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
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
The Devil Saw building was enough to send cold chills down the spine of anyone.This building stood at the very act of the city, likened to a buggy man's tale. A place that houses the underworld thugs of the city. Thugs that were bold enough to express their threats even in the face of the media.Even though the government knew the evil that went around in this building, no one dared to come up against it because of the people they had backing up their atrocities.The rotating motion of the chair brought to light Mr. Dave, the leader of the thugs that engulfed this building.Dressed in all his splendor, it was more like an office job for him. He was on his phone with a thick frown on his face.Mr. Klev just called and wanted a job done, not that it was unusual but taking a look at the punk in one phone, his frown deepened even more.Eddie looked sickly and wasn't worth his time. Could it be that all the thugs have gone missing from the city? Or Mr. Klev no longer saw his worth."Smac
