A/N:

Sorry for the late update. Been busy with reality. Moving out places and turning over my job. Handling three projects at one at a time definitely sucks and there's one toxic 'ENGINEER' that keeps stressing me out.

Don't be like her. No license yet and acts like she knows everything. Belittling people in the company. Acting superior every time. She got such confidence because she's the owner's pet but everyone hated her guts. Poor thing. No friends in her working area. LOL.

Seriously. Why such people exist?

"I think the sexiest thing about a woman is confidence, but confidence in a humble way, not in an arrogant way. Sense of humor is definitely important. And sunglasses always hide a multitude of sins. Sunglasses and a great pair of heels can turn most outfits around." – V. Beckham

Chapter 014

"What's troubling you?"

It was the week after and Gusion had decided to take Lesley for another dinner date. Taken place was in a rooftop restaurant of some fancy hotel that Lesley undoubtedly suspected was his.

Grock, Ling and Johnson had walked them to the floor as they were seated immediately. Not only were they given with such privacy. The view was spectacular. Looking out over the city lights below.

Lesley tried to push away her worries but she couldn't help but worry about her missing family. She knew their location; it's just that she hasn't got the chance to find them on her own as Gusion doesn't seem to let her go. She is always guarded up by his tanks and guards.

She didn't know why but something started to bother her mind.

'Suddenly, I just want to know more about him. Why my father is so against him.'

She never had a reason not to trust Gusion. He's always been her savior after all. But lately, Lesley thought that there is something in him that her gut is telling her to keep looking into it.

Gusion had been gone out this morning and disappearing every single night and for longer hours than normal. She doesn't question him and doesn't want to pry either.

She never tells the encounter between her and Chou. Grock doesn't seem to tell him either. Lesley won't tell him afraid of what will he'll do once he knows it.

"What's worrying you?" Gusion asked. His fingers rubbing his own temples. He seems annoyed for some reason. "You look like you're worrying too hard."

She gave him a warm smile as she shakes her doubts away. "No more worrying for now. Atleast."

"I just realized that I didn't really know anything about you." Lesley confessed.

"What do you want to know?" He asked as he raised a single brow. Searching her face and looking straight into her emerald eyes.

"What about relatives?" She started.

"A few." He relaxed his broad back against his seat. "But I banished and left the line of the Paxley Family. I have a cousin, Chou. He's my underling. He handles the legal side of my businesses. The rest are my stupid elders. Some are my trusted people who aren't related to my blood but still considered family." Gusion says calmly.

"What about your parents?" Lesley added.

"They're alive but they treat me as no one after I banished." 'Stupid Mages principles.'
