For the past three days, Leah had been trying to forget everything about Adrian and Venetia that had been bothering her so much. She chose to focus on his new job as a marketing manager at a well-known advertising agency in Paris.

Today was Leah's first day at work, she was so nervous that she forgot to eat breakfast. Esmee, Henry's girlfriend, apparently works in finance, so she can't be around Leah all the time. In the end, Leah had to struggle alone to adapt to new people with a language she didn't really understand because even though she had learned to speak French, Leah's ability of the language was still pretty poor.

"We're used to speaking French, so you'd better get used to following our habits," said a marketing staff member curtly, even though she was Leah's subordinate. "Really? Then I'll study French even harder," Leah said, trying to be nice because she didn't want to make a fuss.

    Leah paced all night, not knowing what to do. She was so angry that her chest felt tight. Why did Adrian call her if he just wanted to show off that he was making love?! Was he drunk?! Leah shook her head, deep in her heart she knew Adrian couldn't possibly do such a thing. But Leah couldn't even remember her past entirely, all she remembered were bits and pieces. What if Adrian was not as good as she thought he had been?The digital clock on the nightstand was already 2.30 a.m., but Leah couldn't close her eyes yet. After several hours of wrestling with her thoughts, Leah finally got up the courage to call Adrian who was picked up on the first ring."Leah? Is that you?" said Adrian.Leah scrambled to switch the phone back off in a panic. She suddenly felt confused, she wanted to throw a tantrum and shout at Adrian, but for what reason? Even their relationship was over. But still, how could Adrian do all that!Leah's cell phone rang, Adrian called

    Leah immediately looked away, pretending not to know Damien. Damien who understood why Leah was behaving that way immediately averted his eyes from Leah."So, guys, this is Damien Dupont, he is the CEO of D&D Champagne," said Diana, director of the agency where Leah works. Leah looked up, surprised, CEO? Why would a CEO like Damien live in a modest apartment like Leah's? Very strange...Damien nodded, he introduced some of his staff and then started talking about the new product he was going to release. Leah's concentration was broken, she began to feel something was off.The meeting went smoothly, Leah came up with some ideas she had and tried hard to avoid Damien's gaze throughout the meeting. Until finally the meeting was over and Diana called Leah and asked her to have lunch with Damien. Not inviting, more precisely, forcing.Having no reason because her boss told her to, Leah finally agreed. "We will take a walk, the restaurant we

    Leah was so confused, how could Jerome be free from all charges of money laundering after everything he had done. He even had the strength to throw his adoptive father into prison to covered all his mistakes. Was money controlling all of this?"Beep beep!!!"The horn sounded loud, startling Leah who was crossing the street. "I'm sorry!" cried Leah, half running across the crosswalk. "Stupid tourists!" shouted the driver of the car and then stepped back on the gas pedal making the car go fast.Several people looked at Leah with annoyed looks, Leah covered her face with her hair and she hurriedly walked out of that place. She felt very hungry, but she had no desire to eat. Her mind was on Mindy, would Mindy be okay? And Suzy? What if Jerome took over the mental hospital where Suzy worked?"Leah? Leah? Are you all right?"A voice startled her. Leah squinted her eyes, for a moment she lost her focus because she was too dominated by her thoughts.

    "What happened to you?! Gosh we need to go to the hospital!" screamed Leah frantically. In front of her, Damien appeared to be standing with a deathly pale face. Leah ran inside to get her bag and grabbed Damien's arm which was injured, "Can you walk?" asked Leah. Damien nodded, he winced at the pain in his hand."So what exactly happened?" asked Leah as she made her way down the stairs with difficulty. Damien chuckled, "I was too careless, I put the knife on the table, then I squatted down to clean the floor from the spilled sauce stain, suddenly my cellphone vibrated and nudged the knife so it fell and hit my right hand," Damien replied casually.Leah grimaced, "Why does the wound look so deep? Is the knife that sharp?" she asked as she studied the wound on Damien's hand. "Yeah, pretty sharp. You know the knife to cut Sashimi," Damien said while occasionally grimacing feeling the pulse in his wound which was still bleeding.Down below the apa

    Leah is holding a wooden photo frame with trembling hands, inside the frame there was a portrait of Damien and Jerome teenagers who were wearing baseball jerseys and seem to be smiling at the camera. The photo was set on an unknown baseball field. Leah closed her eyes, not understanding why Damien had kept that photograph. Leah wanted to ask, but she was afraid, she was all alone in Damien's apartment, and she didn't bring her cell phone. What if Damien did something bad to her?Leah chose to put the photo frame back in the drawer and act as nothing happened. From the toilet, she walked nervously to the living room where Damien seemed to be putting two cups of freshly brewed coffee on the table."I've already called Travis, he'll be here in a few minutes, maybe I should buy that kind of tools just in case your door locks again," Damien said half-jokingly, but Leah didn't laugh at all."Take a seat, enjoy your coffee," Damien said cheerfully.

    "Leah? Is that you?" Adrian's voice on the other side made Leah felt comfortable. "Yes Ad, it's me..." she replied almost in a whisper. "Why did you call the office? Did you delete my cell phone number?" said Adrian. Leah was silent, organizing her messy feelings. She hated herself so much for always depending on Adrian. Hadn't she already cut ties with Adrian? She should have stopped involving Adrian with all the problems in her life."Leah? You still there? Is everything all right?" asked Adrian. Unable to bear the guilt that filled her chest, Leah decided to just end the call. She slumped on the floor, hugging herself. She was desperate, not knowing what to do.Who is Damien? Why did he have a picture together with Jerome? Were they friends? Leah wanted to ask Adrian a lot about it, but Adrian would immediately feel worried. And Leah didn't want that to happen. She did not want to involve Adrian in any business in her life. It would be very unfair

    "The pizza will be delivered soon, now tell me everything?" Adrian sat on the sofa next to Leah who looked much thinner from losing nearly three kilograms during her stay in Paris.Leah took a deep breath, she began to recount the beginning of her accidental encounter with Damien at the bakery so that coincidences happened so often that they didn't make sense. Then she ended her story with a portrait she found in a drawer near the wine cellar in Damien's apartment, "So whose photo was it?" asked Adrian, his face strained. Just hearing Damien try to get close to Leah already made him angry."Damien and Jerome," Leah's answer made Adrian widen in disbelief. He almost dropped the phone in his hand because he was too shocked. "Are you sure? I mean, were the portraits so clear that you can recognize them?" raved Adrian, tensed. Leah nodded, "Their faces haven't changed much, although the photo may have been taken when they were teenagers, their faces

    Adrian peeked through the hole in the door, his face shocked for a moment. "Who is that?" Leah asked almost whispering. Adrian walked slowly back to the sofa, "It's Damien, I don't think he knows if I'm here," spoke Adrian. They stared at each other in silence, then an idea popped into Adrian's head, "Let him in, I'll hide in the closet, lure him with all the things you want to know, don't worry I'll take care of you," whispered Adrian, Leah nodded then she opened the wardrobe and let Adrian got into it. "Put this in too!" whispered Leah, holding out Adrian his small suitcase.The bell still ringing, Leah put away a few beer cans and a pizza box. She only left 1 box of pizza and two cans of beer so Damien wouldn't get suspicious. After catching her breath, Leah opened the door. In front of her was Damien who was waiting impatiently."What are you doing here?" asked Leah curtly. Damien rubbed his face, "What the hell happened Leah? Why did you act weird last

"Leah Parker, first, I would like to thank you personally because you dare to write your story to the world through your novel, I read it by the way, and it's just very mind-blowing!" said the host which was a beautiful middle-aged woman named Katherine.

She could see the hustle and bustle of Manhattan below her."What do you want to know?" asked Adrian, somehow Leah could hear the fatigue in his tone that made her offended. She turned her body, "You make it sounds like I'm the one who brought the problem here!"Adrian rubbed his face, he exhaled violently, "Leah, come on! Please, don't make it difficult for me, the only reason I hid that fact was that I don't want you to be reacting this way! You'll be too sensitive and jealous without a reason," he said. Leah snorted, "So now it's officially my fault? Perfect! I know exactly that the past is past! But I demanded your honesty! Talking about jealousy, even you acted that way every time you saw

    "I'm sure it's all just a misunderstanding, Leah you're currently married, you have to face all problems more wisely," said Suzy softly. Leah sighed, "Yeah you're right, I don't know lately I've been very sensitive, maybe because of my pregnancy hormones," said Leah, staring at her cellphone which was filled with calls from Adrian."You have to answer Adrian's call, he must be really worried about you," Suzy moved her chin towards Leah's cellphone which was still vibrating. Leah bit her lip, Suzy was right she is a wife, she should be more mature."I'll take this," Leah got up from the sofa, walking towards the tiny balcony that Suzy had beautifully arranged."Leah? Where are you? Are you okay, listen! I'm sorry, okay? I'll explain everything! Tell me where you are?"Hearing Adrian's worried voice made Leah burst into tears. For almost two minutes she just kept crying without saying anything. On the other side, Adrian apologized many times,

    "Leah, what are you doing here?" asked Adrian coldly. Leah shrugged, "Just having lunch and accidentally bumped into Luke," Leah replied casually. She picked up the meat with chopsticks and ate it casually. As if she didn't care about Adrian and the oriental woman there."Didn't you say you weren't going anywhere this morning?" asked Adrian, still frowning in annoyance to see Leah with Luke.Leah shrugged,"Maybe Donna forgot to tell you, but earlier I came to your office to bring lunch, but it seems that you are busy with this woman, so I decided to eat here alone because the baby in my stomach is hungry," Leah babbled without looking at Adrian.Adrian looks surprised."You were at the office? Why didn't you tell me? Donna was not at her desk, I think she was having lunch so she forgot to tell me, Ummm Leah this is Lily, umm my client," Adrian introduced Leah to the oriental woman who was next to Leah.Leah looked at the orienta

    Leah looked at Donna suspiciously,"Is there something you're hiding from me?" asked Leah narrowing her eyes. Donna shook her head, "What am I going to hide from you?" Donna said with a small laugh. Leah shrugged, "I don't know, maybe Adrian is having an affair with another woman or something," she mumbled as she tiptoed, trying to peek into Adrian's study, but all she could see was just a handbag.Donna laughed, "Adrian? Cheating on you? That's as impossible as a human mission to Mars!" Donna joked, but she quickly grabbed Leah's hand, "Let's go to the Coffee shop, this meeting really can't be interrupted," she said quickly. Leah still occasionally glanced around the room, wondering."So who is he meeting with?" Leah asked when she and Donna were in the elevator. Donna had a nervous look on her face. "Umm with an important client," Donna answered, which didn't help at all to allay Leah's suspicions.Leah suddenly remembered the woman's To

    Leah entered the Penthouse, she tried to think of something else, but her mind kept going back to Adrian and the oriental woman at the Chinese restaurant earlier. Should she just call Adrian so she doesn't feel suspicious?Finally, Leah dialed Adrian's number, which had just been picked up after the fourth ring."Yes baby?" said Adrian straightforwardly."What time are you coming home?" Leah asked carefully."Probably in two hours, what's wrong honey?" he asked hastily. Leah bit her lip, looking for an excuse."Leah?""Umm I'm in the mood for Chinese food, I didn't have time to buy it when I went out," Leah finally found an excuse to provoke Adrian, to tell the truth."Okay! I'll buy it for you, I'll hang up the phone, okay, my client has come, love you!" chirped Adrian, not long after the call ended.Leah closed her eyes, dispelling the suspicion that had filled her head.

    "So who's that Lily from Shanghai?" teased Leah after Adrian shut her phone. Adrian laughed, "She was just a friend I met a long time ago, she said she read the news about my marriage, and congratulate me that's all," said Adrian casually. "Ohh I see," replied her tried not to sound jealous."So, we're going to stay in the room at 65 floors until our house is ready to use, you don't mind, right?" asked Adrian, putting back his suits on his body. Leah shrugged, "I can sleep anywhere as long as it's not a pigsty," joked Leah made Adrian chuckled.*****They walked hand in hand inside the store, arguing about which sofa was better.

    "Hi, Baby, bonjour! How do you feel?" Adrian touched Leah's cheek softly. Leah opened her eyes, she smiled, "I'm feeling better..." she answered turned her face to Adrian who sighed a sigh of relief. Last night was pretty tense and Adrian was so worried about it. But her mom told her that Leah had that pregnancy hormones thing which involved in all her moods, so Vivian guessed that Leah would get better in the morning and her guessing was right."Breakfast!" Adrian pulled the trolley closer to the bed. Leah frowned, "You don't have to do this, I can walk myself to the dining room," she said. Adrian grinned, "I wanted to serve you like this, at least once every week, you don't mind right?" teased Adrian touching Leah's chin.
