Vitali Ivanov ,”
announced a blonde-haired news woman. Then there was footage of
Samael climbing down the stairs of his firm. A lot of journalists
with microphones and cameras ran to meet him, but Samael refused to
answer any of their questions.
    Lily didn’t listen to what the news woman
was saying about one of the richest young men in the world. All she
could focus on were those incredible green eyes that had so
enthralled her last night. Again an inexplicable feeling arose
inside her, and she yearned to be locked in his warm arms and to
have his lips on hers. The feeling lasted less than two seconds and
dissolved quickly.
    “Oh, bingo,” the words escaped Nancy’s mouth
instinctively, catching Lily’s attention. She frowned at her
friend. “At least, we know he’s a human now,” Nancy teased. “Samael
Eden,” she went on, now looking at Lily. “That's a strange name,
don’t you think?”
    “What was his name?” Lily asked. She felt
her stomach clench.
    “Samael Eden,” Nancy said, and crossed her
legs. “Did you hear who he was?”
    “I don’t think I did,” Lily stammered, her
fingers began trembling again.
    “Come back to earth, baby,” Nancy jabbed
Lily’s arm. “His name is Samael Eden. Did he mention it at all when
you met?”
    “No,” Lily murmured. “He just talked about
taking me home, that’s all.”
    “But are you sure this is the same guy?”
    “Positive,” she agreed.
    “What was such a rich guy doing in the club,
then?” Nancy asked pensively.
    That moment the waitress came up, setting
Lily’s coffee and Nancy’s lunch on the table.
    “Thank you,” Nancy said.
    Lily reached for the cup and took a sip of
warm coffee, still wandering somewhere in her memories.
    “Do you remember his car? What kind of make
was it?” Nancy interrupted her.
    “I don’t know,” Lily replied, still
preoccupied. “I don't know much about cars, but it seemed very
expensive.”
    “Then it must've been him, no doubt.”
    The door of the café swung open, and Mike
slid in wearing a happy expression. He looked around and saw the
girls in the corner. As he approached them there was a big smile on
his face.
    “Hey, girls,” he burst out, bending forward
to kiss Nancy on the lips.
    “Mike,” Nancy said. “You’re late. Sit.”
    Mike sat down beside her and looked from her
to Lily. “Are you okay, sweetheart?”
    “Yeah,” Lily said in an undertone, although
in truth she was far from okay.
    “Mike,” Nancy spoke. “Do you know that guy
from the club?”
    “That one Lily was dancing with?” Mike
specified.
    “Yeah.”
    “As far as I know, he was the owner.” His
questioning eyes flew from one girl to the other. “At least, that's
what Alen told me. He was really upset seeing Lily with him
yesterday.”
    “We don’t give a shit about how Alen felt,”
Nancy put in sharply instead of Lily. She knew her friend would say
the same. “You know that he’s – the owner's – the head of one of
the biggest transportation firms in the USA?”
    “Really?” Mike said in surprise. “Good shot,
Lily,” he joked. Nobody laughed. Mike cleared his throat and gawked
around.
    “How do you know that?” He asked after a
minute.
    “He was on the news,” Nancy informed, her
mouth full of sandwich.
    “You haven't seen him today, right, Lily?”
Mike asked her.
    Lily sighed, and looked at Mike’s worried
face. “No, and I doubt I will. He doesn’t even know who I am.”
    “With the money he has, it wouldn’t hard for
him to find you,” Mike supposed, turning to the waitress.
    “He'll only try to find me if he wants me,”
Lily added rapidly.
    “I think he’s right,” Nancy said to Lily
while Mike was occupied in talking to the waitress. “If he wants,
he can search around for you easily.”
    “But I’m not sure I want to see him again,”
Lily thought aloud, taking a sip of her coffee. Was that what her
heart wanted?
    Now that Mike was here, Nancy finally quit
questioning Lily
