How did he know she was here?

Why had he come to see her?

Does he care about her  that much?

"Hi..I. I'm sorry to interrupt, I am about to take my leave". Rhea's stuttering voice gave Diane the sudden urge to laugh as her eyes widened upon seeing Jeremy.

" Why are you leaving now?" Diane asked, seeming to enjoy how nervous her friend was.

"Shush!, it's me". Not believing her ears Rhea went into a phase of shock from disbelief. The bodyguard that had followed Benjamin turned on a flashlight putting some light into the darkness. "Rhea, can you hear me?". Benjamin shook her. Realizing she wasn't dreaming Rhea's lower lips shook slightly as she fought back tears.

    Jeremy's POV "Are you threatening me?" She asked, somewhat scared. I laugh inwardly. I have to admit that watching her walk into the restaurant to meet Michael without stopping her was a hard fit for me. But seeing how things proceeded I am quite relieved. He deserves all he had coming his way. The main issue now is how to make sure Dad and mom doesn't find out about this. Uncle Miles is a shrewd man and he might have informed Dad already. "Jeremy, am I going to be jailed for this?" She asked bringing me out of my thoughts. "You are too smart for the question you just asked, what do you think will happen?"

He asked, gesturing towards the menu."I'm not here to eat" I said, trying not to let my anger out yet."Then…..Do you miss me?. Is that why you are here?" He asked,
