"Alright. There''s no point in feeling embarrassed. Go find Nadia Raven if that''s what you want! It''s not that big of a deal," Mike said. "Eric doesn''t know you are here, does he?"


    "I don''t have the obligation to share my schedule with him." La cut into her steak. "Do you know where Nadia works?"


    "I can find out from the inte. Should Ie with you?" Mike started looking Nadia up on his phone.


    "It''s fine. I will get there myself."Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Fine. Rest well and go find her tomorrow!" Mike studied her face and teased, "You look like a mess after the long flight."


    "I want to get this out of the way soon so I can go home. My parents are going to be disappointed if they find out why I''m here."


    "They won''t exactly be disappointed; more like, worried!" Mike cut a small piece of steak and ced it into his mouth. "Your dad doesn''t like Eric, just like how he disliked me in the past. He would probably be treating me the same way he is treating Eric had I not started dating Chad. He holds a grudge."


    "Uncle Mike, don''t talk about my dad like that."


    "I am just saying that you need to be prepared for a storm if you insist on getting together with Eric."


    La red at him.


    After lunch, La took Mike''s car and drove to the research center where Nadia worked.


    By the time she arrived, it was already four in the afternoon.


    When the receptionist asked if she had an appointment, she confessed that she did not. Sensing that she was not an ordinary visitor, the receptionist decided to call Nadia''s assistant. "Miss, what''s your name?" The receptionist asked.


    "La Tate. La''s heart raced. Though she did not know Nadia, they knew about one another so Nadia would probablye out to meet with her once they mentioned her name.


    As anticipated, Nadia appeared in a smart casual outfit ten minutes after the receptionist mentioned La''s name.


    "Hi! Why are you here, La?" Nadia greeted her with a smile.


    La smiled. "I have something that I need to get done here, and since I heard that you work here, I decided to pay you a visit."


    "Haha! I''m quite surprised that you came to see me. Let me treat you to a meal!" Nadia led La out of the building.


    "I''m not hungry."


    "Coffee, then?"


    "Thank you."


    "There''s a cafe near our research center, and I go there almost every day." Nadia led the way and asked, "Is there something you wish to talk to me about?"


    They were both women and shared a certain understanding. Since Nadia was older, she was also more experienced and sharper.


    "Are you always so straightforward?" La asked jokingly.


    "Yeah. Does it bother you?" Nadia tilted her head to the side and asked.


    La shook her head. "Ms. Raven, I came... specifically to see you, actually. You''ve been working in Bridgedale ever since you


    announced your rtionship while he has been in Aryadelle the entire time. How exactly are you two dating?"


    "Hahaha! Does he know that you are here?" Nadia asked.


    "No. I can''t get an answer from him, so I came to you. I keep getting a feeling that you two aren''t together," La confessed. "Ms. Raven I''m hoping that you won''t lie to me."
