Why Did You Leave?

Qi Cheng somehow finished his tea and watched as Onita continued to play with the baby.He wanted to pat the little baby but was at a loss how.He did not think he had ever interacted with such a small human before.Maybe he should ruffle her hair or rub her behind the ears?The time continued to pass making Onita antsy.She could see that Qi Cheng would not go before having his answers so once Alicia was distracted,she went and sat opposite him on the sofa,ready to answer any questions he asked.She owed him that much.But his question was totally unexpected.

"What is your relationship with Neil Long?"

Onita frowned at that.Out of all the things she expected he would ask this was the least expected one.But she answered truthfully,"He is my lawyer but I have actually come to consider him a good friend?"

"Just good friends?Then why are you baking him brownies because they are his favorite?"Why go to that length for a simple friend?"
