10 That night , I had a few drinks . I dreamt of the first time I met Jax Ryder . He had just transferred back to the country from an international team . Young , he was already one of the hottest players in the entire e - sports scene . At a not - so - small business dinner , he was one of the focal points of attention . 21:37 Tue , 26 Aug < 3 % I was taking my wine glass to the garden when I happened to run into him . I offered a gentle , friendly smile : " Hello , Mr. Ryder , I'm Eve Cross . " " Oh , I know you . " He replied lazily , " Inside , they were calling you the ' Ninja Turtle ' earlier ." " When I came out , I saw your husband speeding off with his girlfriend ." My smile didn't falter : " I know . " " You're not angry ? " " Not angry . " " Don't you want revenge ? " " How would I get revenge ? " Under the soft moonlight , his young face was impossibly handsome , and his pupils held a hint of sharp light . A sudden wave of drunkenness made me lean closer to him . " Could it be , Mr. Ryder , that you'd be willing to be my eye - for - an - eye partner ? " Jax Ryder burst out laughing : " Sister , I don't have such … peculiar tastes . " I blinked : " That's a shame , then ." As I spoke , I started to pull away . But he grabbed my wrist . " Giving up so easily ? " 21:38 Tue , 26 Aug < The boy raised an eyebrow . " Perhaps if you said a few more words , I might just be tempted ? " The sudden ring of my phone woke me from my dream . I answered , and Jax Ryder's voice came through . " Eve , I'm downstairs at your place . "
