"Yeah, if you need to stay longer I can grab a taxi"

"No, my lady I'll escort you till Monday" Dave plans to decrease his eight-time weekend driver promise

"Really, you'll drive me to B City tomorrow?" Gea almost jump

Dave grinned and nodded her head, happily seeing how excited Gea knowing that He'll drive tomorrow while David feel some burden rise in his chest, happy seeing the woman in front of him full of excitement, however, his chest full with so much breath that could not let it out, stuck in his throat, sorry and sad in the same time. He clenches his fist tightly.

"We should go now, I don't want you too tired to drive tomorrow"Gea smile and look at Dave with concern

" Bye, David" Gea said their goodbye holding Dave's hand and dragged him to walk away

David smiles bitterly and waved his hands.

"Edward, I am leaving... I trust Anna, Ava and you to manage this ball and event as planned." The ball is almost done, the rest of the agenda will end on Sunday morning. David would not attend the rest of the event schedule and Edward will be his representative for the rest of the program.

As soon as they arrive in B City, Dave and Gea do the groceries shopping, Dave plans to taste some of Gea home country food that's she's been bragging about.

Save by the cap and the mask to walk around freely Dave and Gea choose the ingredients carefully before walking home.

Many kinds of food served at the table, look very amazing and delicious.

"Are you expect me to eat all this?" Dave asked Gea that walks around in her apron.

"of course not, or do you want to finish it all by yourself?" Gea looks at Dave with her mischievous smile that soon faded after Dave look at her.

"No, even I enjoyed eating, this is a food parade that I can't have it all by myself." Dave Reply

"Ding... Ding... Ding"

"Seems your helper to enjoy the parade has arrived," Gea says to Dave after heard the doorbell.

"Honey, where are you... I miss you a lot" Andrea's voice heard right after Mrs Adam open the door.

"I am here mom" Gea walked fastly to the source of the voices.

Both Andrea and Gea hug each other like they haven't seen in years.

"Who... who is this" Andrea stuttering seeing a handsome young man behind Gea. Andrea sigh deeply can't believe that when she's finally able to make David and Gea meet, Gea has someone beside her.

" Oh, are you sure you can't recognize him?" Gea smile and asked jokingly to Andrea

Remember that his face resemblance one of her favourite actor that Gea aware, and actually someone that she knows already Andrea open her arms " Well Dave it's quite a while now after our last meeting"

Going inside Andrea's arms and hug her Dave talks " yes, mom it's been a while"

Look at Gea Face Andrea explained "He is my son's best friend"

"You mean your son is David, the actor and CEO of S management?" Gea asked surprisingly

"Speak of the Devil" Andrea rolls her eyes when David and Deena entered the dining room, however, David and Deena can't hear what Gea just said

"Ha....i" David greeting slowly getting lost in heard as he surprises seeing the surrounding him

"No need for an introduction then, let's eat" Gea hugs and kisses Deena on her cheeks after gesture Andrea, to seat at the head of the table while she sat on Andrea's right, with Dave beside her, David sat on Andrea's left with Deena beside him.

During the dinner, Andrea sigh a lot, seeing the closeness of Dave and Gea even though Gea said Dave is one of her friends. She can't really hide her dissatisfied that Dave meets Gea and seems, really close to each other. David holding Andrea's hand hiding his own feelings of disappointing and the aches in his heart, regret that he keeps rejecting his mother request and delayed the meeting with the lady in front of him, he wasn't sure of his feelings towards this lady during the ball, but right now he kinda question his feelings as the pain keep bursts in his chest as something has been taken away from him

"Hey, Would you like to go to full body treatment tomorrow?" Gea asked Deena after dinner when everybody gathered around and sat in the Television slash family room

" You could bring Jane too, we could have ladies time, right mom?!" Gea look at Andrea and smile cheerfully

"Me too?" Andrea asked back surprisingly

"Sure, everything is on me"

" I'll send Jane, the Twins need someone around them, as their father is unavailable I guess I'll have a rain check for next time" Deena reply

"You should go, they can watch some movies here with me, I'll baby seat them" Dave offers his help

Before Deena could say anything Gea already hugs and kisses Dave on his cheeks "Thanks a lot, you such an angel"

Andrea's let out a long and deep sigh, mistakenly took Andrea's reaction as feeling released Gea really happy of Dave offers

"I guess it makes the two of us, no need to worry sist take your time" David pat Deena back

His heart sank really deep, but as an actor, he could deceive everyone. Well... almost everyone
