Meeting You Was Fate

Once you decided on who you will love, there was no turning back.

Leo was sitting on the bed, wearing a pair of black-and-gold-rimmed glasses and reading some documents intently. At the same time, Milla was beside him, watching a TV drama while browsing on her tablet. They ignored each other. There was a big doll between the middle of them, which acted as a separation line.

Milla wanted to sleep in another room, but Leo would not agree, so she bought a big doll that she used to separate the two of them when they slept.

Suddenly, Leo's phone rang. Taking a look at the caller ID, Leo stayed silent for a few seconds before he calmly answered the call.

"Leo..." Audrey murmured sweetly from the other end of the line, drunkenness evident in her voice.

"Are you drunk?" Leo squinted his eyes and showed no emotion on his handsome face.

Milla took a stealthy glance at Leo, thinking that it was a waste to have someone who was so handsome but did not smile.

God was really unfair. God opened a door and a window for Leo at the same time, but it did not seem to be so lucky for Milla. She felt like God had closed the door on her and arranged a heavily guarded window.

Though there was a doll between them, they were still close to each other. With sharp ears, Milla heard a female voice through Leo's phone. He was speaking with a woman.

When she heard Audrey's voice, Milla pursed her lips and sneered in her heart, 'Well, you seem to be worried about that woman being drunk. Which old lover might that woman be?'

"No, I'm not. Don't worry, I'm not drunk." Audrey smiled.
