"What did you do that for?," His nose scrunched up in distaste. Valerie giggled at his reaction. Yep! He definitely is that type of man that doesn't like any form of intimate action like kissing. He lifted his hand to wipe his cheek but she hurriedly stopped him,"If you wipe off the stain from your cheek, I'll kiss the other cheek too." His hand halted instantly. He went silent and just stared at her. "Hey," She called softly. "I'm sorry, okay? I didn't mean to hide my identity. I just thought you'd reject me if you knew I was the daughter of your soon-to-be business partner." 'And that I'm hopelessly in love with you,' she didn't add this statement though. How the heck is she supposed to explain that she'd fallen for a man she hadn't even met? Others may call it infatuation but she knows what she is feeling. She's studied him for so long to know that he isn't a kind of man to adore affection so the only way she could get to him was with her beauty and her offer. The one ab

Everywhere was silent except from the windy sound that indicated a heavy rainfall and the sounds coming from Jake's phone as he waited for the call to connect. The phone rang for a while but no one answered it so it got disconnected. Jake looked at Leo and shook his head to tell him that no one answered. "Try again. If no one answers, I'm gonna get rid of those incompetent fools as soon I get back," His words shook Jake to the core. He hurriedly tried calling again. Meanwhile, Sienna stood quietly by the side. There was a faint dreamy look on her face as she gazed at Leo. Even the way he looked angry just made him appear even more handsome. She wished they'd never get to meet again under these unfortunate circumstances. Her original plan was to charm him, seduce him and then grasp him round her finger but she'd had to put a stop to her plan and job to rush here and seek for mercy! She wiped the sweat off her brows. Though it's cold and windy out here, she's actually sweating at t

As soon as he realised that he was the one they were talking about, Jake took a few steps backwards. "Boss... Don't look at me that way. It's like you wanna eat me whole. I'm innocent," He cried out with a pitiful look, rushing to stand behind Alan. The latter tried to move away but he held him. Since Alan learnt how to use him as his shield, he won't hesitate to do the same. It's called repaying bad deeds with bad deeds! "Did you or did you not say that?," Leo demanded, standing akimbo. Jake swallowed noiselessly,"I said so boss." His voice was low, so low that they almost didn't hear him. "But believe me boss, I never mentioned anything else to him. I didn't even tell him to call her cousin in-law." "Don't call her that again. She is not even my girlfriend," Jake and Alan exchanged a look while Leo turned back to the suitcase he was unpacking. They shrugged at each other with a similar confused look on their faces. If she isn't his girlfriend, then who is she to him? **

"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

"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
