Elise's brow furrowed as she prepared to continue her impassioned argument with Valencia. "Being civilized—" she began, but the rest of her sentence was drowned out by a shrill ringing that echoed through the cavernous parking garage. Both women paused, their heads swiveling in unison as they scanned the concrete expanse, searching for the source of the intrusive noise. Elise's hands landed on her hips, her patience already wearing thin. "Where on earth is that damn phone ringing?" she demanded, her voice sharp with irritation. Valencia's lips pressed into a taut line as she silently sprang into action, her long legs propelling her across the cavernous parking garage. Without a word, she headed towards the left side of the lot, the direction she had been facing earlier when the incessant ringing had first interrupted their conversation. Elise arched a perfectly sculpted brow, watching Valencia's retreating form for a moment before deciding to join the hunt. Whatever was causing t

Dion's heart pounded in his chest as he crouched behind the concrete pillar, his knuckles turning white as he gripped the delicate, knitted flower keychain in his hand. The heated exchange between Valencia and Elise echoed through the cavernous parking garage, each word laced with years of pent-up resentment and unresolved conflict.Beads of sweat formed on Dion's brow as he wrestled with his next move. Should he quietly slip away, hoping to avoid the inevitable awkwardness of being discovered? Or should he wait, biding his time until the two women had finally exhausted their war of words and gone their separate ways?Dion knew that either option carried its own set of risks. If he left now, Valencia might notice the missing keychain and wonder what had become of it. And if he stayed, there was always the chance that one of the women might catch a glimpse of him, leading to an even more uncomfortable confrontation.Closing his eyes, Dion took a deep breath and tried to quiet the anxio

The figure turned their body around and showed a visible annoyed look on their face, her amber eyes trailed my body from head to toe with a scowl plastered on her face, It took me aback when I realised who bumped into me, It was Elise Crawford, Daughter of one of the Michelin star Chef and my High school batchmate, “Wait, is that you…hold on, what was your first name again? Was it Valkyrie, wait, was it Valerie?’’ I rolled my eyes when I heard her familiar snobby tone, ‘’It’s Valencia, VA.LEN.CIA, Elise.” I sighed in distress, “I feel like I just aged 30 years, after seeing her.’’ I grumbled underneath my breath, however, Elise noticed the grimace I had on my face and spoke, “Right, I think I remember who you are, You’re the second eldest child of Mr. Charles Rhys, Valerie Rhys”I clenched my jaw before I uttered back at her statement, ‘’For the last time, It’s Valencia, Valencia Rhys.” I seethed, “Right, right, whatever, What do you want? And can you make it fast, I have somewhere el

“Take out number 38! Take out number 38! Please, take your order here at the counter.” I feigned no ambivalence when I scampered at the counter after checking the paper in my hand, I took a swift keek at the man before I averted my sight elsewhere when I saw him staring at me with an evident frown on his face “Why does he look upset?”Sweat began forming on my forehead while striding at the claiming area, “Number 38, pl-” I unintentionally slammed the paper on the counter out of a rush that surprised the employee.A faint hue of red crept on my cheeks from feeling abashed by my actions, “Sorry for the scare, I didn’t mean to do that, but here's the number.” I started embarrassingly, I noticed her charring look while taking the paper that has my takeout number printed onto it “Alright…here you go, Ma’am, hope you enjoy.’’ she said with a stilted voice before she pushed the brown tray towards me.I bobbed my head and gave her a sheepish smile before I uttered, “Ah, yes thank you.” I hast

Valencia had scowl on her face when she saw a familiar individual sitting from afar, "Of all places, we just had to meet here.", she sneered at the oblivious Dion Nester, across the room “It looks like karma is biting my ass for talking back to my father last time .” She placed her bent arm on the wooden table with her elbow kissing the blue mantle and pressed her fingers on her temple and began massaging her head in circular motion with a frown on her face.She leaned back on her chair and placed her arms on the armrest and sighed, she dismissed her thoughts to diminish the stress that might turn into a headache if she continued to worry about being seen by Dion.“Hah, why should I worry about this?” Valencia only wanted to avoid ruining her tranquil morning so she diverted her focus to her left, peering through the window to watch the people pass by while waiting for her order patiently.A scrupulous gaze lingered visibly in Dion’s black eyes as he read the book in his left hand, de
