Time: Sunday evening
Venue: Restaurant

“Buddy, what are you thinking about? Share share leh”

Mark nudges me off my thoughts.

“What revenge plan have you come up with? Just tell me if you need me to play any part.”

I am not even thinking of any plot; I am just taken aback by Elaine’s beauty.

“By the way, did you see the lady sitting opposite Elaine? She is also a very pretty lady. Wow two beauties together. Do you need me to tackle any of them?”

I take a quick glance at my 5 o’clock again to see who the other lady is.

Sometimes you just cannot afford not to believe in coincidences. It’s my brother’s wife, my sister-in-law, Phoebe.

“Mark, that’s my sister-in-law, Phoebe.”

“Oh buddy, you mean your brother, Jason? Wow you guys all are so fortunate. Claire is such a beauty; even your sister-in-law is so pretty. Real envious of you guys. So do you need my help to get close to Elaine or anything? I am quite good with girls, you know.”

“No thanks bro. I need you to help me with something. Help me check out this person and his family.”

I take out a pen from my pocket and write a name on his notebook. Stuart Andersen.

“This is my big boss. Ang Moh from the Sweden HQ. Has been in Singapore for the past 1 year. I know he stays at the Bayshore Condo. That’s all I know. Can you check out every info about him? His family, his hobbies, his schedule and everything. I need him in my revenge plan on George.”

“Ok consider it done.”

“And for now, I need you to make a quiet exit. I don’t want Phoebe and Elaine to see me with a private investigator. In case their imagination run wild or alert Raymond or even worse, George.”

“Ok ok got it buddy. You pick the tab then. Will contact you once I got the info on your big boss.”

Mark leaves the restaurant, leaving me by myself at the table.

I have not had a concrete plan yet, but my initial thought is to make use of my big boss to do George in. I want him to lose everything, his job, his future, his wife. How? Not sure yet, but I am sure I will figure it out.

“Is that you, Wilson?” Someone is calling me by my side.

I look up and see Phoebe and Elaine walking past me.

“Oh hi Phoebe. What are you doing here?”

“I was having dinner with my best friend, Elaine. Elaine, this is my brother-in-law, Wilson.”

I stand up and put out my hand to shake Elaine’s little hand. Her hand feels so small, so soft. Somehow the touch of her hand is sending waves of electric down my hand.

“Hi…hi…. Elaine, niceeee to ….meet ….you.” I am actually getting nervous in her presence.

“Hi Wilson, nice to meet you too.” Her gentle smile is sending glows of warmth onto my shivering face.

“You people are leaving? I am making my move too.” I take a glance at my Patek, it’s already 8.55 pm.

“Where are you going? It’s quite late. Do you need a lift or something?”

“Kor, Jason is coming to pick me up at the taxi stand. Elaine stays near your area. Do you mind helping me to send her back?”

I can sense Elaine hesitating and about to open her mouth to reject the offer, so I immediately volunteered my service, “Sure Phoebe. Come Elaine, it’s along the way. Not easy to get a cab on Sunday at this hour.”

That’s how we end up in my car; the first time I am alone with Elaine. Butterflies are having a field day in my stomach but I must keep my cool and make sure we do not have too much of awkward silences.

My worries are quite unfounded, as Elaine is a very chirpy and friendly girl. We are chatting almost about anything, from the time we part way with Phoebe at the restaurant, all the way to the carpark, and now in my car, Elaine always has something to chat with me. It feels like we have known each other for a long time……

“So you are best friends with Phoebe?”

“Yes, we knew each other since secondary school. We studied fashion design together at the poly too. Now we are doing our understudying at the same fashion label.”

“Wow looks like you two are always together. So you are also 21 yrs old like Phoebe. So young.”

“Yes, I am one of Phoebe’s bridesmaids when she got married to Jason. You are not that old. I have seen you at the wedding dinner. Not sure if you remember seeing me?”

I try to recall; I remember that Phoebe has a bunch of very pretty girls as her bridesmaids. Almost all the guys at the wedding dinner were ogling at the bridesmaids. I think I have some recall of Elaine; she is one of the prettiest amongst the bridesmaids. Oh yes, I can recall now. But she looks even prettier now, more womanly, and more feminine.

“Oh ya, I think I can recall now. Wow you can recognise me?”

“Of course. Do you know all the bridesmaids were talking about how suave and handsome Jason’s brother is at the wedding? But too bad, your wife is at the wedding too, so no one dare to approach you haha.”

“You sure? Are you one of those that think I am handsome too?”

For the first time, there is an awkward silence in my car. I glance quickly over to Elaine, while keeping my eyes on the road. Can see her blushing in the dim lights of the passing lamp posts.

“Hee I don’t know. All I know is most of my friends feel you look handsome, mature and manly. Even Phoebe thinks you are a very eligible man.”

I never for once, expect Phoebe to be talking about me with her friends. This is something new.

Somehow the journey just seems so short with Elaine in my car. We reach her home area without us knowing. I stop my car just below her block.

“Thanks Wilson for the ride. Oh by the way, your wife’s name is Claire, right? Help me say hello to her.”

“We had some misunderstandings and she is now staying at her sister’s place. I am alone now.” Technically I did not lie.

“Oh I am sorry to hear that. You alright?”

“Yes I am alright, but I can do with some company with a pretty girl like you sometimes if you don’t mind.” I am just trying to push my luck further.

There is a moment of hesitation on Elaine. “Pass me your phone.”

She presses a few numbers on my phone and presses the call button. “I just called myself using your phone. Now you got my number. You can message me when you need someone to talk to.”

With that, she alights my car and hops to the lift.

I drive off in my BMW. Within 5 minutes, I receive a message in my phone "Thanks for the nice chat. I enjoyed the evening with you. Good night sweet dreams. Elaine"

I am feeling sweetness in my mouth, in my eyes, in my heart. That's the feeling of falling in love.

Throughout our conversation, she has not mentioned anything about her being married nor being the wife of Raymond.
