Chương 3: Chapter 3: Reply

(Errrr.... hmmm... uhmm...)

Lisa.exe has stopped working... and is now turning red. *Hears more alarm sirens in her head after she turned off her kettle*

(Ok, ok, nope, no, it's fine. *breaths in* This is fine. Sexy Voice a.k.a hot sexy rando a.k.a HSR just wanted to check if I was ok... *thinks back on the night before and exhales Loud!* OMG WHAT ELSE HAS HE HEARD?!)

Eyes wide open Lisa went through her call history and breathed a sigh of relief at the length of the phone call; it was short. She remembered that she had left her phone in her purse after that "embarrassing" moment, so she felt a huge relief.

The teasing and the make belief scenarios towards the end of the night, just because that was the first time her work friends heard her say someone was sexy, things had escalated to such R-18 levels that she had realised that there are still certain things a person can be sorry to know at a mature age of 33. She kinda wished she was still drinking at the time, those perverted ingrates!

Lisa Flynn likes to be professional at work, which was drilled into her at a young age. But she's also known to look younger than she is, thanks to her Asian heritage from her mother's side and her mother was The Law of the household so she's learned to be proper and polite, most of the time. So people at work would either think she's too young and innocent at best or she's a stuck up snob at worst.

She had a sheltered youth, but that doesn't mean she's the type to keep herself ignorant. She did not even bother asking her parents about The Talk on the origin of tiny humans, which she thinks was a relief for her parents. She just read or learned more about it through movies or books, which was better than that one awkward class at school back in high school.

She's read and still reads a lot of romance stories, from mangas online, where weird ads would show up and she had accidentally clicked on one of them... let's just say that was the end of her innocent eyes at the tender age of 15, to borrowed library books that had the adult shades of off-black kind of scenes, she had thought she was pretty knowledgeable about the mating ritual and what's involved, until last night...

(*mentally shakes herself* eew, let's not think about those things anymore...) She realised her workmates hardly work and party hard! Should be be 'work hard, party hard', which her heart wants to do while her body, well... She will definitely have to cut back on partying with them... or will she? (Nope, no, nope, ok, happy thoughts, happy innocent thoughts... oh yeah, my coffee!)

She started her morning breakfast ritual and forgot about the HSR = 'hot sexy rando' message. Well, almost.

She picked up her phone again and of course his message was the first thing she saw as soon as she unlocked her phone.

(Ah, crap! *sigh* ok, I mean, yeah, he's just being nice, right? It's only polite to reply back. Hmm... ok)

She starts typing...

"Lol yeah, I'm alive and well. Thanks for asking😁 the 'fools' have been taken care of... hahaha not in a serial killer kind of way...😏 lol but hey you should not be eavesdropping Mr Busybody! Also really sorry about that😅 I hope I didn't disturb you that late last night. You have a good day! Err... sorry if I woke you up tho😅" (and send! Well, that's my social obligation out of the way. Now Saturday what shall we do on your day? Whoa!

It's already 8:30, I didn't realise I slept in that long!)

Lisa tends to get over things quite quickly.

Meanwhile, in the natural habitat of one Mr Warren Mori, he is dead to the world.

Being a night owl, or possibly a vampire, makes him so sleepy and lethargic in the morning hours and quite productive and mentally active in the night time.

Knowing this early on in his life he was able to exploit his own strengths and manage his weaknesses to create and build his own highly successful gaming empire by a young age of 20.

Even though he had the help of his parents to make his first big step in to the gaming industry, it was his own genius that made his company prosper and be widely popular around the world for the last 10 years.

So he basically can do whatever the flip he wants, since he is the big head honcho of his own company.

An hour later, Warren thought he heard his phone message buzz. (Oh yeah, that girl from last night...) The phone message buzz was an hour ago.

He starts typing half-asleep...

"Good alive. No worries. Haha serial killer. Wiatwhat?! But you sexy-cute voice was just there! I like and NoNot Mr Bisbdy it Mr Hot Sexy Rando or War. It's alright me night owl 🦉 yeah woke"

He pressed send and he saw the time. (9:30! Too early, 5mormin...zzzZzzz) and he went back to sleep.

Author's Note:

- Lisa definitely accidentally stumbled on porn. She was a prude. Hahaha thought I should point that out😏

- Warren or War's message is definitely a hodgepodge of spelling and grammar mistakes because he does not function well until after 10-11am. With coffee.
