After a while, Leona and Javier looked at each other again. He smiled at her and she reciprocated immediately.
I'm so proud of you even before, Leona Aragon.
After that event, Javier accompanied Leona to her former office. The latter had been quiet before so he just kept staring at it while surveying the whole area around her office. When they reached her table. he saw Leona staring at the nameplate on top of the table. Leona held it and closed her eyes for a moment as if she was worried but what she saw was nothing because of its disappointed expression. It seemed to be weakening so he immediately grabbed it by the arm. Leona immediately confronted him.
"It was hard, wasn't it?" He asked Leona.
It just forced a smile on him and nodded. "Yeah..."
He could no longer control himself and brought the woman closer to him then hugged her tightly. He could not help but worry about her condition because it might overwhelm her mentally and hurt her.
