Her words were so unexpected that it stunned Rodrigo long enough for her to walk past. Kennedy followed suit behind her. "Ms. Romeno ""What is it?" "I think there's something you need to see." The assistant said and watched as his employer looked over her shoulder, raising a questioning brow at his statement. At this, he handed the tablet he had been scrolling on, over to her before explaining in briet. "While the meeting was going on, Mr. Richardson and Lee made statements with the press concerning the recent rupees surrounding you." H "They did what? Leonice thought as she collected the tablet and read through the article Kennedy had been monitoring. For a few seconds, her brows knitted together and then they shot up in sarpeise upon realizing that it was just as Kennedy had said, Owen and Arvan had indeed made statements with the press and their separate interviews had gained more view than any of the articles laying allegations against her.
Taking a brief moment in the elevator, she read through each of their individual statements. By the tshe was done, Leonica had bright pink tintson rach side of her cheeks. The manner, at which both men had expressed their admiration and feelings for her in their full speeches, certainly wasn't something she was expecting Arvan, well she could somewhat tell that the relationship between them had the vibe of more than friends. He had been exceptionalle nice to her since day one and being the grown and very mach aware of her surroundings, woman she is, Leonica had instantly suspected that it was love at first sight.

Stupid, she knows, after all, she's not sheroine in scoming of age And believe of or not, she had been fine with that. She had thought of leading him on and gave subtle hists of rejection, praying that Arvan got it. Bat it was clear to her now that, he didn't and if he did, he still went forth to make his feelings known, worldwide met like a week ago, Could love at first sight really Now Arvan aside, Owen Owen was another case that Leonica did not phantom. Heck, they had just m However, it was safe to say their speeches had done more good than harm for her, because the public opinion seems to have taken a turn for the better alter their speeches and the pressure becless Leonica didn't want to be a total dick that would coff as unappreciative and made a mental not to send tears of gratitude to each of them when she had the chance and perhaps set things straight with their feelings. Each of them were wonderful men and had she met either of them before Gabriel then she was sure her story would have been different, but like she told her mother, right now, she wasn't really looking for romance.
After reading sof the articles carrying Owen and Arvan's speeches, Leonica caught herself scrolling smore, mindlessly looking for something... another person's speech that she had expected to see alongside the other two. Gabriel's speech As soon as the thought passed her mind, Leonica switched the screen of Kennedy's tablet shut and handed it back to him, scolding herself for even having such a thought.
What happened to being done with Gabriel? She questioned, sinking into her seat with a loud sigh the moment she returned to her office.
God, Gabriel was really doing more damage to her than good, she thought, wanting nothing more than to be done with the said man this very moment, but realizing that the moment she does that, Ashley would be affected. She groaned in frustration.
"Ms. Romero," "What is it this taround, Kennedy?" "Doctor Bailey also called while you were in the meeting." Her eyes snapped open at his words. "He requested I pass on the message that the procedure for the IVF matching would begin today and would appreciate if you could make it." Ah, she had almost forgotten she had to prepare for something like that. But then again, with everything going on, she really didn't want to have to meet or even see Gabriel. Not even an apology from him could change that. But as much as she wanted that, remembering that Ashley's fate rode on her cooperation, sealed the entire deal "So, can you?" Kennedy asked when her silence dragged on.

Her expression becsour and Gabriel did not fall to notice and he knew it was because of everything that was happening Their bitter p past and complicated present. Even he understood, because over the past few days he had thought over his past actions and realized that if he had been in her shoes, he would have reacted the exact sway.
With the intent to apologize for whatever he could, Gabriel stepped forward. "Leonica.." He began but the rest of his words trailed off by the sound of Doctor Bailey's approaching footsteps.
"Ms. Romero and Mr. Bryce, I'm so glad you could both make it. Please follow me." He said and began leading them in the direction of their examination room. "Everything's been set up, so all you both need to do is just sit back and allow my teams do their job. Rest assures; you're both in good hands." Leonica forced a smile. "I trust you, Doctor."
"Pleased to hear that. Now please," He pointed towards one door and then towards another. "You go in there and Mr. Bryce, you in there,"
Leonica nodded her head. She glanced in Gabriel's direction one last tbefore walking into the room Doctor Bailey had told her to enter. The next few minutes were all about medical test, blood being drawn and several more things down that line.
When the best concluded, she was lead to a room where Gabriel and Doctor Bailey were waiting for her. As she walked in, she glanced in m Gabriel's direction once more and cursed the fact that she couldn't go a fracking second without looking in his direction, while one of the nurses who had handled her testing walked up to the doctor and whispered a few words in his ear, showing him what she believed was the chart of her result "Is everything alright? Gabriel beat her to the punch before she could question "Of course, but it seems like the results would have to be delayed for a while. I apologize," Delayed result? Sounded like bad news, bur Leonica hoped not. "It's alright. Can we take our leave now? "Yes, if you wish to."
