She knew the music Lawrence listens to when he was said, the place he loves going when he is happy, his favorite sports and games, she knew down to a few friends he visit, his colleagues at work too, but this lady was unfamiliar. “She…” Chloe pursed her lips and Katherine’s forehead creased, she could see she was reluctant to tell me who the lady was. “Chloe, what do you know about her?” Olivia asked seeing that

This time, tears clustered in Olivia’s eyes, she had come to see him, she knew about the risk, but she came anyways, but now--- “Honey, what is wrong?” The lady who had come with him walked close to Lawrence and linked arms with him immediately she came and Olivia glanced at their arms. “It’s nothing to worry about.” Lawrence quickly flashed her a smile, a smile Olivia noticed he had never shown her since she returned from Hawaii.

I guess she can handle her liquor. That had been the reason he had stayed here and listen to her crap, but now that she was fine, he knew he had to leave.He turned around to leave, walking slowly away from her, but halt when he suddenly heard her stop sobbing, he turned around and his eyes dilated when he watched her about to put her leg on the rail.Asher quickly rushed over, dropping the wine glass as it shattered on the ground, he grabbed the back of her dress and pulled her back and she leaned on his body in a back hug.“Hey! Are you crazy?!” He shouted and pulled her away from his body as he glanced at her face with a frown. “Why would you want to k
