Putting his mother in place.Alex helped Lee up and led her to his chair. He carefully sat her down and lowered the AC before turning around to meet his mother's furious gaze.“So, this is who you chose over the girl I recommended for you? What have become of you? Do you want to see me laughed at by my friends because of your stupid choices? Fine, if you want to have her isn't one time enough? I am sure she won’t mind as she let you do as you please just now. “The woman kept vomiting poisonous words that burnt as Alex's heart.Lavender listened to the woman insult her but kept her mouth shut. She was used to every derogatory word that she was called. Besides, an assassin has to be flexible. Her job entailed seducing her victims and luring them into. Her traps. That was precisely why she didn't mind how Alexander had touched her.

Rose and Lee walked into the kitchen. They started assembling the ingredients that would be needed to bake. Though Rose was not very good at cooking, she was one of the best bakers in her entire family.She liked to bake as a way to relieve stress.  The two decided on making cookies and ordinary brownies. Additionally,  they would bake a three layered cake together. Lee felt comfortable working in the kitchen with Rose.The  chatted along as they got to know more about each other. They kneeded the cookie dough together and set everything in the oven to cook. As they waited for their work to bore fruits, they sat side by side sipping on a glass of fresh juice which Lee had blended for them." You know, I feel as if I have known you for a very long time. I dont have any fr

 A slim girl laid weakly on a hospital bed sleeping. Her body was wrapped in a comfortable sheet and all that could be seen was her small beautiful face. A sound came from the door as a middle-aged woman came into the room carrying a bag. She looked around until she spotted another figure sleeping on the couch in the room. A look of disdain crossed her face as she slowly approached the girl. The woman then retrieved a shawl from the bag she brought and covered the figure sleeping on the bed. Upon the little movement from the woman, the girl jumped up alert.

Things were back to normal or as normal as they could be for lee. Aside from the awkwardness that seems to hang between her and Alex, everything else was alright. Her sister Hanna was back with her. The bond between Rose and her had grown despite the big disparity that widened the gap between Alex and herself.Even though things were back to how they should have been from the beginning, there were new and interesting things that have been happening around the office. Every morning, Lavender would receive a flower and chocolates from the receptionist on the ground floor. On the weekends, the parcels were delivered to her door.At first, she aids no heed to them but as time passed by, the gifts kept coming in. It reached a point where she got suspicious of the ender and started investigating the source. She was shocked to find out that the man who has been sending her gifts was the business rival of her boss.it was then that she had an epiphany.

Dash looked at Lee with raised eyebrows. Moving into the base was a good idea. But was it the safest? Probably! The most dangerous place can also be the most secure one.Thinking about her reasons, there was something she must have left out. Luca had tried to get her to live with them for quite sometimes but she was adamant about staying away from the estate." Little Ninja, why do you suddenly want to move to the base? Mind you, I like the idea but I have a feeling you are keeping something from me. What sup girl?" Dash asked.Dash was the kind of person who believes in verifying things from the source rather than assuming. He liked and lived by the truth. The biggest sin to him would be someone lying to him. It's a big no-no for the said man.Lee understood this fact. " You are right Mr. I do have another reason. I would have let you know the detail but I am not done collecting all the data. Give me some time and I will give you fully verified information."
