"Where did you go yesterday?"
Sarah looked at the man sitting in front of her who seemed to be enjoying her lunch. His demeanor seemed as if he didn't care about what he had just said. However, Sarah could see the curious look on the blonde-haired man's face.
"I have business outside. Why? I told you we're just friends Steve, you don't have to be that possessive. Possessive men are not sexy at all," Sarah replied and ate her sandwich.
Sarah really wanted to avoid Steve as much as possible, because after learning that Steve had feelings for her, and how things were with Michael, they'd better keep their distance first.
However, Steve didn't seem to give up and continued to look for her at lunchtime, making Sarah wonder if he wasn't busy.
In the end, Sarah gives in and allowed Steve to accompany her.
"Po-Possessive? What are you talking about! I'm not that kind of a man!" Steve said opening his eyes wide, surprised to hear Sarah's words to him.
He's not possessive, he's just curious!
Sarah just snorted at Steve's words and then went back to eating her lunch. However, suddenly Sarah's eyes caught a man wearing a white shirt standing looking for someone, the man immediately smiled when his eyes met Sarah's.
Sarah's face instantly hardened when she saw Michael walking towards her, her eyes subconsciously turned to Steve who was sitting with his back to Michael.
"Why? Why does your face look like that?" Steve asked confusedly when he saw Sarah's change in attitude, he then immediately looked back, to see what made Sarah look like that.
Steve was stunned. His mouth opened slightly when he saw the man walking towards them then casually pulling the empty chair next to Sarah and sitting there.
"Wi… Sarah, are you… Ahh… you're having lunch," Michael said when he saw Sarah's hand holding a sandwich.
He then turned his gaze to Steve who was sitting in front of Sarah. A polite smile soon crossed Michael's lips and a nod of his head, before finally looking at Sarah again.
"What are you doing here?" asked Sarah, who couldn't hide her surprise. She then turned her gaze to Steve, trying to find out if Steve knew Michael.
However, the expression on Steve's face that looked surprised was able to answer Sarah's question. Steve still remembers Michael!
"I came to bring lunch," Michael replied with a smile and then lifted the bag he was still holding.
"Ahh… you must be Michael? Sarah told me a lot about you," Steve said then stretched out his hand to shake Michael's. His tone was friendly, and there was a smile on his face.
Michael was a little surprised when he heard that. Sarah told her friend about him? A smile immediately appeared on his face then he immediately shook Steve's hand.
"I'm Steve, Sarah's friend. We used to be classmates and do clinical clerkship at Central Hospital," Steve added with a smile.
Michael nodded at that. He had been a little curious as to why his wife was having lunch with a man, but now it was clear, they were friends, and his wife had told that man about him too.
"Then, since your husband is already here, I'll go first," Steve said suddenly and stood up immediately.
Sarah became uncomfortable hearing that, Steve's words saying he was her friend, and greeting Michael as her husband with a smile on his face made Sarah's heart ache.
She knew Steve must be not feeling well right now and maybe feeling disappointed in her, but she also didn't know that Michael would suddenly come like this.
She hadn't lied to Steve, but it felt like she had lied to him.
"You haven't finished your food yet," Sarah said when she saw Steve's half sandwich on the table.
"Yes, you can join us," said Michael trying to invite Steve. It was the first time since he had an accident to meet Sarah's friends, so he wanted to get to know her friends.
"It's okay. I forgot that I had to write a patient report. I'll go first," Steve said then immediately turned around and left the two of them.
As soon as he turned around, the smile on Steve's lips disappeared immediately, the look in his eyes looked sad. He felt disappointed and betrayed?
He knew that Sarah turned him down, but she kissed him back!
Had Sarah been playing with him all this time? She is a married woman who wants to have fun with other men?
Steve shook his head, he better not assume anything about Sarah.
However, by this time Steve was completely shocked and too disappointed that he decided to leave.
Meanwhile, Sarah looked at Steve's back which was getting further and further away before finally disappearing from her sight. Her heart ached. Why did everything turn out like this?
"Wifey?" whispered Michael quietly. He didn't want to call Sarah by her name, but he knew that he and Sarah were currently in like a secret relationship?
"Wifey?" whispered Michael once more as he touched Sarah's hand.
Sarah flinched slightly when she felt someone touching her, her face then immediately turned to the person who touched her. Ah! She had forgotten that Michael was still here.
"What are you thinking?" Michael asked with furrowed brows when he saw the look on Sarah's face.
Sarah immediately shook her head, then smiled.
"Nothing. So you came to bring me lunch?" Sarah asked looking happy.
Michael's arrival this time was like a slap in the face for her, making Sarah finally realize that she can't always hide what she was doing.
She couldn't stop Michael from coming to her workplace because she couldn't think of a good reason. After all, despite having amnesia and memory loss for the past five years, Michael is a smart guy. The reason would definitely not sound logical to the man.
So, she better hurry up with her plan to make Michael fall in love with her. That was all she could do at the moment.
Michael smiled at his wife's face. As expected, Sarah would be delighted to see him come.
"Yeah, but you seem to have eaten lunch," said Michael who couldn't hide the sad expression on his face. If only the meeting had finished sooner, he might have come earlier and Sarah wouldn't have had to eat lunch first.
He knew it was his fault for not telling Sarah about his arrival, but still, Michael couldn't hide his disappointment.
"But it looks like your food tastes better than this sandwich. Where did you buy the lunch?" Sarah asked then looked curiously at Michael's bag.
"I brought it from the Collins cafeteria. Is that enough to make you have lunch with me?" Michael asked looking at Sarah with a smile.
Sarah's lips formed a smile. "Of course, let's eat in my room."
