Nancy took her time explaining to her grandpa, telling him what Yaacob had done for her to reassure him she was well looked after.Just as she was finishing, Yaacob came in with the medicine.As Yaacob took longer than expected to return, Nancy could only guess that he must have lingered outside the ward on purpose for her to say all the good stuff about him.Then again, she could tell that he was doing the best that he could by how he was treating her grandpa. The old man had a lot of phlegm, and Yaacob did not flinch in the slightest or see any sign of irritation when holding the trash bin. Nancy had to admit that he was a rare catch in this day and age.As they left the hospital, Nancy said, "Do you know that you gave a whole new meaning to how to be the best husband? My grandpa said he adores you!"Upon hearing that, Yaacob stared at her for a bit and said slowly, "You know that's not true. I can see his anxiety written all over his face."Sometimes a smart ass could be so ha

"I can't tell for sure," Benjamin said.Nancy was at a loss of words."She had gone missing, therefore I have no idea," Benjamin elaborated further."Missing?""Yes, she's been missing for more than twenty years, and I've been looking for her ever since," said BenjaminHe left the wine in the middle of the table untouched since dinner started. He only reached for it then and poured himself a glass."Do you have any news regarding her whereabouts thus far?" Nancy asked.Benjamin did not respond but continued to drink to smooth his sorrow.As such, the conversation ended there.By the time dinner ended, Benjamin was drunk and unconscious. His chauffeur had to help him out of the room.Fortunately, a true gentleman would always be a gentleman, whether drunk or sober. He did not lapse into a drunken stupor nor throw up all over. All he did was fall asleep.After Nancy gave the chauffeur a hand in helping Benjamin into his car, the chauffeur politely asked, "Ms. Lawson, why don't

Yaacob's phone suddenly vibrated when he was about to get into an important agenda. He showed annoyance and was about to terminate the call when he saw who the caller was. His expression changed immediately.Five minutes later, the meeting was suspended.Yaacob left the conference room to return the call in the spacious corner by the corridor."Hello? Any news?" Yaacob blurted out anxiously as soon as the call was connected."Josiah, no, not yet. We may not be able to continue to provide our service. We've given you the lowest fee, seeing that you are Randall's good friend. Seven hundred thousand dollars for the deposit was the agreed sum. However, the remittance we received was short of 100 thousand dollars. This puts us in a difficult position. As you well know, the person you are looking for is declared deceased by the police of the United States. This greatly increases the difficulty of our job," said the private investigator.Yaacob was confused by what he just heard, and he

Nancy was still holding onto the bouquet after arriving at the restaurant and ordering. "Yaacob, do you know the meaning represented by seventeen stalks of roses?" Nancy asked him."No idea.""I searched online, and it meant, forever be with you. Are you confessing your love to me?" Nancy said as she waved her phone to Yaacob.Yaacob smiled and said nothing, pouring a glass of white wine for Nancy."However, it also carried another message, which is merry meet, merry part," Nancy said with a descending voice."The florist was the one who recommended me to buy seventeen stalks of roses. If he wanted to repeat business, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have meant to convey the second message," explained Yaacob."Besides, all those sayings and messages about what the flowers represent are superficial. Flowers themselves won't have a clue that they mean anything else to people, right?" he added.Nancy knew Yaacob had always been eloquent in explaining himself, but she was not at all sa

The next day, Nancy agreed to attend the party. However, she was not going to let the Getsons know about it. Thus, she brought her clothes to the campus and changed after finishing her lectures.As promised, Benjamin would send a driver to pick her up from the campus. Nancy waited at the agreed location.Meanwhile, Lola saw her from the corridor on the first floor. She waved to capture Nancy's attention. "Nancy! Where are you going?"However, Nancy could not hear her. Just then, a car with no car plate number stopped where Nancy was. The driver came down and opened the door for Nancy respectfully.Suspiciously, Lola took out her phone and captured that moment.When Nancy arrived at Benjamin's house, she took a deep breath unconsciously as she stepped out of the car. His house was not as big as the Getson Estate, and the design of the house was more simple and unsophisticated.The thing that shocked her was a sentry around 30 feet apart, and there were two rounds of soldiers stand
