"Oh, no. We're good here. Just go focus on your work," Annie quickly reassured.

"No, Annie. It's not that. I have work there, you see." Fred took a job as a judge of some rookie singing competition in S city. He would have declined the offer in a heartbeat, if only Annie wasn't in the same city as well.

"Oh. Really? Are you extending your business to S City, too?" Annie, although maintaining her tone, frowned deeply. Somehow, she felt that Fred's coming here would only bring trouble. He had misled everyone at the party into thinking that she was his wife. Things would just get more complicated if he came here.

"No, it's just some kind of commercial work. I don't have other plans apart from that. But I am also thinking about accompanying you for a while until you've finished your work there," Fred replied. He felt very possessive of Annie; he couldn't handle the thought of having some other man swoop in and take her away from him.

"No, really. It's okay. If you think you need to look after me and the kids, you really don't. I can't ask that much from you. Besides, we're doing great over here." Annie tried to fake some enthusiasm, anything that would make Fred change his mind.

"No way! Luke is nice! He is not terrible at all." Leena looked at them with puzzled and hurt eyes. She could admit that Luke was cool and definitely not the friendliest guy around. But he would never hurt a fly!

"That's from your point of view." Patricia and Michelle rolled their eyes at Leena. Before they stepped into this inner circle, they had never known how those men doted on Leena. When they did, they finally saw it with their own eyes. Leena was totally the princess. Those men would grant whatever was requested by her. Michelle and Patricia would be lying if they said that they were not jealous of Leena. But they also knew for a fact that Leena was unique and irreplaceable. Everything and everyone had the destiny to fulfill.
