It was already well past noon, Belerick and Aurelion are still talking in a bench in front of the garden Agatha has been taking care of for more than 30 years now, it is filled with different flowers that are always in full bloom, it is well taken care of by Agatha and her own team of gardeners as if she was tending to a child, Agatha was by the window of the third floor of the Summers mansion, still observing and loving the scenery she's been looking at for hours now, Belerick, like Cassidus was not happy with the barrage of men and women sent by her to try to lock either one of them, or even both of them, if she got lucky and be married before she passes. So far, Belercik had two past romances when he was still younger, both ended after a year of dating, he was 19 when he told her that he would stop looking for romance and start focusing on the company and his flourishing relationship with his father, and for that, was the reason she started looking for guys that maybe compatible with him harder. So far, she introduced at least 15 boys, these past years, Belerick did not like any of them. He said he believed in fate, in destiny and that he would find him in due time, but now looking at his favorite grandson laughing and having fun with Aurelion, looks like she found a great boy for him and stood proud and happy with what she did.
"Your grandma has been watching us since we sat here." Aurelion said while trying his best to ignore the matriarch watching them through the window. "Yeah, I noticed too, I'm sorry." Belerick apologized. Aurelion just chuckled. "I was actually surprised when i found out our grandmas were friends." Aurelion said. "Yeah, me too, what a coincidence. After all these years, I never thought i'll meet you again." Belerick said with a faint of redness on his cheeks. "I guess we we're really supposed to be in each other's life." Aurelion said, gently placing his hands on Belerick's. "Yeah, I guess so." Belerick said.

Tuck woke Eliz by licking his cheeks relentlessly, it's either he's hungry or it's time for his usual walk outside. "Hey, buddy. Yeah, yeah, you can stop licking me now, i'm awake." Eliz said as he sat on his bed, gently patting Tuck's head. Tuck barked two times as his tail wags before running outside of Eliz's room. Eliz, almost dropped his phone when he saw Anastacia's messages. [Hey, would you like to meet? We need to talk.] Another message read; [Call me, let's meet somewhere.] Eliz, channeling The Flash, his favorite superhero, quickly got up, showered and called Anastacia to arrange their meet up.
"Dude! I'm telling you, this is not what you think it is." Romeo's voice can be hear through the phone as Eliz sits inside his uber ride en-route to a Cafe where Anastacia agreed to meet him. "Oh, shut up man, you saw the sparks last night after we got reunited right? This is totally a I want you back conversation." Eliz firmly said, still trying to hold his voice down. "Whatever, dude, just don't come trying to drag me for drinking when you get disappointed. Oh, okay, Blake's here, gotta go!" Romeo said as he dropped the call. "This is totally a we are getting back together meet up, right?" Eliz softly said to himself. "Nah, I don't think so." his uber driver sarcastically said making Eliz pout. "Two stars, This ride's a definitely two stars." Eliz said
Eliz saw Anastacia through the window, she was dressed phenomenally, her hair glowing, her make up's well put up, making his heart thump a little faster. He has never felt this way towards someone else before, just with Anastacia, he was about to open the glass door when he remembered something, making him stop by the door. No, that's not true, not anymore, Eliz remembered the thumping of his heart last night, with Belerick Summers. He unconsciously reached to the back pocket of his jeans, touching the handkerchief Belerick gave him. "Are you gonna go in or what?" Anastacia said meeting him by the cafe's entrance. This caught him off guard. "Yeah, yeah, i'm sorry, let's go."
"So..." Eliz said, trying to break the awkward silence. "So, yeah. Hi. Again." Anastacia said, tucking some lose hair to the back of her ear. "Your nervous." Eliz said. "What?". "You do that when your nervous, as much as you want to tell the world you're a badass bitch who's not afraid of things, you still get nervous from time to time. We dated, quite seriously too, remember? So tell me, what's wrong?" Eliz said. Anastacia sighed, "I wanna ask you something." Anastacia started, This made Eliz swallowed so hard Anastacia noticed it and made her smile. But before she can actually say anything. "Yes, let's get back together." Eliz said, surprising Anastacia, making her eyes go wide. "What? What's wrong?" Eliz asked, now he's tapping his foot so hard to the ground. "I, i'm sorry, i don't want to get back together, im here to ask you a favor." Eliz's falls flat. "I'm sorry, were you expecting to get back together? I'm sorry." Anastacia apologized reaching for Eliz's hands to rub them slowly. "Yeah, I, uh, this is embarrassing." Eliz said faking a laugh. "So what's it about? the thing?" Eliz continued trying to divert the attention away from his false hope. "Oh, um, it's about the expo." Anastacia started. "Remember Ross and Belerick Summers?" Anastacia asked. "Yeah? you were grinding at him all night. And, well, me and Belerick had a few conversations of our own." Eliz answered. "What about it?". "Well, turns out, Belerick told his older brother about your software development talent, and how he's impressed by your past work and your attitude." Anastacia said. "And?" Eliz softly asked.
"They want to offer you a job. Ross insisted to talk to you today about a possible job offer." Anastacia said, her eyes shimmering.

Belerick and Aurelion was on their way back inside the mansion when they noticed several servants were rushing off to the garden. "What's happening?" Belerick asked one of them. "Sir Ross, is expecting a visitor." He quickly said, bowed and resumed at his task. "I didn't now we were expecting anymore visitors." Belerick said. "Maybe work related?" Aurelion said placing his hands gently on Belericks hips, "Maybe we should stay out of their way, let them do their thing, and us, well, let's find somewhere else quiet, somewhere we can talk, i'm dying to catch up with you." Aurelion said grinning.

"What is this about Ross?" Rafael said as he enter the study room, Ross, shifting and reading through multiple papers. "A guest, a prospect, someone that can help us innovate our business even further." Ross confidently said. "What are you talking about? We never discussed about this." Rafael said with his low almost growling voice. "Yeah, well, it's happening." Ross said not glancing towards his father. "This better be good, Ross." Rafael said as if demanding an answer. "Would it help if i say Belerick approves of this one?" Ross said finally looking at his father. "What?". "Elizander Landon, 25, a prodigal developer of various softwares, applications and stuff. He just closed a huge deal with MouglinPH." Ross said handing a bunch of papers to his father. "Is he the one that declined and internship with us,the one Cassidus said would be a brilliant employee?" Rafael asked. "That's him. He said before, he had no interest with working with us, and it looked like that was the truth, he barely remembers or not remember at all that we once offered him an internship program. The balls of this one." Ross said giving a humorless laugh. Rafael sighed. "I promised you grandmother and myself that I would let you step up and show me the company's in good hands with you three on it, so you better not disappoint me." Rafael said. "Have I ever?" Ross simply answered.
