With a calm breath, she lifted her cup and drank the remaining tea before placing the cup back on the table.

So she stood up slowly and picked up her handbag that was on the seat beside her and looked at Claire with a cold look, which made her entire body stiffen.

Viola did not raise her voice or change her expression, she just simply said in a calm and emotionless tone, “Remember you have only five to seven days.”

After saying what needed to be said, she turned and began walking out of the dining room.

However, she had barely taken three steps when Nathan’s cold voice cut through the air like a knife.

“Don’t bother disturbing her”. He said sharply.

Viola stopped in her steps, but she did not turn around as she waited for his next move.

Walking towards her, he reached into his pocket, and pulled out three shining gold cards.

His expression was firm and full of arrogance as he walked towards her and placed the card forcibly on her hand, saying coldly with a look of disgust, “The

    Viola stared at them for a second and then burst into laughter.“Shy?” she repeated and pointed at them both and continued “You two? The same people who picked a romance movie knowing fully well what it contains?”Vivian peeked at the screen again and immediately covered her face even tighter.“Hey, knowing it will happen and actually seeing it are two different things.” Vivian retorted with pouty lips.Hearing this, Alexa nodded her head and added quickly, “Exactly!” She exclaimed and even said an example “It’s like ordering spicy food and then crying when your mouth starts burning.”Listening to the rubbish Alexa was spilling out, Viola laughed harder. “You know that doesn’t even make sense!”“It makes perfect sense,” Alexa argued. “I like romance, not… whatever this is.” She said, and gestured vaguely at the TV.Viola raised an eyebrow and asked, “So why didn’t you pick a cartoon?”Alexa huffed and replied to her, “Because cartoons are for kids and I’m not a kid”.“Besides, roman

    After eating, Viola pushed her chair back and calmly stood up immediately.“I’m going to my study room,” she said softly and added. “I need to look through some designs.” She said because some department heads have started sending their designs, and she needs to go through them.As she said this, she had barely taken two steps when she was suddenly stopped by Vivian and Alexa who blocked her way.“Hello miss, where do you think you are going?” Vivian asked and folded her arms with her eyebrow raised.Hearing this, Viola blinked her eyes softly and answered honestly, “I told you now that I want to work on some designs.”The moment those words left her mouth again, both Vivian and Alexa frowned deeply with a look of displeasure written boldly on their faces.“Jeez, Viola,” Alexa said with a pout and continued. “Even though we didn’t go to work today, it’s already past work hours.”Vivian immediately shook her head and added, “And you are this tired, yet you still want to work?”Viola

    Collapsing on the bed, the three girls lay side by side for a moment and breathed out tiredly.Then, almost at the same time, they all smiled and grinned happily.The room finally looked neat and arranged.“Finally…” Viola muttered with a satisfied smile as she looked around.When they arrived earlier, they were completely exhausted. She and Vivian had tried to quietly sneak back to their rooms planning to rest first, but Alexa, who had another plan caught them immediately.“No running away!” Alexa had declared with a stern voice, while dragging them both to her room.“If I arrange my things alone, I will still be here by morning, and I can’t just leave it like that”. She said with pouted lips, so they had no choice but to follow her.They helped Alexa arrange her things first, which took more than an hour. And after that, they moved to Vivian’s room to also help her unpack.Now, everything was neat and done.“I need to go take a bath. I’m so sweaty,” Viola said softly as she stood u

    Saying this, the room fell silent again, but they already knew who Xander was so they were not that surprised. Right now, they only pity Clair and her lover because her good days are finally coming to an end.The room was quiet for a while before Xander laughed softly and said, "Alright, enough of the serious mood”. “What about Alexa?” He suddenly asked, and as soon as he said this, Mucheal face immediately softened. So he stared at Maxwell to speak.Staring at Michael's reaction, Maxwell chuckled. Then ignoring the eager look on Michael’s face, he turned to Xander and replied to him, “The last time I checked, she’s doing really fine”. Xander slowly turned his head to look at him and asked with a soft and doting smile on his face, “You are sure?”“Of course man. I have been secretly checking on the Grant family since the accident, while Michael has been taking care of you”. Maxwell said. “Thank you guys”. Xander said and thanked them with a sincere look on his face. He was truly g

    Maxwell soon came out of the bathroom, fully dressed and was drying his hair with a towel.When he was done, he dropped the towel on the chair and walked closer to the bed as he looked at Xander who was lying back comfortably with his eyes half closed. Then suddenly, he opened his eyes abruptly, which startled Maxwell. “Jeez Man, you scared me”. Laughing, Xander asked what has been bothering him, “Why aren’t my parents and siblings here?”Immediately he said this, the room went quiet as Michael froze while Maxwell, who was walking, stopped walking.For a few seconds, no one spoke but seeing their silence, Xander knew they were hiding something. So with difficulties , he sat up straight this time and looked at their faces which told him that his intuition was not wrong.“What?” Xander asked again and continued. “Why haven’t they come to see me? And why are you both looking like that?”Michael and Maxwell exchanged a knowing look, then Michael inhaled deeply and exhaled before say

    Noticing how slow he was walking, Micheal asked with concern written on his face, “Are you ok?”But Xander just nodded his head in response. As Xander slowly walked towards the bathroom, his steps were hesitant and slow. “Are you sure you don’t want us to help you?” Michael asked, as his brow furrowed in concern.Xander shot him a grin and told him with an assuring smile, “No, I’m good. I will manage.”Saying this. Xander paused for a moment, as he felt his shoulder ache slightly, but he pushed through and began walking back.Seeing the worried looks on both their faces, he added so as to calm them down, “Don’t worry, If I need anything, I will call you guys, alright? I’m not going anywhere.”Maxwell finally relaxed and chuckled.“Alright, man.”With that, they both slowly backed off and waited just outside the bathroom door, giving him the privacy he needed.Outside the door, Michael and Maxwell talked quietly,“Do you think he’s okay?” Michael asked, his tone still a little worried
