Leo's mind suddenly went blank as she wrapped her hands around his waist. He suddenly realised how short she was. Her head was barely reaching his neck. She has a voluptuous body but she was slightly shorter than most women he'd seen.

How come he never realised this!? Wait... How come she is hugging him!? But this didn't stop him from unconsciously returning the hug.

She looked up at him and smiled. The first genuine smile he'd ever seen on her face. "You dummy! I thought you weren't going to come back in time. Did you have fun teasing me like that?," Of course, her first word would be to call him names.

But this time, he didn't find it as irritating as it used to feel. When she called him dummy now, he actually felt she was cute! Yikes! Leo... What's wrong with you?

"Of course. It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you. Besides, you did something that upset me alot... Well, that's understandable since you are always doing things to upset me," he frowned a little.

    "Boo!," Leo jumped in fright. He almost fell backwards on the person behind him. Heaven moved backwards and burst into laughter. "I can't believe you were scared of my hand! Hahahaha!," She held her stomach as she rolled in laughter. He looked at her and faked an angry expression. "Why would you do that?," As he said this, he heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing that she is in a good mood, the argument with her mother ended well. "Well... I was so engrossed in looking at the bottles of yogurt that I didn't notice you." The laughter immediately ceased as she rushed to the fridge,"Don't touch my babies. They are for me only." Leo looked at the fridge and turned back to her in surprise. "Are you going to finish all that? There are so many flavors. Why did you even order so many?," He looked surprised. "None of your business," She took out one bottle of the yogurt. "I thought that since we'd become friends, there is no need to say snippy words at me or call me names anymore," he spoke s

    "Hi," She whispered and he tucked his hand in his pocket while gazing at the sky."How are you doing? Isn't it late there already? Shouldn't you be in bed?," Valerie was overwhelmed with his questions. It sounded as if he cares."I miss you," She told him frankly and Leo was speechless. He chuckled and looked down the rail."Did the party end early?," He successfully maneuvered the topic. It felt weird to hear her say she missed him."Yes," Valerie gave a short reply with a sad smile. She is well aware that he'd changed the discussion to something else. Why should it be only her that keeps on feeling this way?Why doesn't he feel something too? Even a tiny bit... That night, he wouldn't even let her kiss him... Like a full kiss on the mouth. How can there be a sexual relationship between two people if the man isn't even willing to kiss the woman?"Leo...," She called with a resolute, determined look."Yes.""I said I miss you. Didn't you hear me or you are just deliberately ignoring it

    "Do you enjoy teasing me like this!?," Heaven exploded as soon as Leo stepped into the house. She was holding up her phone which was displaying the pictures he sent to her and the string of messages she sent to him that had been left unread. Leo struggled to hide his smile and displayed an innocent expression. "I was starving. My stomach couldn't handle the hunger so I stopped at a nearby restaurant to eat. I even sent pictures to you to show you my whereabouts in case you started to worry about my late arrival so what did I do wrong?" Heaven opened her mouth to interject but he stopped her,"I've had a hectic day at work and I had to rush home yet you are getting all fussy for no reason." This erased the anger in Heaven's mind and she forced a smile on her face. "Okay... Okay... You can go in and get dressed now. The only reason why I was upset is because I don't want us to arrive there late and be the center of their attention..." Leo simply nodded without a response. "I'l

    Leo didn't respond. He only gave her a smile and led her into the restaurant. "Besides... It's not your duty to save our faces. I've got a few plans." Heaven resisted the urge to roll her eyes and followed his lead. "You are moving like you already know the room," She expressed her surprise as he led them into a hallway and walked to the right room. How did he know her classmates booked room 0302 for the reunion? Leo turned his face sideways to hide a smile. Actually, he didn't know until she'd checked messages on her phone earlier. He didn't mean to peep but he had accidentally seen the room number. But of course, he wouldn't admit this to her. So he just said,"I'm your boyfriend after all." Heaven looked up at him and noticed the glint in his eyes with the mischievous smile dancing on his lips. She gritted her teeth angrily and looked away. The bastard dared to tease her again.**** Meanwhile, in room 0302- The ambiance of the room was slightly friendly as a loud cac

    Heaven forced the bile that threatened to spill out of her guts because of the smile on his irritating face. She smiled and waved at him before looking away. She didn't notice how Drake's smile widened nor did she realize that Ciara noticed the little interaction between them and this caused her to glare hatefully. "Why would you choose to sit with Drake of all people in this room?," She whispered to Mae in a begrudging tone. Mae looked up and noticed that Drake was smiling sheepishly at Heaven. Not to mention the w*tch sitting opposite them with grievance written all over her face. She lowered her head and apologized,"I'm sorry. I didn't know the vacant seat I chose for you is beside Drake. But now that he is sitting beside you, where will brother -in-law sit?" "Brother in-law?," A confused look appeared on Heaven until realization finally dawned on her. "Oh! Brother in-law," She repeated and glanced at the door quickly. Where is he? Didn't he tell her that he would grab a gift

    One of the men even dropped a contact card on the table and said,"Contact me. Insurance companies are not a good place for you. I should be able to find a good position for you in my company. A receptionist post would be better." Laughter increased. Only Mae and Heaven didn't find this funny. Leo smiled and reached out to pick up the card. "Thank you. I'll make sure to reach out to you," He even bowed... Like he bowed(≧▽≦) "See how grateful he is. Heaven must have been treating him so badly that she couldn't even get a position for him in her grandfather's corp." "No... I heard that Greene's company has had a changeover of power recently so he doesn't even have much authority in the company anymore," Someone else affirmed. I guess the 'he' they are referring to is Heaven's grandfather. Leo revealed a lopsided smile at this. Good... At least someone knows that it's another person that is in charge of the reins of power in Greene's. "We haven't gotten to taste any of the del

    "Why are you looking around?," Leo stopped in his tracks when he realized that Heaven halted and was a few steps behind him. He turned back to her and watched her look around the car park. Then he heard her mumble,"Huh? Where is he? He should be here." He walked back to her and just then, there was a fast and loud swish sound behind him. He froze. She froze... They stared at each other wide-eyed and watched the car that had just narrowly missed hitting him speed away. Wait... What just happened? Did he just almost get hit? "Are you alright?," Heaven rushed to him but he stared back with that blank look. Few armed men dressed in black rushed out from every corner of the park and that was when the pandemonium started. The guests were naturally frightened by the sudden appearance of so many masked men. The only person that didn't fret was Heaven cause she recognized these men to be some of her grandfather's secret guards. "Boss," They rushed to Leo and surrounded him. "Are you alr

    "Uhmm boss... I don't know who she is," Jake smiled nervously and scratched his hair. Leo looked at him in disbelief. So... What's the info all about then? "You don't know who she is?," He repeated and Jake nodded. "Get out of my office." Jake paused. His brain couldn't quite process that sentence at that moment. Huh? What did the boss say? "Sir..." "Out of my office," Leo didn't even bat an eyelid at his lost expression. "But boss, you promised me a reward if I were to find out the identity of the new Ceo." "Yes, I did that," Jake heaved a sigh of relief when Leo agreed. But his relief was quite short-lived because the latter soon said,"But I remember promising you a reward for two things. Find out the identity of the new Ceo. Not the gender and I also asked you to give me the details about the whereabouts of the former Ceo." Jake blinked. "Stop doing that. It suits pretty ladies rather than your stuffy face." 'Boss, why are you being so cruel!?,' but he didn't dare to voice

    She turned around to go back to the office. "I'm issuing a divorce immediately." Leo pulled her back and informed her amusedly,"Mrs Ceo, you must be married to me for at least six months to be able to issue a divorce." Heaven's eyes turned red from shyness and she spat out,"You trickster!" Leo moved closer and bent low to whisper into her ears,"Did I also trick you last night to... Mmph" His mouth was immediately covered by Heaven who looked around cautiously and flushed endlessly. She was asleep okay. He was the one that took advantage of her! Leo laughed and she was forced to release her hand when his lips vibrated against it sensually. "We didn't go all the way... Perhaps we could explore further tonight and maybe make a baby to appease the Grampa Wave." "You told grandpa?" She shrieked with widened eyes. "He didn't seem pleased," Leo led her to the car. Heaven felt infuriated. "You... You didn't even... Argh!" She screamed when she realized she was lost f

    Leo scratched his head sheepishly and answered,"She is fine grandpa. She is asleep." Wave squinted his old eyes at the youngster and asked in a gruff time,"Why did you snatch her away? She only just came back and needs to rest. You didn't—" "Grandfather, we are heading to the bureau tomorrow." There was sudden silence in this revelation. Emily looked surprised and a smile soon spread out on her face. Meanwhile, Wave was speechless. When the words finally sunk in his brain, he yelled,"You rascal! How long have you had your eyes on her? How long has this been going on? Do you really think you'd be able to get her to the bureau without consulting me first?" Leo cringed at the noise. "Grandfather, she agreed to it. I'm afraid she might run off this time if I don't hold her down. Sorry I didn't let you know before this." "No... This is unacceptable! How could you—" "Congratulations cousin! Remember to share cash souvenirs after the registration," Q's voice from the back

    The atmosphere of the car seemed to get even colder with the distance covered. Q quivered and looked consequently from Leo who'd literally turned to a huge block of ice emitting strong frostiness and Heaven, who was just sitting quietly in a corner. 'Just make up already,' he groaned inwardly but didn't say a word. All of a sudden, Leo ordered the chauffeur to stop the car, just a few meters away from Wave's manor. He ignored the looks he got from Q and Heaven and ordered,"Get out." Quan and Heaven exchanged looks confusedly until he repeated his words again,"Get out." The passenger's door automatically opened. Without thinking, Heaven made an attempt to walk out but Leo halted her movement with a cold glare. He was sitting opposite her so as soon as she saw the way he glared at her, she subconsciously sat back. Quan didn't need anyone to tell him that the person asked to get out was him. With grievance in his heart, he walked out. As he watched the car zoom off,

    "Humph!" Valerie harrumphed when they appeared at the doorway of the conference room. She gave the woman, supposedly one of the receptionists, a condescending look and remarked,"Didn't you say I wasn't allowed into the company? Just my name was enough to make him run to me. I'll surely make you regret what you did today." Leo didn't refute her word as he was pushed in. He simply dismissed the receptionist,"You can leave." The receptionist was relieved to leave that place cause she immediately hurried away. "Boss, you have twenty more minutes till the next meeting," Jake bent low to inform him. He nodded and looked at Valerie with that same expressionless face. "You have just ten minutes. Why did you want to see me by all means?" Valerie appeared a bit embarrassed. She didn't think the receptionist would relay her words to Leo exactly as she said them. But she hid her embarrassed expression and frowned at Jake's presence. "I want to speak to you privately. Ask him to lea

    But Jake didn't dare blurt out this thought. He cleared his throat and walked forward with a file. Pushing it forward, he said," I arranged your schedule again like you asked me to. Your next meeting is with the multinational company to close the deal...Blah blah blah," He recounted every single meeting schedule he'd arranged and Leo listened quietly while eating. However, the latter's eyes suddenly fell on a strange file. One he's never seen before. "Which file is that?" He pointed at it. Jake looked at it and suddenly reacted like he'd forgotten to mention something while saying the schedule just now. "You asked me to research Mason's company, remember? Initially, I got the result and wanted to inform you but that thing with uncle Miles came up and you asked me to suspend it." As he explained, Leo's eyes darkened. How could he simply forget about those two? He hasn't had his revenge on Scott and Mandy yet, so how could he let them be? He'd completely forgotten about

    Leo looked up at the collection of pictures on the table and a soft look suddenly adorned his cold features. At first, he had been very confused as to why Heaven suddenly decided to leave the country months ago. The crisis was over and there were no murder threats anymore so why did she suddenly insist on going abroad? He had been angered and bittered about her decision for a long time, feeling she was inconsiderate of his feelings and simply selfish until he found the real reason why she went abroad. A month after her departure, he began to receive emails from Q with pictures of Heaven's endeavors abroad. Leo unintentionally moved closer to look at the pictures closely. One picture had Heaven wearing this cute overalls with a pencil tucked behind her ear and a folder in her hand. She was standing in front of a Corp. smiling at a company of three unfamiliar men. Leo frowned and suddenly brought out scissors from a drawer to trim out the other Intruders in the picture. Jake

    "Mr Greene is fine and out of danger now. There weren't complications during the surgery since we were able to detect the poison early so he is perfectly okay," the doctor watched the people around him breath in relief. They were now in a fresh, clean Vvip ward and Leo was lying unconscious on the bed with Heaven sitting by his side. Receiving no questions, the doctor continued with his speech,"We would just like to put him under observation for some days because the poison weakened his body system and coupled with the large portion of anesthesia found in his blood—" Q coughed nervously when he heard this and subconsciously moved away from Wave who turned to the doctor with a puzzled look. "Anesthesia?" The doctor nodded at Wave's question. "Yes, we discovered that he had been injected with an overdose of anesthesia." Detective Tom itched his head nervously and exchanged a look with Q. Wave looked furious once again. "Just how far was Miles willing to go to get

    "We should head there and wait for the operation to be over," Detective Tom suggested and others nodded in agreement to their words. As they left the ward and headed to the operation theater, Larson could still feel something was wrong. He glanced at everyone and turned to Q. "Say..." He whispered. "What happened while I was gone?" "Nothing," Q didn't even look at him. Larson took a stance against the walls as grandma Emily led Heaven to a bench. They had gotten to the operation theater and the bulb was still showing the red light to indicate that there was an ongoing operation. Larson pulled Q back when he saw that the latter was going to join grandma Emily and Heaven on the bench. He moved closer and asked again in a hushed tone,"Nothing?" "Why are you being so nosy all of a sudden? I already told you nothing happened." "I believe you are lying," Larson glared at him but this didn't faze the latter. "If you really don't want to tell, I'll get answers from the detective." "As

    There was a sudden deafening silence in the room. Everyone literally froze at Q's revelation. "What?" Detective Tom managed to choke out. Q nodded. "Yes, my name is Quan Greene." "Which of the Greene's?" It was after detective Tom asked this question did he realize how stupid it sounds. He turned to Wave. "Granduncle, do you secretly have an illegitimate child outside that gave birth to this grandson?" As if on cue, grandma Emily and Wave glared at him at the same time causing him to seal his lips with his fingers. "Don't say nonsense and don't call me granduncle. I am not your relative. Do we look alike?" Wave retorted. "What's going on? Why is the private investigator saying his name is Quan Greene? How is he related to us?" Grandma Emily immediately demanded an answer. Wave ignored them and moved forward. He suddenly held Q and shook the boy. The sudden attack caused Q to feel light-headed. "You stinky child! You've been here the whole time yet you didn't come
