Chapter XXII
"Dana, I'm running late. Could you please call Mr. Leith?" Drew called to ask a favor. "Just keep it quiet so the CEO won't know, okay?"
"You're putting me into trouble. Why do you have to be late today of all days, Drew?" Danie complained but she already grabbed the directory to look up for the number of James Leith.
"I know, I'm sorry. Emergency at home," Drew seemed to be running. "I'll owe you this one. Got to go."
Danie sighed. She was calling Mr. Leith's direct number. Hopefully, he would be the one to answer and not Winston Yu.
The phone was not picked up on her first attempt. But she should try again or else, if the Fleur's owner doesn't show up again, Drew would have to explain to Lucas.
Fortunately, the call got connected on the second ring.
It was the wife of Mr. Leith, she told her to wait because the man was still getting dressed.
So, she patiently waited. While waiting, she was doing a final checking of Lucas' schedules

'You can do it, Danielle. Just a little bit more.'Danie kept practicing walking without her crutches. She was determined to walk normally again. She needed to be fit at least or else, how would she be able to run if her life becomes in danger again?She had no one to rely on this time. She didn't have bodyguards to protect her, no drivers to help her escape, most of all, no Jane and Ruth who would help her despite the danger it might bring them.But she wasn't looking for people to sacrifice for her again. Because if there's one thing that she could change in the past, it was causing people to lose their lives because of her."What do you need the address for, Dana?"

Danielle could almost hear her heartbeat. Every time Lucas' fingers would touch her skin, she would feel some sort of electric current flowing through her veins.'What is going on? Why am I feeling this way?'"What were you doing in that place, Dana?" Lucas looked up to her when he was done putting an ointment on her left foot.Although Danie fell on Lucas' body, she still hurt her foot. It was nothing serious, just a bruise. But Lucas insisted they put something to relieve the pain. And that's why when they came back to her unit, he immediately attended to it gently.And that gesture left Danie dumbfounded and confused. Why would Lucas be concern about her?"I don't remember approving any leave of absence. Did you file any?""I wasn't feeling well this morning. I asked Ace and Drew if I can take an afternoon leave," she looked away from his inquisitive gaze. "I was hungry and I wanted to eat in that restaurant."

Danie went too far in thinking that it would just be her and Lucas. Because when they arrived at the restaurant, Ace and Drew were already there.Turned out, Lucas called for a meeting. Worst, he scolded the two men for allowing her to go on leave without informing him. Danielle felt like a silly child causing her two older brothers to get reprimanded by their father."Sir, Dana wasn't feeling well," Ace tried to reason. Of course, he would be the only one who had the guts to reason out. He knew Lucas too well."Does she look like she's not feeling well to you?" Lucas glared at Ace. "Do you know that because you allowed her to go without my permission, she almost got into a serious accident?""I'm sorry, Sir," Ace had to quit reasoning this time. He had no idea of what happened to Dana but since his boss was acting like this, he would just save his questions to Dana herself."Sorry? Can your sorry take a life back from the d

I'm attending a Minister's meeting tonight so I won't hold you for long."Lucas thought of Dana so he called Ace after talking to his father."I'm going out first to meet my dad.
