Lennox looked around for Clara and saw that she was no longer there, which caused him to panic. He rolled his eyes everywhere, but he didn't notice her. He was becoming agitated. So he walks through the middle of a crowd of people dancing. He was still unable to see Clara. He had only recently been contacted for the first search, but he was unable to locate her. When his gaze was drawn to a corner. Clara was crouched down, next to a man who was holding her hair.
Lennox approached it with a frown.
"What are you doing to her?" he demanded angrily.
His actions had diverted the man's attention.
"Bro, I didn't do anything wrong to her; I just sit here and watched her." the man responded.
Lennox's brow furrowed.
"Are you certain?"
"Of course, bro. I'm the owner of this bar house. So you have nothing to worry about." the man replied.
Lennox took a deep breath.
"You know her?" Lennox asked the man.
"No. I only noticed her when she suddenly lay there on the couch so I approached her." the man replied.
"I'm sorry, Bro, but thank you. This woman's mixture is bad." he says.
"Your girlfriend?" the man asked.
"No. My friend."
"Ah I see."
Lennox noticed that the man smiled.
"Are you going home? Or will you just wait for her to wake up?" the man asked him.
"I'll take her home." he replied.
"Just leave her here with me. I have a spare room here in the bar house. The one behind it has my staff rooms. She can sleep there. So that you don't bring a sleeping woman." said the man.
Lennox is hesitant because he doesn't know this man to entrust Clara but he also doesn't know where to deliver it if Veronica asks at their house. She eventually calmed down because she felt kind to the man in front of him.
"I'm Donnie. I'm not a bad person. I don't tend to do bad things to a woman. I have five sisters." said Donnie.
"All right."
Donnie carried Clara as he followed him into the room it says. A female staff member followed them. It made Clara lie down on the bed. Lennox saw that it was okay that Clara had already thought of going home. The whole highway was quiet so Lennox suddenly felt scared. He wondered what if someone stopped him on the way he would be dead. He still doesn't know any self defense. But he breathed a sigh of relief when he returned safely to Veronica's house.
Stopping his car he saw Veronica waiting at the gate. She was just wearing a red robe. I opened the window.
"Open the gate, Veronica." he commands her.
Veronica opened the gate while frowning. He got into the car and got out afterwards.
"Why aren't you sleeping yet? Do you miss your husband? Why don't you call him? It's not like you're dealing with me like that." he says.
"What is my husband involved in this, we're just the two of us facing each other?"
"What is your problem?" He asked again.
"Why did you just go home now?" Veronica asked him.
"The bar house was soaked too much. Why?"
"Nothing. You worry me too much. You know I'm not used to someone coming home to this house for a long hour." said Veronica.
"From now on you'll get used to it. You know I only go out of the house once in a while." he replied.
Veronica sighed.
"Sleep." he said then went inside the house.
I could do nothing but follow him inside the house.
Dionne woke up because of the thirst she was feeling. She caress her stomach. Her stomach is seven months old. She did not know how long she would keep the pregnancy from her parents. She was still scared to this day because she knew they would get angry. She had to find a job so as not to stop sending money to them.
She left the room and went to the kitchen. Add what stresses her is Noah's treatment of her when they meet. It was as if no responsibility had been left to her. But there was nothing she could do about it. It's really like that when someone is no longer loved. She took a glass of water and she drank it. The inside of the house was quiet, maybe Arya hadn't woken up early. They were the only two left in the house because Kiley was in the hospital.
"She didn't go back to sleep but she just cooked breakfast for the two of them with Arya. Her son is already moving around in his stomach, maybe he's hungry too. He puts food on the table when Arya enters him.
"Did you wake up early?" Arya asked him.
"Yes, I'm thirsty. So I didn't go back to sleep. I just cooked our breakfast." he replied.
"Thank you, Dionne. I'm already hungry."
"Sit down. And we'll both eat."
Lennox heard the sound of the phone so he took it answered while closing his eyes.
"Damn you, Lennox!" Clara's shout was what he heard on the other line.
"Maybe! Don't yell at me. I'm deaf to what you did." advertisement.
"You're the one who's mad at me now. Why did you leave me at the bar last night? And with a man I don't even know. You're really stupid." Clara still screaming.
"You don't know him but he's my friend. That's why I left you with him. Can you not be angry. I don't even want to carry a drunk so I just put you to sleep there last night." he says.
"Whatever." answer it and hang up the phone.
Lennox shook his head. She couldn't imagine Clara's appearance because of her annoyance. Especially and it woke up in another room. He never slept again but left the room and went straight to the kitchen. He saw Veronica preparing breakfast.
"Good morning." he greeted it.
"How are you sleeping?" Veronica asked him.
"It's okay."
"That's good. By the way. Dad called again asking when you're going home to the mansion." said Veronica.
Lennox frowned.
"What did you tell him?" he asked.
"No. He said you two are going to talk about the company." Veronica replied.
"I have no interest in his company. So I'm not going home."
"Why don't you call him? You won't make me your messenger." Veronica said, frowning.
"I don't want to call him because we'll just talk for a long time. So it's better like this. As long as I want. But I don't want to talk to him for life." he replied.
"You are really stupid at anytime." Veronica said.
"He pushed me to be like this. So he can't blame me. I just let him do what he wants in life. Why doesn't he just get married so he can be busy with his life." he says.
"I also don't know why he hasn't remarried. I haven't even secretly heard of him having a girlfriend. In fact, many women will be obsessed with him." said Veronica.
I rolled my eyes.
"You mean no woman will like him because of his habit." said Lennox.
"Oh, you."
Dionne and Arya also finished eating.
"How are you feeling, Dionne?" Arya asked her.
"It's okay. My baby kicks in, especially since it's hungry. So I can't be hungry at all." she replied.
"That's good. You don't look stressed anymore. Have you moved on yet?" Arya asked her.
She didn't know if she had moved on but she hadn't thought about Noah since they met at a restaurant and showed her something bad of the side of him.
"How's your writing?" Arya asked.
"I wrote something somehow." she replied.
"What about you?"
"I've already passed my manuscript. And hopefully it can pass the evaluation." Arya replied.
"Don't you want to study nursing?" Dionne asked Arya.
"I want to. But I haven't saved any money yet. I've sent everything to the province." Arya replied.
"What did Kiley say?"
"I haven't told him yet. I also don't want him to shoulder the cost for my studies. Even if we both live in, it's still embarrassing to ask him." she answer.
"That's working together, Arya. You know he just saved some money for your studies." Dionne replied.
"I'll tell him later if I have a chance. This past few days he's been too busy. I can't get in."
Veronica and Lennox also finished eating breakfast. So he thought of ventilating outside the house. He has nothing to do today, I have already passed all their manuscripts to Clara. He also didn't know if there was a result because it turned out to be brokenhearted. His phone rang but he ignored it. But the sound still didn't stop so he took his phone out of his pocket.
Her daddy called but he ignored it. He had no time to listen to its words. Lennox breathed a sigh of relief as the call finally stopped as well. Soon a gray car pulled up in front of him. The window opened and he saw Donnie's smiling face. He frowned at what he saw.
"Bro, get in." Donnie said to him.
"Huh? why?" he asked.
"We're going somewhere." Donnie answer.
Though confused Lennox still rode in Donnie's car. After fastening the seatbelt, he drove the car away from Veronica's house.
"I didn't know that friend of yours was demented, Bro." Donnie said.
"Why?"
"She fought me because that's where she slept in the room I owned, and I thought when she woke up she'd thank me, but he'll just yell at me, which I find cute," Donnie said, smiling.
Lennox should be cringing. He doubts that Clara and Donnie will form a love team. We stopped in front of a house with a white gate. Many cars are parked outside.
"What's going on, and where are we?" he asked Donnie.
"It's our house, and it's my birthday today, so there are a lot of people, and Clara is already inside," Donnie explained.
"Really? I didn't expect to be invited," Lennox said.
"Of course, let's go inside."
We went inside, and Lennox noticed that Donnie had a lot of visitors. And he didn't get to know the people. As Clara approached him, he noticed her frown.
"Didn't you say you weren't coming yet, Lennox?" Clara asked.
"I didn't realize we were going here until Donnie pulled me over," he explained.
"Are you two really close? You're on first names, and I thought I was your only friend?" Clara sulked.
Donnie simply smiled at me.
"Wait a minute, I'll leave you two first and just go to the other guests," Donnie says as he waves goodbye to them.
Lennox nodded. And Clara and I stood in the corner. He was just stunned when his eye landed on a group ahead. Her eyes widened. He can't be wrong because his Daddy is the one facing his habit. It was a year old he thinks maybe it was because it annoyed him. It was accompanied by a woman just the same age as Veronica. Lennox's forehead furrowed as his Daddy whispered to the woman and suddenly smiled very sweetly.
"Who are you looking at there, Lennox?" Clara asked.
"Nothing."
"Okay."
Her Daddy is already here in the city but why didn't he even think of visiting Veronica and Jia at home. He needs to leave right now before they can meet with his Daddy. He didn't want to talk about it.
"Ah, Clara. Can I go home to you first. There's an emergency. And is it okay for you to just stay here so Donnie doesn't get upset." he says.
"Sure. Call me. When you get home." Clara replied.
Lennox breathed a sigh of relief at Clara's easy consent. Good thing, it didn't ask for anything.
"Thank you, Clara."
"Take care."
He texted Veronica to pick him up on the highway. He just took a taxi. A car rang ahead and the window opened. Veronica's head popped out.
"You disturb me. I'm going to open a coffee shop. What's the problem? You'll suddenly leave without letting me know." Veronica asked him.
He opened the car door and got inside.
"I went to my friend's birthday party, and I saw Daddy there, with a woman, and they're sweet to each other," he explained.
Veronica's brow furrowed.
"Really? He didn't even tell me he was in town, and who is this woman you're talking about?" Veronica asked.
"I'm not sure. I don't know that woman," he said.
