"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
