Chapter 136 Rodrigo Is Not Alone.
Leonica drove straight to her company after dropping Ashley off at his school. The moment she arrived on her company’s premises, she took notice of the fleet of securities lined up by the entrance.
Kennedy, who as usual, was waiting by the entrance for her, received her with a bow. “Good Morning, Ms. Romero.”
“Morning Kennedy. What’s all this about?” She gestured towards the four men in black standing guard in front of the entrance. Before he could answer, they parted at the middle and Leonica watched a familiar figure walk towards her, hands tucked in his pocket.
“Arvan,” She smiled, greeting him lightly. “I see you got yourself more trustworthy guards.”
“The last ones were utter disappointments.” He wasn’t joking, seeing as his ex wife had been able to make her way into his house without him knowing. “How are you doing, Leonica?”
“Best shape.” She offered him her best smile, but he did not fail to notice the dark circles underneath her eyes as they turned and headed Inside. “What are you doing here, anyways?”
At her question, Arvan paused the instructions he was giving to his guards and flashed her a look. Quickly, Kennedy appeared by her side and whispered in her ear.
“You have a contract signing with Senator Richardson today.”
Contract signing, of course! How could she have forgotten that today was the day she and Arvan would make their cooperation official.
“Leonica,” Arvan began but she cut him off with a smile while reaching for the elevator’s button.
“Old age.” Her excuse was so weak that it had Arvan even more worried.
