It was Diana, his girlfriend. He had promised to take her out for some barbecue that night. However, he did not show up. Diana had earlier been calling him nonstop but his number was off.

After almost giving up, she decided to try it one last time and it went through.

Neo answered the call. “Hello."

“Finally Neo, I've been calling you all these while and your phone was off. Where are you and why was your phone off?”

"Can we talk some other time? This is not a great time.” Neo was not ready to say anything to Diana.

He didn't want her to know what happened to him.

"But you promised to take…"

“Please, Diana. Not now. Let's talk some other time." Neo snapped at her and ended the call immediately. He was not in the mood to have any long conversation at that time.

After a moment of silence, Neo managed to start the car and drove away.

When Neo went to the police to make a report, he didn't have enough evidence

    Liam believed that Miranda would never cheat on him. If she hasn't left him all these while, then she won't even conceive the thought.Tyler shook his head and let out a dry chuckle. “No, the two of you are lying to me. This is not true." He was not ready to believe what he was being told.In fact, he was living in denial. He could not get himself to accept the truth staring before him.To Tyler, there was no truth in what Sean and Liam were saying.“Believe whatever you wish. However, you must know that I'm never backing down until I run you down.” Liam scoffed at him and turned to Sean who was smiling at him.“This man here is still blind to the truth before him.” He turned back to Tyler and continued. "Look, Tyler. You and your hotel are in trouble and you're yet to realize that." “Like my manager here told you earlier. You ought to know who your opponent is before going into battle.”"All these while, you had no idea that the man you've been looking down on Mr. Sawyer, your nigh

    There was complete silence at the place before Miranda added. “I'm sorry girls, I don't think I want to be friends with you anymore. We're not enemies but we can no longer be as close as we used to be.”“If you can suddenly block me off for no just cause, it means that our friendship did not mean anything to you in the first place." Miranda scanned their faces and saw how disappointed they looked. However, she had made up her mind and continued.“I'm sorry girls.”Inside his heart, Liam was very happy about Miranda's response. It was exactly what he wanted to hear and Miranda did not disappoint him.He went ahead and held her hands before saying to her. "Come on honey, let's go have lunch before it gets too cold.”When Miranda turned her back on her ex friends, she was feeling bad about it.She felt that she had done wrong by not allowing the girls back into her life. Maybe she overreacted.Perhaps she should turn around and apologize for what she said to them and possibly accept th

Why are you…”"Stop asking too many questions and have a drink with us. You can go back to work after this.”"I called you from work because we
