25 What's going on?

Uno as day passed by finally understood Rex and Tito's words. Luciano never forced them to do anything. He would listen to any suggestions and unlike his tyrant attitude towards outsider, he treated them with respect which is unusual in the world they live.

Drinking his beer, he observed the people around the pool area from his balcony. Though these people were busy with their own stuff whilst arguing. A hint of warmth surrounded his heart.

"So this is what it truly feels like having a family... You argue about everything but would backed each other's back in times of peril. You have freedom to be yourself. You can be dumb sometimes, sleep at ease and have someone to leaned on. Their dumbness were sometimes contagious, it was tolerable." His lips turned upward as he mumbled to himself

Uno viewed towards Luciano gradually changed. He treated him as his older brother and would always respect his opinions and instruction. Thus, when Luciano wanted to turn into a new leaf, he was told that he would never survive the outside world and earn decent money. Albeit, Uno took it as a challenge.

That is the very reason why he is here now, looking after a troublesome rich girl.

In present time:

Riggs side glances at Uno who was immense in his own thoughts. His mood was as bad as him as he wanted to slacked off but he would always be threatened by Uno saying;

'If something happens to her, I wonder how the hell would you find another job that pays as big as this. Remember, you burned boss money you gambling addict."

By the time Riggs check his wristwatch, it was 6:20pm. He turned the steering wheel and sped off to the Yue mansion. One kilometer away from the Yue mansion, they passed by Seraphina who was leisurely walking at the side walk.

Seeing the the black Range Rover stopped few steps from her. Seraphina quickly hopped towards the car. Before both men could say anything she exclaimed.

"Why did you leave me?! I have to walk from the mall to here! You both are heartless!" Her pretentious accusations snapped Uno's last straw of patience but before the words could slipped his mouth, it was abruptly stopped by Riggs whose hand was now covering his mouth. Riggs forced a smile on his face while widening his eyes. As if saying:

'Shut up you might get my money involve you idiot!'

Riggs cleared his throat before he humbly apologize.

"It was our fault for misunderstanding our great Miss and thought you left the premises."

"Don't worry, I forgive you." Sounding magnanimous she said.

Both men faced twitched at the degree of shamelessness of the girl.

Reaching the Yue mansion, they noticed a few police mobile. Riggs and Uno heart pounded as they thought,

"Did they know who I am?" -Uno

"F*ck! Am I going to lose this job?" Riggs thought

Although, they are confident they could escape these people, finding another 'easy' job that pays well are rare.

As they entered the living area, Seraphina witness the police officer shook Sebastian Yue's hand before he departed. The police officer slowed down and bowed slightly to her as he passed by her.

Seraphina saw Marga perched at the long sofa with her wholebody trembling— beside her is her mother, Marjorie. Sebastian Yue was sitting at the head seat and had a grave expression all over his face. She walked towards them with a puzzled look.

"What's going on?" As her melodious sweet voice reached Sebastian ears, he felt relieved seeing Seraphina. He raised his head and his expression immediately softened seeing his granddaughter.

"Come here." Sebastian pointed at the chair near his left side. She hopped towards him and shot a concerned look at her cousin Marga.

"What happened to you? Did something went wrong with your party?" She asked in a concerned manner. Hearing her words, Marga's bloodshot red eyes started to well up as her body started to shiver uncontrollably. Sebastian Yue deeply sighed as he pitied the gilt. He turned his head to Seraphina and filled her in.

"Someone attacked her house while they are having a party. Fortunately, no one got hurt." Hearing this Seraphina gasped.

"Oh my! You must be traumatized." She immediately hopped to Marga's direction and she gently held her hand filled with concern.

"Grandfather, why don't you let them stay here until the person who did this to my cousin wasn't identified? It is much safer here!" She turned her head at Sebastian as if she was the one who was traumatized.

Hearing her suggestions, Sebastian was delighted as he nod in agreement. Although he already had it in mind, he still wanted to discuss it with her as he thought she would feel uncomfortable due to her condition. But he was surprised and satisfied that Seraphina was the one who suggested it.

She widely smiled to Sebastian Yue before turning her head back to Marga.

"Don't worry cousin the authorities will find that maniac who did this to you, right Auntie?" Marjorie awkwardly nodded in agreement at Seraphina. She hugged Marga as if consoling her. No one saw the glint that flashed across her eyes.

At the corner of the room, Uno suspiciously narrowed his eyes witnessing Seraphina's odd behavior. He knew it was an initial reaction of a normal person to act extremely concern, Alas he felt she wasn't concerned or worried but rather entertained.
