The tricks

Cynthia slapped Victor near the parking and her hand marks on his cheeks show how much strength has she used. This was the scene Valerie stumbled upon while going out of the building. 

"Brother, are you okay?" She asked looking at his dazed expression.

"I. I am fine." He replied finally retracting her gaze from the direction where Cynthia ran.

"What just happened between you two?" She asked looking at his cheek.

"It's just a small misunderstanding. Where are you going?" He asked trying to change the topic.

She wanted to ask more but relented thinking it will hurt his pride if she asks continuously about the slap. So she smiled.

"Didn't I tell you I will start running from today? I have to practice a few tricks before going to the forest camp" she replied with a mischievous smile.

"Valerie you know you can't let people know." He said sternly. It has become difficult for him to handle both.
