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
There was a sense of awkwardness as Eddie replaced his phone in his pocket and shifted his gaze to Sophia.The anger that had flooded through his blood earlier met with a sudden calm."So you were saying something?" Eddie said.Sophia moved closer towards him, but before she could get to say anything, his ears picked up a really strange vibration.He waved his hands, pushing her to a forced stop as he listened closer.The sense of the vibration oozed through his legs and the beeping sound seemed to increase."Can you hear that?" He inquired. But no matter how much Sophia listened, she could not pick out any sound and she shook her head.Eddie drew a really deep sigh. "How worthless for me to have asked in the first place." He thought.Eddie decided to trace the direction of this strange sound and it drew him closer and closer towards the car.His face lit up at the discovery of what it was. A ticking time bomb had been placed on her car.As the velocity of the beeping sound increase
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
Back at Clara's family Villa. Clara was still furious after everything that had happened earlier. She had known Eddie for three straight years and had not believed that he could do such a thing. "I warned you earlier." Juliet pulled forward towards her. "He was only trying to hide his temperament all these while because you guys were married. Now that you are divorced, I think he is having a hard time doing that." After thinking about it, it turned out that she never knew the man that she had been married to all this while. "My pity goes to that lady that's been coined by him. But soon, she is certainly going to regret it." Gerow said, her picture still lingering in his mind. But Juliet who was jealous of her flashy building and high aura hissed loudly. "She deserves every single thing that she is going to get. Not like she wasn't warned. A stubborn fly will always follow the corpse to its grave." "Just can't stop imagining the looks on her face when she gets to know who Eddie
"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
Juliet gritted her teeth both with irritation and jealousy, wishing that she could leave a few scratches on that beautiful face of Sophia.But they were in the Young family business group turf, and they could not cause any form of troubles there."I would have thought so, you will always be hiding under a lady. When are you ever going to have something of your own?" Gerow laughed at him.“Just take a look at Gerow here. He got the tickets without any form of stress. That's the definition of a real man, not someone hiding under a ladies skirt.” Juliet muttered.But Eddie was not moved by the words. “I thought you went through to high school and you can differentiate a kid from a man?”“How dare you.” Gerow thundered at him.“I know the truth his bitter but don't try to remove the speck from my eyes my darling. When your stop hiding under the clutches of your father's company, then you can talk to me.”A smile hovered on Sophia's lips. Eddie was more than able to stand his ground with
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
The news was like a thousand spikes running through her nerves, her motions paralyzed on a spot.Juliet's face flooded with sweat. Her heart was pounding even after but all her attention was more confused on Clara.Juliet was worried that something terrible was going to happen to her so she quickly pulled over to Sophia, her face washed up with a confused expression."Clara, Clara, are you okay?" She called out.Even Gerow was confused thinking that they were finally going to figure it out, but it turned out that their hatred exceeded all boundaries.Juliet turned over to Eddie with a deadly snare that was enough to snap anyone off from their breaths and thundered at him."It's all your fault." Her voice re-echoed in the hall.Eddie was confused and angry at the same time but it was easy to know that Juliet wasn't worth someone getting angry about."How is it my fault?" He replied with a twitch in his facial expression while Juliet was still blowing hot red with anger. "You were the
