She was no Mary Sue, but at the same, she wasn't a heartless person and could feel when her brother was actually downl

"Should I fire Rodrigo?" He asked after a heartbeat and Leonica's answer came almost immediately.

"No!"

He blinked twice in surprise.

"I'll handle Rodrigo, so you just pretend like nothing's wrong. Like we never had this conversation." "Handle as in?"

Pressing her tinger against her lips, she smiled. "That's a secret." With that, she pushed off her father table and walked towards the door, but just as she was passing Melvin, she stopped and much to his surprise, gave him a gentle punch on the shoulder. "The next time you disappear on us, I'll personally kill you. Melvin chuckled. "You're sure to rub off Owen with your aggressive nature."

Owen out of this."

At his words, Leonica glared at him. He was quickly about to apologize for calling her aggressive when she spoke. "Keep On He was stunned for a second before realizing that she was simply being protective. This time, he laughed, a genuine one. "You really do like him don't you?"

"That's none of your business." She shot back

"If you like him so much," Melvin began, chasing after her as she left their father's study. "Why not propose to him?"

Propose to him? Ha, if only he knew Owen had already proposed, but she was just the one too afraid to ruin his life with her whole life's drama, to say yes. "shut up Melvin, before I actually shut your mouth for you."

Melvin chuckled at her threat, throwing his hands up in surrender when she glared back at him.

When she returned to the peaceful silence of her home, she smiled and after refreshing and making herself a smoothie, she wandered towards the drawer in her room, pulling it open to gaze at the red velvet box that held ring that Owen had bought for her. Picking it up, she peeled the lid and examined it once again before taking it out and gently slipping it into her finger.

It fit like a lucky charm!

Raising it up, she watched as it sparkded under the artificial light of her light bulb with a smile.

She liked it and loved it's giver even more.

The rumbling of her phone against the table had her loolding away and a different expression overtoolcher face when she saw Rodrigo's name flashing across her

screen

He was calling far earlier than she expected. Well, what is to be expected of a person who is trying to ditch as quickly as possible?

Grabbing the device off the bed, she swiped right on the answer Icon and pressed the phone to her ear

"Hello Mr. Rodrigo, you have an awful habit of calling at random times."

"I apologize, Mrs. Smith, but I promised to contact you as soon as I had the company papers and I do. So, shall we proceed with the business deal? How about set a meeting for tomorrow?"

"perat. I'll wastor you at Hollway Gerent's restainant then."

"Alright," Leonica said and hung the call up, immediately calling someone else. The phone rang for a few seconds befor it was answered. "Hi, Florence." She faused a cheerful tone, trying her best not to sound intimidating in case she scared off the journalist before her work was done.

"Hi Nica, pleasure hearing fron you again. Do you got another story to diep for me?"

"No, thot called in give you some advice concensing the previous story i shared." She informed. "I noticed that up till now, you still haven't posted it, which is a good thing seeing as a major event including the Romero family is about to happen.

The jounalist thought he woods over for a few seconds before agreeing. "You're right, but how am i meant to know when to do that?"
