"Are you still craving for more?" The strange man with the dimpled cheeks continued to ask her as he got some more mussels to unbeard.

Hesitating, she glanced at Erin who still has no idea what is taking place. Erin responded by blinking her eyes animatedly at a rapid rate, motioning her to accept his offer.

Zoe winced back at her. She does not like what she is experiencing, and she doesn't want it to linger on. However, Erin has a contrasting scheme in mind. She gave her the evil eye as she spoke to Raigon.

"Please, please. With all means," She chattered on to him, giving him the signal to push through with his gentlemanly act.

Raigon nodded in obedience as he cleaned more mussels for Zoe to eat.

"I remembered what Zoe told me in the old days. That if ever she will be given a chance to settle in an exclusive place her entire life, she wanted it to be near the ocean. So she could devour all the sea animals that she wants." Erin gossiped on Zoe with a cupped hand as if she was not visible to the naked eye.

"Really?" Raigon chuckled and glimpsed at Zoe with a twinkle in his eyes. 'Live with me and I will give you the perfect taste of seafood at its finest all the days of your life.' He whispered under his breath.

As if she understood what that stare meant, her face turned beetle red as if it just came out from a heated oven. Not knowing what to do, she blamed her friend who is provoking him to be that way.

"Erin!!!" She glared at her with flared nostrils.

Raigon bit his lips to hide a smile as he focused on carefully removing the furry patches from the mussels. He doesn't want her queen to have indigestion because of these insignificant creatures.

"What? It's true." Erin shrugged as if she did nothing wrong and Zoe is just acting up.  "I'm sure you're in heaven right now for having time to enjoy these delicacies on this lovely isle."

Zoe agreed on her on that part. She is indeed having fun being in this exquisite spot and enjoying her favorite food. "Yeah, I'm really glad that I had this time off. Thanks, Erin." She said as she clasped her forearm.

"So you're only having a vacation on this island?" Raigon furrowed his eyebrows and rubbed his chin. "How long will you be here?"

"We're just waiting for the reunion which would be held here. After that, we'll probably be heading back to our country. So that will be..." Zoe then consulted Zoe, asking her for help. She didn't know the exact date of the event.

"One more week left." Erin reacted in response to her.

Raigon's shoulder stooped as he answered, "I see," with a flat and monotone voice.

Gloom replaced his enthusiasm upon hearing that information. He heaved out a deep sigh as he glanced away to distract himself.

As Raigon continued to scan the room, his attentive eyes detected a shadow. He was watching them in secret behind the gla.s.s walls. At that angle, he could see that he was wearing a black jacket with casual jeans and a lowered cap to cover his face.

Raigon s.h.i.+fted his gaze away in lightning speed so he would not pick on. He stood up in an easygoing manner as not to arouse suspicion to whoever is snooping on them.

Then he gave Zoe and Erin one of his beguiling smiles.

"Excuse me for a minute, miladies." He bowed to them and walk in a leisure pace to the back exit of the restaurant.

At the speed of light, he routed to where the scout is as he located him earlier when he was inside the restaurant. But when he got there, he was nowhere to be seen. Not even a trace was left behind.

He searched the area hoping he could catch him but he already vanished into thin air. 'Is he from Terra or this land? What could be his motive? Is he spying on me or Zoe? Is he intending to harm her?' He gritted his teeth and clenched his hand as he returned to his seat.

"I thought you're not coming back," Zoe stuttered as she explained herself with wide eyes. She froze from wiping her lips with the table napkin.

She looked like a thief caught in the act. The kitchen utensils in front of her were as clean as before they placed the food in them.

"Yeah, it took you a while there," Erin agreed, at this point she was on her friend's side.

They were exchanging guilty glances when Raigon waved his hands in the air. He shooed away the negative atmosphere.

"No worries, miladies. I am full and I'm here to enjoy the scenic view with a coffee."

"But I hope that you know," He added with a pause. He then stared at Zoe with the sincerest intentions before ending his sentence. "I will always come back".

As soon as he left those words, in the corner of his eyes he saw the man appeared again in the same position he was in a while ago. He was like a ghost playing with him. This time, he bolted out of the door in a twinkle of an eye.

Zoe and Erin exchanged surprised looks and blurted out at the same time, "What was that?!"
