Chapter 711 - Big Brother Kyle (1/2)

Sam stared at Beatrice as she gave him the lowdown on what had been happening since he was away.

His mouth was practically wide open, while Beatrice ignored his expression as she rattled on.

Once done, she put down her notebook and looked at him.

He was still staring at her with his mouth open.

”This can't be happening,” Sam muttered under his breath, pinching the space between his eyebrows.

”It's all yours now,” Beatrice said with glee, ”Good luck. I certainly don't envy you at all.”

Sam groaned.

”Serves you right for taking more than the scheduled one month leave, you know,” Beatrice said with a grin, ”Perhaps, if you had been around, it might not have gotten to this stage?”

The fact that even if Sam had been around, nothing would have changed, didn't matter to Beatrice. She knew that Sam liked being in control and having everything going according to plan.

What had happened when he was away was completely random, but she still wanted to tease him about it. After all, her break was delayed because he extended his. Little did Beatrice know, she wouldn't have done this years ago … the effect of the Dante twins was far greater than she realised.

As for Sam, he remembered all those years ago. When they had traveled while he was doing his John Wick promotional tours and he had the fleeting thought of Kyle causing problems with girls. He had dismissed it then, for Kyle didn't show that he was going down *that* road.

Sam had been happy enough that his job only entailed the business, and not having to clean-up after the boss' affairs.

Now, he had only gone for his honeymoon and what had happened?

A fake son that he is fostering. A shareholder that is pregnant with his kid. What else? A childhood sweetheart that starts becoming crazy, demanding his attention?

Sam shook his head, ”My bad, Beatrice.”

Beatrice laughed and patted him on the shoulder as she walked off, ”I'm teasing you, silly. Though the 'good luck' is serious. Send my love to Betty!”

Thinking about Betty made Sam smile. It had only been an hour since he left her and he was already missing her. Now that she was his completely, Sam found his possessiveness went up a notch.

Luckily, Betty didn't mind it.

Or rather, she was oblivious to it.

Sam grinned.

Dahlia was still sniffling a bit when she got back to class. Luckily, she managed to dash here in time and she had not cried. Well, technically hadn't. She had been rubbing her eyes and wiping it continuously to stop the tears from falling.

In the end, she had a slightly red nose and eyes.

Her desk partner looked at her worriedly, ”What's wrong, Dahlia?”
