"Visiting his Grandma twice a month, going out on a date once a week" Leila muttered as she munched on the food on her plate.
"That's it!" Cherry exclaimed. A meaningful smile lifted the corners of her mouth. She drew closer to her.
"What if he is really into you?".
"Don't pop ideas into your head" Leila suddenly flicked her finger on Cherry's forehead.
Cherry held her forehead and spluttered. "Who knows?" Cherry fell silent for a moment. She patted Leila's shoulders and asked seriously, "Have you heard any rumours about him?".
Leila put down her spoon and replied, "I heard that he has a cold personality and is a perfectionist at work".
Cherry touched the tip of her nose in frustration. She took her iPad over. "How come he had not a single scandal with any woman?" Cherry poked at the screen.
"Forget it. I am not interested in his private life" Leila grabbed a napkin and began wiping off the sauce stains at the corners of her lips.
Cherry replied with a "Hey" mockingly. "You should at least know about his taste in women".
Squinting her eyes, Leila said, "Just finished your food".
Cherry again cast a curious look towards Leila. "Does Bonnie know about your Dating Contract?"
"No way" Leila answered, "No one from my family can know, Okay".
Cherry nodded and asked, "What about your apartment?".
Leila leaned against the chair and replied, "Oh...They informed me that the construction might be finished this week"
"Then call me when you move in. Let's have a party in your place" Cherry uttered excitedly.

Outside the building's entrance, Nolan asked Bonnie, "How are you going to return home?"
"I would go by taxi" Bonnie replied.
"It's too late. I'll drop you off." Nolan offered.
"No need. I can easily catch a taxi" Bonie politely reject. Right at that moment, a few tiny drops of rain fell from the sky.
Nolan folded his arms before the chest and said, "Don't worry! You are Tony's sister so you are also a sister to me"
"My chauffeur is waiting for us. Let's go" Nolan turned without giving her a chance to say anything.
Meanwhile, Leila got back to her house. After a bath, she chatted with Tony, facing the window.
"Hello, Leila, are you still there?" Tony called out when Leila became too quiet.
"Brother, I call you later" Leila quickly hung up the call. Leila's lips curled into an enigmatic smile.
Nolan reached the passenger side of his car and opened the door. Bonnie stepped outside and turned back, "Thanks," She said with a big smile on her face.
Suddenly, Nolan sensed a dryness from his chest. He replied with a stiff smile. "Welcome!".
Bonnie looked at the tall and sturdy man who walked before her, wearing only a shirt. As she prepared to give his jacket back to him, Nolan abruptly stopped, slightly turned his body to give her a sideways glance, and then said, "Put it on. It's cold".
"Thank you. I will give you back" Bonie said.
"Okay, Doctor Bonnie," Nolan said with a small smile. "Now go inside." He added.
The car only drove away once Bonie enter the building.

"You came back! How was the marriage reception?" Leila greeted with a sweet smile, as she knelt on the sofa while looking at Bonie expectantly.
"Good. I am so tired" Bonnie said as she made her way to her room.
"Who was that lucky man?" Leila asked in a gossipy tone following her. Her ears were dying to hear from Bonie's mouth.
"Who?" Bonnie blandly asked.
"The man whom you just said sweet goodbye and the owner of the jacket" Leila patted a spot on the edge of the bed.
Bonnie cleared her throat and averted her gaze slightly. "Well... He is my patient"
"Bonnie, why are you so boring?" Leila was gazing at Bonie straightly.
Bonnie smiled. The smile on her lips was excessively bright. "Don't run your imagination wild. His name is Nolan Carson, Brother's friend".
"Nolan Carson....?" Leila blinked her eyes. Leila looked at her suspiciously and asked, "How come you know him and I didn't?"
Bonnie wiped clean the lipstick on her lips. "I didn't know him before. I only knew him after Brother referred him to me as his attending Doctor".
"Oh...." Leila raised her beautiful chin slightly. "Seems like you're already close with him!" Leila continued in an almost stubborn way.
Bonnie turned around toward Leila. "I happened to meet him in reception. And I couldn't shake him off when he offered to drive me because he is Tony's friend. Any more questions?" Bonie's eyebrows picked up and looked at Leila.
Leila smiled relaxedly and said, "Okay. He is Brother's friend and your patient." Leila looked at Bonnie deeply and walked out of her room as fast as lightning.
