"Welcome back, Erza. " he said while intently looking at me.

I rise up my aye brow and smiled at him.

I walked closer to him while fixing my white handbag.

"Nice to see you again, Astrair Grayfaurd. " I said in humor.

I looked at him intently, I can't help my hands for shaking a bit. I still can't believe that we will meet this early.

He smiled at me but I can't see any humor in there. "Let's proceed to the conference room, they're waiting. " he said then walk away without glancing at me.

What else is new?

When I reached the conference, there are people there waiting. I can also see a middle aged woman who's holding a piece of magazine where I was there.

"Welcome back, Erza. " Kara said that looks like she's already promoted.

I smiled and sat on the chair provided for me.

The meeting started and they are all looking at me. This meeting was for sake of the new architects. This serves as an orientation for that new project Sir Al mentioned back in the US.

"Hi, Erza. Or should I say, Scarlet Quevas in Paris Fashionista. How are you? " Asked that middle aged woman.

The attention of some directed to her.

"I'm fine, madame. " I said and gave a courtesy.

"I've heard a lot about you from my daughter. You're here because you want to lead the Palacio Royale in one of the islands in Visayas, am I right? " she added that made me smile.

"Uh, yes. Actually, Sir Alstreim Grayfaurd assigned me so I got no choice since I had already signed the contract. " I said.

Some of the board and audience gasp, as if they were shock from what I just said.

Is there something wrong from what I said?

"You mean, you doesn't like coming back here if Alstriem didn't gave you a contract? " She asked.

I am a bit embarrassed but I nodded. What else is the purpose for me to come back here though?

"But I've heard that you worked here for almost five years, what's the reason of neglecting it? " She asked a bit confused.

I almost frowned frowned from her question, but I pushed myself to smile.

I didn't answer because I have nothing to answer. And also, he was watching and I need to act as if I didn't notice him.

I was about to open my mouth and compose an answer when he talked. "Enough questioning her secluded life, Mama. She's not our business. " Astrair said, made me turn to him.

Did he just said, Mama?

I admit that I am shocked from that fact but the pain in my chest is much more evident.

"She's not our business? " why does that sentence is too heavy?

I fisted my palms and look at his direction. I caught him staring at me with the same intensity.

Huh! How dare he gaze at me as if I did something unacceptable. This is absurd!

"Oh, Son. I was just asking her about few things. Besides, you don't want your sister disappointed, are you? " The middle aged woman said softly.
