* At Night *"Yes, Mr. Weston. I am here to collect the report. Yes, once I get it I will take immediate action... Why is she... Is her brother admitted here?" "What happened?" Rhodes asked him, from the other side of the call."Oh, it's nothing. I just... I will call you back, bye." As soon as he came across her, Tyler stopped on the spot. He made a quick look at the surroundings, trying to not getting seen by her and as she continued walking away, he followed after her. "Yes, Miss. Thank you a lot and please, when he comes back... Tell him that I called. Yes, I will be waiting for you then." Hanging up, Xyria gazed at her phone screen with a sad look on her face. "I have called everyone I could, there's nobody left whom I can ask for help from. Xavi, what do I do now? You are unconscious, when you wake up they will take you back to the jail and I don't want that. I will prevent them from doing it anyhow but... Why there's no way out? There's not much time left... " 'I was right,
"La la la, mmm." Ring! Pausing on her track, Celeste gazed at the distance where Rhodes was seen sitting alone on a bench. She checked her phone and as the caller's name reflected on her phone screen, she put it back into her pocket.Day turned into night so fast that it felt like a magic. Unlike she thought, Rhodes didn't leave her hand and he didn't even complain that it was a crowded place. In the amusement park, they spent a day full of fun.Ring!Getting annoyed, as she picked up the call her mother's sobs could be heard from this side of the call. "My dear, Celes. Why didn't you pick up my calls? Have you forgotten your mother? Don't you miss me anymore?" Anya cried out.'There she goes. Let's see what drama she wants to play this time.'Celeste stared at the distance and let out a sigh of annoyance, "I was busy with work."For the second time, Anya saw her giving a cold shoulder. Though she didn't say it directly, it was as if she wanted to let her know that she was tired of
"His bodyguards are not with him today, he has been alone most of the days.""How about his secretary? Or his lawyer?""They are not with him, it's a bit strange since he never goes out without them. Boss, the target is now heading towards the suburbs. Should we keep following them or take action?""As soon as he enters the tunnel, do it. Make sure to not let any evidence behind.""Yes, boss. Should we kill the woman also? Or do we take her to t..."Upon hearing about a woman involved with him, the man from the other side of the call asked curiously, "What is she doing with him?""She was with him the whole day, they seemed inseparable." The man driving the car replied, following Rhodes at full speed. Not getting any response from his boss, he questioned again, "Boss, what do we do?""Change the plan.""What?""Don't do anything until I order." With that as he hung up, one of the men in the car asked, "What did he say?""We need to step back.""Huh? But we have come this far, why now?
"Tell me, wanna be my mistress? If you agree, I will take pity on you and take you in." Nathan smirked at her, moving toward the back and his full attention cast on only her. Celeste stood there all silent and too disgusted to say anything. Looking at both of them, the woman pulled his hand shyly and muttered, "Babe."As if he was that one actor who is a tr@sh inside yet the male lead for every woman, Nathan's facial expression changed quickly the moment his gaze shifted to the woman standing behind him. "Yes, babe.""Uhmm, what is she saying? Do you perhaps... Know her?""Mr? No, no. Why would I know her?" Giving Celeste a look of mockery, he voiced in full spirit, "I don't know who she is.""Then, was she disturbing you? Why was she...""Yeah, you... Can say that. She was saying that she likes me and if I wanted to go on a date with her but I told her that I love you and I will never leave you for anyone." As Nathan voiced so, the woman gave Celeste an angry look before pulling his
Staring right into his eyes without even blinking once, Celeste was about to grab his hand but suddenly someone grabbed her hand and pushed her backwards. "You... Who are you? Why are you meddling in?" Nathan blurted out while trying to pull away his hand, looking at the tall man standing in front of him. Surprised by the sudden presence of him, Celeste gazed at the veiny hand and in a swift, her gaze shifted to his back. "Rhodes, why are you here?""Let go of me! Who the hell are you?" Nathan continued getting away from him only in vain. "Look at these two, are they fighting over a woman? Who are they? Do you know them? Wait, isn't he looking a bit too familiar? I feel like I've seen that woman and man somewhere. Especially that sexy vampire-like facing features...""Oh, right. I think he... Right, he is Rhodes Weston. OMG, take photos. I never could imagine that someone as famous as him, I will get to see him one day. Oh my god, someone should hold me. I might faint..."The woman
Sneaking a peek at Rhodes while sitting next to him in the car, she let out a sigh of annoyance. Celeste managed to leave the cafe with him but as they got in the car, he remained silent and waiting for him to say something, she followed his actions as well. "Alright, I can't do this anymore." Celeste took a deep breath as she turned towards him. "Why did you go to the cafe?""To drink coffee."'As the CEO you can just tell anyone to bring it to you, why must you... '"If you wanted to drink coffee, why didn't you tell me? I would have brought it for you.""You are not my servant, why would I tell you about what I want to eat?"Upon hearing him say it with a straight face, she rolled her eyes in utter disbelief. 'Since I met you, if you have done something at an excessive amount then it should be how you kept bossing me around. Yeah, recently you don't do it like the past but it's certainly not because you have gotten gentler... I don't know why I feel like it was not a mere coincide
Knock! "Come in." Tyler murmured some words mindlessly, his eyes glued to the computer screen. The creaking sound of the door opening reached his ears but he remained unbothered by the unexpected presence of the person in his office. "Put those on the table and take out the blue one. Make a copy of it then bring it to me.""Uhmm... " Hearing the female tone of voice, his gazes shifted at her and he looked a little taken aback. "Miss Lopez, why are you here?""I wanted to see you so..." Xyria answered, standing at a close distance from him."Ahh, I see. What's wrong? Why did you want to see me?""Well, I found a lead in my brother's case. I wanted to talk to... You about it but since... I don't have your number, I couldn't reach you that's why..." As she voiced so, her gazes moved across the room aimlessly.Tyler nodded his head in understanding and added, "That's great. What did you find?"That night, Tyler not only saved her brother from getting attacked but he also let that assass
"Sir Atlas." Upon seeing her walk towards him, Atlas looked away in annoyance as he murmured, "There we go.""Where is Rhodes?" Celeste asked curiously, her gazes scanning the surroundings."How can I know where he is?""Huh? But I heard that you know where he is.""Who told you that?" A little annoyed, he inquired."That's not important. Anyway, where is he?" Since getting the same attitude from him for the past few months, it was not shocking for her to see him being annoyed most of the time. Celeste gazed at her wristwatch, anticipating his reply."I don't know." Saying so as he took a step forward, Celeste blocked his way. "Sir Atlas..""You heard me, I don't...""We both know the answer, don't we? So, you should just tell me the truth instead of playing childish here." Atlas gazed into the distance and cleared his throat. "Even if you know, what are you going to do about it? He is there for some important b...""That shouldn't be any of your concern, I will take care of it." Sh

"Where... Are we going?" As she asked for his hand, Rhodes hesitantly asked her.The cheerful noises of children running around, adults laughing and screaming reached his ears. Rhodes hated to be in crowded places yet when she asked him this morning that she would like to take him somewhere he followed her without asking where they were going to.Smiling at him, Celeste held his hand. As the bodyguards wanted to follow them, she voiced, "You guys can go do something else, we will manage."Ignoring her command, the bodyguards looped at him as if waiting for him to say something. Celeste bit her lips and pulled the corner of his shirt, "You say something.""Wait for us here.""Yes, Mr. Weston." They said in unison."Let's go, Rhodes. I promise you that you will have a lot of fun." While holding his hand firmly, she smiled at him. "Is it a book fair? Why is it so noisy?" He asked, hiding how uncomfortable he was getting.Taking a look around, Celeste moved some inches away from him but
