Lily gulped, it's the 'devil'. She said in her mind with her hands still trembling.

Raven picked the phone from the girl's hand, turning it off, he said, "You don't want to do that. Now run along and forget everything that happened here, little girl." His voice low and chilly to the bone.

Sunshine Meets Grumpy

He's a hitman, a hacker, a serpent slithering through the city's underbelly. Not a hero, not even close. The mafia's ghost in the machine, shadows his only companions.

Then, there's her. Bookish, buried in debt and dreams, juggling endless shifts and late-night study sessions. Sunflower yellow amidst the grimy alleys, oblivious to the danger lurking beneath her hopeful smile. "Plain," they call her, "basic." But her light, it's undeniable.

One fated night, a muttered curse, a stolen glance. Their worlds, oil and water, are destined to collide. Can sunshine melt the frost around a killer's heart? Or will their tangled destinies ignite a storm that consumes them both?

By noon, Lily had already finished her last paper. She sat down with Maya in the cafeteria after ordering a burger and coke for lunch. Lily, for some reason, wasn't able to relax on her chair or even eat her food peacefully.

"Are you okay?" Maya asked, noticing the look on Lily's face, which was one of restlessness.

Lily nodded, trying to shake off her worry. But at the moment, she was bothered about everything, especially the look of unease on Raven's face before he left.

"Maya, I'm fine. Just a little worried about My Master and Old bat," Lily finally said.

Maya gave her a small look, "You're back to 'My Master'; you called his name without a title earlier," she chimed.

Lily furrowed her brows, "I did? Oh..." She trailed off when she remembered she had called his name casually.

A LONG DAY AHEAD
