Like the still that comes after a storm the place was saddled with silence, glances exchanged and no one was ready to speak.“How is that possible?” Gerow finally spoke up, his words echoing like a loud shatter in the hall.Soon chatters filled the hall as everyone couldn’t wait to hear how the disgrace of an Eddie was able to get such a beautiful lady in his clutches.Even though the words that she just spewed from her mouth sent shockwaves down Eddie’s spine, he was able to assume a really strange calm as he went further to say.But before he could get to spit out a word from his mouth, Sophia walked elegantly to him, crawling her hands into his wrist.“Perfect together as couples right?” she said.Though her words were thrown into the air, it caused a sudden stair in the hall.Another gasp escaped from their lips. Clara who had always assumed a really strange calm could feel herself boiling over with rage.The jealousy already creeping down her spine as all the attention that was

For a while, no one spoke and only glances were exchanged between the both of them until they could hear the steady beats of their racing hearts.When the silence finally became unbearable, Eddie finally decided to speak up."Whoever sent them must have a lot to hide and most be very powerful too for a group of men to end their lives just to protect a deep secret." He said.Eddie had been in the world of martials acts for quite a while and that situation had only evolved only in a few cases.Even though Sophia went down memory lane, it was still difficult for her to pinpoint anyone who would eagerly want her dead."And this was our only chance of getting to know who is behind all of this." She said as a slight sigh escaped from her mouth."I think this is the right clue in the direction of where you should be searching for," Eddie said. His words embroidering the sense of a highly intelligent agent.But his words only got Sophia more confused than she was already. If there was anythi

"If you want someone to join you for dinner , why don't you just say it?" Eddie thought."No!!!" Eddie rejected her offer bluntly, pulling away from her afterwards. There was a weird expression on her face as she paired at him from behind. But from the looks on her face, it was obvious that she was not yet done with him."I can't trust anyone in my list of bodyguards anymore." She said, as she counted her steps towards him."What makes you think that you can trust me?" He inquired further with a pause staring right into her eyes.There seemed to be a shared intimacy between them."I don't know. But I just do." She replied."It's still a no." Eddie said coldlySophia gritted her teeth under her breath. Even in her angry state, she still embroidered every sense of being classy."Just think about it, if anything happens to you, who will get you the Golden tail herb?" She said from afar and he pulled her step.She seemed to have pulled a string on him. Anything could happen, not his herb

Clara, Gerow, and Juliet sat down together as they watched the dancer to swing their bodies to the flow of the music.But Clara was hardly looking at them, her mind focused on the cooperation. Her company was the youngest among those that were chosen for the nominationThe possibility that they were going to get it was very low. Her heart raced with anticipation.Juliet could sense the worries in her eyes as she turned over to her."Are you okay?" She inquired but Clara nodded her head to signal that she was fine. But Juliet already knew Clara better than to lie to her."You are worried about the cooperation aren't you?" She said slightly.Just then, Eddie made his way into the hall. He was already done with Sophia and wanted to enjoy the rest of the evening but too bad for him, his seat was structured right before Clara's.Juliet's teeth twisted with so much disdain as she went ahead to say."Must you always junk yourself into us?" He replied."You guys said I attract poverty the oth

Gerow was confused as to what they were talking about. A few minutes ago, he left them in such a sorry state but coming back, they were buzzing with excitement."What do you mean?" Gerow inquired, lost in the realms of his confusion.But Juliet's lips shifted into a really broad smile afterward. "You are so modest Gerow. After doing so much, you act as though it's nothing. You can help us to appreciate your Dad for the help." She beamed with a smile.Gerow was able to connect the two events and he understood nothing about what they were talking about."It's just a little issue that my dad could take care of with a call or two. It was nothing much so I didn't feel there was any worth telling your guys about it." He seemed to be calm but on the inside, he was swelling with pride.Even though he knew nothing about what had happened. The offer had been placed right before him, how could he reject such kindness?Clara's face brightened. She felt stupid for thinking that Eddie had anythi
