บท 159: Childhood bestfriend

"Childhood friend? Didn't that little girl, Betty, say you don't have any male friends?" he questioned. 

"Hmm… well, I don't have any contact with him anymore. I haven't seen him for many years now. So I guess, we're not really friends anymore," she replied, looking a bit nostalgic as she stared at the man's face. "This guy here and I grew up together. We even have the same dream back then. We wanted to become stars. When we were seventeen, we both planned to go for an important audition. We promised to reach our dream together. But I ended up not going to the audition…" she paused. "So, as expected, he passed the audition and since then, I never saw him again because we also moved out of the city after that." 

Alex watched her intently as she told him that story. It seemed that this was the boy he saw in many of her pictures at their house.
