"Who-" he suddenly found her familiar and remembered she was one of the old Cassie friend"how did you get here" his voice was cold and Nian Nian wanted to shiver outwardly but controlled herself,she cleared her throat "I've been staying here for a few days now"
Adrian raises his brow but didn't question forward "Cassie's taking a shower"
Nian Nian nods and once Adrian passed her,she let out a breath that was holding her chest
Stacy had been busy ,she and Mark don't keep In touch because they have no business to talk about, her investigation wasn't leading to anywhere and she avoiding her step father at all cost,she had even resign from the company,returned every family bank card and heirloom given to her,she also ignored his calls and her relatives also,she was still investigating her mother's death as Mary told her that her mom didn't die from stress or any of that the doctor said and that her mother was being fed slow poison from the beginning
She had wanted to check her mother medical reports but the hospital was told by her step father to never let anything out
Her investigation was going no where but she felt something was wrong,Stacy sat on the couch,the tv was off and she was staring at the blank screen,papers scattered in the couch and center table, including the floor,she needed someone help but remembering a incident at that person house,she couldn't help but shiver so she decided to call the person
Adrian had just finished telling the maid what to prepare when his phone rang,the maid excused herself to the kitchen while Adrian sat in the study on the small couch,he picks the call and stays quiet
"Hey Adrian,can I come over" Stacy asked, quickly adding "it's important"
"You do know Cassie is around"
"Yes but I really need your help with something"
"Hm...I'll ask Cassie"
"Eh why?" Shee blurts out before correcting herself "I mean,what if she doesn't agree, please,it's really important"
"I'll talk to her and we'll see"
Seeing there's no other choice, Stacy sighed and nodded even if he couldn't see her"okay" she cuts the call, praying Cassie agrees while rushing up with her phone to dress
Cassie was still enjoying the warm water in the bathtub when someone knocked "Cassie it's me" hearing Adrian voice,she looks down to make sure the water is bubbles were covering her well"come in"
The door opens and Adrian walks in,like always,he squats down beside the bathtub "something wrong?"
Adrian shakes his head "Stacy wants to come over"
"Hm?"
"She said it's for something important"
"I see"
"Should I let her come?"
Cassie looks at him, thinking for a while"let her come and tell her to come before dinner starts"
"Okay" but Adrian doesn't stand up and just stays there "is there something else?"
"I came back from travel and didn't get much of a welcome"
"Huh?" Cassie looks at Adrian beside her 'won't it be awkward if I told you welcome now?' she thought to herself,she then sighed "welcome back"
"That's not enough...Can I get a welcome kiss?"
It was quiet for a while, Cassie calculated how long he was home,a month and few days,her stomach gave an uncomfortable feeling... This wasn't a public place but a bathroom, Cassie knew that the 2 times her and Adrian kissed,he never went further and plus, they're dating but... inside her was weighing the options,she could see Adrian blue eyes pleading her and because of that,her body moved on its own, making her to nod her head 'what could possibly go wrong'
