"You said you slept off as soon as you got into the office, remember?" He said taking the words out of Andrea's tongue. "Ahh, yes. But it's fine." She said as she had other plans. But she wished she could have gotten away with her initial lie. "I'm going home to cook for my husband after all." She said and Leonard nodded. "Ohh." "Yes, he must be waiting for me. I'll get going already." Andrea said as she took her bag and placed her A4 papers and pencil which she used to work in it. Leonard knew that he couldn't stop her to eat at this point even though Edward said to make sure that she ate. *After all, she is going to cook for them both.* He told himself to justify his actions as he watched herake her way out of the office.

Third Person's Pov"I need to go to the market to get some things. You know, my husband can be very picky with his meals and I would feel really guilty if you carry me. I know you're doing this as his friend. But people in the office might misunderstand." Andrea said all in one breath. The reason why she mentioned her last sentence was to make sure that he didn't have a reason to refute her. If he still wanted to carry her after she mentioned that people might suspect that they were having an affair, then he had ulterior motives. Andrea knew that Leonard wouldn't want that to happen.With a smile on her face she watched him raise his hand in surrender. "Yeah yeah. I'll just walk you to till you get in the cab. Just make sure that you take care of yourself well and eat as soon as you get home." He said with concern as they both got out of the elevator on the ground floor. "I will, thank you. I'm also sorry for causing trouble at work today. Thank you for saving me any embarassment

Andrea mouthed to sister June and continued the drill. Sister June knew the assignment and she delivered well. "Now let's all go to the kitchen to have those delicious cookies." "Yayyy." The children screamed in excitement as the walked out of the room which was already heating up due to how crammed up it was. "Eve dear." Andrea said as she gently carried Eve who was just four years old."Let's go get you some cookies." She said and Eve nodded. "Sister Agnes." Andrea called with excitement as she met sister Agnes who was in front of the door and coordinating the children to the kitchen. There was a huge room just beside it, so the children gathered around the dining table and waited eagerly for their promised cookies.

And making a mistake in that view made her feel like she had failed them They had looked up to her and later agreed to support her relationship even though she knew that they secretly disagreed.

It was literally the first time she had spoken about the situation to someone else so she could find comfort. "If only he knew who he was dealing with, he wouldn't have tried that." Tanya said. "Right, if only he knew. Revenge is best served cold I heard, so he will never really know." Liam "Who served it."Tanya added as they walked back up the basement stairs.
