The next morning, when Andre woke up, he watched Valerie quickly rush into the bathroom to shower.When she came out, he said, "Just give me a second, I won't be long," and he also went into the bathroom to take his bath before coming out.Upon his return, he noticed she was already dressed and she asked him, "Why didn't you just join me when I was going in?""Yeah, because you said you were in a hurry, and I didn't want to delay you," he replied.She shook her head, smiling."I wanted to order breakfast, but then I was thinking we could stop along the way and have something to eat.""No, I don't have the time," Valerie replied. "I need to meet with Julius, and there's this meeting we have at the hospital too. I need to be there early enough. I can't afford to be late.""Alright then, I'll drop you off," Andre offered.He drove Valerie back home, and when they arrived, he followed her into the house. He was expecting a very cold reception from Julius, whether it be an attempted punch,

When it was time for lunch, Andre drove over to the hospital to see Valerie. When he got there, she was standing outside the door waiting for him. He waved at her, and she walked over to his car and got in. He smiled and said, "Since you've invited me today, where do you have in mind for us to go?" "Any place you pick is fine by me," Valerie said."No, I want you to pick a location," Andre insisted.After thinking for a while, Valerie finally came up with her favorite fast-food restaurant, and Andre scoffed, "Of all places.""Well, you had your chance," she replied."Okay, let's go, ma'am."They soon arrived at the location, and Valerie ordered her favorite food for herself and Andre."I'm really in trouble today," Andre commented."Indeed you are. This is what I choose for you, and you have to eat it," Valerie said smiling.Andre began to eat, and said, "Hmm, this doesn't taste so bad. It is my first time, but it doesn't feel like it.""I'm glad you're enjoying yourself," Valerie r

After finishing his meal, Andre looked at Julius, who had a frown on his face and said, "I thought you were in agreement with this meeting, but I sense that you're not happy about it. Why did you come if you knew you didn't want to be here?"Valerie glanced at Julius and then back at Andre, hoping Julius wouldn't give away their plan She wished he would just play along since it was his idea in the first place to search Andre's phone.Julius smiled and replied, "You're right, Andre. I don't want to be here any more than necessary. However, look at Valerie over here. She's very precious to me, and no matter how much I dislike the current situation, I have to prioritize her happiness. Valerie told me that this is what she wanted, so I had to come. She has told me about your trial relationship for a month, and though I wasn't happy about it, I respect her decision. If, after that one month, Valerie still wants to be with you or chooses to spend her life with you, I won't stop her. Her h

Drew stared at his damaged computer, feeling frustrated and angry. He had no one else to blame but himself. He couldn't ask Melody why she didn't remove the chip from the phone when the warning popped up because he was the one who had told her to leave it there for five minutes, and she had taken it out immediately after five minutes. He had lost all the important information in his phone, but he found solace in one thing: he had managed to take down the details of the Ferris contract, which had originally been meant for him but was stolen by Andre. "No matter what, I am not going to let it go through," he vowed.As he looked at the address and other details he had written down, he said to himself, "After tomorrow, there will be no more Andre Scorpion." He started brainstorming different ideas on how to execute his plans. Knowing Andre, he was sure that he would be accompanied by his underlings. Drew had a rough idea of their numbers, and he knew that only a few of them, like Sol

Valerie stared at her phone with a frown on her face. Andre had ended the call abruptly and she thought he wanted to call her back, but he didn't. "Why had he hung up the phone just like that?" she wondered. She decided to call him again, and when he answered, she immediately expressed her dissatisfaction, "I am really cross with you, Andre. How could you just hang up on me like that and then..."Andre interrupted her with laughter, "I was just waiting to see your reaction, and honestly, this reaction makes me very happy.""Oh, wow! Amusing yourself at my expense, I see." She replied. "In all honesty, I was planning to call you before you called me again." Andre chortled. "I ended the call because I wanted to think of something really sweet to tell you. I was making plans to repay your heart-melting gesture, you know. The fact that you called me, professed your love for me and wished me a good night is not something to be taken lightly."Valerie rolled her eyes. "Just a simple 'I
