She texted Felix, just a casual check-in to see if he’d had dinner and what he was up to.
But Felix’s replies were curt, almost disinterested.
The less he showed interest, the more Carol found herself intrigued.
She was not one for men who came on too strong, always suspecting ulterior motives. But Felix's restraint only stoked Carol’s desire to win him over.
Without delay, Carol had someone check out the barbecue restaurant where Felix worked and planned a “chance” encounter.
Felix, however, was a creature of habit, working four jobs every day, heading straight home afterward, rarely venturing out except for a weekly grocery run. His routine was alarmingly regular compared to Carol’s. Even her father, Abner, wasn’t as industrious as Felix.
Other than work, he scarcely indulged in any leisure, perpetually in a state of earning.
How were they ever going to meet at this rate?
The moment was slipping away.
Impatient, Carol dragged Yolanda with her to the barbecue restaurant where Felix worked.
Before they entered, Carol gave strict instructions.
“Don't reveal my identity. Remember to order plenty of drinks.”
She went over her script multiple times with Yolanda, who was feeling a headache coming on.
“Carol, are we going to con someone?”
“It’s not conning when it’s about love,” Carol retorted.
Yolanda fell silent, and they took their seats as the dishes began to arrive.
Felix wasn't the one serving them this time, much to Carol's disappointment.
After a two-hour wait, just as Carol was about to give up, she spotted Felix by another booth, in what seemed like an altercation. The leader of the group splashed a drink on him, drenching his hair.

Why are there no updates yet, Author. We've all been waitibg for quite a while now. Please, update soon, Author. Thanks....
Author, my thoughts on the book. When are You going to write on Cornelia and Omar Casson's romance? You made no mention, describing in detail how Maja and Uan's white wedding ceremony went. Also, you didn't write on Carol's baby delivery. What about Tyler's romance. Is there closure on Phelps Herrington being truly certified dead, so also his twin brother? Dylan's research institute "little girl", what became of her and Dylan's romance? Beck's blind dates, what were the results, is he married now, so also Dylan to his "little girl"? Why hasn't Ian's father- Steven come forward to meet Maja's parents as the in-laws meeting each other especially with his supposed past with Lillian; Maja's mother. I hope I won't remain curious for too long on the aforementioned issues, Author. Thanks for doing a good job on Zoey and Fitch's romance, though. Kudos....
