Where did she go?
Boyce turned around and left, he saw that someone was coming towards him so he asked, "Did you
see anyone leaving from my office?"
The person shook his head and said, "I haven't seen."
She had no place to go, did she go back to the school?
When Boyce thought of that, he went towards the door with big steps, he almost ran into Wendy who
came inside.
"In a rush? Where are you going?" Wendy was wearing a flower dress, white sandals and her hair was
open, she was wearing make up and looked at him laughing.
Boyce answered, "Nothing."
"Since you got nothing to do, why don't we have some tea together, I wanna talk to you." She curled
her lips, "Let's find a place, or should we stay in your office?"
"Wendy, actually I don have something..."
"Didn't you just say there was nothing? Or are you trying to hide from me? Because of what happened
in my apartment the other time?"
"No..."
"So what is it? We have known each other so long, don't you understand me? I am here to apologize, I
got divorced to Corey because he cheated on me, I have my opinions to men, that is why I always
show an unpleasant face to everyone, these days I really regretted it, I want to say sorry to you in
person."
"No need, it's okay, I didn't take it to heart, I really got something to do, I have got to go." After Boyce
said that, he nodded apologetic and left quickly."
"I am here."
Just as Boyce walked out of the gate, Jasmine called out for him.
She didn't leave, she only wanted to find someone to get more information on the situation, she wanted
to take her mother away to bury, when she walked pass the main department office, she heard Officer
Miller talk to Boyce.
Even thought she wanted to be the person who was able to help Boyce, but she knew, even if she
finished her degree, she might not be the person who could do that. Even now he already had a high
position, he was such a good person, he should be able to get better.
He should marry a woman who was able to help him.
Boyce frowned, "Where did you go?"
"I went to someone who was on the case, I got the information I needed, I want to bury her soon."
Wendy was smiling, "You guys talk, I won't disturb you."
In that moment she was again the person that seemed to be of good character, but in her heart she
wasn't thinking that at all.
But to save the impression that Boyce had of her, she had to do that.
After saying so, she left.
In the moment she turned her back to them, the smile on her face vanished.
"If you need my help, let me know." Boyce said.
Jasmine shook her head, "There is nothing, I will take her home for the funeral."
Boyce looked at her, "You, are you good?"
Before she looked as if she wasn't able to take it on anymore, why did she seem fine now?
How could she be okay? She was only hiding it, she was a strong a person all along.
"People cannot come back from the dead, I will have to do my best to live my life well, I think my
mother wouldn't want to see me sad."
"It's good that you think like that." Boyce sighed, he was afraid she wouldn't be able to walk out of it.
"Boyce." Armand came inside, he saw that Jasmine was there and smiled while greeting her, "Oh,
Jasmine, you are also here."
"You guys must have something to talk about, I am leaving now." Jasmine nodded towards them,
turned around to leave, she already got the explanation to the process, after getting everything done
she could take the body home.
Armand put his arm around Boyce shoulder, "Are you fighting? Why does she seem upset? Her eyes
are swollen too, did you bully her?"
Boyce didn't want to mind him, he only looked at him, "What do you want?"
Armand laughed, "Nothing major."
"Since you got nothing, then leave." Boyce went towards his office, Armand followed him, and curled
his lips, "Look at you, forget about your best mate when you have a girl."
Boyce didn't say anything, but had a cold face on, clearly he wasn't in the mood to argue with him,
Armand bumped him with his shoulder carefully, "Are you and Jasmine fighting...?"
"Are you done?" Boyce interrupted him coldly.
Armand cursed inside, he was really not in a good mood, he didn't continue, and said seriously, "I am
here for something."
Boyce opened the door and asked, "What is it?"
"It's... Matthew wants us to go to the villa, I think he is inviting us for dinner." Armand didn't look at
Boyce.
He came to see Boyce because he wanted him to join for the dinner at the villa, actually he was going
to see Theresa, that was his goal.
But now that Boyce was not in a good mood, if he told him the truth, Boyce would never want to go with
him, so, he had to tell a lie, saying that Matthew wanted them to go.
He couldn't find an excuse for himself to go, he could only find someone to go with him.
Boyce didn't doubt anything, he humphed, "Got it."
Armand didn't make himself a stranger, he took a cup and poured himself some water, "It is already
four o'clock, I will wait here for a while for you, then we can go together."
He grabbed his water and then laid down on the couch.
Boyce put down the case in his hand and looked at Armand, "If you have time, why don't you go to the
villa first, Theresa lives there."
Armand talked big, "I am not like you guys, I don't put women before my friends, I am a good person."
"If all the good people disappeared in this world then it would be your turn to be called a good person."
Boyce looked as if he saw right through him, "You are afraid of Theresa, right?"
Armand was determined, "Why would I be afraid of her?"
Even if that was true, he couldn't admit it, otherwise he wouldn't be taken serious anymore.
He couldn't lose his masculine face in front of his brothers.
Boyce had already guessed him right, "Go on then."
Armand pretended as if he didn't hear that, he put his feet on the table and wiggled.
When it was five o'clock, Armand couldn't sit anymore, he was rushing Boyce to finish his work, "Time
to go now."
Boyce was pulled out of the office by Armand.
"Let's drive the same car." Armand pulled Boyce to his car.
Boyce pulled his arm back, "Why are you in such a rush?"
"I am hungry." Armand said randomly.
They drove the car to the villa, at this time, Matthew just got home with the two kids, Dolores was sitting
with the kids on the couch eating watermelon, Matthew was covered in sweat and went to take a
shower.
"Mommy, look at what we got." Amanda was showing off, "We went to the amusement part in the mall,
there are so many things to play with, we went through all of them, it was so fun."
Dolores put another few pieces of watermelon in her mouth, "That's why you got home so late?"
"Yes, I want to go again." Amanda was already longing for the next time, she grabbed the furry doll and
didn't let go of it anymore, she even threw Cotton to the side.
Andrew looked at his sister, "How much money was this doll that you got from the machine?"
Amanda looked as if he stepped on her feet, and suddenly got furious, "What do you care how much
money it was, I didn't use your money, Daddy said as long as I am happy it is okay. Why do you wanna
tell Mommy how much money I spent? Don't you also need money to race car?"
"We are different, when I place car racing, I lose the money in the beginning, but later I win it back, but
you, you used about 150 dollars to get one doll, every time it only takes one coin, how many times did
you play to spend a thousand? It basically means that this doll cost 150 dollars."
Dolores turned around to look at the doll in her daughters arms, it was just a normal furry doll, it might
only be about 10 or 15 in a toy store, but she spend 150 dollars to get it from the machine?
