8 Chapter 7 : The peaceful and not so peaceful meetings.

Third person point of view

They both were well aware that, they have no way of escaping it. They have no other choice but to accept it. Jade knew that Leo was clearly in low spirits in the past few days. Not only him, on the other side, even Ken could see the disturbance in Luke's eyes.

Leo saw his phone ringing and the call was from an unknown number. He rubbed his hands on the apron. Since he doesn't have paint on his hands and is not dirty like Jade always says, he picked up his phone. He raised an eyebrow and answered wondering who it might be. " Hello ". " I have to speak to you ". " Who is it ? " " You know me ". Leo was about to ask again or even just hang up. But he guessed it might be Luke. " Luke ? " There is no way anyone would call him and speak like that. It turns out that he was indeed right.

" Wow. So you do remember me. I am at the same place you saw me last time, near the parking lot. Don't do things like not coming and not picking up if I call again. You know this involves the both of us ". Luke hung up after that. Leo was looking at the screen and pursed his lips. He gave it a thought. Then he stood up and walked out to meet Luke. As he walked closer, he found Luke's car parked to a side. He walked towards it. Luke was waiting in his car. He was tapping his fingers on the steering wheel.

He heard someone knock on the window. He turned and saw Leo looking at him. He gestured for Leo to get in. Leo sat in the passenger seat beside Luke. " What is it ? " " I wanted to speak to you regarding this matter ". Luke was looking straight ahead while speaking. " Even if we don't like this, we both know that this is not something we can avoid or escape. So let's just do it. We will see and do something after a few days and find a solution for it. "

Luke spoke and took a breath to look at Leo. Leo seemed to be thinking as well. Leo nodded slowly. Leo knew very well that he has no chance to escape. He has to go along with it no matter what. So he just heard everything and nodded. " I get it ". He finally looked at Luke. Luke gave a small smile. " Save my number. I don't like to keep introducing myself every time I call ". Leo rolled his eyes and shook his head with a small smile.

" Is that it ? " Luke nodded. " I will leave then ". Luke nodded again. " Bye and don't just nod or shake your head for everything ". Luke nodded once more. Leo squinted his eyes and Luke realized what he did. So he answered with his mouth. " Okay. I will answer ". Leo gave him a final look, shook his head slightly and got out of the car. Luke huffed and then smiled lightly and started the car. Leo walked back and Luke drove to his work place.

The next day, around the afternoon, Leo was busy but someone told him that he has someone looking for him. He wondered who it was. There were never people who would send someone to look for him. He put aside what he was doing and decided to see who it was. He went to see a girl in a dress with high heels and make up. She looked expensive. He has never seen her before. He wondered why there was someone like this looking for him.

" Excuse me ". She turned to look at him and removed her glasses. " You are Leo ? " She asked with a look he didn't know what it meant. He nodded anyway. She didn't even know his face when she asked for him ? That is surprising. " I am. What are you here for ? " He didn't want to sound rude even if her tone was harsh. She sighed and glanced around gritting her teeth. " You are the one getting married to Luke ? " Leo nodded with a bit of a doubt, blinking a few times. " What the hell is happening ? How can you do that when I am the one who likes him ? I am not going to let you marry him. Let me see how you will do it ".

Leo has never been this confused in his whole life like he was now. " What is your problem ? " " You are the problem. How can you just agree to it ? How dare you ? I am not going to let you be happy. Got it ? He is going to be with me, not you ". She shouted and left the place. Leo couldn't even say anything. He ruffled his hair out of frustration. He opened his mouth and closed it again. He looked around with his hands on his hips. He scoffed thinking of it. What the hell even happened ? Who is she ? What was the purpose of her meeting him ? He couldn't even get it into his head. He didn't even know what happened just now. It was over even before he could register anything. He took a few deep breaths and went back to his work.
