“Why don’t you reply my text?”
The hand that yanked Lila from her seat now helped her to stand steadily. “Tony, how do you know I’m here?” Lila tried to free her wrist from Tony’s harsh grip.
“Why don’t you reply my text?” Tony asked again, tightening his grip. “And what are you doing, sitting alone at the bar, looking so sad? Are you trying to pick up a man just to get back on me?”
The volume in Tony’s voice was normal, but the restaurant was quiet since the scene had begun the moment Lila’s glass fell onto the floor, drawing people’s attention on them.
Very embarrassing for Lila. She whispered. “Let go of me!”
“Just because I said I would forgive you if you cheated on me, doesn’t mean that I look forward to be cheated on.” Said Tony again with his normal voice level.

“Why did you do that?” Even though Lila couldn’t see clearly since her eyes became watery, but she knew very well whose voice was that. “Let go of my hair, Aunt Cara!” Lila’s aunt didn’t let go, instead she dragged Lila to secluded parking area where not many cars parked. It was a short and painful distance for Lila. Her aunt gave a last hard pull before let go of Lila’s hair. “I knew you always been ungrateful, but how can you do that to your cousin?” Aunt Cara fumed. “What did I do?” Lila took few steps away from her aunt’s arm reach.

“Schedule the meeting on the weekday!” Andrew snarled. “Why they scheduled the board meeting on the goddamn weekend?”“Because they’re free on the weekend.” Andrew’s assistant, Max, replied calmly.“Do I look like I’m free on the weekend?” Andrew snapped. He didn’t want telling anybody that he had to be a bartender every weekend for the whole month because of some stupid bet.“No… You’re free everyday.” Said Andrew’s cousin, Henry, followed with a roar of laughter.Because right now Andrew was not in his office, he was in Henry’s penthouse. And instead of working, he was playing video game. Very much the opposite of what he was trying to present himself.“At least, I earn some money which you heartlessly spending it.”Earn some money was disparaging statement.

Lila stepped out of the car as soon as Andrew pulled it into a complete stop and killed the engine. She didn’t know that Andrew was narrowing his eyes at her as he couldn’t do his old gentleman habit because she was busy admiring the scene before her eyes. “And there is where the elders live.” He continued.

He was holding the car door open from the outside. Lila stood firmly on the ground, carrying her bag on the shoulder, she let out a brilliant smile. “I mean it, thank you. You made my day, and I’m sorry we lost the game.” Andrew gave a tilted smile at Lila and looked at her gently. Leaning on the side of the car, he asked. “So, this is your father’s best friend’s house?” Lila nodded once. “Have you consider finding your own place?” “Yea, still looking for the perfect one.” Andrew hummed. “Go on then, you said they’re waiting for you.” “Yea, see you…” Lila waved, then she walked on the gravel path towards the front door. As soon as Lila disappeared inside the house, Andrew got into the car. He didn’t drove away immediately, instead he pulled out his phone and called
