Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Behind them, Mars commented, "Andre, you're starting to talk nonsense lately, aren't you?" Though the friends didn't hang out often, they had heard bits and pieces about each other's lives. Conner chimed in, "We've all heard your wife is quite the fighter."

"You heard wrong."

"Then what's this about you being a victim of domestic violence by your wife?" Conner pressed on.

Andre sighed, "You wouldn't get it since you're not married."

Their relationship with Mia was always a bit distant. They knew of each other but rarely talked, and they weren't close. They'd only met a handful of times and never really got to know one another. So, when Mia showed up, there wasn't much conversation.

Teddy shifted the topic, "What's going on with Leo? You went through all this trouble to have me post a job listing just for him, without any requirements. Just looking for Leo."

Mars added, "Yeah, and wasn't it just a bit ago you were bragging about your nephew taking over your business? Even agreeing to become the executive assistant? But when we came to the office today, it was empty." Andre replied, "He got fired, and his family kicked him out."

"Asher asked, "Andre, really? You're practically like a father to Leo. How could you bear to do that?"

Andre took a deep breath, "It had to be done."

"If you really could bear it, you wouldn't have asked us to help him."

"But the help didn't work out."

Mars pondered, "Andre, why does Leo want to go into tech? He could just take over the family business and live the easy life. Why struggle in tech? Does he even know anything about it?" Andre nodded, "He knows."

Mars was puzzled, "That doesn't make sense. You raised Leo and taught him everything he knows. You don't know anything about tech, so how could he?"
