He had a rendezvous planned with Nathan, and he hadn't forgotten to bring along the gift he'd picked up.

The constant buzzing of his phone sparked Nathan's curiosity, "Who's bombarding you with messages? It's like non-stop."

"Just work stuff."

Nathan raised an eyebrow, leaning in a bit closer, "You sure about that? You seem way too chill. It's not Ms. Miller, is it?"

Before he could finish his sentence, the elevator doors had already opened. Felix stepped out first, "Let's not talk about that kind of

stuff in front of Listina."

"But you guys broke up, didn't you?"

It was an offhand question from Nathan, who remembered a twhen Listina had called it quits with Felix because of his

popularity with the ladies. Right after that, trouble had flared up, and though the breakup had been spoken aloud, and their

engagement had been arranged by their parents in the past, Felix had remained deeply committed to Listina, honoring his late

mother's last wishes.

Felix didn't respond, instead walking into Listina's hospital room. Nathan zipped his lips. Everyone knew Listina was the jealous

type, unable to stand any woman who got close to Felix.

Listina's face didn't light up in surprise when she saw them enter. She managed a faint smile, "Felix, Nathan."
