"I will go and see how the other models are doing. You better not call my boyfriend so intimately or I give you a good thrashing'' Calia said and walked away with Kobby.

Marvel who was standing aside couldn't help but chuckle. Rihan looked at her with eyes that resembled daggers and Marvel stepped back saying to her ''I will take my leave now, since you are doing well and Calia is already here. Bye'' Marvel walked away fast after saying that. she heard Rihan's screamed behind her and went away quickly.

OUT-PATIENT'S DEPARTMENT.

Marvel got to the out-patient's department and saw a young man carrying a girl that wore a high school uniform. The girl's leg was bleeding as he ran with her towards the emergency room. Marvel looked at the girl and saw that she was in pain. Suddenly, it seemed their positions had been changed. She saw the young girl as herself being carried on the back of a young man running towards the emergency room. The young man turned and she saw his face. His face merged with the face of someone she knew and she subconsciously murmured.

''Max Denarius?''

Marvel seemed to have recollected something as she absentmindedly followed the young man and the school girl. It really looked like she was watching herself and she couldn't tear herself from the image and memory which didn't exist in her memory before.

Marvel stopped in front of the emergency ward again and watched as the doctor and two nurses attended to the hurt girl.

''Senior, won't you be late for your girlfriend's birthday party by been here with me?''

''No, I called her and she said I should make sure you are doing alright before I leave''

''She is so kind. Big brother, I want to meet and marry someone like you when I grow up''

''You are still in high school. Don't think about such things and concentrate on your studies, little girl''

''I am not little. I am already 18 years this year'' the girl said and a flash of innocence. The young man tussled and messed with the girl's hair.

''18 is still young. I have a brother and a cousin who are also your age''

''Really? I hope they are as nice as you?''

''They are nice as me. in fact, I think you and my cousin will be good friends if you ever meet. Your temperaments are almost the same''

''How do you know that? You've only seen me for three times today''

''Three times. Don't you know? If you meet someone for three consecutive times in the same day then, it becomes a destined meeting. We met in the morning twice at the café and this evening when you got hurt and I brought you here''

''Big brother, what is your name?'' the girl asked.

''My name? Why do you want to know my name?'' the young man asked and looked at the girl's curious gaze.

''I want to know your name so that I will call you by it when we meet again. Wait, why don't you leave me your number? My uncle will be here soon. When I get discharged, I will go and find you'' the girl said.

''My name is…''

Marvel who was still zoned out mentioned the name at the same time with the young man.

''Max Denarius''

Marvel still fixed her gaze at the memory in her head as tears trimmed down her face.

''Max Denarius. Okay, now give me your number'' the girl said and her uncle arrived hastily at that moment. He was perspiring as he stood in front of them.

''Uncle, you are here?'' the girl said and looked at her uncle affectionately.

''Marvel, what happened to you? Are you alright? Where did you get hurt?'' the middle aged man asked worriedly as he sized his niece's body up. He looked haggard and smelt of concrete.

''Uncle, relax. I am fine. This big brother brought me to the hospital and even paid for the medical bills'' the girl said and her uncle turned and looked at the young man.

''You are the one who saved my niece? Thank you so much'' the middle aged man said. He stretched his hand to shake the young man's hand but retreated back after looking at his wrinkled hand. The young man smiled and took his hand and shook it.

''Your niece is a nice kid'' the young man said.

''That's because my uncle is nice. Uncle, were you at the construction site just now? I'm sorry, I made you leave your work. Will they accept you again when you return?'' the girl asked.

''I will just look for another work to do. Your health is of great concern to me'' her uncle said.

''Do you work at a construction site?'' the young man asked.

''Yes, no one wants to hire an ex-convict like me but I can't let my niece down. she is such a brilliant girl who always scores first place in her school. I have to make sure she has a good future'' her uncle said and touched the girl's shoulder affectionately.

''Here is my card, call me tomorrow. I still have something to do, so I will leave since you are here. Little girl, make sure you are obedient to your uncle, okay?'' the young man said and left after giving his card to the middle aged man.

''Big brother bye bye'' the girl waved at the young man as he walked away.

Coming back to her senses, Marvel found a seat at the out-patient's department and sat down weeping. All the memories that were hidden in her head came rushing out and she felt pain. She sobbed for a long time before she stood up and ran out of the hospital.

She hailed a taxi and told him the address to her apartment. As she sat at the backseat, she reminisced on the first time she saw Max at the Saint hotel. How he saved her from falling. The memory of how she left his house came to mind and she cussed herself.

''do you really not remember me?'' the voice that spoke came to mind.

Marvel's apartment.

Marvel got down from her apartment and got down. she ran into the apartment and found her uncle watching TV. She was now panting heavily and her uncle asked worriedly.

''Marvel, what's wrong?''

''Uncle, do you remember the man who save me a few years ago? Back when I was in high school?'' Marvel asked as she snatched the glass of water from her uncle's hand and drunk.

''Yes, I remember. Why? Don't you know who is he? Thanks to you I even got a job at the company. He is Max Denarius. The current chairman of our company''

':Uncle, why didn't you ever tell me about this?'' Marvel asked.

''I did. Don't you remember? I asked you that year about him but you seemed not to care about it, so I brushed it off. Oh, yes, I remember. That was the same time you started dating that rascal Jones''

''Jones?'' Marvel remembered him. He was the most popular boy in their school at that time and she was also a sucker for handsome men. She was totally smitten with him and followed him everywhere. That time, she was so foolish and did whatever she wanted. It was still a miracle that her uncle didn't give up on her back then and still took care of her. She was an orphan who lost both of her parents to a fire outbreak.

Back then, after the death of her parents, she had no one to take care of her and that was the same time her uncle received amnesty from the government and was given special release from prison for reformed prisoners. Her uncle took her in and cared for her since then.

''What is wrong?'' her uncle asked.

''Uncle, do you remember my boss? The lady I work with?''contemporary romance

''Yes, Miss Banks. She is the cousin of our chairman''

''You even knew that? Why am I the only one who didn't know anything?''

''Marvel, are you alright?'' her uncle asked and just then they showed news of her uncle standing next to Max Denarius. Her uncle ignored her and focused on the screen ''this is the moment I was waiting for. Look, that is our chairman and me. Marvel, don't you find uncle especially handsome standing next to such a powerful man?'' he asked proudly.

Marvel turned and watched the news. Indeed, the young man in her memory overlapped with the face of the man on the screen. How could she have forgotten of something so significant in her life? She really wanted to curse herself for having such a poor memory.

"Uncle, I will be back soon. There is somewhere I need to go'' Marvel said and rushed out the same way she came. She didn't even remember she was still in her pyjamas and rushed out. Her uncle was surprised but didn't think too much into it. He went back to admiring himself on the television screen.

It soon started raining and her uncle turned and looked at the umbrella that hanged at the door and sighed. He shook his head and murmured ''I wonder what goes on in this silly woman's mind. She still behaves like a teenager. Looks like I have to prepare some ginger drink for her when she returns''
