Chapter 84: Chapter 84

Leo stroked at the bottom of his nose when the work before him didn't seem to lessen at all, even though he had sat down for hours to finish it, and then he turned his eyes to a clock on his wrist that was ten o 'clock, which would have been a few hours ago when he would have gone home and had dinner with alana, but the job that required him was to stay at the office this late at night.

Leo's mind was interrupted when suddenly the large door in front of him opened to show pedro walking as screwed up as he did, carrying a folder and walking closer to him.

"This is my last assignment and I'm free for the next week, remember you promised not to, so don't push it back after weeks of time" says Pedro made Leo pick up the folder pedro extended while putting it next to his desk with other papers.

"Yes, tomorrow you've begun your leave, but remember a week and no more" Leo said that he could finally realize his friend's wishes, after several weeks of delay because of a few weeks of work that was already building up, even if Leo had the courage to ask pedro, he would love to extend his friend's leave for the next month because he really needs his help.

"Are you sure you're giving me permission, you're not going to quit?" Pedro asked.

"If I delay the next month, how will you agree?" Asked Leo without taking his eyes off the laptop in front of him.

"Of course I would mind, I haven't gone anywhere for a long time and I really want to go there after all these years" says pedro, looking far ahead, making Leo finally look up at him and tuck his chin in his hands, looking up at his best friend.

"Where are you going? "Leo asked out of curiosity, making pedro shrug.

"None of your business, which is clear for the next week I won't take job calls from you okay" says Pedro as he gazed at the clock on his wrist.

"Well, then I'll see you in a week, I have to pack my things to start my holiday soon," says Pedro, a little reluctant to let his friend go,He didn't really leave the company, but somehow Leo felt a burden on his shoulders when his friend wasn't there.

Leo finally turned his eyes back on the flat screen in front of him to be quick to finish if he did not want to sleep in the other room, for alana would surely be sulking if he went more than eleven o 'clock at night, so he went back to try to focus, but a phone call in his pocket put him to rest.

Leo squints his eyes atan unknown number sending him something, causing Leo to instantly check the incoming message the next second Leo's blood is literally seeped from his entire body when he sees what the unknown number is sending.

While elsewhere, Alana kept pacing in her room, occasionally looking ata clock on the nakas that was almost ten thirty at night, but Leo hadn't been home before, and Leo had already asked for permission to work overtime, but alana felt she hadn't been able to sleep well if Leo hadn't been there yet

"What I should call her," Alana murmured, fixing the phone in her hand the whole time, alana was wondering if she should call her Husband or not, fearing that he was interfering with Leo's work, but his hands were also itching to not send a text to Leo and then alana chose to text him at the time.

Alana then looked out the window, out in the rain making her less inclined to sleep alone, sleeping in her husband's arms would surely be more comfortable to think alana would put down her phone and wait for him, before she went to the bathroom to wash her face no matter how many times for holding back, In less than ten minutes Alana spends herself in the bathroom and after returning to Alana's room sees Leo already standing facing the balcony.

"Honey, you're home? "Alana asked alana, occasionally wiping her wet face with a small towel, Alana saw Leo's strapping back behind her,Her husband was looking at the rain out there that did come pouring heavily this evening, but alana quickened her pace as she saw Leo's drenched condition made her instantly grab Leo's shoulder and turn his face cold and pale.

"What's wrong with you, you're not carrying an umbrella but you don't need one," Alana blurted out how he was getting soaked, when from the office to Leo's house wouldn't be possible to get rain on his car.

"Take off your coat and warm yourself quickly or you'll catch a cold"Alana blurted while she tried to take off the clothes Leo was wearing, while Leo was silent about the treatment his wife was looking at him with a worried look, Leo looked at every inch of Alana's face who looked at him with a passionate look of his and then bent his knees trying to take off Leo's shoes.

"Lift your feet" alana says which makes him indulge in every Alana says, with alana taking his shoes off, his socks that Leo wore afterward led him into the corner of the room where his dirty clothes were, Leo still froze at the sight of his wife's movements.

"You're like a child, how can you get wet like this, are you deliberately playing in the rain? "Alana asked Alana again, drying Leo's hair with the towel she had been carrying, but Leo remained silent without answering Alana's words, making alana look him in the face,

"Why, are you sick, have you begun to feel a fever, so quickly you need to take a warm bath" he blurts about to pull Leo into the bathroom but his pace stops when Leo doesn't even move.

"Come on, I don't want to see you get sick later," alana blurted out to draw on Leo, but again Leo didn't flinch.

"Is there a problem? "Alana began to suspect him of his behavior but then Leo stayed silent while watching alana's beady eyes.

"So right, is there a problem at the office, what's the big deal, you need my help? "Alana once again began to worry about Leo's not saying a word

"Don't scare me, your behavior is really making me want to cry" Alana repeated making Leo finally exhale long.

"Do you think I have a right to be angry? "Leo blurted alana out as he frowned incoherently at her Husband's speech.

"What do you mean? "Asked Alana.

"Am I right to be angry when I find out that my own wife has been fiddled behind my back and betraying the love I've been clinging to, destroying all the beliefs I've nurtured," Leo says, leaving Alana's entire body frozen in time with the lightning rushing out, making Alana's heart thumping, hearing the words of her Husband's, if Leo already knows how to respond.
