Nathan stood up when she went outside, he wasn't smiling, he looked a little bored. She was walking towards him, while Anna was walking behind her. She knew Anna was observing her actions. "Let's go?" She sounded nice and sweetly while smiling at him. Nathan frowned, she was wondering why Nathan always frowned, maybe it's just one of his mannerisms, but it didn't make him less gorgeous. "Ahhmm, Miss Yana, the contractor from the firm came here, he was asking when they will start the construction of our new branch?" Ana seems to wait her decision, but she couldn't decide yet, because she is lack of funds. She has savings in the bank, but it wasn't enough. She was silent for a while, weighing the current situation. If she will make a loan in the bank, it may take a one one week process."I will just call you about it Ann," she told her. "I need to go to the bank first to get some loan for the construction. I have some money but it might not be enough." She tried to smile, as if sayin

Rhianna froze upon hearing the woman's voice. She slowly turned behind her back, then she saw another blonde woman, she was looking directly to Nathan. Wearing a beautiful smile that could melt a men's heart. She didn't even noticed her presence, it's as if she wasn't there. The woman walked gracefully, swaying her hips as she walks on. She was tall and sexy though she already had a child. The woman tiptoed and kissed Nathan on his cheek. She saw how Nathan snaked his arm around her waist. Then Nathan's eyes went to her, he carefully put down the child and got back to her side. He pulled her closer to his body, his arm was on her waist. She noticed how the woman's eyes followed Nathan's arm to her waist. She felt somewhat proud for what Nathan did. She even noticed how the woman slightly raised her perfectly curve brows. Or it was just an imagination, because she was smiling while looking at her. There's also a glint in her eyes. "Babe, I'd like you to meet, Amber Liang. She was a

"Careful, sweetheart." A familiar and soothing voice of her best friend. Hank was still holding her waist, he was intently looking at her eyes. She saw gladness and sadness at the same time. "Take off your hands, young man before I could break your pretty neck!" It was just a whisper coming from Nathan, but it sounds like thunder in her ear.Nathan was just standing near their car, his eyebrows were in one line and his jaw was moving. She even saw that his face was so red, it only means that he did not like what he saw. Hank still for a while, but released her afterwards."I was calling you, sweetheart, but your phone was always out of reach. Where have you been these past weeks?" Hank was asking him, his voice was full of concern. She even noticed that Hank was somewhat bothered. She wasn't sure, but he seemed distant. Maybe Hank was avoiding Nathan's anger. But she knew her best friend, he wasn't afraid of anyone. Before she could answer, Nathan was standing beside, he snaked his

Nathan took the whiskey straight, the bitter taste running down to his throat. Remembering what had happened four years ago, gave his chest a sudden jolt. He was the prime suspect in Stacey's case, but the lack of evidence and witnesses made his life back to normal. The Langleys went to Australia and live there for good. After that he never heard anything from them since then.For now, all he should think about is how to explain it to Rhianna. Upon remembering her, he stood up and paid for his drinks. He promised to tell her everything, he definitely owed her a story. He went to a bakeshop and bought Rhianna's favorite carrot cake. When he reached his pad, Rhianna was sleeping peacefully. Her scent covers the entire bedroom and it lingers in his nostrils. She smells like a fresh flowers, mixed with citrus. He came closer and kissed her forehead. She moved a little but didn't wake up.He went to the bathroom and took a shower, he let the water washed out all his inhibitions, doubts

Rhianna was tossing and turning endlessly on the bed, she liked to get some sleep, but her mind was still active. She got up from the bed and went to the shower room. There was a bathtub inside, she made a bubble bath and dipped herself for a moment. She felt so relaxed and pampered, she stayed there for an hour before she returned to the bed and tried to sleep. But Nathan's voice was ringing in her ear."When I get back, I'll tell you who Stacey Langley was." She needed to know the story, everybody deserves a fair hearing after all. She felt pity for Stacey and sympathy for Nathan. She needs to know why Scott despised him, and she has nothing to do to depend on Nathan, she doesn't know the whole story.She got up again, and picked up her phone. She called Nathan's number but it was just ringing, he must be very busy because of the days that they were in Miami. She stared at her phone for a couple of minutes, as if she was searching the answers through the screen. She took a deep

"What the heck, Nathan? You were cursing endlessly, what happened?" Rhianna raised her voice. She was wondering why Nathan acted that way. "I'll surely kill that bastard!" Nathan muttered, he was gritting his teeth. "What's with you?" She didn't know what the news he heard about, and he was acting so strange. His knowing look darted her. "Tell me honestly, does Langley bother you, babe?" "No, he's not." Rhianna told Nathan."But I saw him last night," she confessed. Nathan's eyes became more furious, he was like a predator, ready to slay his prey."Last night? Where?" He was frowning at her, she felt nervous in the tension that started to build up between them."When I came out from the restroom, in the restaurant last night." She looked down on the floor, she was so afraid to fight his dagging look."You mean, he waited for you? Is that all?" Nathan was gritting his teeth, it seems that he didn't like her confession."No, he told me to call him when we return home," she said bol
