166 Warning (1/2)

Chris' eyes immediately flew to the man sitting next to Abi, holding her hand and he was again, shocked.

This man, he recognised him. There was no way he could ever forget that face. This guy was the cause of one of his co-actor's suicide just a year ago. Dianne Xin was an award winning actress and she was Chris' female counterpart. They acted alongside each other since they were still newbies and became close friends. That was how Chris knew about this mysterious man. He had seen how Dianne became crazy for him. He knew he couldn't put all the blame on this man but he had seen how heartless this man was towards his friend. He was a man without empathy or even a little care. If he showed even a little care for Dianne, maybe, she would still be alive right now. But he was inhuman, someone without any emotion, and above all, he was simply a shady character and the epitome of danger. And now, he was actually here and even calling Abi his girl?!

Chris looked at Abi with wide eyes filled with questions.

”Abi, what is he talking about?” he asked her.

”Uhm… this is Alex, Chris. He's my boyfriend.” Abi introduced and Chris's lips could only part in disbelief. ”Let's take a seat please. We can't disturb the others. Also, please cover your face, Chris. People might recognize you and then you'd be done for!” Abi whispered before she sat down and pulled him down with her. ”Let's finish the movie first and talk later. It's about to end anyway.” She smiled at him and Chris could only sit again, with a million thoughts and questions running through his mind.

It was then that Alex suddenly wrapped his arm around Abi's shoulder and pulled her closer to him, acting like a possessive boyfriend. His lips were touching Abi's ear as he spoke.

”Didn't you say you two aren't friends anymore? Why do you still want to talk to him? Huh? Abigail?” Alex whispered. Abi turned to look at him and saw the sharp glares in his eyes as he glanced at Chris.

She tilted her head slightly as she blinked at him. ”Alex, are you jealous?” she asked but a second later, she just grinned at him. ”Kidding, hehe. If you keep acting like that, I would think you're jealous, you know?” she teased. ”Even though we were separated for many years, he's still the best friend I had who had been with me since I was young so, of course, I would still want to talk to him,” she explained.

Alex stared at her and the next second, he let go of her and quietly leaned his face on his knuckles. He focused his eyes on the screen but his mind was absolutely not on the movie at all. He almost looked like he was sulking like a little child who didn't get his way.

Seeing that Alex seemed to have understood her point, Abi turned to Chris, but Chris was also focused on the screen. Although, like Alex, his mind didn't seem to be focused on the movie either. He also seemed to be thinking about something complicated.

Abi decided to focus on the movie until the end. She stretched her arm and then reached out to hold Alex's hand. The man just glanced at her for a split second.

”Ah, that was nice. Even though I've read the book many times, it still makes me emotional,” Abi said after the movie ended. She turned to Chris and her eyes sparkled. ”You're amazing Chris! Your acting skills are really great!” she praised him sincerely. She always knew that Chris was born to be an actor and she was the first to encourage him to pursue acting.
