“IS that even necessary?”Adriella a bit protested after that not-so-surprising kiss that Sam did. “Don’t be like that mom, just let them enjoy the moment. Besides, Cath won your two challenges already.”Lindsey reminded Adriella with that knowing smile that Adriella knew that her daughter had something to do with why. Giving those tips that are not unknown to her, and which she also doesn’t want to pry on Lindsey. “Fine.”She gave up, but that only moment, which Lindsey even more excitedly giggles. “I will just be outside for a moment.”Jun suddenly excuses himself. Nadia knew why. Letting him, Nadia couldn’t help but be down and a bit jealous. Think that Jun is affected by what just happened, and Sam kissing Cath in front of them. “Nadia.”Lindsey whispers, calling Nadia’s attention which Nadia immediately recognizes. “What?”They both started talking in a whisper and more with their facial expression that their little click only knew what it all means. “Go.”Lindsey moves her
HEEDING Lindsey’s facility rather than a request. Nadia ends up following Jun, composing herself and immediately. Being herself and that bit nosy one that the detective knew about her. “Is everything alright?”The standard question that everyone would ask in times like this. Which admittingly Lindsey got from all the romantic movies and romantic-comedy ones that she benches watching while she is stressed from work or her personal life.“What’s with the question?”Jun immediately got her, which is not that difficult knowing her and being a detective himself. “Nothing.” Nadia nudges it and acts a bit fidgety, but still in her usual demeanor. “Nothing. It’s just that—”“I knew it.”Jun immediately cut her, chuckling and giving the fact that he knew all along what she is thinking. “I am fine, I just need some air that’s all.”‘HE’S LYING'. The words pop immediately inside Nadia’s mind. For she is more than sure enough that Jun is not being true to his feelings from that very point. A
WITH the facts, details, and pieces of evidence that they got so far regarding Francis and his grand scheme. Cath is bothered by one thing, the other invitation that she got the other day which she needed to act upon and fast. “But first things first.”She immediately added with the expression that Nadia and Jun knew that it could be or it is both troubles or not. “Is there something more?”Jun immediately asks, worried and much more eager to know what Cath is about to say. Knowing that it can help them or not one way or another. His worried tone and expression that Nadia isn’t fond of seeing from him. With that lingering jealousy that she knew she doesn’t have the right to have. “More if you will say so.” Cath immediately agrees in a certain way that worried and at the same time intrigued Jun even more. “I got this just yesterday.”She immediately hands the invitation that she got from the group of men with suits that somehow are high profile guards of someone powerful, but she k
“AND you are all set.”Nadia confidently smiles, knowing that this will be an easy task for Cath. For the journalist who once turns into a detective, and build her career from scratch, Sam had no idea what became of Cath after all those years. “Wish me luck.”Cath smiles with a wink of confidence that Nadia approves, but says the opposite. “You do not need such luck and you know that.”A bit of dissing, yet Cath is all used to such from her. Cath immediately went their way according to plan. Leaving the mansion with the two of them with the reasoning of revisiting some places and having a girl’s day out that Sam didn’t think of much. “They left the mansion in time, and I am currently tailing the car that they are in, Sir.”Or is it?“Good. Continue doing so and inform every thirty minutes.”He cut the call immediately. The moment when a knock is heard on his office door and he let his secretary in. “Come in.”With a few documents at hand, Brian fixed his glasses and looked at the
“AS you guess it! Well, it's the pattern that every businessman does when it comes to their rival in business. CEO Samuel Lawrence is digging everything up about you.”With a confident smile and eyes that screams that he had the upper hand in the game that he started. Targeting one person to take everything including the girl. A sinister smile draws on his face, while looking at the city from his office glass wall, he smirks at the words that follow. “Let him be, and let's see if he will find out who am I. In that way maybe he will remember who I am.”Marks with the vengeance that his rival will never see it coming. His smile is making that fact known, that everything will not end until he is satisfied with his revenge. “By the way, I already collected everything of the information that you needed. Down from the smallest little detail. Samuel Lawrence's dirt, tricks, past, and schemes.”The proud smile of his business partner and more like someone who is more than dedicated to seei
“LINDSEY—”“Shhh!”Lindsey immediately hushes her husband Harry for disturbing her on her investigation regarding the person who happens to save Cath during one of the challenges that Adriella gave. “Why are you so invested in that? For all we know, he is just a random guy who happened to be there at the right time and help Cath.”Harry’s reason and deduction. Convincing Lindsey to stop investigating someone and invading their privacy might put her in trouble in the end. “I do not think so.”Lindsey insist and had a little bit to engross with that stuff for a while. Wherein Harry was able to pull her out of it from last night’s celebration. “Aren’t you too invested in your brother’s life?”Harry pointed the fact out that Lindsey even proudly agrees with it. “You know what happened to Sam when his marriage fails. I do not want to see him like that ever again.”Her firm resolve and the reason why she is both on the side of her older brother and best friend. Kept their secrets from e
“ONE way or another, I will find who you are.”Lindsey’s words and determination. More than the person who is in the situation, she immediately drives her car to the place where the orphanage is. Hitting the gas, she speeds up to get to the said place and fast. “Yes, Lindsey Lawrence speaking.”She immediately accepts the call through her Bluetooth headset and receives the words from her stepmother Adriella. “Mom.”A bit alerted, for she didn’t expect Adriella to call her at this time. Especially since Adriella knew that she is currently in the office of their construction company together with Harry.“You called?”She calms herself, thinking of the perfect reason to tell her. “Where are you?” Adriella’s voice from the other end of the call. “I called Harry’s secretary thinking that you two are together, but he informs me that neither one of you went to the office.”Adriella’s suspicion and sharp intuition Lindsey admits is a disadvantage in this situation. Especially she assures h
“I SEE. Sorry to bother your meeting with your team. By the way, call me when you are done with your work. We still need to prepare for the Governor’s party.”With the assurance that she heard from Sam and the fact that Harry is with him along with Brian. She is left with assurance and confidence in that fact. The thing that remains now is the urgency to show herself in front of her future daughter-in-law.“Let’s see how you will handle things, Catherine Wayne.”Now looking at the information that is not that hard for her to dig and find out. He clicks her tongue and smiles knowingly, taking all her plans to a halt and even changing since the woman that her son choose is someone that is more than meets the eye. “A journalist, a nanny, and my son’s woman. Which one is the real you? Or perhaps none of those things, Catherine?”With a threatening voice and a disappointed look. She throws the folder that contains all the information that she had, sliding it on top of her table and showin
