"Thank you" I slightly bowed to show respect to the officer in front of me
"Let's go," said Val, as cold as ever while walking out of the office
"Hey! Wait " I chased him out
"What? " he turned back and looked straight into my eyes, something about him was off. He was cold, really cold, almost untouchable, and far distant from what I've known him for, for some reason I didn't feel so distant when he forced his lips onto mine but I felt so beneath him when he talked to me like that, well, I think it's for a good reason it will be less hard for me to leave him.
"Can you drop me at Alisha's house? " I said slightly rubbing my arm with my palm
Suree" he replied opening the door for me and giving me a sign to get in
"Ohโ oh! Thank you " I slightly blushed a little and took the invitation. Val got in too and started working on his laptop, I thought it would've been a silent ride but Dexter kept me entertained until he got a warning gaze from Val.

" take care," said Val
" Wait! Take your coat " I impatiently uttered
" keep it, I don't want other men to look at my wife," he said closing the window and driving off. His words made me feel weird somehow, somehow there was a weird tickling in my heart and a thousand butterflies swirling a storm inside my tummy.
" So you are going to stay frozen there? " said a familiar voice gaining my attention. I turned around to find Alisha with her prettiest smile ever, I rushed towards her and threw myself into her arms, for a few minutes we both didn't care about the time, place, and people, we were just inseparable.
" I missed you " I cried
" I know, I'm here," she said holding back her tears
We both went inside and I told her about the contract. Unlike our previous conversation where I told her things over call, I wanted to tell her about the marriage by myself and I also missed her. She listened carefully and suggested I be careful and not mess with Val anymore, he is not a safe guy. I nodded to her suggestion with a heavy thought crashing me that if he is a bad guy then why he is so good to me? is there a motive? but what can he possibly hope from someone like me?
" Hey! " said Alisha, shaking my right arm
" Yes? " I replied
"Do you want some strawberry shake? " she asked
" Not feeling it " I replied
"Why don't we go out to have some fun? " she asked
"When? " I asked
"Tomorrow? At the new authentic Korean restaurant opened nearby " she replied showing me a few pictures of the restaurant which looked tempting.
" but I don't have any money on me and my job is gone too," I said, hesitating.
" it's on me, don't worry " replied Alisha
Unlike me, Alisha was rich. She worked as a waitress during summer vacation because she was not a spoiled princess, she was low-key to life and did not have any attitude towards anyone. Right when we were talking my phone started ringing, it was Val. it was time to go, even tho I didn't want to but I had no choice. I hugged Alisha goodbye and promised to see her tomorrow at the decided venue.

" How did it go? " asked Val
" what do you mean? " I asked pouring water into his glass
" your meeting with the new girl " he replied sipping on water
" it was just the usual, we will go to this new restaurant she told me about" I replied taking a seat next to him
" be careful," she said looking straight into my eyes, for a moment I froze and hesitated to ask why.
" she doesn't feel like someone with good intentions" he continued.
" I appreciate you genuinely care for me but she and I grew up together, you don't need to give an opinion about her" I replied.
" as you wish " he replied. he looked upset but I can't just let him judge my best friend, she have been with me for the longest time I remember.
" I will go to bed, good night," I said, standing up.
" good night " he looked deeply into my eyes and I felt a bit guilty for being rude to him.

After serenity left, I got on my laptop to redesign my current project. Something I'm passionate about and working on, with this being completed the stocks of G.V and all my hard work will pay off. As the tales said that behind every successful man, there is a woman, behind me was my mother. A woman who dreamt of having everything I have and going to achieve, for her. The day I finally launch this project, I will finally take a break and rest.
" You are such a good boy, Val," said a familiar voice. I vibrantly looked around to find a trace of that voice and there in the corner stands the reflection of the most angelic appearance a woman can have. The same long floral dress with silky long brown hair for the longest I could remember
" Mom?" I cried
Tears were rolling down my cheeks and my mind was in a void. the dazzling moonlight reflected through her appearance and a smile formed on her face, she spread her arms and I ran as fast as I could, like the younger me who still knew his mom will be at the doorstep waiting for him. I fell right into her arms and I just started crying my eyes out, I didn't know why I was crying, I was maybe exhausted. She didn't say a word, she just embraced me, I don't know how long it's been but I fell asleep. The next thing I know is that Mr.Moreau woke me up.
" did you see her again? " he asked, hesitant.
" Hm," I shrugged back my shoulders and relaxed on the couch.
" maybe you should take a day off young master, you have been working nonstopโ" he continued
"I'm fine, where is serenity? " I asked
" ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ฎ๐ฆ left for a meeting with her friend, young master " he replied
" Blue Swan, that is the name of the restaurant, right? " I asked
" I think so, young master " he replied
" Ask dexter to cancel my meetings for noon," I said getting up from the couch
" as the young master wishes," said Mr.Moreau, slightly bowing as curtsey before leaving me alone in the empty room.
" let's see what this little friend of yours is upto, ๐ด๐ ๐ด๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ "
