Just as he was about to reach for his phone, a peculiar figure emerged before him, causing a jolt of fear to course through his veins. How could someone so ghastly reside here?

In the midst of his trepidation, Camila's voice broke the silence. "Why have you come so late?" she asked, opening the door with an air of indifference.

Jaylen's expression held a hint of amusement as he stuttered, "You. You're Camila?" She motioned for him to enter, her response a dismissive hum.

Jaylen, still recovering from his fright, followed her inside, unable to resist inquiring, "Why are you dressed like this? You scared me. I thought I had encountered a ghost.”

“I was afraid Isaac might recognize me," Camila explained matter-of-factLly.

The mention of Isaac's name instantly piqued Jaylen's interest. "Have you seen him?" he eagerly inquired.

"Yes," she replied simply. Camila removed her hat and mask, making her way to the bathroom to begin the meticulous process of removing her makeup.

Time seemed to stretch as she painstakingly wiped it away.

Jaylen following her into the bathroom, his curiosity unabated.

“Did you two talk?" he pressed on

Fixated on her reflection in the mirror, Camila squeezed out some makeup remover and began delicately wiping her face.

“I am his doctor now," she revealed, her voice steady.

“Is he sick? Actually, I meant is his disease terminal Jaylen inquired, his satisfaction at Isaac's misfortune evident in his tone.

Camila shot him a stern glare, countering with a question, “What good would it do you if Isaac were to die’

Jaylen's response was quick and calculating. "Then no one would stand in my way to win you over."

Camila's gaze pierced into Jaylen's eyes as she spoke with conviction.

“Even without him, I would never be with you."

In a sudden act of desperation, Jaylen grasped her hand, pleading, “why?

Camila met his gaze unwaveringly, her words firm and unwavering.

“The heart is a small space capable of holding only a few things, especially when it comes to matters of love. My heart is already occupied by someone else, Leaving no room for you."

Unsure if Jaylen's intentions were genuine or merely a jest, Camila felt it best to clarify.

“If you were joking, forget it. If you were serious, then I am serious too."

Jaylen, sensing the gravity of the moment, slowly released Camila's hand, his eyes locked with hers.

He ventured cautiously, probing her feelings. "You truly have feelings for Isaac?"

As Camila busied herself with washing her face, she gave no verbal response.
