Angelica's POV

When I ended the call with Madison, I finally collected myself.

"What have I gotten myself into?" I asked myself, then a memory brushed up in my mind. The CEO of Gidae Mall was beaten into a pulp by another CEO, I kept thinking again, and if the CEO remembered my face. Then my feet stepped onto something sharp, I flinched at it and peeked. A shard of glass is on my foot and plucked it out, I dialed the cleaning services and left it to them. People are giving me side glances as they pass by my window. I closed the curtains and when they arrived, the only thing they did was scratch their heads before continuing to clean it. I went into my room and my phone rang, when I opened it, Mr. Lee sent a file and it's not what I want to see right now.

"Ma'am, it's gonna cost a fortune." the guy knocks and I just nod.

"I know, let me get me—" I saw my card and my phone when I opened my bag and I shrugged it off to give the card to him.

"It's paid," he says.

"Paid by whom?" I asked him.

"It's..." he gets his list and came back, "by Mr. Young and Mr. Hugh."

"Who's Hugh?"

"Alexander Hugh," I took the list from him and the guy gave me some kind of note, it said 'We are sorry, I shouldn't have brought Nathan there if I knew that there's another pet in your house.' Why does it sound like it's my fault?

"We're gonna go after you sign it," he interrupts and I just follow. Later on, I picked up the other phone and looked at what was inside it. Nothing was deleted, lots of texts from my other phone, and a voice record was left on my phone. I pressed play and Jonathan's voice speaks from it.

"Belated Happy Birthday, " his voice filled with delight and I just put it away, now that I remember his voice all of a sudden, I have to find a suitor... I looked around my house, and it was still an utter mess in the kitchen. I cleaned it for a bit and ordered a lot. I'm thankful that there's a nearby junk shop for me to sell it all to them and the deliveries came early. It's all arranged and I see that it's still not a proper place to meet. I'll probably let someone take care of him while I'm out, I'm gonna call the couple in front of my house before leaving.

"Maybe not here...'' Once I finish this task, I can go back to being a chef and I won't mind all the matters that will just make me miserable more. I searched up the web for any suitable women that match his taste and I ended up with many, a woman in her mid-30s and is an only child, she also has a big company in EuroTowers in Dubai... I'll try to email her, and I emailed a bunch of women and waited for their reply.

"Hey neighbor?" a foreign voice knocked on the door and I didn't answer it, "someone left a package for you, it's been sitting for a while now." Who would send a package to me?

"Okay, I'll pick it up later. Thank you!" I replied as I scroll down the web I ended up with one girl nearby. Anita Monroe, age 32 and an only child in Monroe Estates in California and Spain. No recent pictures of her, but I'll email her. I opened Angelique's laptop and sent her a lot of emails. The other emails are from my phone and I sat for a while, why isn't she coming back? I dialed her number and she answered.

"Hello?"

"I'll have to meet someone for today, can you check them first until... 9?

Angelique's POV

The car lost fuel and one of my tires flattened far away from the gas station and I had to call someone to get my car fixed. I couldn't wait any longer, so I left and as we walked along somewhere, they kept growling at each other and people were looking at me like I kidnapped them, I sat on the bench and sighed.

"You guys, if you can understand me, please stop. You guys started that mess, and I'm involved with the chaos you guys made. Now, if we don't stop that and do what she told us, we'll probably live on the streets. I'm too lazy to buy a house," I said, Nathan stopped and looked at me, he howled and the other just lay down quietly.

"Miss, are they your pet? They're quite exquisite." A guy with a roughed-up face approached and Nathan immediately snarls at him.

"It's my sister's, I don't know how she's able to live with them," I explained, his eyes glued to Nathan and he tilts his head as if he knows him.

"Oh, okay."

"I have to go now, it's great talking with you... Even though your face is really in a bad state now, " I said and he just nodded, touching his jaw and wincing as he tried to move it slowly. I turned my back when...

"What's your name?" he asked, I stopped, but I didn't answer.

"It's fun talking to you," was the only thing I said before leaving and when I arrived at the mall, I stopped and I tried to catch my breath. This is backbreaking, I should've ridden a bus or called a taxi. Then, a slender, elegant woman strides beside me and enters the mall.

"Excuse me, we don't bring such... Exquisite animals like that inside here, ma'am, " a guard blocks me and I can't argue, I don't have the spirit to argue with him. Too tired, guess there's no other option. I dialed Nicholas' number and he answered it quickly.

"What do you want?" he asks.

"I want you to come here, right now."

"No, " he said sternly.

"Come on, I have your brother's pet and this weird guy too. They caused havoc in Angelica's house, and we're probably temporarily homeless." I said, he didn't answer and he hung up. How rude, a car suddenly swiveled behind me and I couldn't move from the shock.

"What are you waiting for?" Nicholas' voice already annoyed me, but I just went inside the car.

"She's calling me," I mumbled, I looked at Nathan and gave him a mean look. He whines as the other blows raspberries, he doesn't care what happens next. It's because his owner probably disowned him, so I sat back and answered, "Hello?"

"I'll have to meet someone for today, can you check them first until... 9?" she asks all of a sudden.

"Uh, yeah, sure. Can I go home now?"

"Sure, " she said, not knowing that it was sarcastic.

"Really?"

"No, " she said harshly.

"Yeah, I thought so..." the both of us said our goodbyes and he hit the brake pedal. I looked outside the window and saw a mansion standing behind a forest.

"Stay here, I'll get these two inside the house." I just nod and a woman comes knocking on the window, she signs for the window to roll it down and I didn't. She raises her eyebrow at me and she plucks a key out of her pocket and the door swings open.

"Why won't you open it?" she asks.

"Because you're a stranger, there's a high probability you might carnap this," I explained.

"... Fair point, " she says, "don't worry, I'm his sister, Madeleine."

"So, I assume that you saw Nicholas bring two wolves there."

"And, he told me to take this car over with you somewhere far away. Now, we go." She closes the door and opens the front door of the car before stepping inside, she hits the pedal, leaving him.

"Where are we going exactly?" I asked, she looked at the mirror.

"Somewhere far from this home, say, where's Nicholas' pet?"

"Right, I left his pet at Angelica's house."

"Wait, you know Angelica?" her tone surprised.

"Yeah, I'm her sister. Why? Do you know each other?"

"Yes, but not in a casual manner. More of an occasional sense."

"Okay..." silence filled inside the car and later on, she stopped the car and found herself at Angelica's house.

"I know that look, don't give me that. The history of this car's location says that it was here before."

"No, I know that. The thing is, why here?"

"Uh... Because you said you left his pet here?" she turns to look at me, "are you still on the same page?" It took me a second before answering.

"Of course, I was just surprised." I opened the door and went outside, "I apologize in advance if you find this house messy." I noticed that the door is new and it has a password

"Why? Did someone break inside?"

"No, she changed the door. Wait, " I reached for my phone in my pocket and dialed Angelica's number.

"What?" her voice frustrated.

"What's the passcode?"

"Mom's Birthday, " she says. I hung up and pressed 101272 and the door opened slightly, I closed my eyes and I invited Nicholas' sister to come in.

"It's not messy, it's squeaky clean." I opened my eyes and saw that there are no scratches on the floor and no broken vases, a new coach, a new frame, and almost everything is new here. The couple woke up from the sound of the door opening and Mrs. Potts said their goodbye to her husband. Though Madeleine sees them as if she knew them, something's off.

"I guess someone cleaned it up, " I said and David came barking at us.

"Well, there he is. A noisy guy with a bunch of nonsense talk." She looked at him and he continued barking, "I know that already, both of them are inside the house, and dad is probably giving them a lecture right now. Wait, you're there. Don't ask me that, " she says.

"Who are you even talking to?" She looks at me with her finger on her ear.

"Sorry, Nicholas is calling. Your pet's here, I'll just bring him in the kitchen for a bit." I just nodded and went to change in my room, even though it's supposed to be a guest room and I should have my own house...

"What's this?" I looked at my laptop and saw that a lot of emails are sent to a girl named Anita Monroe, I looked at it and saw that she's finding a wife..?! I dialed Angelica's number again and it went straight through the voicemail, oh no, it's too early.
