the one who went through all the trouble carrying the pomegranates back from the hospital.”Smiling as he adjusted his glasses, Josiah asked, “No, it’s all right. It wasn’t really heavy. Let’s talk inside, shall we?”“Talk about what?”Leaning against the wall lazily, Josiah said with a half smile, “I’m concerned about your mental health as your friend. I’ve heard about what Nate’s fans did to you. You must be frustrated.”“That’s it?” Winnie raised her eyebrows skeptically. “It’s not that bad, but I’ll have to admit that it’s kind of frustrating since Nate’s fans are mostly fourteen or fifteen-year-old teenagers. They are neither mature enough nor capable of taking full responsibility for their actions.”“You’re right.” After choosing his words carefully, Josiah continued, “If this behavior is not curbed, these teenagers may get out of control in the future. The best way to deal with this is to make a police report and let the police handle it. However, if it is a serious case, the teenagers may carry a criminal record forever. It must be horrible for the parents to see their sweet and obedient daughters become someone who would do anything for their idols under the influence of these idol fan groups. How scary is that? What if someday you realize someone who is the closest to you has changed? What will you do?” “Someone who is the closest to me?” Winnie allowed herself to ponder for a while before replying, “If it’s someone who’s close to me, I will be more tolerant of them compared to strangers. However, they must learn from their mistakes. If they insist on going their own way, there is nothing else I can do other than part ways with them.”Josiah nodded. “That’s what I think too. Tolerating them is one thing, but in the end, we cannot condone their mistakes.”Winnie agreed, “You’re right. Tolerating is not the same as condoning. All right, I need to go.”“Okay. Let me walk you to the door.”Although it was just a few steps away, Josiah walked Winnie to the elevator.However, before the elevator arrived, he called out to her.“I’m working the day shift the day after tomorrow by the way. Let’s have dinner together after work.”“Okay, it’s settled then.”The elevator arrived just as she agreed to their dinner arrangement.He watched the elevator doors close after she entered.Hopefully, Winnie won’t condone Jacinta’s mistakes once we have proof.To lure Harold out, Winnie made sure there were minimal changes to her daily schedule.Other than her house, the company she was working at, and the mall near the company, she went nowhere else.On most occasions, she went to the mall to eat, and she always chose to dine on the top floor where there were fewer people.It was half past seven at night. As usual, she headed to the mall to have her dinner after getting off work.She was able to have a bird’s-eye view over the mall because the elevator was transparent, and she could even see the people in the elevator next to her.To her surprise, she saw Josiah in the elevator beside her. He was carrying a suitcase.She instinctively thought that he came to the mall to meet her, but then she remembered their dinner arrangement was supposed to be on the next day.Not overthinking the coincidence, she didn’t intend to contact Josiah about it because he might have some personal matters to attend to.However, she didn’t expect Josiah to head for the eighth floor too.Once she exited the elevator, she turned left while Josiah turned right.At first, she didn’t intend to go over and greet Josiah, but she suddenly noticed someone stalking Josiah stealthily.She couldn’t possibly ignore what she saw.However, she wasn’t sure why the
