Chapter 31

"Is the plan going well?" a man with black suit and sitting on his leather chair asked while facing the window.

"Yes sir, we have him all tracked down" replied the other man who stood tall.

He smirked and tilt his head to look at his henchman, showing off his glinted eyes with malice.

"Good good, now tell me, what do we have for bait?" he asked now fully facing him.

He takes out a piece of folder and gently places it on the table, his smirk grew wider as he hastily opened it. There, revealed a woman and a man sitting talking and laughing, playing with each other. He laughs and toss the pictures on the table, scattered and each picture shows him who the bait is or are the baits of his plans.

"This is perfect!"

"Yo' Bee!" Victoria called out loud to Levy- as she walks towards her; in which in return she got shot of Levy's middle finger saluting with her chin up high.

"Wow, ha! now you middle finger me too?" an eyebrow raised as well as an amused smirked grew at the blonde's face as she jog nearer to her friend, and her hands tucked in her pocket.

"Well I do love to do it with you but sadly I don't dig you, sorry pig" she snickered, hearing what Victoria just said she made a disgusted and puking face.

"Eww as if and you wish" she countered back.

"And like duh Vic I am not bowing to you nu uh not anymore bi*ch" Levy explained with sass as they both went towards their first class, laughing and having fun.

Shaking her head Victoria chuckled at her frenemy's reaction, as she follows her to their first class. As they both finally made it to their seats, Victoria plopped down to her sit with a loud sigh of relief and looking over to her frenemy namely Levy.

Nodding her head at the woman beside her, Levy knew what that meant and just rolled her eyes.

"Enlighten me oh great Bee one" she started sounding amused.

"Why did you not tell Venus that we were all friends back in the days? And what happened between you and Stephen? Damn I missed a lot" she shook her head trying not to go brain error with the happenings in their lives.

"Uncle Jude told us not to, he even made it up that you and Venus were twins that's been separated" she explained leaving her and Stephen's relationship alone.

"That being said, you live at England and Venus lives here in Japan, Uncle Jude wanted your disorder a secret" she continued not minding the pointed look Victoria was giving her, she knew she was intrigued of her relationship with Stephen.

"Uh huh but that doesn't explain anything with you and Stephen's relationship, we were all inseparable back then, what happened? What went wrong? Why are the boys in another group?" she pushed on, trying to see on where did her friends go south, and how did the boys left her and Levy.

Seeing where this was going, Levy sighed as she took out her book and notes trying to see if she should say it or not, flashbacks went through her mind as her pace of picking things slowed down. She can not help but feel a little tensed, as soon as she felt a pair of eyes were glued on to her she immediately wave the feeling of tense as she heaved a breath out and smiled.

"Well, he pinned me into a tree before" she weakly smiled to Victoria hoping her 'joke' would work but alas it did not, Victoria closed her eyes and sighed, as she opened her eyes a glare was what Levy got in return.

"Tell me what happened" she demanded facing straight at the board with her hands in front of her face, a look of seriousness and business is plastered on her.

Levy waved her hand trying to dismiss the topic, while having a weird expression on her face. Nervously laughing and trying to dismiss the topic she did not want the brunette to ever know or else she would do something about it, 'because the last time she did Stephen and I almost wouldn't look at each other for two months' she thought and sweat dropped.

"Seriously Vic it's fine really it's fine, it was in the past, we got into an argument and he pinned me into the wall is all" she waved off, but the stubborn brunette was having none of it though she will get to the bottom of this.

"Hmm" she hummed not believing that it was fine, how can it be fine when one of her ships is going south? At this point she needs to take drastic measures, she is not that kind of person to just stand by and watch her ship fall out nuh uh. definitely not her.

As the day went on Victoria's brain has been working, but not about her academics but about her ship, she has been sneaking glances at the pair when they cross paths with the boys and of course she's been sending Stephen some dirty looks ahem not that dirty dirty looks.

When lunch was finally approaching she quickly slipped through the shadows and went to Lumic's room or office, with a loud bang Lumic jolted up from his seat and immediately snapped his head towards the intruder.

"What in hell V?" he grumbled at the blonde who was in her thinking look, and seeing that face made Lumic just shake his head, he knew at this point that who ever was her target shall prepare for her 'preparations' or such 'Ayayay I feel sorry for the guy' he thought.

"Tell me L, what happened to Levy and Stephen?" she asked as she plopped down further at her seat facing Lumic, the said man then made an 'o' face as he now knows who she was thinking of or target, he shook his head leaned forward at his desk.

"Well, let's just say that those two got into a really bad argument after you 'left' and made their relationship status under the covers" he wiggled his brows and smirked knowing that the blonde was now intrigue of what he said she leaned in and place her elbows at her knees.

"I'm listening" she said as she narrowed her eyes at the man in front, with an evil smirk resting at her face.

"Well, Stephen did one point confess to her and of course she confessed back, but who knows maybe they just confessed and never put their relationship into work" he finished as he leaned back to his swivel chair, hearing his report she frowned and looked at the man with a displeased look.

"Hmm I see, but I do remember her saying something about someone having some balls to finally ask her out while glancing back to Stephen, that was when you and Venus first met" Victoria sat back as well as she narrowed her eyes more, hearing her statement Lumic faced her with a shocked face his mouth forming an 'o'.

"How?" he asked bewildered that she knows.

"What? I look sometimes you know, but not every time it's just weird, it's invasion of privacy pfft" she dismissed waving her hand, making Lumic curious of how multi-personality disorder works

"But anyways" she continued.

"If their relationship doesn't go up then I'm taking in some actions, damn Stephen and his stupidity" she mumbled, while Lumic just chuckled at his friend, dismissing the thought of her knowing some parts.

"You know I might say the same way towards you and my idiotic brother" Lumic nodded his head at the window where one could see a night sky trying to see and hear what was going on inside, tilting her head to the side Victoria smirked at what he was doing.

"Damn you really need to teach him how to be sneaky" she stated as she got up from her seat with a smirk on her face and opened the door but as she was about to head out she glanced back at the man.

"Hey night sky, you really need to hangout more with your girl" she ended with a shake of the head and closed the door.

Taking in her words for a moment, Lumic finally comprehend what Victoria was talking about, so he stood up and opened his door then there she was; Lisa Heart. His girlfriend whom left him for how many years just for her and her companies dreams, God knows what she's been really doing. With a sigh he stepped out of his comfort closing the door and went to the girl.

'But I wanted to spend more time with you though' his subconscious stated, making him halt and think of what it just said, 'What am I thinking' mentally slapping himself he continued on walking towards her and stopped right in front of her.

"Hey Lis" he started looking at the side, flabbergasted Lisa blushed madly as she tried to stay poised and smiled at the man before her.

"Lumic" she whispered his name as she smiled brightly at the man before her.

Shaking her head from the scene before her Victoria slowly went her way out at the back and to scare the other Neel who was spying on them, she silently made her way to the back trying not to make any noise. Successfully on doing so, she crept up at him and trying to be sneaky.

"Man what are they talking about? Damn it, if only I could hear them ugh! Stupid tinted window and soundproof! I can't see a thing" he grumbled out loud still trying to see and hear the people that was inside, sadly for him it was actually empty.

"Who are we trying to spy on" she whispered to him, as she too tried to see past the tinted window.

"My brother and Victoria, they have been there for quite a while now" he replied nonchalantly not at all troubled that someone talked to him.

"Oh really? I thought they left already?" she tilted her head to the side backing away from him, hearing what the unknown person said Lumic stopped what he was doing yet didn't turn around to see who he was talking to.

"Ah!" slamming his right hand unto his left palm, he made a look that one could tell he's been doing idiotic things.

"Thanks person-" he said as he finally turned around, there he finally noticed that the person who he was talking to was the said person who he was trying to see through and hear through the window, all in all it was the person he was stalking.

"Victoria" he stuttered, gulped, and sweat trying not to look directly at her eyes, averting his gaze he landed it unto his watch and dashed.

"SORRY VIC BUT I FORGOT I WAS MEETING JOSH AND RAN BYE BYE" he shouted dashing out of the scene and directly went out of the school gates, snickering Victoria cracked a genuine smile unto her face and went the opposite way.

"Damn night sky, way to go leaving a girl hanging" she mattered as she was snickering on her way to the cafeteria.

*** Meanwhile ***

"Are you sure that's her?" the person asked as he watched a brunette woman walking in the distance, he watched how she walked and how she snickered at her friend whom they saw dashing out of the place.

"Positive sir" the man in question agreed and watched the woman walk in.

"Wasn't that our dear little friend who just bolted out?" he asked with an evil glint on his eyes trying to see the back of the dashing man.

"Soon my dear friend, I will have my revenge" he smirked as he rolls the car's window up and there they drove off as if nothing ever happened.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Sensing that someone was looking at her, she turned her head back and their she saw, a black car with a man watching her then turned his head out the gate.

She knew that the only person that went out was him, furrowing his eyebrows 'Thank God, Venus err- me has a good eye sight' she praised herself as she studied the car's plate number, smirking she finally had it in her head.

'Well, another interesting thing will soon commence' she thought with an evil glare, with that in mind she went inside with a pumping blood ready for action.
