"It's nice to see you so focused on work".a female voice says as she step in an office staring a man with a face of an ethereal god who was working.

"Am I the type to be unfocused to you maryl?".he said with his deep voice as he glanced at the female clearly unamused.

"You know that's not what I meant?".maryl said."these days you are always focusing on something else so..". maryl didn't finish her sentence but her point had been made.

The male stared at maryl for a few seconds before he spoke."you must have nothing to do right?".

"Oh save me the glare nolan".maryl scoffed."don't use your business tone on me when you know I won't fall for that.i am your sister not one of your employees".

"What are you doing here in my office?". nolan asked staring at the female.

He hated to be disturbed whenever he was working but his little sister never seemed to care at all.

"Is it so wrong to go visit my brother when I miss him?".maryl questioned."is it such a bad thing to do?".

"Just because you are my sister doesn't mean that you can barge in to my office anytime you feel like". nolan said."for whatever reasons you have".

"So?".maryl looked at her brother thinking he was too unreasonable."Am I gonna receive a jail sentence for visiting my brother or is it a death penalty for visiting my brother?".

"I am busy maryl I don't have time for your silly jokes".nolan said."just say whatever it is you have come to say".

"I am bored".maryl suddenly said as she stared at her brother with a smirk.

She loved to tease him at any chance she got.

"What?".nolan couldn't believe hie ears.he wondered on how to get rid of the female who was smirking at him.

"I said am bored".maryl said glad at the reaction she was already receiving,she wondered how her brother would react after he hears what she was going to say next."so i went to see her".she said as watched the male carefully for his reaction.she was also eager to hear what he would say.

The big reaction that maryl was waiting for never came neither did she receive the words she was waiting to hear instead she heard her name called.

"Maryl". nolan called lowly with a warning tone.he was warning her to be careful of her actions.

"Turns out that I was right dear brother".maryl said."you have just been caught by your little sister".

Nolan glared at his sister in anger at her actions."maryl".

"Relax dear brother".maryl said clearly amused."I only took a peek at her.i didn't even speak to her".

"Why were you there in the first place?".nolan asked.

This troublesome sister of his never seems to stay away from trouble.

"Because I was curious".maryl answered."I saw your assistant acting so sneaky once so I decided to follow him".

"At first i thought that maybe he was colluding with an enemy of yours but then I saw him entering into a company watching a woman.trust me when I say it was hilarious".maryl laughed."I thought he was having a crush because of how he was acting but then I found out that it wasn't him but his boss that was having a crush".maryl laughed again.

Nolan who was watching the female was getting annoyed."What's so funny?".

Maryl acted as if she was unable to notice her brother's fierce reaction as she continues to speak.

"Anyways I took a closer look since I didn't believe that you could have a crush on someone else and that's when I realized that it wasn't someone else". maryl said turning serious."when were you going to tell us that you already found her?".

"It's no one's business but mine". nolan said harshly.

"Mom and dad are still searching for her!".maryl yelled."we considered her our family and she truly was part of us so it's our business too".the playful girl from earlier was gone as maryl stared at her brother."I understand that you want to protect her but at least you could have said something so our parents wouldn't continue searching for her".

"Go home maryl".nolan said with a sigh."I have nothing to say to you".

Maryl didn't want to leave just like that so she tried to speak."nol-".

"Go home!".nolan said rudely cutting her off."am done talking to you".

"You are a lost cause".Maryl gave one last glance at her brother before she stood up and walked away.

'Erica'

She turned towards the direction of the voice that was calling her name but saw no one.

'Erica'

The voice called again and this time erica was able to see who it was but it was a male she didn't recognize.

'You seem tired'.the male seemed to be touching someone's head but she couldn't see who it was clearly so she moved closer to the two since she was curious and had no other ideas.

'Am okay'

'Really?.I don't believe you though '

'i am okay, just stressed'

Erica still couldn't see who the male was talking to but she knew it was a woman from the voice.

'Alright if you say so'

'let's go then'

The woman suddenly say standing up walking towards the direction where erica with the male behind her.

Erica eyes were wide opened as she saw the woman's face.she was staring at her own face walking towards her.

She realized that she was like a ghost as the two walked into her and she disappeared.
