Revenge

Amanda’s coughing subsided in the face of Aaron Gu's sarcasm. "What are you doing here?" she blurted out.

Aaron Gu looked at her coldly and asked: "What? Is this your shop? Em?"

He was obviously very unhappy, and there was a chill in his tone.

But Amanda had never been afraid of Aaron Gu. She was never afraid of him when she was alive, and she will not be afraid of him after she died, either...

Oh, yeah, Amanda had died. So Aaron was not here for her; and sitting across him was not Amanda but the teenager girl, Mia, who had been fucking with him last night and this morning; and Aaron Gu was as cold and ruthless as he always had been, not even to his little girlfriend.

Night closed in; outside the peaceful snack bar was a noisy and bustling world they all came from; everything was still the same as yesterday, as years ago; Aaron Gu was sitting across her ordering his sweet jelly; but he was not that young sunshine boy any more and she was not Amanda; he could never see her face again, even if he wanted...

Amanda smiled self-mockingly, lowered her head again, and continued to sip at her bowl of spicy beancurd jelly.
