Chapter 239

Author: Cozy Season
Outside the Sapphire Hotel, Leanna escorted Shelia inside.

"Come, have a seat," she said, finding a spot not far from where Juan was seated.

Debra, hearing Leanna's voice, spoke to Juan. "I'm going to the restroom. I'll be back soon."

"Okay," Juan replied, his eyes following her as she stood up and walked away.

Leanna leaned in, her voice reassuring as she spoke to Shelia. "Today's gathering must have been overwhelming for you, right? You're just an intern. It's tough for you to join us for drinks."

Despite her comforting tone, she kept a keen eye on Shelia's expression.

Ever since Shelia entered the restaurant, her eyes had been scanning the hall, searching for Juan.

It didn't take long for her to spot him, seated amidst a group of business bosses in the center of the room. A glint appeared in Shelia's eyes.

These days, no matter what she did, she couldn't get through to Juan. Even Joe had stopped answering her calls. If Leanna hadn't mentioned the Sapphire Hotel often housed

    Someone called out to her, "Liza, wake up."She blinked awake and saw Fermin standing in front of her.It was dark, just the two of them in the room.Her tears spilled out. She hugged him, sobbing, "I saw Garland, Dad, and Mom."She had never met Marian in person. Marian's image was frozen in photos.But in that dream, she saw her parents, like it was real."Silly girl, it was only a dream." Fermin's voice was soft.Liza cried harder. "I had so much I wanted to say to them."Fermin patted her back. "It's okay. Don't cry.""But...""When happiness is right there, nobody cherishes it. You only regret it when it's gone. Even if you stayed in the dream, you wouldn't feel the pain of reality. Bouncing between dreams and reality just traps you deeper."He wanted Liza to live happily in the real world. He didn't want her to be stuck in a fake dream's joy.Fake was fake. Dreams always ended, and waking up could break her.That night, Liza cried for hours. Fermin stayed, soothing h

    "Alone, sir?" the manager asked."Nobody else showed up?" Garland asked."No, sir. It's been empty." The manager tried to usher him in.Garland hesitated, somewhat upset about Drake's stunt.He took out his phone and called Liza. "What is going on? You didn't set up the meeting with Drake?""I texted him.""Did he reply?""Nope, but nobody turns down my invitation.""You win. I'm done."He hung up, and the manager asked, "Still dining, sir?""Hell yeah. I spent half a month's allowance on this," he replied.To impress everyone, he had booked the whole place. If he'd known Drake wouldn't show, he would have picked a cheap diner.That afternoon, he told Liza what happened.When she heard Drake blow her off, she was livid. "That jerk! How dare he ignore me?""Yeah. Pissed me off too. I ate too much for lunch," Garland hiccupped.Liza's face darkened further. "If Dad were here, he would have been begging for forgiveness.""Totally. Who'd dare cross you? They'd be toast," Ga

    Fermin took a work call. He agreed to something, then hung up.Looking at Liza's eager face, he sighed, "Got work. Let Garland handle the family meeting.""No way. He'll just embarrass me!" Liza protested.Though Garland and Fermin looked alike, their vibes were night and day. People familiar with them could easily tell them apart."It's just a smackdown. I'll send a backup." Fermin pinched her cheek. "Go on.""But...""No argument, or I'm telling Mom and Dad you agreed to an engagement behind their backs. Where's your sense of class?"She wanted to argue, but the secretary opened the door. "Miss, this way."Liza left reluctantly and headed downstairs.Garland was still cleaning up the kitchen. She sized him up and sighed.Garland and Fermin had the same handsome face and nice voice, but their vibes were totally different."Got kicked out, huh? Did Fermin chew you out?" he smirked. "Bet he was like, 'You brat, who said you could get engaged behind my back? I'll break your le

    Garland leaned over, sensing gossip. "What? It went bust?""What do you think?" Liza sulked."Guy's no good?" Garland raised a brow. "No way. I checked him out. He is quite solid. Did your high standards scare him off?""I'm still young. Why do I need a blind date?" Liza protested. "He is already out of college and too old for me.""Age doesn't matter. He's hot, isn't he?" Garland shrugged. "Mom and Dad are off traveling. Nobody's here to back you up. I'm half-useless, and Fermin is swamped. Deal with it yourself."As he turned back to his cooking, Liza grabbed him. "No way. I told him I'm in, and we're setting a date soon."Garland's jaw dropped. "What? You agreed?""Didn't you say it's my call? What's the big deal?""I... It was just a meet-and-greet. Why'd you lock it in? Scared you'll end up an old maid?"A burning smell hit, and he waved her off. "Go make Fermin deal with the parents. I'm not cleaning up your mess."He bolted to the kitchen to put out the fire. "Verna, i

    Liza opened her mouth, trying to argue.Then she stopped herself, remembering Bert showing her Drake's photo. Indeed, she had chosen him."Well, I thought you looked decent in the picture. But in person? Meh," she snorted, trying to save face.She just couldn't remember if she had picked him for this blind date. He looked good, but his character? Doubtful.At the same time, she couldn't shake the feeling that they had met before. She just couldn't place it."If there's nothing else, I'm out. Thanks for the meal, Miss Eaton." Drake stood to leave.Liza gaped. "You're just leaving?""What else?" Drake said coolly. "I'm busy. I don't have time to hang out and shop with you."Liza chased after him. "Hold up. What's that supposed to mean?""Sorry if I upset you." Drake looked annoyed but stayed polite, as his mom had instructed. "I've got stuff to do. Bye.""Wait!" Liza blocked his path, hands on his hips. "I changed my mind. I think you're kind of interesting. I'm down to get eng

    Liza crept into Fermin's study.He was at a company meeting, so the room was empty.His desk was tidy, with just a computer, some files, and a family photo. The picture showed the three of them, looking happy.Liza smiled softly.Bert had passed peacefully, knowing his kids could hold the fort.Even though he was gone, he lived on in their hearts.Liza opened the drawer and found the potion. Then she snuck back to her room and studied the bottle. "Weird. No instructions?"She inspected it, then sniffed it. "It's called a potion, so I should drink it, right?"Figuring a sip wouldn't hurt, she took a gulp and grimaced.It tasted awful, like chugging perfume. That explained why Fermin wouldn't invest in it.Soon, drowsiness hit. She slumped onto the sofa and passed out.In her dream, she felt floaty. It was a whole new experience.A voice came, "This is Mr. Sampson, a rising star in business. And this is Miss Eaton."Liza opened her eyes and found herself at a table in a five
