My Sugar And Your Spice

"I thought I'm here to celebrate and relax, not to fight. What's going on?" The man who spoke was Josiah Sekke. He was older than Ashton and Leo, so he was more mature than them. His style was similar to Leo's but not as aloof. He was the only one in their group who had left his family and had been working abroad for a long time with good results.

Ashton angrily withdrew his fist and walked into the bar. Amelie sneered at Ashton, thinking that had Josiah not intervened, she would have punched Ashton. She was more than capable of handling a rich young man like Ashton who could only talk big and was useless at everything else.

"Amelie." Josiah didn't go after Ashton but instead greeted her politely. Although Amelie knew Josiah was Leo's friend, she had only met him once or twice during events at the Alston Residence. He never stayed for more than five minutes and always seemed very busy. So, she didn't have much interaction with Josiah and didn't know much about him.

"Mr. Sekke." Since Josiah took the initiative to greet her, Amelie responded politely.

"Can we talk?" Josiah asked unexpectedly. Amelie's eyes narrowed slightly in surprise as she didn't understand why Josiah would want to talk to her. The others quickly gave them space and went into the bar first. Subsequently, Josiah gestured toward a tree.

"It's too noisy here; can we talk outside?"

Although Amelie didn't know what he wanted to talk about, she followed him outside. Josiah stopped under the tree where there was a bench. He then took out a handkerchief and wiped the bench clean before gesturing for her to sit down. Amelie hesitated for a moment as she was not used to Leo's friends being overly polite to her. In the end, she remained standing.

"Mr. Sekke, just say what you want to say."

Josiah smiled and nodded. "Let me get straight to the point, Amelie. When I came back this time, all I heard about was you. Everyone said you've changed, and you really have changed a lot."
