Chapter 339
When Melissa heard a long pause from the other end of the phone call, she suddenly realized she was being too pushy.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to sound overly eager.”
“Oh, it’s fine,” Yandel quickly replied, “You can find me on WhatsApp using this phone number.”
“Really?” Melissa leaped in thrill. So it’s not just me! He likes me too!
“Yeah. I’ll be waiting.”
Yandel suddenly got goosebumps, but it was not like he had a choice. He was commissioned to do this, so he could only continue the awkward conversation.
He could not help but wonder how two siblings could be so different.
Meanwhile, Melissa was so engrossed in her happiness that she had no idea what Yandel was
thinking
After they ended the call, Melissa immediately added him on WhatsApp. When she saw that Yandel read her message immediately, she felt all fuzzy within.
“I’m sure he likes me. I will date him once he professes his love to me. Wait, should I play hard to-get?”
Melissa let her thoughts run wild. She did not sense her mother walking into her room.
“Melissa, who are you talking about? Is it Yandel Moss of Dream Corporation?” Yvonne heard everything she said.
Melissa jumped the moment she heard someone’s voice. “Mom! What are you doing here?”
“Answer me.”
“Yes.” she said softly. “Mom, I know what I felt. I’m sure he has feelings for me too.”
Yvonne was way more experienced and careful than Melissa.
“Tell me what happened.”
A few days elapsed in normalcy. One evening, Ross was sending Natalie home after work when he saw from the rearview mirror that a motorbike was tailing them.
“I think someone is following us,” he said.
Natalie looked sideways as if she was thinking about something.
“More like someone has been following us,” she corrected. “I think it started the day before yesterday.”
Ross became worried. “Do you think Yandel and I should look into it?”
“It’s okay. I don’t think the person behind them is anyone significant judging from how bad of a work they’re doing,” Natalie said with a laugh. “In fact, I think I know who sent them.”
Ross felt relieved when he saw that Natalie was confident of her judgment. She had always been wise and sensible.
The sky was getting dark. The light from the lamp posts illuminated Natalie’s face. She looked out the window and her face hardened.
I reckoned only Yara could do this. No. I’m sure that it’s her.
