It was six pm in the evening, nethean arrived at the cottage with the hope of meeting Alicia waiting for him. He stride inside with a smile on his face, but immediately his gaze landed on just two figure seated, the smile suddenly disappeared, disappointment wash through him. Scott was engrossed in his phone while Tessa was studying. He cough to announce his presence, they quickly diverted there gaze to him.He flash them a smile and took some calculated stride close to Scott. "Where you two that busy, that you didn't notice me come in." He asked. His gaze scanning the room hoping Alicia would come out from anywhere.Scott chuckled "Sorry about that, I was busy with my phone, and Tessa here had to study." He apologize."Hey nethean...." She was cut off by him."Where's Alicia?" He asked getting impatient. He clearly asked her to come, why was she not here yet? Or maybe Ashley didn't inform her, but if she didn't why was Tessa here? He thought.Tessa start to play with her hands, she w
The next day.Mr Luis was seated in his office, he's back relaxed on his office chair with his eyes closed.Since the night after he left the club he hasn't gotten relief from going to the restroom to deficate, his stomach has been grumbling time to time, making him go to the restroom.But today was a little better, he hasn't gone to the restroom like other days.He slowly opened his eyes to the light in his office, his gaze cornered to the right,where he saw shadow standing with his hands locked together.Shadow notice his eyes were now opened, he sigh and stride few steps. "How do you feel today boss?"Mr Luis sat upright and turn to him."I'm feeling alot better, I don't know what I ate that kept me going to the restroom, I don't remember eating anything bad." He was fine just before he left for the club, but it all started when he was at the club and with the lady he meet right after he approached her.Could it be he's stomach was bad before he went to the club or was it the whiske
Nethean strode out of the company and hop into the car, with a light sigh, not sure if he made the right decision, he was scared people around him might get hurt, because of him. "How did it go? Did he get suspicious?" Scott asked. "There was nothing like that, I don't think he knows mum sent me, he was happy I agreed to it." Nethean responded but deep down he was scared. "I know you're worried, but don't let it spoil your day, I'm sure you don't want to ruin the atmosphere." Nethean was lost, this was his uncle they are talking about, he knows how cruel and ruthless he could be when he wants something, he has seen him done all such things while growing up under his guidance. He wasn't sure of anything yet, but the decision he made, he has engraved it in his heart, and there won't be going back. "We should hurry to school, I don't want to miss class." Nethean said. Scott rolled his eyes at him and start the car engine. They got to school and quickly stride to class, immediately the
"hahahaha, the both of you did a very good job, I knew everything would work out as planned. But Anna what did you put in his drink, I'm sure you had something on you before leaving the house." Grandpa Wei asked. He picked up his medicine from the stool beside him and munch it down with water.Shadow has been curious, he wanted to ask her what was in the drink the night at the club but couldn't, he had to restrain from getting caught. He has never seen his boss, nag over his stomach while going to the restroom. "Grandpa I'm also curious, I haven't seen my boss miss going to club for day's clutching to his stomach."Anna was listening to them but her mind was completely not with them, her thoughts was filled with her family, she missed them all of a sudden. After neglecting them for twenty years, she left because she thought she don't need them anymore, now she wants nothing than to go back home to them.Ever since Grandpa Wei urged her to go home, she has been thinking about them late

Mrs Veronica said making them giggle."Don't put it that way, I'm sorry about last time, I didn't ditch you ladies, but don't worry I will sure make it up to you all." Juliet responded. "Maria have you informed Aliya?" She asked.Mrs Maria turn to her with her brows knitted "Oh, about the audition? She was at the company when I set the date, she was the one who help me pick a date.""Okay, I thought she isn't aware." Mr Maria's phone start to ring, she checked the caller ID and excuse herself. She walk a bit far from them before picking up... "What did you find?" She asked immediately she picked up."The man you meet at his office, is a businessman, but his business isn't well known. His name is Robert, their relationship is purely business, they have known each other for twenty years now. But you have to be careful, Luis isn't
Alicia was seated in the parkings waiting for her friends, before heading to the cottage. She was playing a game on her phone, giggling at herself each time she lose. She fidgted at the sight of a shadow she saw next to her, she lift her head to see Jake smiling down at her, with his hands in his pocket. "Do you have to scare me that way?" She asked annoyed by the fact that she was still breathing.The smile on his face grew wider, he squat down to her level. "I'm sorry I scared you. You should be happy to see me, we haven't seen each other for a week now." Alicia was scared, the looks in his eyes is making her want to scream for help, but she can't possibly let him Know he's scaring her.He kept his gaze on her trying to figure out what she was thinking, but it was like she's inscrutable, he couldn't understand her expression. "Look Jake, I don't have to be happy just by seeing you, we're no friends, our parents are just business partners and that's all. If you want to be friends you
Alicia kept rummaging her closet looking for an outfit to put on, she picked out some and start to test which to put on. She pick a red high waist dress but shoved it aside. Pick another but still didnt fit her test. Each one she picks turns out to be something she doesn't want. After testing them for what feels like forever, she finally picked a skinny jean and tank top. She was about going into the bathroom to shower when her phones light turn on, notifying she has a message. She picked it up and check who it's from, her gaze landed on the name, and a smile appeared on her face, she read the message with the smile grewing wider on her face. "Hey kitty still mad at me? I'm sorry please. Wink" She was so happy that she jump on her bed and start to play like a kid. She halt and replied back. "Yes still mad at you, write an apology letter, telling me how much you love me. I need a favor also, I'm looking for an outfit to put on, care to help?" After typing she press sent. She dropped h
"Goodness so that's why you didn't want to tell me." Alicia said. But nethean was still laughing at her. Just like he thought, she would want to go back, that was why he kept it from her. He miss going there and thought it would be fun to go with her. "I'm sorry okay, I miss going there, and I wanted to go there with you, I bet you will love it." He said hoping to convince her.She was happy she's with him, she would go as far as he wants as long as she's next to him. "I will go wherever you want me to, as long as you're not far from me." She opened her mouth to say it but closed it back."It's okay, but we still have an hour thirty minutes drive to get there." She said."Yes, I'm tired of driving already." He said and his phone start to ring, he used the opportunity to pack the car at the side of the road, and pulled out his phone. "It's Scott.""Pick up." He nod and put the call on speaker."Hey dude, I can't believe you ditch me for a girl, it's not even up to a day you guys starte
