Ownshrugged. "Same as usual, boring and firing. Although the shot is meant to wrap op next week

"I see," Leonica hummed as she reached out and grabbed her laptop. "So, you should be back home by next week, right? Wanna get dinner with me when you're back? "Would love to lucemia. I have rehearsals to get back to, but

the sure to call me if you need anything."

"Will do." Leonica said and reached for her phone, about to end the call when Owen spoke up

"Do me a favor, hoce mia?" when she hummed, giving him the green light to continue on, Owen added. "Please be careful around jail. He's up to something, I can tell."

Leonica smiled. "I know, but don't worry. I can handle myself."

"I know you can, but I can't help but be conceed. After all, with everything going on, he can suddenly decide to capitalize on the opportunity."

*Capitalize on the opportunity?" Leonica repeated more to herself rather than asked a question, as a bunch settled in.

"Yeah is everything alright."

"Yeah, I just.chought of something. I'll talk to you later."

*Sure hace mia. Good luck at the party."

But what did he hope to gain from this?

Her affection? Surely he didn't think that if her family suffered such a tiny blow he could show up as her light in shining armor, save her and have her falling into his arms, begging for his love

Ha, just the thought of that was fucking revolting!

But thankfully Leonica didn't have the attention to ponder all about her scummy ex boyfriend, instead, she wondered; just how many people were in on Irene's appearance.

After the security fred she had watched, it was obvious that trene had an accomplice, so just who were they?

And what was famil's involvement in this entire thing? Was he a pawn like me? Manipulated like she was to release all those posts?

Leonica sighed as her brainstared to hurt. So many things were going on, and it was hard for her to keep track of everything.

She really hated it when things got out of hand like this.
