After Lucia came back from the bathroom, Jeal went to her and said. " I've looked into the call you had earlier about being a body double. " " And guess what I found out." As soon as she said that Lucia knew that it wasn't a friend but rather, a foe. And only one name could come to mind... Renata. " it was Renata, right?" It's only that mother and daughter duo who will try to sabotage her. " yup. it's her... I don't know what her motive is for letting you be her body double." " but I'm hundred percent sure that it's not for a good reason." Renata is definitely not a saint that will help her elder sister. There has to be a reason for her trying to lure her into going in for that role. If it was before Pablo got support from Mr Leon, then she would just keep ignoring her. But now that Pablo is going to be okay, she has nothing to fear anymore. They want her to be a body double? Then she'll give them a performance that they'll never forget! Jael looked at Lucia and smirked. She knew that
Jael and Lucia were in the dorm lazying about as they didn't have any lectures in the evening.Jael felt so bored that she started making plans for their upcoming graduation." So what do you think we should wear to our graduation?" Should we go out to shop for clothes? "" I'm really bored as it is." Let's go tomorrow ok?" she said as she held Lucia's hand and began to swing it about like a kid asking for candy.Lucia was amused by how enthusiastic she could be at times. but she was happy that at least she had someone like Jael who would always try her possible best to make her laugh." okay, okay... let's go look around tomorrow after lectures." she said after Jael made so many cute faces that was so funny she contain her laughter anymore.Jael got a call as they were talking. Looking at the number that was calling, she frowned." what do these people want again at this time? Didn't they already tell us to go over in two days time for the shoot?"The call ended without Jael picking u
Renata walked to the gown she saw as soon as she entered, so she was not aware of the people inside." Johnny, I'll go try this on first."" hhm" Johnny answered. Then he looked around as well.A few minutes later, Renata walked out of the changing room. " Johnny, how do I look?"she asked.Johnny was stunned for a moment when he saw Renata in that dress. For some reason that even he was not aware of, he pictured Lucia in the dress. She would look more beautiful in this dress. As he thought about this, he smiled.Renata saw him smile as he looked absent-minded. He definitely wasn't looking at her, but was thinking about that vixen Lucia. Even when they're no more together, he still thinks of her.She was going to make sure that he forgets that Lucia for good this time. She thought as she dug her finger nails into her palm so much that it hurt her.She intentionally cleared her throat to draw him back.Johnny looked at Renata, coming back to his senses." it looks pretty on you."Renata
The sales girls could tell that Renata didn’t like her sister, so they wanted to get into her good books by helping her teach this " sister " of hers a lesson. One of them said flatteringly, “Ms. Renata, who is she? Is she really your sister? ” Another one echoed on and said " yeah, are you sure she's not some imposter? Because she looks nothing like you at all. " " Maybe she's an illegitimate daughter. " another echoed.Lucia looked at them like clowns and laughed in her heart. This fools only know how to bootlick. " you are wrong " she said as she walked back to where they are. " I'm the legal wife's daughter. whereas she .... " she didn't complete her sentence but the sales girls immediately caught on to what she was insinuating. They realised that they may have said the wrong words and made the wrong person angry.Sure enough as they turned to look at Renata, they saw her face cloud over. One of them tried to say something to make Lucia look bad infront of Renata, just to get on her
He turned to the manager and said " clear out all those that look down on people just because of their background. We don't need people like that to purchase from our store."Forward this met to all our other stores, they won't not be allowed into any of our stores, as well as any of the stores that has partnership with us."Then he held Lucia's hand and left after taking the card from the cashier who had her mouth opened to the extent that a whole egg could fit in.Jael who came with Lucia, looked on with surprise as well. But beyond surprise she was happy that someone came to stand up for Lucia. She followed them out as she smugly looked over at Renata, Johnny and the sales girls who were bad-mouthing them.The manager censured them coldly." Go for your paycheck and don't step foot in here anymore. " He then asked security to escort them out. The girls looked at him with paled expressions.Two of them saw that things didn't go as they thought and started to look in Renata's direction
Leon headed straight to a private room on the second floor. Judging by the decoration, you could tell at a glance that it was a private room specially made for the wealthy upper class.Leon pulled up a chair for Lucia y his side. She was surprised at first, but sat down. Then PA Wilson sat down with Jael as well.“Order whatever you want to eat.” He said as he handed over the menu to her.”Lucia looked at him, puzzled. Is he not the one who said he hasn’t eaten yet, why then is he giving the menu to her to order? She picked up the menu and ordered some light dishes, then passed the menu back to him. Leon also chose some random menus and passed the menu back to the waiter.Both PA Wilson and Jael “…..”Wilson looked at Leon as if saying “boss, is it good to kick me to the curb right after I helped you?” Jael also looked at him and smiled. This man only sees Lucia and no one else. He even pushed his PA aside. But that is good too. At least it shows how much he cared about Lucia. That was
Boss really likes Miss Lucia to be able to go through all this. He's never seen him this focused on a woman. He was quite the opposite. He always stayed away from them, showing how much he seem to care about anything concerning Miss Lucia.Leon sat on a bench in the corridor with the rest. He looked over at Lucia who seemed to be sitting quietly but had the word"worried" written all over her face.He knew he didn't have to console her, as she knows her limit.Just like that the group sat down for another 5hours until the red light above the OR went off. Lucia stood up as soon as she saw the nurses pushing Pablo out of the OR. Seeing his pale face, she couldn't stop a tear from rolling out of her eye. She knew that her brother must have suffered a lot from the time he came to this hospital until this surgery. But she was happy that at least the first and most difficult stage is over now.Ivan walked out after the nurses and looked at the people who have been sitting out here for over 8h
Lucia noticed that at the mention of home, Pablo seems to have deflated.She squatted in front of him and said “You’re moving to my new apartment. It’s near my university. You’ll be living with me from now on. Auntie Pam will be taking care of you on days that I have a class. But you’ll have to move to a new school.”“Really?” Pablo was surprised as well as happy to hear that he didn’t have to go to that house again.“But my school is far from the university.”“You don’t have to worry about that. There is a school about 40km from the university. He can enroll there.”Pablo looked at Lucia for a second and said to Leon “I’ll listen to sis.”“Okay.”They all went down and completed the discharge procedure. Then drove to Lucia’s new apartment.A week later Pablo started a new school. Lucia and Jael had two more months to graduate and had a lot of papers to write before that. Everybody was busy with something, but they were all happy for a first time in the past few months.Leon stopped by
“I didn’t think that this cute little Lolita would be such a bully. As expected of a princess of a rich family. They always feel they’re above everyone else.” Jael lamented as they made their way downstairs.“Let’s just mind our business while we’re here. We only have six months to perfect our courses before we debut.”“Yeah, I’m aware of that.” Jael pouted.it’s not like we’ll be the ones looking for trouble anyway. I just hope some people won’t come looking for our trouble.”Going downstairs and out of the building, they walked towards the main building. Before they got to the main building, though, they had to pass by the male dormitory.As they turned into a corner facing the main building, they bumped into a teenage boy who was between fifteen and seventeen years old, trying to run away from some people.“I’m sorry… I’m really sorry.” He shouted as he left them and climbed up the window of the basement of the male dorm building. Just as Jael was about to shout after him, a group
Lucia entered Pablo’s room after taking a shower. Looking at the young boy snuggled under a blanket, a fleeting smile formed at the corners of her lips. She sat on a chair beside his bed and arranged his blanket, covering him properly.Thinking of what Johnny said today, she couldn’t be more grateful to Leon. There was no harm in moving on with her life. And in these past few months, Leon has always been around to keep things in order in her life. He has basically taken care of everything concerning both her and Pablo, even to the extent that all those around her who have been good to her are also secretly getting help from him. For instance, Auntie Pam’s grandson, who just finished college and was in search of work, suddenly got an appointment letter from a company in her hometown.She was ready to finally move on. She would no longer dwell on the past. With this thought in mind, she kissed Pablo good night and walked out, closing the door gently behind her.Very soon, a call came in
Sundown district… As the main gate opened, the car entered the drive way and drove towards the garage. As it passed by the fountain, the noticed two cars parked in the drive way. One was an unfamiliar car, but the other one even if burnt to ashes Leon would be able to identify it. The atmosphere immediately changed. His aura became so cold; you would think hades just descended from hell. Even the chauffeur could feel his bones tremble. He didn’t know why the old master was here, but it definitely wasn’t for something good. He parked the car in the garage and left as soon as he switched off the engine. He didn’t want to be at the cross fire of both masters. Though he wondered why the old master would go out of his way to come visit this grandson. It’s been close to eight years since he last met him. Of course it was the young master that refused to see him. After all, what happened back then was a very huge issue that cost the young master the life of a person he valued the most.
Lucia on the other hand walked towards Leon while everyone’s eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. Who is this lady that can just walk towards Leon without being pushed aside by his cold aura? As Lucia got closer, she couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous. Especially after what happened between them the other night. They have actually not communicated since that night. She didn’t know how to face him. Leon stood up as Lucia approached. Everyone around them held their breathe when this happened. This young master was really pissed this time. He isn’t even giving his best friend face and is about to walk away. Even Lucia was baffled as to why he’s suddenly stood up. As everyone was thinking this, the man in question walked towards Lucia, and pulled her into his arms.The people in the room “……!!!?” What the h*ll just happened? What did they just witness?! Did Leon, who was as cold and emotionless as an ice mountain… did he just hug a woman in front of them? This was like a moun
Jael broke the silence by exclaiming “Is my male god here as well?” she turned to Lucia who looked more surprised than she was, judging from how red her face was at the moment.The other two girls looked at each other. From the conversation of these two, they could tell that Lucia’s boyfriend was here in this club as well. And was even seated in the VIP room. It just shows how influential this person was. They couldn’t help but be more curious as to who he really is. Lucia pushed her hair behind her ear, indicating that she was nervous and expectant as well. She hoped to see Leon, at the same time she was nervous of him entering their private room, with her friends around. “I don’t know. He didn’t say anything about coming here.” She replied Jael. Maybe he came here for business as well.” “Well, you may be right… But he could be here because a certain someone is here.” Jael smirked as she said mischievously. Lucia glared at her, abashed. She also wanted to know why Leon was there
These were their roommates and she thought to just invite them, since they didn’t have any more friends. Who would have thought that they were this brainless? Lucia ignored them. These girls were very superficial. They only cared about fancy cloths and big brands. She wasn’t very close with them, but just because they shared a room and the fact that they didn’t have anybody else to invite, she didn’t mind it when Jael wanted to invite them. Anyway, it’ll end after today. They walked into the pub. As they walked inside, Ronnie Ann gasped at the beautiful and luxurious decoration. It wasn’t too high profile, but you could see that a lot of effort had been put into making it this cool. No wonder a lot of bigshots come here for business purposes. It makes one feel comfortable. A bar hostess immediately led them to their private room as soon as Lucia gave her name. She took them to a private room on the second floor. After entering, Ronnie Ann and the other roommate started to order. Jael l
Lucia whose kiss has been stolen for the second time in the night, stared at the man’s back as he walked out of the apartment. What just happened? She didn’t agree to be his woman! She unconsciously touched her lip that has just been kissed and recalled the scene that took place a few minutes ago and her face started to burn from shyness again. His lips really were soft.As she was still in dream land, she didn’t know that Jael had come out of her room until she saw a light flash before her eyes. Jael took a picture of her dazed expression as she stood there with her hand on her lip. Lucia snapped out of her daze and realized that Jael had taken a picture of her just now.“What are you doing? Delete it right now.” She said as she tried to take the phone from her.“How was the kiss? Tell me all about it.”“What kiss? It was an accident.”“Accident? I saw everything just now. Including him perking you again and saying; “You are my woman from now on.” Jael tried to mimic Leon.“He didn’t
