Before three months had been completed Mateo tried all he could to make Atropa fall inlove with him from "mistakenly" kissing her cheek to "mistakenly" getting them both stuck in an elevator.
Non of Mateo's usual things to make a girls heart flutter worked on Atropa.
He even used his go to slam on the wall thing.
He got punched in the face because of that and that day was when he realised Atropa couldn't fall inlove with him
He didn't have enough time with three months so he had to tell his brother as fast as he could so that another plan could be decided and so that he could find a way that Atropa could not recognise Joseph at the ball tommorow but who wouldn't recognise their long time enemy?
Mateo was just at his house not just a house but a mansion, obviously it was his, since today he took a sick leave and thankfully scored a day off from Atropa, though she never let people take days off she decided to make an exception since she was "feeling like being kind" but Mateo had no idea where his brother was, since for some reason his brother never contacted him when he came back, so Mateo didn't know about his well being.
"Since Joseph hadn't contacted him about the falling inlove thing he probably had forgotten and would probably not go to the ball this year right?" Mateo thought to himself as he sighed loudly
"Yes brother would never do that unless he actually likes Atropa since going to the ball will destroy my plan." He said whispering under his breath.
