Begging For A Reconciliation

Usually, everyone would only wake up after seven o’clock. But this time, Leah and Serena would be long gone when they woke up. What greeted them was a note from Leah explaining that she had to leave to attend to some matters.

“Heh, didn’t I tell you before? Folks from this city are an unreliable lot. See? They were just here for a day and they’ve already scooted off.” said Gracia sarcastically as she crumpled the note.

Bryan shaked his head and said, “Maybe they had other pressing matters to attend to.”

Rebecca pouted her lips and remarked, “What other matters do they have to attend to? They never looked busy to me. They just can’t take the heat, so stop making up excuses for them.”

Noticing that both the women had something to say about the pair, Bryan decided to shut his mouth and keep quiet.

Not long after, a figure staggered in from outside. His face was bruised and stained with blood. It looked like he was in a bad shape. As he dragged himself close to them, everyone else could finally identify who it was.

In an astonished tone, Rebecca asked, “Sunny? What happened to you? Where did you go? We were looking for you everywhere!”

Sunny’s relatively cheery face turned dark for a moment when he heard that. After a moment, he said embarrassingly, “I accidentally slipped and fell on the road outside.”

“I see. Oh, by the way, did you know that the two women had already left? They didn’t even bother to inform us. They clearly did not take us seriously. As I’ve said before, these people you’ve recruited didn’t look reliable.” complained Gracia.

After hearing that, Sunny’s composure turned even gloomier. He looked around and his eyes met Rebecca’s. They flashed each other a look of understanding.

Sunny proceeded to go to the bathroom to clean up, while Rebecca stealthily approached him. She asked, “Did you do it?”

Sunny quickly scanned his surroundings. Seeing that no one was looking at them, he breathed a sigh of relief. While cleaning his wounds, he replied, “Yeah.”

“Are you nuts? It’s only the first day and you can’t even keep your pants on?” said Rebecca, her eyes wide in disbelief.

Sunny lowered his voice and replied, “Who knew when that guy would return, so I didn’t want to miss the opportunity. But…”
