I was surprised to see Leo fetching me at the airport. Dad talked to me privately about matters involving my real job, saying that he already knew my 'thing' that I didn't tell him. And later that day, I ended up being tugged along by Allen and Daven to their newly opened bar. There, I met the arrogant Dauis unexpectedly, and, as expected, he managed to piss and annoy me, ruining my already ruined day. The next day, I was told about my betrothal for the sake of merging. It was by my grandfather, to ensure the expansion of the company, at least that was what I understood it to be, rather than that writing on the piece of paper about 'friendship and promises'; that's a bullshit way of explaining one's misfortune in marriage. I tried to escape and ran away to a place that I thought was far
