LOGIN"So what is the problem? And why did you call me? We aren't close enough for you to call me out of the blue, especially not after ignoring me just yesterday," Lisa said to Peter as they sat opposite each other in the cafe. The air conditioner from the cafe blew against Lisa's skin.
Peter smiled inwardly, so she had actually noticed he had ignored her...There was still hope for him after all. "It was not a deliberate action. I just had a lot on my mind. I'm sorry if it made you feel bad," Peter said, flashing her an apologetic smile."So what is the problem?" Lisa asked again as the waiter served her a bowl of rice and other side dishes, which Peter peered at suspiciously."Do you always eat this carelessly?" He asked, looking at her food. As a model, she wasn't supposed to overeat carbs."Have I ever complained to you about my body or weight? Can you please just answer my question?" Lisa asked impatiently. She needed to be ready to join Tyler and Mira when the"So what is the problem? And why did you call me?

Mira kept trying Victoria's mother's number, but it wasn't connecting. She couldn't understand what was going on.Just a moment ago, she had called and was about to say something when the line suddenly went deadWas she in danger? Why wasn't her line connecting again? Was someone out to hurt Victoria and her mother? She wondered as she paced around her room.Maybe she needed to go to Mexico, at least it was the weekend, and she could resume work by Monday. She said to herself as she stood up to pack a bag. A slight knock on her door interrupted her."Are you going somewhere or just unpacking?" Mrs. Dalton asked with a frown when she entered the room and saw Mira's bag on the bed."I need to check on my best friend's mother and help her find Victoria," Mira said, pausing to look at Mrs. Dalton ."Oh! I understand. I'll just ask Tyler to get ready and take you there," Mrs. Dalton said. "That won't be necessary- no need to bother him. I'm sure he has a lot to do
Jessie stepped inside his family house. He took off his shoes and wore the in-house slippers before turning to face his father, whose hands were extended for a hug."I’ve missed you. Welcome home, son,' His father said as he hugged him. Jessie felt indifferent about the hug. He wasn't interested in a father-son relationship at this point in his life.He glanced at the others and smiled at his step sister, who simply smiled and said,"You still look cool," as a form of welcome home before turning to leave. He liked her most in the family. Peter nodded his head in greeting before wearing his shoes and leaving. He wasn't interested in watching his father play a loving father role to Jessie, who had been away this whole time while he was here seeking validation from him.Mrs. Alexander, on the other hand, gave him a wide smile. "I missed you, Jessie," She said, extending her hand to hug him, but he simply walked past her without responding to anyone's greeting. Mak
Tyler watched Mira, hoping she would finally open up so he could tell her what she needed to know. He held his breath as he waited for her response. "Not exactly. The only issue between us was..." Mira paused and looked at Tyler. This wasn't the best time to keep secrets, Victoria was missing, and if there was any way she could get Tyler to help her, then she had to be honest. "We promised each other that we weren't going to tell this to anyone, but I really need your help right now, so I have to tell you the truth. My best friend's name is Victoria," Mira said and paused when something occurred to her. "Wait for a second. You must have known that already, don't you?" Mira asked, scowling at him. "Know what? Her name?" Tyler asked, not liking the sudden change in the direction of the conversation. "Do I look dense to you? I'm very sure you know her name, and I'm equally sure you must have met her," Mira said thoughtfully, thinking of all the times she had mentioned Victori
Some hours earlier.Tyler joined his mother at the dining table after changing into a casual wear. He was wearing a black tank top and joggers."So why did you want to see me?" Mrs. Dalton had asked him."Do I need a reason to see you? I just stopped by to see my lovely mother and spend my weekend in her company," Tyler said, giving her a cute smile.He was enjoying the banter with his mother."You're sure it doesn't have anything to do with the presence of a certain realtor in the house? When was the last time you came to see your lovely mother without a reason?" Mrs. Dalton asked as she took a bite from the freshly baked bread in front of them."C'mon, mom, you don't always have to talk about everything. Can't you just pretend like I am here to see you? We both know why l am here, so kindly play along, or you don't want a daughter-in-law anytime soon?" He asked, winking at her."Is that supposed to be a threat?" Mrs. Dalton asked with a smile.His phone started ringing before he co
Mira ran into her room and closed the door with her back against it. What if his mother hadn't interrupted them? What would have happened? Would he have kissed her? How far would they have gone?" She cupped her cheeks in her hands as she thought of it.She quickly moved over to the dressing mirror in her room and watched her reflection as she fanned her flushed face.She couldn't believe Tyler had managed to get her worked up so easily and so soon.What a way to start her day.She quickly slipped out of her nightgown and walked into the shower. She needed to get ready for the day... It was going to be a perfect day with Tyler around. She thought with a smile.She quickly stepped out of the shower, rummaged through her box, and brought out her hair dryer. She sat on the bed and started blow-drying her hair.Her mind suddenly flashed to Victoria, and she decided to try her number again before calling Lisa. She quickly dialed Victoria’s number and frowned when it still didn't connect. Th
