From Heartbreak to Happily Ever After Novel

Erica’s voice was loud. Randy scratched his head, opened the door, and grumbled, “Who’s shouting at the door early in the morning? Don’t you let people sleep?”

Seeing Erica outside, he thought he was mistaken. He closed the door and reopened it before confirming what he saw. He stammered, “What brings you here?”

Erica pinched Randy’s ear and said, “Is this how you teach Marion how to pursue a girl? You know what? If you screw things up, I’ll teach you a hard lesson.”

“Randy, what is going on, exactly?” Debra chimed in.

She leaned against the wall and looked at him with her arms crossed.

Following a glance at Erica and Debra, he swallowed nervously.

These two ladies made such a big fuss early in the morning, which made Randy feel helpless.

He quickly led Debra and Erica into his apartment. The decor was new, indicating that he had moved in only recently.

“Have a seat!” Randy gestured politely for them to sit on the sofa.

The dignified CEO of the Osborne Corporation was now acting like a lackey.

Erica felt regret for impulsively revealing where Randy lived.

Randy sat opposite Debra, cleared his throat, and said, “About this matter, well, my house was far from Arcane Academy. For convenience, when Marion bought an apartment for you, he suggested I buy one here too.”

Debra raised an eyebrow, not buying Randy’s explanation. “Then why didn’t you tell me?”

“I didn’t think it was worth mentioning.” he replied, winking at Erica.

Erica caught on and began siding with Randy, addressing Debra, “Yeah, you know, Randy is lazy. He can’t handle waking up early and coming home late. This has nothing to do with Marion.”

Randy covered his eyes in embarrassment

Now Erica had made things worse.

“Did Marion send you here to watch me?”

“No, it can’t be. Marion would never do such a thing. He was just worried about your safety living here alone, so he let Randy stay here to enjoy the convenience and take care of you.”

Erica spilled everything, and Randy was frustrated. “Erica, can you stop talking?”

A glare from Erica silenced him.

“Alright, let’s just pretend nothing happened, okay?”

Debra didn’t want to make things difficult for them.

Erica nodded vigorously, and Randy beamed happily.

Back in her room, Debra looked at the box of durians, hesitated, and started to text Marion. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Debra: [Thank you for the durians. I really like them. Just don’t send them again.]

Some things didn’t need to be made so clear. With his Intelligence, Marion should be able to comprehend her meaning.
