Darlene's Point of View
I'm driving my car now, I'm going home from the Bliss Restaurant where I met Frederick. I can't believe that Frederick is the new Black Dragon.
I reached home without any troubles. Leo and Anna was about to eat dinner when I came in the dinning room.
"Good evening!" I happily greeted them and put the pack of food in the table.
"Good evening sis." Anna replied.
"Good evening too." Leo said. "Come and eat with us." He offered.
"I'm done dinner and I brought this foods for you guys. Anna, I know you'll love this." I said while opening the box.
"Mhhhm, smells so good." Anna said while sniffing the air with eyes closed. "It's from Bliss Restaurant, isn't it?" She asked me.
"Yeah right." I happily replied and put fried chicken out, pizza, the 3 kind of Viands which I doesn't know the name, fries and burger.
"Oh my gosh, it's so many." Anna said and get the burger sandwich.
"Ooops, rice first and eat less because it's already night." I said.
"Sis!" Anna sounds complaining.
"Joke, hahahaha." I laughed. "It's just sometimes so, eat all you can." I said and everybody is happy. "I'll go to my room first, just eat guys." I said.
"Thank you sis." Anna said, I just smiled at her and go to my room.
I took a half-bath, change clothes and sat down on my bed. I called Jack to asked some updates about Leon.
"Hello." I said when he answered my call.
"Hello Claire. Is there any problems?" Jack asked.
"Nothing." I replied. "I just want to asked, is there's any updates about Leon?" I asked.
"I lost track on him. We don't know where he is now and who helped him." Jack replied. "You seems so worried, are you scared of him?" Jack asked.
"Scared? Do you think I'm scared of him?" I asked back.
"Well, you're the one he must be scared of." Jack replied. "Don't worry, he will get out of his hole sooner or later." He said.
"Alright, just call me if there's any news about him. Bye." I said.
"Bye." He replied and end up the call.
I just get even more eager to caught or kill Leon when Frederick told me that he killed all the Gangsters under Black Dragon. He is not sure but he guessed that the car accident of her mother was caused by Leon too.
It also came to my mind, helping Frederick to get justice against Leon. I already accepted and moved on from the past, why not become friends with him again? We can become bestfriends and partner in crimes again just like when we are in college. But it was still up to him if he wanted to make our friendship works again.
I lay on bed and tried to sleep early because I still have a lot of works in the resort tomorrow.
Two weeks later, I became even more closer with Fire Queen. Frederick is trying to get closer with me too. As of Leon, we still cannot trace where he is now.
I just got home and sat on the couch at the living room when someone used the door bell. "Anna, please open the gate." I shouted but I don't know where is Anna. We don't have maids here and we are doing all the household chores.
"You're here, how's your day?" Anna asked while coming to the living room from the kitchen. "It's fun, someone used the door bell, please check it." I said.
"Yes, ma'am." Anna replied and immediately go to the door.
"Sorry, I'm tired." I said and smiled.
A few moments later. Anna was back and someone is following her, it's Frederick.
"Claire, you have a visitor." Anna said.
"Hi, Darlene." Frederick said while coming closer.
"Hello, have a sit." I offered and he sat in the couch, in front of me.
"Do you guys want any drinks, food or?" Anna asked.
"What do you want?" I asked Frederick.
"Any cold juice will do." He replied.
"Alright, two glasses of juice." Anna said and go to the kitchen.
"Who is she?" Frederick asked.
"She's Anna, my sister." I replied.
"I thought you're only sister is Joylene?" He asked.
"Yeah, she's not my true sister but I love her. I already treated her as my true family." I replied.
"Oh, I see." Frederick replied.
Leo goes out of his room and saw us. "Hi!" He greeted us. "Claire, I'll be going out now. Can u borrow your car?" He asked.
"Yeah, just used the red one." I replied.
"Thanks. I'll go ahead, I'm sorry for disturbing your talk." Leo said.
"It's alright." Frederick replied.
"Take care, bye." I said and Leo immediately goes out.
"Is he your boyfriend?" Frederick curiously asked.
"Hahahaha!" I laughed. "No." I answered.
"Who is he?" He asked.
"He is my friend, Leo." I replied.
"Just a friend? Why is staying here in your home?" Frederick asked.
"Can't I decide whomever I wanted to stay here or not?" I asked back.
"I'm sorry, I'm just curious." Frederick replied.
"He is a strong man. He already helped me a lot and it's just right if I let him stay here. Besides, only me and Anna were living in this big mansion." I said.
"That's great but why don't you get some maid?" Frederick asked.
"They are just disturbance besides, I and Claire can easily do the household chores. It's also an exercise for me." Anna said and put the juice on the table.
"Mhhmm!" Frederick exclaimed.
"Anna, he is Frederick, my old friend." I introduced Frederick to Anna. "I already told him about you." I said to Anna.
"Nice to meet you." Anna smiled to Frederick.
"Nice to meet you too, Anna." Frederick replied.
"You may have a lot of things to talk, I'll go now." Anna said and make her way to the kitchen. She maybe cooking for dinner.
"She seems so kind and obedient." Frederick said.
"Haha!" I laughed because he is very wrong when Anna first came here. I took months just to teach her good manners and right conduct. Luckily, she's acting like a good and knowledgeable now and she's already trying to forget the way she lives in the streets as a beggar. "Yeah, she is." I replied and chuckled.
"What's so funny?" Frederick asked.
"Nothing." I replied. "By the way, why did you come here?" I asked.
