Done with work for the day, Sylvie left to meet Westley. He was in his place and had been seeing a movie in his

living room when she entered "Hey, pretty." He stood up, pulling out into a hug. "How was work today?"

"Yeah, it was good. Yours?" She dropped it jacket, taking a seat.

The reason she had a jacket on was to cover her bump. But now, they might be no more covering. She was

starting to consider Kage's suggestion of letting others see she was pregnant "Mine was stressful as hell. Closed

sdeals today." Westley replied.

She flashed him a smile. "Congrats."

After Kage ended their call in the car, he'd called back. But she couldn't pick up and simply texted him that

something cup. Thankfully, he didn't ask questions.

"I have squestions, Wes" She sat up. He was seated beside her now.

"Please, go on."

and Kage:

She hesitated a moment before asking, "What's going on with you and Kage?"

Westley furrowed his brows. "Things have always been going on withand Kage. What're you

He sighed, rolling his neck. "Well, the thing is he might be a little angrier at me. | filed a motion three days ago

"But don't worry, Westley exhaled. "I'm almost done collecting all the evidences | need. By tomorrow, they

should be ready. Ill take them to the Group and let Kage know he's got nothing more on me." "Okay. But did you

"Coming up with it doesn't guarantee he must lead it. As the Group leader, it is his right and responsibility to

Good Lord. How, Sylvie understood why Kage had been acting that way. He probably disliked her for being

engaged to Westley, but couldn't fully hate her because she was carrying his babies..

Westley held her hand. I told you I didn't want you getting involved in our business deals, Sylvie. Leave that to us

and just do what you have to do."

She sighed, looking down at their hands intertwined. "But can't you just... leave it alone? You know, trying to take

course, not! What re not! What're you saying?"

"Then, stop defending him. Just stay out of it, okay? | don't want you involved."

"Okay, fine. Fine. | get you." She rolled her eyes.

It was dark already. Getting into the house, Sylvie was surprised to find Kage and Lana at the dining. Lapa was

laughing to something, although Kage only had a small smile on his face. Sylvie froze at the door, wondering if

she was starting to imagine things. Was it another symptom of pregnancy?

Yes, Kage

and Lana were engaged. Yes, they've always been close. But that seeing them that way was strange.

She blinked herself back to consciousness, closed the doors behind her and forced her legs to move

"Hey, Sylvie. You back. Care to join us for a meal? Lana wore a smile.

She paused, seizing another chance to look at them. They looked... happy. And it was strange. 15:02 Wed, Oct 9
