Meet Me Halfway

Chapter 22: UNFORSEEN REVELATIONS

Jarelle told me all about it. His grandparents didn't survive the surgery, I tried to comfort him but I didn't know how.

"Jarelle, I'm sorry for your loss, My condolences." I said softly

"Thank you, they left their father their will and I was addressed in it, my father said I would be the one to open it."

I was curious as to why his grandparents wanted Jarelle to be the one to open the will. I'm just gonna keep up with the news and ask him about the funeral,I would like to pay my respects to his grandparents.

The following days have been filled with work. I didn't expect Jarelle to be this busy, his guards have been moving him left and right and won't let him go alone for the time being, I understand that it's his grandparents funeral but that doesn't explain the added security moving him around town. Suddenly I heard a whisper behind me.

"Alianna, come here, I have something to tell you." Jarelle whispered

I was shocked by his sudden appearance, he probably sneaked out just to tell me something,how sweet.
