17 Chapter 17: The towel (1/2)

Brent was so shocked to see the picture of his sister next to his former gang boss. He picked up the pen and paper that fell on the floor and put it on the table.

”this is not a Photoshop, is it?” he asked with suspicious. Ken shook his head.

He clenched his chest, he could not believe that his sister who wore a diaper until she was seven was the ex-fiancee of his previous boss, and worst she left him,

Novie left a perfect man.

He took the phone and zoomed the picture.

”This is my sister. Oh my God! I will need to ask my mom if Novie has a twin. This couldn't be her she's a very simple woman” he stated

The man laughed by his words,” it's her, I just don't know why she never mentioned me to her family” Ken took his phone back and locked it.

Brent lay both of his hand on his knee and massage it a slowly while thinking.

”she's my sister but did she threatened you to be her boyfriend?” his brows snapped together, confused.

Ken continued laughing, ”no, so can you help me?”

Brent twitched his lips, ”Yes, I will, but she's too ordinary for you and she's a dwarf, I can't picture her being your girlfriend” Brent exclaimed.

When Ken stood up, Brent's eyes followed him. The man took something out of the closet and handed it to him.

Brent stared at it, when ken opened it, his eyes widened.

”I've seen this before,” he asked if he can touch it and Ken said ok while laughing, his reaction was too funny for him.

Brent narrowed his eyes and stared at it

”where have you seen it?” Ken asked.

Brent put the ring back and sighed, ”her phone's wallpaper was a hand with an engagement ring. I thought she got from Google out of bitterness but I guess it's real”His words shock Ken, he sat next to Brent and the man moved away, giving him a space to sit.

When Ken put a hand on Brent's shoulder, the man stared at it and looked back at him.

(Wow. He really likes that mushroom woman) Brent stated inside.

”If she still has that picture as a wallpaper it means she still has feelings for me. Right?” ken asked.

Brent pressed his lips, ” well. I am not really sure ” he replied.

”why?” ken asked.

”she lost her phone while she's at the beach, and her phone's new wallpaper now has a picture of our previous cat” after saying those words, Brent saw the sadness in his boss eyes.

He thought of a way to cheer him up.

”Novie started writing her diary after she came back five years ago. Maybe you can read it to see if she wrote anything about you” he suggested.

The man went silent.

”I will not do that. It's her diary and I can't read it without her consent” Brent nodded, he had huge respect to Ken Chu as his former boss but knowing his soft side only ignited it.

”well, I can show you her childhood picture. Who knows, maybe your love for her will disappear once you saw her ugly side” Brent laughed and stood up

”I will go to my apartment, I have all the photo in there” then he walks to the door.

”Thank you, I appreciate that” Ken extended his hand to him, he accepted it and left the place.

Meanwhile, Ken sighed, he had never seen any of Novie's childhood photo and now that her brother is on his side; he had a good feeling that he will get her back in no time.

Thinking that he decided to take a shower. It's almost 5 in the afternoon. Soon it will be dinner and he doesn't have an idea of how he can eat.

He never cooked, clean, and he doesn't even know how to make a coffee and without a maid in his side, he's afraid that he will die first before he can have a chance to novie.

Novie was helping her mother to prepare the dinner when she suddenly thought of Ken.
