When Melissa heard a long pause from the other end of the phone call, she suddenly realized she was
being too pushy.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to sound overly eager.”
“Oh, it’s fine,” Yandel quickly replied, “You can find me on WhatsApp using this phone number.”
“Really?” Melissa leaped in thrill. So it’s not just me! He likes me too!
“Yeah. I’ll be waiting.”
Yandel suddenly got goosebumps, but it was not like he had a choice. He was commissioned to do
this, so he could only continue the awkward conversation.
He could not help but wonder how two siblings could be so different.
Meanwhile, Melissa was so engrossed in her happiness that she had no idea what Yandel was
thinking

read her message immediately, she felt all fuzzy within.
“I’m sure he likes me. I will date him once he professes his love to me. Wait, should I play hard to-get?”
Melissa let her thoughts run wild. She did not sense her mother walking into her room.
“Melissa, who are you talking about? Is it Yandel Moss of Dream Corporation?” Yvonne heard
everything she said.
Melissa jumped the moment she heard someone’s voice. “Mom! What are you doing here?”
“Answer me.”
“Yes.” she said softly. “Mom, I know what I felt. I’m sure he has feelings for me too.”
Yvonne was way more experienced and careful than Melissa.
“Tell me what happened.”
Melissa told her everything from the start. A smile gradually curved on Yvonne’s lips as she listened to
her daughter, but she was not aware that Melissa was recounting the whole encounter through rose-
tinted glasses.
There were elements of exaggeration, and Melissa’s own feelings clouded her judgment.
“It seems like he really likes you.”
“I know right, Mom. I take after you, so there is no way he won’t fall for me,” she said confidently. “But I
feel like Dad doesn’t like him.”
Yvonne laughed. “It will be great if you can marry him. Then, you will have both Dexmed
Pharmaceutical and Dream. You will get the best of both worlds. I can’t wait for that to happen. Don’t
worry. I will persuade your dad.”
Melissa nodded in all seriousness.
Yvonne stroked her daughter’s cheeks fondly. She was genuinely happy for her.
Over the past twenty years, she had been doing everything she could to drive a wedge between Yara
and Jennie, but she did not manage to completely sway Yara to her side. Although Yara respected her,
she was still not Yvonne’s own child, so they were not very close.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYvonne figured that she should place her bets on Melissa instead.
So, it was a night of celebration for the mother and daughter.
A few days elapsed in normalcy. One evening, Ross was sending Natalie home after work when he
saw from the rearview mirror that a motorbike was tailing them.
“I think someone is following us,” he said.
Natalie looked sideways as if she was thinking about something.
“More like someone has been following us,” she corrected. “I think it started the day before yesterday.”
Ross became worried. “Do you think Yandel and I should look into it?”
“It’s okay. I don’t think the person behind them is anyone significant judging from how bad of a work
they’re doing,” Natalie said with a laugh. “In fact, I think I know who sent them.”
Ross felt relieved when he saw that Natalie was confident of her judgment. She had always been wise
and sensible.
The sky was getting dark. The light from the lamp posts illuminated Natalie’s face. She looked out the
window and her face hardened.
I reckoned only Yara could do this. No. I’m sure that it’s her.
