Clint's POV*
I wake up on the smell of a coffee.
It's really nice smell
I looked around and saw my mom reading a news paper in my balcony.
Her gaze suddenly went on me
Oh' my dearest son, did I wake you up?— she asked
No' but the coffee did— I said then we both laughed
Hurry hurry and wash up— Mom who's now chasing me to wash up.
So I get up and went to the toilet to do my morning routine.
Ahh it was a well spent off day. I said to myself and on my phone before entering shower room.
After awhile I finished washing up and went out to meet my mom and eat breakfast with her in my balcony.
Where's dad?— I asked
He went to meet his old friends— she said and you can clearly say that she don't mind it
You want to go shopping?— I asked her
Oh no dear, your auntie Mariotte and I will have a lunch together— she said
Now my parents abandoning me— I said jokingly
Tsk! If you have a girlfriend you wouldn't be alone on your off days— my mom
Mom' I told you, I'm not ready to be in a relationship— I replied then put a bread toast in my mouth
When will you be ready? You're 25 now Iñigo— my mom calling me with my second name
Mommy' are you really that in rush to chase me out of this house?— I said jokingly again
This will be yours and your future wife house so don't give me that— she said and I just laughed.
After we eat my mom went out to meet auntie Mariotte and for me I'm going to meet a client, well, I accepted since I don't have anything to do today. My little sister is with her boyfriend and I cannot disturb them.
While on my way to the restaurant that my client book I saw a familiar girl, so I tried to chase her to my surprise she went inside the restaurant that I'm about to go, when I reached there I tried to look for her again but I couldn't find her instead I saw Leona with someone.
Woah what brings you here?— Leona asked when I reached their table
Meeting client— I answered while still looking around
Oh alright! I'm with my friend— Leona said I'm about to look at the friend when suddenly a server called me
Mr. Ruiz, this way— the waiter said and I bid goodbye to Leona by giving her a nod and meet the client.
After meeting the client, I went straight home and do my workouts.

Noelle's POV*
Today I'm going back on reporting, now I'm on my way to Clint's company
Eeeeelle!— Rosie who's so happy to see me
Hi Elle— William, and then avoid his gaze on me
Err what happened?— I thought to myself
How are you?— Rosie asked
I'm ok— I replied
Morning— a familiar voice so I turn around to see Clint, our eyes met and I don't know why he's looking at me like that.
And he suddenly sign me to go inside his office then he walked in
I looked at Rosie with puzzled look
Don't worry, he must be wondering why you weren't coming in the office for a week— She said
I know him, ok? He will just ask you and that's it— she added so I just nodded and went inside Clint's office.
I knocked
Come in— I heard Clint's voice so I open the door and went inside
He's sitting on his chair looking at me intently while his chin resting on his right hand
I'm puzzled at to what's going on and became more confused when he speak
Name your price— he said
What do you mean?— I replied and he seems a bit confused too as to what I said
He didn't answer instead he squinted his eyes as if looking for an answer and as for me I'm still standing and waiting for the answer
Sit'— he command
So I went to the sofa and sit and Clint get up from his chair and sit on the sofa facing me
Tell me' you don't remember?— he asked
I don't remember what?— I said whkle frowning
Elle' think carefully, the night after party— he said and it suddenly hit me
Don't tell me— me and put my hands on my mouth
He stand up and walk around the office, the atmosphere was so quiet when he suddenly sit again in front of me.
Look, I'm sorry on what happened, but it's not right for you to not to know what happened— he started while me still in shock
He sighed
Elle— he called me and about to apologize
It's alright! It's my fault for not being careful— I said while cutting him off
I'm about to go when he stopped me by pulling my arm
It's not, we are both victims here, I guessed— he said and he really looks apologetically that makes me irritated
Is this how rich people behave when they did something wrong?— I asked and can tell the disgust on my tone
I'm rich, yes' and I'm also trying to protect myself and image especially on what happened that night, it wasn't my intention and I would never do such thing— he said with his gritted teeth
Excuse me? What are you trying to say?— I looked at him
I'm trying to say, that we are both victims here' especially you, you don't even know what happened and you can't even remember me in that morning talking to you— he said
I shake off his hand on my arm and went out of his office
I don't care if Will and Rosie are looking at me, I just want to be away of this place.
Just lucky as I am, my brother is now going to see Clint this will be a chaos.
I greeted my brother to avoid more conflicts
Morning Sir Leon— I said and walk away without waiting for him to answer
