“Chief, B-ir… Good evening!” Bowman greeted them too. He seemed a bit nervous.


    ir eximed in her mind, ‘Oh my goodness! Did they all just see


    Wesley kissing me so passionately?’


    Her face was as red as a tomato now. That was so embarrassing. She shed an awkward smile,


    quickly nodded to them and broke into a quick run. She went into the elevator straight away without


    giving them a second nce.


    Back inside the apartment, she changed into her slippers at the entryway. Cecelia was sitting on the


    sofa in the living room, watching


    TV but her head was down. She looked sleepy. The noise at the doorway jarred her awake. She


    opened her eyes wide and Looked towards the door.

    “ir, you’re back? Where’s Wesley? Did hee with you? Did he give you a ride?” Cecelia asked,


    looking around.


    “He… He met a few colleagues downstairs. They were talking, and I was a bit tired so I came up,” ir


    replied without raising her head. She put the shoes on the shoe rack and slowly walked into the Living


    room.


    “Colleagues? They are here to find him at this Late hour? Maybe there’s something urgent,” Cecelia


    guessed.


    ir nodded, pressing her lips tightly. She didn’t want Wesley’s mother to notice her red and rapidly


    swelling lips due to the passionate kiss. She turned her back towards Cecelia and told her quickly,


    “Aunt, I’m going to take a shower now.”


    “Uh huh. Go on. I’ll wait for Wesley here.”

    Soon after ir went into her bedroom, Wesley opened the door and entered the apartment with the


    shopping bags in his hands.


    He scanned the living room, only to find his mother there.


    Ceceliaid the shopping bags on the table and began to sort the things out, while asking Wesley a


    re of questions.


    “ir said you met some colleagues downstairs. Do you have anything urgent to do?”


    “No. Nothing urgent. Arade-in-arms hase to Alorith and they asked me to join the get-


    together.”


    “Oh, then off you go. Don’t stay up toote.”


    Wesley stole a nce at ir’s closed bedroom door and nodded, “Okay,


    Mom. I should get going.”


    “Bye. Don’t forget toe pick us up tomorrow,” Cecelia reminded him, craning her neck to look at the


    leaving man.


    “Got it.”


    After Wesley had left, Cecelia was left alone and continued putting the groceries in order.


    Inside the bathroom, ir had been holding her breath, carefully listening to the noise outside. She


    didn’t know why she was so scared of facing Wesley.


    Maybe because she felt a little guilty. After all, Cecelia believed that she was Niles* girlfriend, but she


    and Wesley had just kissed each other downstairs.


    Later that night, much to ir’s surprise, Cecelia insisted on sharing a room with her. She really was


    childish.
