The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1389

In an unlucky coincidence, just as Cassie was about to approach Nick, another movie had finished causing a stream of people to rush out of the cinema abruptly and block her path.

"Sorry! I didn't see you there." One of the people apologized as he accidentally stepped on Cassie's foot.

Cassie shook her head and stood on her tiptoes to look over the crowd anxiously. Unfortunately, Nick was gone.

"Damn it!"

Cassie stood there, clenching her fists in disappointment. She was certain that it was Nick.

She was also certain that she had seen a female companion by his side. The woman had a tall figure with long hair which draped over her shoulders. Cassie figured it must be the person whose hands she had seen in the photo.

Cassie's heart ached. Although she hadn't seen the face of the woman and her conclusions were only based on assumptions, she knew that a man would not have come to the cinema all by himself to watch a movie.

'Since when did Nick come back? And why didn't he contact me?

Did he fall in love with another woman?' Cassie was so upset.

She couldn't find a way to calm herself down. Caught up in her own despair, she even forgot about Cora who was still watching the movie in the cinema. At a complete loss, Cassie walked along the road aimlessly, paying no attention to the people and things around her.

Suddenly, the sound of her cell phone ringing in her pocket caused her to stop walking.

Cassie was distracted by the familiar song she had set as the ringtone. Instead of answering the call immediately, she left it ringing until the caller hung up. Then she slowly took out the phone to find out who the caller was.

It was Cora's number.

Suddenly, Cassie remembered that Cora was still waiting for her at the cinema, so she immediately called back.

"Cassie, you've been in the washroom for a long time. Is everything okay? The movie just ended. Where are you?" Cora was on the verge of tears, fearing that Cassie had been abducted again.

Cassie bit her lip, feeling guilty for worrying Cora. She immediately explained, "I wasn't feeling well so I walked out for some air. Don't worry. I'll come and see you soon. Right now, I am at..."

Cassie looked around, but found nobody around her. After standing there for a while, she realized she didn't know where she was.

'God, where am I? I must have walked a long way. No wonder I feel so tired and my feet are so heavy.'

The long silence gave Cora a cause to worry and she anxiously asked, "Cassie, what's wrong? I'm so worried about you. Where exactly are you right now?"

"I..." Cassie was just about to tell Cora that she was okay and that she had walked a little far from the cinema, but the call got disconnected as her phone battery died.

Distressed, Cassie held her cell phone and stood there wondering what to do next. She whipped her head about and found that she was the only one there.

'How do I contact Cora? She's been worrying about me for this whole evening. Unable to contact me, she's going crazy! I need to get in touch with her as soon as possible!'

Like a cat on hot bricks, Cassie walked ahead anxiously. She hated herself for being so careless and she hated herself from coming out of the cinema in the first place.
