“Did he accept your apology ?” Clarissa asked.
“Yes” she nodded along with the reply she gave her.
“Boss isn’t the type that accepts an apology easily” she paused and turned to look at her again.
“What did you give him in return ?” She asked which made Daphne widened her eyes when she remembered the immediate kiss she had with him earlier.
“He didn’t ask anything in return,” Daphne said and ran off. Clarissa chuckled and stared at her back view.
“She gave him something in return” she thought and smiled as she walked away.

“Where are you running to ?” Mason asked and pulled back.
“Was just running from Rissa” she mumbled, breathing heavily.
“Rissa, who the hell is that ?” Mason asked.
“Clarissa I mean. I actually short it” she replied with a cute smile.
“Did she run after you to make your breath heavy to this extent ?” Mason asked, looking behind her.
“No! I’m just escaping a weird question she asked” she replied and took the opportunity to stare at Mason.
“He’s attractive” she thought but it was interrupted when he asked her a question.
“I want to visit my mom and younger sister. Will you like to tag along with me?” he asked, waiting for a response impatiently. Daphne thought for a while and heaved a sigh.

“Why ?” He asked with disappointment written on his face.
“I just want to take a rest” she replied with her lips pouted together.
“Okay. But promise to follow me on my next visit” he brought a condition.
“Hope it’s not next month because this month is ending” she asked worriedly.
“No. I’m not going next but I’m going the following month” he replied and she nodded with a smile.
“I’m following you then” she replied and ran off leaving him speechless again.
“When will you ask her out ?” Emmett asked, which made his thoughts interrupted.
“When the right time is around the corner. But for now I want to get closer to her and get to know more about her” she said, staring at Daphne’s back view that seems to be fading away.

“Stinky” Emmett replied back with a wink.
“I hate you” Mason screamed and ran his hand through his hair.
“I love you best buddy” Emmett winked and placed his hand on his shoulder.
“Get your f*cking hands off me” Mason scolded and ran off, of course, Emmett ran after him.

“Spoilt Kid” Mrs Ellison laughed and fell inside the pool. Addison and Ariel exchange stares and fall inside the pool seconds after Mrs Ellison went in.
“Seriously!” Mrs Ellison screamed and swam to the end of the pool.
