“There’s nothing left to discuss.


    Tomorrow’s Sunday.


    I’m going back to school.


    You don’t need to worry about me,” she replied calmly, shaking her head.


    She bypassed Sonny and walked into the vi.


    Her slender figure seemed especially forlorn.


    Standing in the garden, Sonny watched her disappear into the Living room.


    He sighed, feeling a mix of helplessness and regret.


    He acknowledged to himself that he had indeed found a challenging partner, but today’s broken promise was his mistake.


    He owed her some form ofpensation.


    After a moment’s thought, he pulled out his phone and called Fletcher, a colleague assigned by Nathan.


    As soon as Fletcher answered, Sonny got straight to the point.


    “I need to handle some personal matters tomorrow, so I won’t be at the bureau.


    I’m passing a few important cases to you.


    Please keep a close eye on them and manage them…”


    “Yes, sir,” Fletcher responded promptly on the other end of the line.


    He then ventured a question.


    “But I’ve heard rumors about your engagement.


    Will you be spending time with your fiancée tomorrow?”


    With a frown creasing his brow, Sonny answered sternly, “It’s best you steer clear of my personal life.


    I’ll be over the day after tomorrow to check on things.


    If I find you’ve been negligent or caused any trouble, I won’t be as forgiving.


    ”


    “Yes, yes, you’re the deputy director, my boss.


    ”


    Had Fletcher made such ament right in front of him, Sonny would have kicked the other man.


    “Don’t think you can handle me the way you did Mekhi.


    I was trained by Nathan, and I adhere to his methods.

    “Okay, I understand.


    ”


    After hanging up, Sonny entered the vi and ascended the stairs.


    Luisa’s room door was ajar.


    As he passed by, he nced inside and noticed her packing clothes into suitcases near the wardrobe.


    “What are you doing?” Sonny inquired, his toneced with confusion.


    Focused on her task, Luisa didn’t look up as she answered, “I’m moving back to school tomorrow morning and am getting ready.


    ”


    “Why are you taking so many suitcases if you’re only going back for about a week? You’re even packing winter clothes.


    It looks like you n to clear out your wardrobe and never return.


    ”


    Luisa continued her packing, ignoring his questions.


    Sonny, choosing not to press further, started to rece her clothes in the wardrobe, arranging them with military precision.


    After his stint in the army, he was adept at organizing efficiently.


    While Luisa had been slow and methodical in her packing, it appeared he had neatly refolded and stored all the clothes back in the wardrobe.


    “Sonny, these are my clothes.


    How much I choose to take is my decision,” Luisa stated firmly.


    Resting against the wardrobe door, Sonny retorted yfully, “Considering I bought all these clothes, don’t you think I should have a say?”


    At a loss for words, Luisa paused her packing.
