"She won't admit she loves him but prefers staring at his photos, curious of what he's doing, always worried if he had eaten or not" Lila said with sarcasm in her voice as she brought in the food placing it on the table.
"I wasn't looking at any photos, just checking out_" Maria was saying but Lila interrupted her
"Check out the stock market about his company. Why if I may ask? Come on ma'am admit it already, you're in love with my Mr handsome" Lila said dreamily but Maria hit her on the arm
"Ouch, that hurts ma'am!" She cried out
"He's still my husband so stop fantasizing about him" Maria glared at her
"Ha, interesting you've indirectly claimed he's yours hmm, yours he is and yours he will always be" Lila said dramatically moving her hands but Maria opened her mouth but no words came out
"You're such an headache and could you do me the favor taking off this Pink thing on you, you look childish in it" Maria stated pointing at the pink crop top and flat shoes.
"It's a girly thing, not childish ma'am" Lila defended.
"Your friendship is giving me headache" said Maria as she focused on her food but Lila chuckles instead, for some time now had been able to get her boss to smile and also talk, at first when she retired from the James mansion and started working for her directly it wasn't easy, seemed that she was working with Edward James the second but with all the training and medications her dreams are gone.
Who would have thought that behind those contagious smile was a deep abyss hole filled with pain and sorrow.

"There's a little bit of obstruction boss" another said
"WHAT!" the head inquired
" There are LASERS"
" The old nine tailed fox always lives to it's name; bring the helicopter!". He commanded.
" Protect yourself not me, am old and you still have your life's to leave; don't take the fall for me as you all know I don't like owing depts. But to secure what we've built over these two decades we got to fight, not for ourselves but for the defenseless people and our families round the globe. It's now or never! ONE FOR ALL, ALL FOR ONE! NO RETREAT NO SURRENDER!" the Monk master told his warriors, who were about a thousand plus. Some of them are displaced boys and girls during the war between the South Mountain habitants and the Western Clan; which was caused by territorial dispute.
If the Monks hadn't intervened at the time they did, the South Mountain would have been a thing of the past, as there won't be a soul left.
"Master three armed crafts are heading south" someone informed the Monk master.
"Prepare the counterpart! Go secure the perimeters" the Monk master instructed.
In few minutes four warships where hovering above the monastery; it was more of the military warships.
