Ana looked between the woman and the man. The woman looked a bit like Joyce, but only slightly.
The main difference was that this woman had a fuller figure.
Joyce was slender and didn’t have much body, but this girl was curvier.
She glanced at Mr. Kings. She saw how tense his body was, the sadness in his eyes. She wondered what was going on.
“Charlie, long time no see,” the woman said with a soft smile.
Mr. Kings turned around and looked at them. His eyes moved over them, scanning their entire bodies. He could never forget that face especially hers.
How could he forget the face of the woman he used to love years ago?
“Juliet. Kelvin. Long time, no see” Mr. Kings said, his voice a little cold.
Juliet stretched her hand out for a handshake. But Mr. Kings didn’t take it. He kept his hands in his pockets.
“Still cold as ever,” Kelvin teased.
Mr. Kings remained silent. His face was unreadable, a faint frown forming.
“Hi, I’m Juliet. And you are?” Juliet asked, offering her hand to Ana.
“I’m Annabella Evans,” Ana replied, shaking her hand.
“It’s nice to meet you, Anna.” Juliet smiled, then looked back at Mr. Kings. “Long time, Charlie. You’ve changed so much. You’ve grown up.”
“Yeah, you did. It’s been so long since we last saw you,” Kelvin added.
“People change. You changed too. So I don’t expect myself to stay the same,as before” Mr. Kings said. His voice was flat, emotionless.
Ana could feel the tension between the three of them, but she didn’t ask.
“How’s Joyce?” Juliet asked him.
“I don’t know. That’s not my business,” Mr. Kings replied. “If you want to know how your sister is, you should go and visit her, not ask a stranger.”
Ana’s lips parted slightly. Sister
So she was Joyce’s sister. No wonder they looked so similar.
“She just wanted to know how her sister is. You don’t have to be mean, Charlie,” Kelvin said, sliding his hands into his pockets.
Mr. Kings narrowed his eyes at him. “I’m not being mean. It’s been years, and she expects me to know how her sister is doing? Why don’t you go visit her yourselves..,” he said, turning to look Ana
“Let’s go.”
Juliet sighed. “Look, Charlie, I know what happened years ago wasn’t right. We’re heading to New York now, we just bumped into you by coincidence. Please… we’re friends. You don’t have to act like this.mean”
Mr. Kings let out a small chuckle. “Mean?” he repeated. “Do I look like I’m being mean? Anyway, it was nice seeing you… dear ex,” he said coldly.
His gaze shifted to Kelvin. The two stared at each other for a moment eyes filled with unspoken emotions. They used to be best friends, more like brothers.
But because of a woman, everything had fallen apart.
And neither of them wanted to admit fault. Each one believed he was right.
“See you around, Kelvin,” Mr. Kings said.
“And you are?” Kelvin asked, turning his attention to Ana. “You’re beautiful,” he added with a smile.
“I’m Kelvin.”
Ana smiled politely. “It’s nice to meet you,” she said, reaching out her hand for a handshake.
But before their hands could meet, Mr. Kings stepped between them. “Stay the f+k away from her, she is off limits” he said sharply, his voice cold and his face tense.
Kelvin chuckled and stepped back, lifting his hands. “I was just trying to be friendly, that’s all,” he said.
Mr. Kings slipped an arm around Ana’s waist. “She’s my girlfriend. And I don’t think you need to friendly to her . See you around,” he said and turned to walk away with Ana.
“F***,” Kelvin muttered, watching them walk away.
He looked at Juliet.
That same sad expression was back on her face. It made his heart ache. He walked to her, gently placed his hand on her waist, and kissed her forehead.
“Are you okay?” he asked.
“I didn’t expect to see Charlie… and I didn’t know he’d be this cold,” she said.
“He’ll come around. He’s just mad.”
“I’m worried. That friendship we had it’s all gone. And what about Joyce? If Charlie still hates me like this, Joyce probably won’t even look at me.”Juliet’s voice trembled.
Kelvin kissed her forehead again.
Somehow, he knew this was also his fault.
But seeing her like this made his chest tighten.
“It’s okay. We’ll figure it all out. We’ll get our friends back. You know Charlie ,he’s stubborn, but he’ll come around. Come on, we need to catch our flight before we’re late,” he said, kissing her cheek.
Juliet smiled faintly and nodded with a sigh, just as she saw Mr. Kings open the car door for Ana.

In side the car
“I thought you weren’t going to come back to Paris. I’m glad to see you,” Alexa said as she drove toward Mr. King’s house.
“I had to come because of business,” he replied. “Otherwise… I probably wouldn’t have returned.”
“Everyone’s going to be happy to see you,” Alexa said.
“Especially Ryan,” she added with a smile.
“Oh, Ryan is still in Paris?” Mr. Kings asked.
“Yeah, he is. He went to Italy and come back,” she said, glancing at him through the mirror.
“Well, that motherfucker can’t just leave Paris. That’s for sure,” Mr. Kings muttered.
Alexa smiled. “Well, we’re going to see him now. I’m sure he’s going to be a competitor at the CEO Awards. You know Ryan… he always wants to beat you up in every, so now I don’t know who’s going to beat who?”
Mr. King chuckled, then glanced at Anna, who had been quiet. “Are you okay?” he asked, his voice low.
Anna looked at him and offered a small smile. “I’m fine,” she replied.
Mr. King nodded, though he didn’t believe her. That smile looked far too forced.
“Well, he knows I always win, so I’m sure I’m going to beat him again this time,” Mr. King said, glancing back at Alexa.
“Is your personal assistant always this quiet?” Alexa asked, glancing at Ana through the mirror.
“She’s not. I bet she’s just tired from the flight,” Mr. King said. Then he looked at Ana again.
” Oh I see, you must be tired”Alexa said
Anna smiled tightly. “Im fine, thank you for being concerned ” she said politely.
Alexa smiled. “Well, I like you. You’re such an adorable woman ” she said and drove into the private garage.
Mr. Kings looked at Ana the way, she was so quiet, made him wonder if had done something to upset her.
Clearing his throat, he said, “We’re here.” opening the car door for her.
