Chapter 178

• A lone tear dropped down his cheek as he thought about his parents. Lately, he had been having difficulties picturing what they looked like. He had to go home already. He would spend the entire night looking at their pictures, while eating the cake that Miss Bianca had gifted him. Just when he kick started the car and was about driving off, he noticed a familiar figure walking out of the office building, towards the parking lot. She seemed unstable as she walked and fell to the ground eventually. Without thinking, he rushed out of his car and made his way to where she laid on the cold ground. That was when he noticed she had been crying, and he didn't need a soothsayer to tell him what had just transpired between she, Manuel, and Bianca. What was she doing at Manuel's office so late in the night? Why couldn't she just bring herself to let the man go? Immediately that thought crossed his mind, his subconscious quickly reminded him that he was yet to let his own feelings for her go. Fair enough.
• "Miss Francesca." He muttered, before picking her body off the ground. She was too distraught to even say a word, and let him take her to his car. When he finally got into the driver's seat, he looked back at her and asked. "The Ferrari residence?" And she simply shook her head 'no'. "Where would you like me to take you ma'am?" He asked, and she shot him a bitter smile.
• "Is that a cake on the seat?" She asked, and he slowly nodded in response.
