 "You are a nerd." Sinclair joked making Venessa pursed her lips because of how merrily he was laughing.

 

 "It's funny how everything you know is tech or academic-related." Sinclair teased.

 

 "Whatever." Venessa hissed annoyed by him.

 

 "Are you interested in some rumours about the Marino family?" Sinclair whispered at Venessa who was sipping her drink. She dropped her cup and stared at Sinclair intently ready to hear what he had in mind.

 

 "Stop leaving me in suspense and just talk." Venessa chimed unable to hold herself back.

 

 "Okay, there is this rumour that the present head of the Marino family is an orphan that he lost his parents on the same night. They were assassinated by their rivals." Sinclair whispered.

 

 "I have heard something like that before," Venessa mumbled remembering some rumours she heard while working as a waitress.
