After their brief discussion at the Cafe, Anastacia convinced Eliz to meet up with Ross at their mansion for a private conversation, Eliz thought to himself that it would also be the perfect opportunity to return Belerick's handkerchief.
They were both in awe at the sight of the infamous Summer's Mansion. "I mean, i've seen every articles, videos and whatnot about this mansion, but holy shit it's prettier in person." Anastacia said as they pass another guard post, in Eliz's count this was the third. "And they're not kidding, this is a palace for the royals." Eliz said as the barrier in front of them was lifted letting them pass through.
Not long they were on the mansion grounds, field with bustling people. "So much for a private conversation, huh." Eliz said. "Are you kidding me? Eliz? This is an amazing, insanely huge deal! The Summers want you! Again! Remember you declined their Intership program? back in college? I seriously thought you were insane. But here, here 's another chance to work for them!" Anastacia said. "Geez, okay, calm down."

"Master Ross, your visitor has arrived." the butler said as he appeared behind Ross. "Thank you Victor." Ross said, facing them. "Welcome to the Summer's Mansion. It's a pleasure to have you." Ross said flashing his prettiest smile, Eliz heard the faintest squeal from Anastacia, making him roll his eyes. "Thank you, I heard everything from Anastacia, I thought this was private thing?" Eliz asked, his eyes wandering around the garden place, searching for Belerick. "Yes, it is." Ross said. "Well...Sorry to break it to you but, there are like 500 people in here." Eliz said. "Well, all of them are employees of Summer Co." Ross said, before he can say anything Belerick appeared with Aurelion. "Eliz! Hey!" Belerick approached them with a dainty smile, the emerald eyed gentleman not too far behind him. "Can you guys give us a second?" Belerick asked his eyes wandered upward to meet his big brother. "What for? We have a conversation to make." Ross tried to fight the smaller Summers. "Look, I saw him first, and if you would really like to hire him, let me convince him, right?" Belerick said now looking at Eliz smiling. "Fine." Ross sighed as a sign of defeat. "Well, maybe it's time to call grandma and update her about my stay here." Aurelion said as he gently bow and made his way to find a quiet place. Anastacia quickly follow Ross as he makes his way to the bar, where multiple people greeted and bowed to him.
----------
"I'm so sorry about all this." Belerick gestured to the whole party. "Very subtle." Eliz said jokingly making Belerick laugh. "I know, i know, he doesn't know the term easy, subtle or simple." Belerick said as they walk by the side of a beautiful man made pond. "Very pretty." Eliz said, unconsciously saying it while looking at Belerick. "The pond?" Belerick innocently asked. "Ye-Yeah! The pond, very pretty, looks like a real onw, not like this one's not real or anything." Eliz panicking-ly said. Belerick laughed as he crouched near the water. "You're adorable." Belerick picked up at turtle and showed it to Eliz. "Eliz, this is Pantherlily, Pantherlily this is Eliz, our new App manager." Belerick said. "Wow, you name him after Pantherlily?" Eliz asked. "Yeah, And that's your take away here? Not the App Manager?" Belerick said. "Well, that too, I don't know, I mean-" Before he can finish his thought, Romeo shouted at them from a distance.
"Hey dude! You finally made it!" Romeo said catching up to them, behind him is a slender man on a light blue jacket, his hair is messy curled. Eliz raised his eyebrows on Romeo. "How are you here? And who is he?" Eliz asked. "Of course I heard the news first! Remember? Me and El were classmates before? Oh, and this is Blake." Romeo said introducing the man. "I told him we would hire you as our app manager and he said yes, as long as your attention wouldn't get sliced up unevenly between this and your personal business." Belerick explained. "Wait, you mean it's all me here?" Eliz asked eyes widening. "Yeah. men, c'mon let's admit it you're both the brain and brawn of our projects, i'm just the beauty." Romeo jokingly said making Blake and Belerick laugh. "I can't believe you are best friends, not with this ones humor and craziness." Blake said as hesaid hello to Pantherlily.
"You have me? Well, we'd be on different departments but, hey, i'll be your familiar face." Belerick offered, making Eliz blush. "Well, if you put it that way." Eliz said as he see Anastacia walking in a distance clearly upset at something. "what's wrong?" Eliz asked softly as he makes his way to her. "Excuse me."
----------
"What happened? What's wrong?" Eliz asked as he reached Anastacia, her eyes red from crying. "Nothing, let's just get out of here." Anastacia said making her way to their car. "What happened?" Belerick asked. "I, don't know." Eliz answered. "So, Elizander, what's it gonna be, I hope my little brother here convinced you enough." Ross said as he appeared with a glass of wine in his hands. "I, uh, I'll think about it, I'll message you my answer as soon as I make it." Eliz said. "Sure, here." Ross said confidently handing Eliz his business card.
----------
Silence enveloped the car. Eliz doesn't know what happened and doesn't know what to do. "Do you wanna talk about it?" Eliz asked, breaking the silence, talking for the first time after almost an hour of driving, placing his hand gently on Anastacia's lap. "It's nothing." Anastacia softly answered. "It's not nothing! You are clearly upset, out of your element! Tell me!" Eliz said. "Ross. He, he refused me. I thought we had a good thing at the expo, but he just brushed me off like I was literally nothing." Anastacia, tears swelling up at the corner of her eyes. "Fuck that guy. Do you want me to reject his offers?" Eliz said. "No! Are you kidding me? This is a big thing for you, for Romeo, oh yeah, Romeo's there with his friend Blake." Anastacia said. "Yeah, i saw him." Eliz answered. "I dont want you to put anything on hold because of me, again, like before, here comes an opportunity for you and you always fend it off just because you are thinking of somebody else. This is why we didn't work" Anastacia bitterly said. "Hey now." Eliz said, pain strained in his voice. "I'm sorry. I know, I'm sorry. But it's the truth, I want everything and you know that, right? I wanna become someone, someone people would look up to, and you know me, i'm not that person who gives up easily." Anastacia said as they pull up at the driveway of her apartment. They both went out, and Eliz walked her to her front door. "Do you wanna have some beer? I still have some of your favorites inside." Anastacia flirty-ly said. "i, uh, I don't know if that's okay." Eliz said, clearly getting the hint Anastacia's dropping. "Come on, Eliz, just this time, no strings attached, i'm just really upset and frustrated right now." Anastacia said grabbing Eliz neck and guiding her mouth towards Eliz's as they bust through inside her room, shutting it close behind them.
----------
He did it. Again. He fell for it again. Hooking up with Anastacia even though they've broke up. Eliz lookd at Anastacia besides him, her warmth, her bare face, no make up on, he still think Anastacia's as pretty with or with out any make up on. He wanted her back, he does, but..
[Hey! This is Belerick, got your number from Romeo, sorry for texting you so late, but, would you like to meet up tomorrow? I wanna know your answer regarding our offer, and, to hang out i guess. Are you free?]
"If this guy, right here sleeping besides probably the hottest girl a guys could wish for, was me a month ago, I'd be so damn sure I'd want to get back together with Anastacia, but, now, now that I know Belerick and I are... I'm just... just confused." Eliz whispered to himself as he ponder what he'll do next.
