This was the Last intersection. Wesley said nothing in response and pretty soon, the car pulled up in the underground parking Lot of their apartment complex.

After turning off the engine, he didn't seem to be in a hurry to get out of the car. Blair sat still too.

The fragrance of the lilies was filling the air of the car, reaching his nose. Perhaps that was what made him annoyed and threw him into action. Out of the blue, he grabbed the bouquet from her hands, opened the door, and got out. The next moment, he had angrily thrown it into a garbage can.

As he helped Blair get out of his vehicle, he reminded her in a cautious tone, "Since you haven't yet agreed to be his girlfriend, don't accept flowers from him again. It sends the wrong message.

“No, it's not like that. In fact, I didn't even know why Orion was giving me these flowers at first. When I said he didn't have to, he just told me that one of his friends overseas had sent these flowers to his girlfriend by air. For some unknown reason, there was always an extra bouquet of flowers in the bunch, and Orion told me that he was giving that extra bouquet to me..." Blair explained. That was the truth. Besides, it was only a bouquet of lilies, not roses. So Blair hadn't thought too much about it and had just accepted the flowers every time.

However, after receiving them every day for a whole week, Blair had finally realized that something was up; he had a purpose behind this an ulterior motive of some sorts. And then, he had confessed his love for her.

Wesley said nothing and just strode towards the elevator. But Blair could feel that he was oozing with anger. Was he unsatisfied with

Orion? She ran and hurriedly caught up to him.

“Wesley, if you don't want me to accept Orion's love, I won't accept his love. I haven't said anything to him till now."

She was expecting a response in affirmative. However, Wesley changed his mind all of a sudden. After pressing the up button, he turned around and told her in a calm voice, "No. If you like him, then you should go out with him. Sure he isn't strong enough to protect you all the time, but he's certainly wealthy enough to hire top-notch bodyguards for you. So, I guess he's more or less qualified to be your boyfriend."

One might have thought Wesley was venturing guesses based on the fact that Orion had a company. But the truth was, the night that Orion had called Blair to the pub, Wesley had conducted a thorough investigation on his background. The man hailed from a wealthy family abroad. Unlike several famous sons of rich families, he wasn't a playboy who would fool around with women. Instead, he had led a healthy and decent life.

“But didn't you just tell me... The more enthusiastically a boy pursues a girl, the more aggressively he will hurt her?" Blair questioned. She was confused. What did Wesley want? Obviously, he had said all that only because he didn't want her to date Orion. What criminal psychologist would study break-ups after all? So why did he change his opinion now?

“Then don't break up with him." Wesley proposed a simple solution as he walked into the elevator.

The response threw Blair into a virtual frenzy, since she was unable to understand what he was thinking.

It had been almost a whole week since he had come back to the apartment. She was really happy to see him here but right now, they were quarrelling once again

As soon as they entered the apartment and Blair threw a light-switch,

Wesley told her at once, “Listen. I came back because I needed to tell you something. I am going for a mission two days from now, and it's a long one. I won't be back for quite a while. If you need help, contact

Curtis. I remember giving you his number. Have you kept it?"

"Yes..."

Before she could say anything further, she was cut off.

"Good. Fix yourself something to eat. I need to leave right now." With that, he turned around and was almost through the door when...

"Wesley!" Blair called out.

He stopped and turned around to look at her. There was something strange about her voice this time.

“What kind of mission?" she asked. She was wondering why he had come back home just to tell her this. Generally, he never told her that he even had a mission, let alone coming back home just for that sole purpose. Was this different from the other missions he had gone on before? Was it a more dangerous one? Or was it going to take a longer time for him to fulfill this one? So many questions popped up in her mind at once that she didn't even know what to ask. There was an ominous feeling in her heart this time.

Wesley was silent for a minute, then he replied casually, “Just a common mission. Don't worry about it. Anything else?" He wasn't going to talk much about his mission Like usual.
