"Are you for real?" Brooklyn shook her head and proceeded to stuff her mouth. "I thought you were smiling over a chat or something but it's just twitter."Zelda walked forward with a pout and turned the tablet to her direction. "How can you live such a boring life Brooke? Everyone in the company is bustling at how lively twitter is today.""So?" Brooklyn still remained nonchalant. She couldn't see what was fun in scrolling through social media while a large pile of paperwork awaits you."I guess it's because you haven't seen the trending news that you can still act so apathetically," Zelda took a step backwards."Do you know Larry was involved in an auto crash?"This certainly caught Brooklyn's attention. "What?""Yes," Zelda nodded. "As of the time of the news report, his condition is still unknown.""Well, he deserves it," Brooklyn shrugged and turned back to the almost empty takeaway."Don't be so mean. He might be a scum but dying seems harsh.""He's not dead yet. If he was, it wo

Levi had just finished dinner and was checking his phone. "No response?" His brows furrowed when he saw the message he had sent to Brooklyn almost an hour ago left on read.Was he being too impulsive? Or was she too busy to respond?He had already sent the message before he realized what he did. There was no way to delete it as she viewed it almost immediately.Levi shook his head. Did she perhaps misunderstand his kind gestures as being too caring?He was only concerned after the previous night that she had gotten so drunk. It won't do good for her to forget her meals."Sir, here it is," A maid came in with a bottle of lemon water like he had requested."Thank you."As Levi had a drink, he saw that he had been so lost in thoughts that he didn't realize when the maids came in to begin clearing the table."Excuse me," He called a maid. "Is grandfather still awake?"He hasn't seen grandfather Hernandez since he returned from work and he needed to discuss an important issue with him."We
Grandfather Hernandez didn't know what was said on the phone but Levi's expression changed drastically.And as soon as the call ended, he didn't explain anything but told him nervously, "Grandfather, I have to go."Before he could say anything, Levi already rushed out. "Aiyo! What could have happened?" He paced at the door and then glanced at the wall clock."Why isn't Brooklyn even home yet?"****When Levi got to the city hospital, he rushed like a crazy person to the front desk but no one paid him any attention because they were also lost in their own worries."Good evening," He greeted the receptionist as he panted. "I am here to see Thomas Lloyd. Please check your record and tell me which ward he is in.""How are you related to him sir?" The receptionist looked up from the computer.Her eyes widened slightly when she saw Levi's physical appearance clearly.'Oh my God! So handsome!' she squealed inwardly while maintaining her professional poise.Levi didn't notice anything as he s
"Oh, you are back," The old man looked up from the armchair he was sitting on and tipped his glass. He glanced at the wall clock."It's so late and you are just returning. Did you work overtime again?"Brooklyn knew if she admitted it, she was going to get an earful of words but she needed to find Levi first so she just ignored his questions and used his own words against him."It's already so late yet you are still awake and even reading. Grandfather, why aren't you asleep yet?"Diego was speechless. He shook his grey coloured hair and pointed at her, "You brat...""Have you seen Levi?" Brooklyn appeared impatient."He did come here but he rushed out a while ago.""Did he say where he was going?""No," Diego shook his head as he put away the book he was reading. "You should call him."Brooklyn nodded and then turned to leave. But as she opened the door, she said, "Grandfather, you should go to bed. It's already so late."As she walked back to her bedroom, she tried calling Levi but t
There was silence over the phone for some minutes and the technician glanced around uneasily before calling out again,"Sir?""Who is it?" A deep baritone voice questioned from the other side."I do not know but the family involved doesn't seem so simple. It was a guard that dropped off the drugs.""Are you certain it's from my company? There are many counterfeits and similar drugs like ours out there nowadays. You could be mistaken.""It's yours sir. I can't be mistaken about this," Perhaps because the technician felt his voice was too loud, his fingers wrapped around the mobile phone tightly and he whispered,"Sir, don't forget. I also partook in the testing during the manufacture of those drugs."The line went silent again and the technician wiped the sweat that had started to form on his forehead."Is the result out?""No sir.""Good," The deep, baritone voice sounded relieved. "Confiscate the real result. Don't let it get out.""Sir..." The technician was anxious."Listen to me.
Brooklyn rested against the metallic walls of the elevator and released a breath. That was when Madison Rockefeller noticed."Oh my God, you are injured. I'm so sorry."Brooklyn smiled again, "It's nothing, aunty. The wound is already dressed so it doesn't hurt that much."But it did hurt when she was rushed like that earlier. However, she wasn't going to say this because although she has a problem with Larry, she does not hate his mother.Infact, she thinks Madison is one of the kindest women she's ever met.Ding!"That's our cue. Let's go," Madison held her gently and led her out slowly this time."Larry will be so happy," she was muttering when Brooklyn suddenly eased out of her hold."Huh, what's wrong dear?""Aunt, I think you must have misunderstood me. I'm not here for Larry."Madison Rockefeller was surprised. "What are you—""I don't think Larry told you. But there is nothing between us. There has never been," Brooklyn spoke seriously.Madison was speechless for a minute. And
"There is nothing wrong with the drugs sent for testing," The doctor read out exactly what the result said.Levi's brows furrowed because he could also see the words written in the result."Doc, didn't you say there must have been something wrong with the drugs he took?""I did," The doctor removed his reading glasses. He was also confused.But the laboratory the test was taken in is the best in the city and is directly affiliated to this hospital so he must have made a wrong judgment."Well, I might have made the wrong speculation. It might also have been caused by an overdose but do not worry Mr Lloyd, your father will be under our inspection so he'll recover soon enough.""Okay," Levi's doubts were dismissed and he passed the test results back to the guard."Hello Brooklyn. How do you do?"Levi noted the doctor seemed to be very familiar with Brooklyn because she smiled and nodded, "I'm fine. You've gotten older since we last met.""Tch," The young doctor laughed. His eyes fell on
