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
Heaven couldn't reply. Her shoulders shook terribly as she wept. Leo on the other hand found that he couldn't move from that spot... No... This must be just a nightmare. A terrible dream. Nothing more. That certainly isn't James in the bed with a bloodied, unrecognizable face. He couldn't hear anything. He couldn't see anything like he was in a trance. In the background, he heard a few people talking. Someone said,"Young miss, I have called the ambulance. They will be here soon." "Young miss, I already informed the cops about what happened. They are on their way." Hearing the last statement, Leo's body swayed. He fell on his knees. His head bent low. Once again... He'd lost another. Mom died this way. She was assassinated in their house, in their small bedroom. It was a horrible sight for a six years old boy to witness then. He couldn't even understand why his father kept on insisting that they change location until he'd come back from school one day, walked into the slum and me
Heaven got lost in staring at the contact card. So he's a detective from the city police station. Why then did he say he isn't one of the cops then? Aren't they the same? A low shuffle sound on the bed and a groan of pain caused Heaven to turn her attention to the bed. "Mom!," She sounded relieved. "You are finally awake." Victoria didn't respond. She was just trying to sit up. But that stopped when she caught sight of the occupant of the bed beside hers. Her eyes widened with anger and her face turned red as she yelled,"What's this murderer doing in this room!? Get him away from me! I don't want to see his disgusting face that deserves to rot in hell!" The hand that had wanted to touch the door knob stopped and detective Tom turned around. Oh! So he is still in the room? "Mom... What are you saying? Please calm down," She struggled to hold Victoria back. The latter was going bonkers! "Why did you let him in!? I'm gonna kill this b*stard! I swear with the last drop of bl
"Aunt," He greeted and turned to Heaven. He rushed to her and helped her up. "What's wrong with you? Are you alright?" The remaining officers exchanged a look of surprise. They have never seen their boss act this way before. Even though he is much younger than most of them, he was quickly promoted to the post of D.C.O (Divisional Crime Officer.) His usually stoic and expressionless face had quickly won him fame in the station. They weren't even aware that he had family members because as far as they know, he is an orphan or was supposed to be. "Officer Joe, it's great that you are here. I was just about to send a message," Detective Tom interrupted whatever word Victoria had to say. But the latter didn't look offended. Joe looked at Heaven's pale face again and turned to the detective. The smile on his face disappeared and his signature cold expression appeared. He nodded and detective Tom walked forward. "Miss...," He paused and pointed at Victoria. He just realized that he
