-Lucy’s POV-

I blinked my eyes a couple of times trying to figure out if I was dreaming or not. Here in front of me is the man that I have been searching and longing for a year now, but he seems a bit different now.

    -Lucy’s POV-He made a strong statement with a stern look on his face. He was truly serious. Laura and Philip were so nervous that they looked like ghosts. Philip made a shaky fake laugh, “Mr. Lowell! It is my great honor to see you here today! My wife was just fond of your wife. She took on a liking for her, maybe it is the hormones working. You know how pregnant women are. They talk nonsense at times.” A dangerous smirk formed at the corner of Conner’s lips. “My wife is also pregnant, but everything that comes out of her mouth are full of sense. She is incomparable. Teach your wife some manners or else you wouldn’t be able to stop the consequence that would follow.” Philip scratched the back of his head and bowed at Conner. “I’m so sorry for the manners my wife showed. I promise that this will not happen again. Right, honey?” Laura frowned and whined, “But, honey! Don’t tell me you’re scared of Mr. Lowell! You are a Rodriguez! You are also powerful like him!

Don’t let that b*tch pull you down. “Insulting is an overstatement. I am just merely telling you the truth.” Laura is so mad that her face looks so agitated I could laugh. “How dare you say that to me! Have you forgotten who I am?!” Laura’s voice shivered because of anger. However, I kept my composure and prepared to rebuttal. “Oh I remember who you are. You are Laura Rodriguez, the wife of Philip Rodriguez and a housewife, am I right?” At that moment it felt like her nostrils would explode, “YOU! Honey! Look at her she’s mocking me!” I really thought she would attack me, but she breathed instead and clung unto her husband purring like a slutty kitty-cat. Her husband looked at me with a smirk on his mouth, “You really think you are a boss? Well, maybe you are because a trash like you was picked up by a golden crane. You should be thankful that you ma

There’s something behind this and I intend to know what. So, Mr. Lowell what’s the catch?” He led us to the couch near his table for us to sit comfortably while we talk.

Are you certain you wouldn’t go knocking on Conner’s door tonight to be in his arms, tough momma? The argument of my alter ego is just as annoying as ever. But I swear the endearment in his eyes are awfully tempting. Still, looks like I simply don’t have any choice, but to give in to Conner’s request. I crossed my arms across my chest, “You just don’t give me any choice, do you? This is all your fault! I shouldn’t be hiding this way and be fearing for the our safety if it wasn’t for your rivalry!” Suddenly my hormones are kicking in and I just want to put on a fight with Conner. “Mr. Conner Lowell!
