"She's late! By the time we set foot to that place, the fun is already starting." Aaron said in an impatient tone of voice. It has been twenty minutes since school ended, and Lucia is still no here. The distance between Tiger High and Crystal High is not even that far, and yet Lucia is taking to much time to get here. 'I promise once you get here, you're going to have the worst day ever!"

"What's wrong with your brother? And who is 'she'?" Nathalia whispered to Anna.

Aaron has been mentioning this "she" person quite a few times now, and Nathalia has no idea who is this "she". Nathalia knows that whoever that person is, is none of her business, but she is curious about what kind of person is this "she" that can make Aaron go in such a rush.

"Oh, once she gets here I'll introduce her to you. It's better for you to meet her personally." From the way Anna spoke, it looks to her that Anna admires that person very much. As far as Nathalia knows, the only people who Anna admires this much is Mary Coleman and the other big shots, and that also includes Aaron, of course. 'This person must an interesting one.' Nathalia inwardly said.

After a few minutes later two motorbikes suddenly stop in front of Anna and the others. Anna was shocked, she was not prepared for these two people's sudden arrival. The two riders have their helmets on, and she could not tell who exactly they are. But one thing is clear to her though, the riders are a male and a female.

Before Anna could even ask them who they are, her brother suddenly stepped forward and angrily spoke to them, "Do you know what time it is? Huh?!"

Anna heard a laugh and a grumbling voice from the two riders. "I was trying to get rid of this person, that's why I'm late, Master. Please do forgive me just this once." When Anna heard that, she was slightly surprised that one of these riders is the person she and her brother are waiting for.

"Who?" Aaron asked with a frown, then looks at the other person.

Both riders took off their helmets then familiar faces were bestowed upon Aaron. It was Lucia and Ophius, "As you can see, this person..." Lucia pointed at Ophius, "wanted to come along, but I don't want him to come along."

Ophius chuckled hearing that from his dear friend, "She tried any means to stop me from coming along, but as you can see, I am here. Surprise!"

Truthfully, Ophius only wanted to come along is because he wanted to witness Lucia's suffering under Aaron's commands. After all the suffering he had been through from Lucia's moody self, he thinks that this is the only way that could make feel great, at least for a little bit.

"Wow, I am so surprised," Aaron said with boredom expression plastered on his face. He is not a bit happy seeing Ophius' face, 'Out of all people, why him?' Ophius may look like he is always serious, but on the inside, he is very playful like Zen. That is one of the reasons why Aaron doesn't want any more playful person around him; Zen is enough for him.

"Dude, seriously? Why can't you at least smile for me?" 

As Aaron and Ophius were having their conversation, Anna dragged Nathalia to introduce her to Lucia. "Lucia!" Anna happily called out Lucia's name.

The sour mood that Lucia had earlier is now gone when she heard Anna calling her out in a happy tone. "Ah! Anna, my sweet beautiful swan!" Lucia excitedly climbed down from her bike, then happily hugs Anna tightly. As she is hugging Anna, Lucia stared at the person behind Anna.

In Lucia's eyes, this person behind Anna is like an angel that came down from the sky. Along with that beautiful face of hers is her crystal clear blue eyes. Those eyes are mesmerizing to look at; Lucia is going to bet that once this beautiful angel grows up to be a fine mature lady, there will be a lot of suitors lining up at her door.

Noticing that Lucia is staring at Nathalia, Anna pulled away from Lucia. "This is my friend Nathalia Vendallin, uncle Leonardo's daughter."

There was a hint of surprise in Lucia's face when she heard that Nathalia is the precious daughter of Leonardo Vendallin. She had heard once that Leonardo only acts gently towards his wife and daughter, believing that is one of the hardest things that Lucia has to do. She can't imagine a cold-hearted man like Leonardo to act all gently; even if she tries to, it will only give her s.h.i.+vers.

'I don't know if I even want to see that side of master Leonardo.' Lucia inwardly said.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

"And Nathalia, this is Lucia, my brother's partner."

"h.e.l.lo." She greeted. Nathalia does not know what kind of expression should she show to Lucia. At first, Nathalia felt that she and Lucia can get along, but when she heard that Lucia is Aaron's partner, she is starting to guess that she will feel slightly uncomfortable being around Lucia. 'They must be close to each other.' She stated silently.
