Mitch still didn’t let go of my hand until we came to the end of the beach resort. I didn’t know there was a refreshment store just standing here. And there are tables lying on the sand. There are also many customers. In the distance, I saw Duke smiling widely in my direction. I don't know what's in this man's brain anymore.

"Amara and Duke are already here. They were ahead of us," said Mitch.

I nodded in response.

"What do you want, Zander?"

"It's up to you what's yours. My is the same."

Mitch left me for a moment, then I walked in Duke's direction.

I hadn't sat down yet when Amara asked me.

"Are you in a relationship with Mitch, Zander? You're so comfortable with each other."

"No, we're just friends."

"Really? Why don't you court her? Mitch is kind and beautiful. Then there's something I noticed."

"What's that?" I would ask.

"That's for you to find out."

Mitch is approaching as Amara has calmed down from asking. But I was too curious about what he said.

"Here's your order, Zander," said Mitch, smiling.

"Thanks." Mitch gave me a juice and a burger.

So when do you plan to go home?" Mitch asked.

"Tonight. Why?" Amara asked.

"Your parents came home, Amara, and then they called me," said Mitch.

Amara and Duke were suddenly worried. While I was there, I just shook my head.

"What did you say, Mitch? Did you say we're here?"

"Of course."

"What?"

"Relax, Amara, you're nervous about that. But they extended it for a few months so you can breathe."

"When you have been a coward, Duke, you are no longer teenagers who have to hide your relationship," I said.

"I really wanted to face but Amara stopped me," said Duke.

"Don't you want to have a peaceful relationship, Amara?" I asked her.

"I want to, but mommy and daddy have different habits, they might separate us. Sometimes, when they're so strict, I think in living alone," said Amara.

I'm sure you'll be allowed, but what's in return?" Mitch asked.

"I will be rejected as their child."

"The harshness of your parents is something, Amara," I said.

"That's right. I'm not happy with my family being able to afford it in life, because there's always something forbidden in my actions," said Amara.

"Their over-protective manners are out of place."

Then Duke and Amara took a deep breath.

I'm in the office right now. I was doing something and then the door opened. I thought Randolf had come in. As I looked up, I saw a face of Mr. Ching smiling.

"You're already here, Zaneska. I thought you weren't coming. Your executive assistant is annoyed with me over and over again when I ask questions. It's a good thing he didn't punch me," he said to me.

My eyes rolled.

What do you want, Mr. Ching?"

"Zaneska, relax. I won't bother you. I'll just sit here." he replied while sitting on the couch.

I sighed. I have had no peace of mind since this man came.

"I'm not comfortable working with someone watching me, so you can wait for me outside the office," I said. It laughs.

"Sure."

Randolf entered afterwards.

"Miss, you have a visitor."

And the investigator I talked to last month came in.

"Sit down." I commanded him.

"It's too early for you to frown like that. Is that because of your Chinese lover outside?" When else have we been close to each other?

"Shut up! It's work you came here for," I said.

She laughs.

"It's because he thinks badly of me. He thought maybe I was going to date you, but it's not bad that I'll try."

"Damn you, Arthur!"

"So you're not having a boyfriend because you're too snobbish," he said to me.

What is what I'm asking you to do?" I asked him.

"I didn't see any problems with your parents. And I'm looking for who could possibly chase you that night. Maybe you had a fight?"

My eyes rolled.

"Who will I fight? I know how to handle my temper."

"Knowing you, maybe you know someone?"

Suddenly, I thought of the man who approached me at the bar before. Maybe it was him, but I talked to him properly that time.

"So for now you shouldn't go out at night until we know who they are."

He looked at me. Arthur and I are only known by name. We are not that close. He really knows my parents.

"What? Do you want to tell me something?"

"Can you join me for dinner? None bad things happen to you because I'm with you."

My eyebrows rose.

"We're just going to eat and I know it's not a date." Arthur laughs.

"You're really very sensitive. All right, I won't force you anymore because you're really avoiding being in the tabloids tomorrow since you're with a guy. It's different when you're very famous," he said to me.

"Just call me because there's another person I hate outside waiting for me. You two are naughty."

"Just take him to our dinner," Arthur's suggestion.

"That was a good idea."

"You're beautiful too."

"Really? I just heard that."

"Yeah, because we're just now talking like this."

Arthur left and I was left alone.

I know I have a new friend besides Mitch. I leave a greeting, and the woman no longer calls me.Maybe too busy with the man she claims to be her boyfriend. I left the office because it was already late afternoon. All my employees have gone home. I immediately saw Mr. Ching next to Arthur.

Who is this guy, Zaneska? He said.

You're going somewhere, and I'm going with you. We should just leave together. I've been waiting here for a while, and then I couldn't be with you. " Mr. Ching's lengthy complaint

"He is my friend, Mr. Ching. If it's okay with you, have him come with us. " I said. But I noticed his face was darkened, as if he was angry.

"Better luck next time, Zaneska. Make sure that friends of yours will no longer be with us next time."
