never tolerate an affair or infidelity, I won't hesitate to walk off, just to let you know, to make it clear," she warned him while eyeing his reaction.

A smile bloomed on his face when he replied, "Silly, you are already a handful, why would I be so silly to get entangled with another, what if she is just like you, too, double trouble and headache. No thank you," he said jokingly.

"You!"

Seeing her all riled up, he pinched her nose and lifted her chin up for a passionate kiss with his hand creeping up her bosom. A horn from behind disrupted their moment as the traffic light had already turned green.

Shin Tong blushed as she straightened her blouse back. If it wasn't for Kira turning up, would she have already lost her virginity?

"My fiancee, why don't after work we go and pick out a ring, and meet an interior designer to renovate my apartment, when do you plan on moving in?" asked Darren lovingly.

"Whaat? We were just acting just now! You. You need to meet my parents," she spoke in a hurry.

"I did, your mother asked me when can I take you home?" he said while laughing out loud. He could recall how his future mother in law reminded him to have patience dealing with her daughter and the faster she marries off the better.

Shin Tong could actually imagine her mother selling her off and her father being supportive of it. She lowered her head shyly and inside her heart is bursting with joy.
