Had these two met before?

Leonica sighed, and tumed to the male. "You, what's your name?"

He flashed her a small smile and answered. "Jamil Vanadas."

The name called effortlessly off his tongue that to the others present, it meant nothing, but to Leonica, who was currently trying her best to keep her expression neutral it meant everything. She knew himm

Who wouldn't recognize the face of their high school bully. The one person who, along with his goons, had nearly made life a living bell, despite all the authority and riches she had thanks to her family name,

"det out." She repeated, "Unless you want to stay and watch as your boss makes a fool of himself."

The stranger, Jamil, as he was now known as, chuckled and turned towards his two employees "Leave" He commanded.

When Flocence and Jason, Florence especially, showed signs of hesitation, the smile on his lips completely disappeared. "Stay if you want the first thing you see tomorrow inorning to be lay off letter." Hearing this, they didn't dare utter a single word and quickly left, leaving Jamil and Leonica alone in the office.

"what the hell are you doing here, Vanadas? Leonica asted as she crossed her arms, eyes never leaving the man in front of her.

before saying "That's the answer I expected to hear. But," he took a step forward, closing the distance in a way Leonica didn't like but she stood her ground. "Do you think you can reject me that easily, Leonica?" She frowned. "I had my way back in high school, and have it now. I want you, and I will do anything, and I mean anything, to have you. Even if that means destroying you." "You've got to be kidding me." Leonica mumbled as her eyes narrowed. "Do you seriously believe you have a chance, Jamil?
