“I don’t care. I just miss you. Don’t worry, they won’t recognize me. See, I wore the same outfit as you.” He said and we both chuckle.
Kent POV
I know she’s lying. She’s Lucy and she wants me to forget about her that’s why she disguises herself as Greta. I won’t let her pushed me because I want to tell her how much I repent for my sin every single day.
I decided to follow her because I walked back when she shouted at me. I thought she will report to the security guards inside the mall but she didn’t. I keep tailing her and about to approach her again when I saw my brother Gale came closer. I feel a sting in my heart to see her smile like that to my brother. How can he find a girl like her in a short time? Where did he found Greta when he was busy at his restaurant in the states? They looked perfect together. If she was Lucy, maybe we look perfect too but she’s now married at Gale and I am now a married man too.
I took a sigh of dismay and walked outside the mall. I lost, he won. Maybe she’s not Lucy, maybe the real Lucy is somewhere here. I will clarify everything to my wife Eloisa about what she did to Lucy after we went back to the states.
I went inside my car and saw Gregory coming inside. I was surprised to see him here since he’s not the type of person to go out and went to this kind of place. He loves eating at fancy places or eating delivery foods.
“Hey, Gregory?”, I called his name, and he immediately turned his head around and went closer to confirm if I am someone he knew.
” Kent Stone? Is that you?”, he covered his eyes to the rays of the sunlight facing at him. It’s lunchtime already so it’s hot in Manila unlike the cold weather in the states.
I nodded. I slowly pulled down my shades to get a full view of his face. It’s been five years but Gregory still looks the same and dresses the same. Nothing much changed about him. I wonder if I can get any information from him about Lucy since he was the one who knows her as my mistress in the first place. He seemed to care so much for her that time so maybe he made a way to approach her to be her friend.
“Can we talk?”, I said as I stepped out of my car.
He looks surprised but managed to calm after one moment.
He seems reluctant to talk to me. Was he hiding something or he knew something? Those were the questions playing inside my head while talking to my best friend Gregory. I had many questions for him to ask especially when he cut ties his friendship with me and I don’t know why.
” Umm, yeah, sure, why not!”, he replied without staring at me.
“Hop in!”, I said and when he hopped inside the car, I began to start the engine and rolled the steering wheel.
We will go to the place where we first met and became friends.
At the school campus during our high school days.

Gale left after helping Lucy buying groceries. He went back to the restaurant he owned. He also visited the company of his father Alexander which is the Ace Wine Group. He was in the lobby of the building when he saw Eloisa coming downstairs. A devilish smirk drew on his face.
” Wow, what a small world sister-in-law? I didn’t know you’re super close with dad!”, Gale said while clapping his hands.
Eloisa glared at him and rushed towards him.
Gale acted like he’s scared of her and simply waited for her.
“What are you thinking Gale? Of course, he’s my father-in-law! Anyway, can we talk?”, she’s still a brat even years had passed.
Of course, Eloisa Sherlock, the heiress of the Sherlocks company can behave anything she wanted. She’s famous and rich. Even Kent Oliver Stone can’t say no to her dad’s request.
Gale went closer and lean his lips behind her ears.
” Shall we go to our favorite place, mo kitchen, and living room!”, he murmured but Eloisa pushed him away.
“Are you crazy? What if my husband saw us? Come here!”, she said while dragging him with her to the company’s lobby.
She let go of Gale after they reached the lobby.
Gale smirks again and folds his legs from each other and crossed his arms in front of his chest like a boss.
” Tell me what you want to know? Quick because I’m in a rush!”, he told her.
Eloisa pouted her lips again. She glared at him from head to toe.
“So you had a wife and her name was Greta? Where did you get that girl? I can’t believe that you will get married!”, she seems can’t believe it.
Gale slightly narrowed his eyes on her for her funny questions.
