Marissa took a sip of her beer and sighed in contentment, “I’ve been king forward to this all day,” she said stretching her legs out.
Sophie nodded and grinned at her friend, “Me too. The good thing is at least you got a chance to win from Flint. Ha–ha.”
“Girls!” Flint who was still dizzy sitting in the rocking chair huffed, “You can’t talk about me like I’m not here.
And I lost intentionally. I didn’t want to see her giving up on life.”
He pointed towards Marissa whose mouth was hung open in shock.
“Seriously, Flint? You lost! Accept it and move on,” She shook her head and eyed Sophia who was trying hard to suppress her grin.
“My granddaughter cares for you a great deal. I
couldn’t hurt her. The kids. They take you as an ideal. How will I tell them the next morning that their mom lost twice? Nah! I might be a gamer, but I’m also a
human.”

Marissa was looking at the old man who had gone back to sleep after delivering the speech and Sophia was busy covering her mouth. She wasn’t able to control
her mirth anymore.

rolled her eyes, “And
you stop laughing, Doctor Sophia. Because you are
going down in the next game.”
She poked her finger in her friend’s shoulder. And Sophic started rubbing that part, “Uh huh. See! You are hurting me.”
“Yeah. I know. Hurting you, my ass!” Marissa slapped. her shoulder playfully and got up from the couch.
“It’s quite late now. My body needs to hit the bed!” she raised her arms to stretch her body.
“And your soul needs a man!” Flint remarked taking Marissa by surprise whose arms dropped to her side.
“What!”
“Yes. Kids are getting bigger. Find yourself a man. Not to support you but to stand with you.” Marissa frowned and looked down at the floor. Sophie was sitting on the couch with a poker face.

“You never gave this advice to Sophie, it was not a complaint but just a casual remark.
“Because I know she has got few options. You need to choose someone who can see you better than anyone?
Marissa stood there not knowing
or head to her room.

“Go to sleep and think,” he also got up from his chair. He knew nothing about the hurt she faced today when Kate told her about the café,
Sophie knew about it, and she agreed with Shang Chi, Rafael would never be unfair to the rest of the team as Sophie still thought he was crazy about her friend.
They all looked at each other when the doorbell rang.
“A visitor at this hour?” Marissa said glancing up at the
wall clock.
“Who could it be?” Sophie asked more to herself and then her eyes narrowed into thin slits, “At this hour, the visitor is not here to meet us but it must be a SIE to visit you, Grandpa.”
Poor Flint placed his index finger on his chest, “Me?”
“She is right Flint. This must be one of your girlfriends

wanting to spend the night here. Now go and see the door.” Marissa yawned loudly, “And be careful not to make too much noise.”
Taking small steps, poor Flint went to the door while Sophie and Marissa exchanged a silent hi–five. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
“I’m going to sleep. He might need some privacy for this late night hook–up,” Marissa winked at Sophie who was nodding in agreement.
“My grandfather was almost sleeping in the middle of the game. I don’t know how he manages it during intimacy. He doesn’t even make noise.”
Marissa giggled and was going to her room when Flint came inside and there was someone trailing behind him.
“The visitor is for you, Marissa!” he announced and picked up the beer bottle from the small table placed near his rocking chair.
Marissa was surprised to find Kate standing there carrying a tote bag.
“K–Kate! What are you doing here?” initially Marissa was genuinely concerned. She had seen her employees turning un late at night to ask for shelter from their

abusive husbands,
“Is everything alright?” her eyes were gliding on Kate’s body, looking for any signs of violence.
“I’m good, Marissa, she was looking around observing the room with fascination, “so you live here. I’d love to see your commercial kitchen to
Marissa gave her a tightlipped smile and retorted, “Are you here to inspect my kitchen at this hour?*
Kate didn’t even hear a single word uttered by Marissa. Her eyes were inspecting the Lego castle placed on the kids‘ table in the corner.
“Who made this? How many kids live here?” her eyes were searching for God knows what, “Are you all bachelors, living together?”
She was now trying to remember when someone told
her in the office that Marissa had kids.
“Yes. Kind of” Marissa might be bearing with the woman because she was her colleague at MSin but Sophie didn’t have any such restriction.
“Miss. Why are you here? We need to get up early for our jobs”
Kate didn’t seem to mind the rude tone.
“So, kids also live here,” she smiled when found cartoon–printed stuff decorated in another corner. For some reason, Sophie was having this uncomfortable feeling due to her presence.
“I politely request you to leave,” she s directly, “and next time you visit us, do make a call. We usually don’t entertain anyone without any prior appointments,” Sophie finished it off with a fake smile and pointed
towards the door.
“Bye!”
Kate smirked and opened her tote bag to take out something. She moved to Marissa and handed over a file that looked a little dirt and dusty like it was buried
under mud.
“I am here to handover you this. This belongs to you.”
Instead of taking it Marissa just glanced at the file nonchalantly, “What is this?”
“This file now belongs to you. All your dues are clear regarding this place. You can not only live here but can also run your business without any worry.”

Marissa thought she heard wrong, “Wh…what…do you
mean…”
Kate’s lips curled into a smile and she placed the file
on the nearby table, “Amir was too
so he sent me. Congratulations.”

With that she turned on her heels to exit the house,
leaving behind three stunned individuals.
