Until fifteen minutes ago, Erick was still in the restaurant, trying to enjoy Theo's idea of a double date with Bianca and Erna at Theo's chosen restaurant. He himself actually did not like the idea of a double date, but he had no choice.Since he always found himself unable to refuse if it was Theo who asked for it.Furthermore, he could see how excited Theo was once his boyfriend found out that he agreed to the double date proposal, so he let it go in the end. He did not really take to the idea of double dates. He did not like that it was for nothing, but it was for the reason he would not get any privacy on a double date.Plus, it became more annoying since the person who would be their double date's partner was Theo's younger sister, Bianca Pedrosa, who was a spoiled young woman with acute brother complex syndrome.If only he had the courage, he would definitely reject Theo's proposal, no matter how sad Theo would be.Unfortunately, he was not that sadistic to do that. Plus, seein
"Are you ready to see your new look in the mirror, Miss Darren?"Arabelle's soft voice whispered near Veronica's ear. Veronica's eyes were still closed, while her heart was shrouded in curiosity about the results of the face makeup given by Arabelle."Yes ... kind of.""Then, open your eyes now?"Until a few hours ago, Karl was taking her to visit the biggest mall in Waterford City, and without hesitation, she in an instant approached one of the boutique employees, asking the boutique employee to give a recommendation for a dress that matched her personality.She was already quite surprised and unable to just touch all the dresses in the boutique when he saw how much the nominal price listed in the price tag of each dress was. Each dress was much more expensive than the cost of renting an old apartment or tuition fees every year which was increasingly rising.After arguing with Karl and continuing to persuade Karl to buy a dress in a cheaper place (and of course, her efforts to persua
Tony took a deep breath, enjoying the fresh air that he could finally enjoy after spending quite a long time recovering his body in a place where he could finally leave for as long as possible.If possible, he doesn't want to come to that place forever, he muttered without taking his eyes off the trees whose leaves swayed with the wind. After his fight with William Schneider, which nearly killed him, he slowly began to rethink his priorities and realized one thing.Until that incident, he was so focused on all his tasks that he barely had time for Lorenzo. For that reason, he decided to give his boyfriend a little surprise as his way of making up for all the lost time by asking him out on a date to a lake that was quite far from their house.His hand then reached for the cell phone that was in his trouser pocket and searched for Lorenzo's name in his contact list before calling his boyfriend, who immediately received his phone call within seconds."Hey! What's up, babe?"Lorenzo's voi
On the way to Lorenzo's house, he stopped for a moment at a roadside antique shop that caught her eye immediately and went into the shop, looking for something he could give Lorenzo as a gift from him later."May I help you, Sir?"A young man's voice greeted him from behind in a warm and cheerful tone that made him almost drop one of the ceramic cups he had been holding."Oh, did I startle you, sir?"The young man then looked at him with a worried face, making him immediately respond to the boy named Mike's question with a nod of his head."I'm sorry for the inconvenience, Sir. I just wanted to help you because you look a little difficult when choosing the thing you want to buy.”"Am I?" he asked, which the young man answered with a nod of his head while taking the ceramic cup he was holding from his hand and returning it to its original place. “Well… You are right. I was having a hard time buying something from this shop for someone.”"Does that person have a special position in your
Arriving at the lake where he invited her boyfriend to spend their time there, he was forced to carry Lorenzo after his boyfriend repeatedly refused his invitation to get out of his car.Even though he had already brought a bag containing their picnic needs for this afternoon, his boyfriend again refused his invitation with reasons that again made no sense."Put me down right now!" cried Lorenzo, beating his chest many times, which he simply ignored. "I want to go home right now! Whatever it is, it's not here with you or whoever is in Tony's body right now!""After I went all the way to pick you up from home and drove my car to take you to this place? Well, I don't want to waste my time without enjoying the scenery here with you.""It adds one more reason for me not to go along with you! Put me down while I'm still asking you nicely.""My answer is still the same, which is no.""You!!! Aargh!! I don't want to be your sacrifice, dammit!"It was only then that he stopped his footsteps a
The limousine driven by Hades arrived in front of the new apartment building she did not recognize. Hades got out of the car, opened the car door, and invited Veronica, Karl, and also Stephen to get out of the car."Thank you, Hades," Veronica said, looking down at Hades, who only responded with a small smile on his face. She had not seen Hades for a long time, especially since she moved from Mansion Karl to Stephen's mansion.Compared to the last time she met Hades, she felt that Hades looked much thinner and paler, with fatigue that was very clear on the face of the lizard man. Even she noticed that the tail of the man's lizard only moved weakly."Hades, have you brought the items I asked for?" Karl asked as soon as he set foot down from his limousine, facing Hades."Yes, your highness.""Great. And how about Alec? I remember that I had told him to postpone my order taking in his place, but I think I had to take the order faster than the initial schedule. ""Young master Alec stated
Veronica's eyes blinked, unable to believe what she had just seen in front of her. Febrina blew the birthday trumpet so loudly, along with the cheers that were so lively, that she almost fell over in surprise. Meanwhile, Gavin along with Erna and Bianca began to sing Happy Birthday—not in a harmonious way—while carrying a birthday cake. Well, out of the three of them, only Bianca was tone deaf. So it is clear who was the culprit for contributing to the hoarse tone. "Happy birthday Vero." “Eh?” Veronica looked at her older sister, who immediately hugged her tightly, and stopped blowing her trumpet. "What's this? Why is there cake?” "I prepared this for a celebration of your birthday," answered Febrina in a soft, half-whispered tone. "I knew you would forget your birthday so I thought coming up with a surprise party idea like this would definitely make you feel good." "Oh, I don't know what to say," Veronica returned Febrina's hug for a moment, and kissed her older sister's cheeks
The sound of soft music filled the living room where Veronica was currently. His sister was busy dancing with Gavin in a passionate dance style that contrasted with the elements of the music that was playing. Meanwhile Erna and Bianca were busy playing tarot cards in the dining room.He can't play tarot cards—let alone read it, so he chooses to sit on the sofa chair that looks like his sister just bought him. The old sofa chair, he didn't know where it was, but the new chair was much more comfortable.His hand had been holding the edge of the wine glass, only shaking the glass occasionally without taking a sip, enjoying the view in front of him.If, if only time would continue like this…The peace, the sound of laughter, the happiness of those closest to him..."I reckon the war will start in a week's time, according to my quickest estimate…"He remembered Arabelle's words when he was still at Nora's residence. His hand stopped shaking the wine glass, and he took a deep breath.Was th
