Chapter 101 - Appearing From Out Of Nowhere

Renz and Grandma Elysa were already in the dining area waiting for Selene when she went downstairs. She just hoped that Gabriel would not be bored while staying in her room.

'I wonder where my cupid is, Eros. I haven't seen him since last night? Is he busy monitoring Samantha?' Selene thought to herself as she looked around searching for Eros. She didn't find him anywhere at the house.

"Selene, come here, my princess. Let's take our breakfast," Grandma Elysa called her as soon as she saw Selene.

Selene smiled at her, walking over to join them. Renz stood up immediately to pull a chair for her. Aww! What a gentleman?

Renz was also wearing his corporate suit today since he would go straight to the office after breakfast.

"Are you going to school today? We can go together. I will drop you. Then later in the afternoon, I can fetch you," Renz volunteered.

Selene and Renz would have to visit Samantha's shop this afternoon to try on the wedding dress and wedding suit as if they were having a dress rehearsal. 

Samantha would like to see if the dress and the suit would perfectly fit the two of them before she would do the finishing touches. She was almost done with the designs.

"Sure, Renz. Thank you for offering me a ride."

Renz pinched her nose after hearing her response. "What a silly girl?! Why are you thanking me for that? You don't have to."

Grandma Elysa just giggled seeing the interaction between the two. "Alright, let's eat so that the two of you would not be late today."

Selene looked upstairs, thinking about Gabriel. She wondered how she would bring his breakfast without being seen by Renz and Grandma Elysa.

Fortunately, Renz brought plenty of food, good for four people. They couldn't finish them with just the three of them. She would set aside food for Eros secretly.

Grandma Elysa asked Renz about the company while they were eating. It seemed that the Lockhart Enterprise and the Chou Empire's businesses were booming these days.

"I am very grateful for your help in managing the Lockhart Enterprise," Grandma Elysa expressed her gratitude to Renz.

"Don't worry, Selene will assist you soon," she added, looking at Selene tenderly.

Once Selene graduated, she would undergo training in managing the company. Renz would help her adjust until she became ready to take the higher position in the Lockhart Enterprise.

After getting enough experience and reaching the right age, Selene would take over the CEO position of Lockhart Enterprise. 

As of now, she was still 19 years old and the board of members was still hesitant to let her manage the company as the CEO.

Her father's trusted man was the one acting as CEO who was working closely with Renz. The Star Corp was the combination of the power of the Chou Empire and the Lockhart Enterprise.

"Grandma, I will do my best and perform well," Selene reassured her Grandma. 

She already had enough experience in managing the company. She successfully took the CEO position of the Lockhart Enterprise in her previous life. 

Her knowledge in her past life would be her advantage in this new lifetime. She could use that knowledge in making a good decision for the benefit of the company.

"I am also excited to finally work with Selene," Renz mumbled, smiling at her.

"When that happens, the two of you are already husband and wife by that time. Please help each other." Grandma Elysa hoped that Selene and Renz could rely on each other.

Selene felt a little bit uncomfortable when the words husband and wife were mentioned. She was still bothered by the incident in her previous life. 

She hoped the betrayal of the two people close to her heart would not happen again in this lifetime.

But little did she know, aside from the betrayal, there was another variable that she should worry about~ the existence of Gabriel in her life.

As time went by, she was becoming closer to Gabriel, Eros's other identity. The attraction between the two had started to build up.

How could she kiss a man aside from her fiancee? She was thinking that Gabriel was just a friend but unknowingly, she began to rely on him more often.

Selene remained silent when suddenly Grandma Elysa brought up the topic about their wedding preparation. 

"I already talked with the studio who will handle our photoshoot for our prenup. We are scheduled next week," Renz informed them. Then he turned to Selene.

"Where do you want to go for our photoshoot? Do you have a particular place in mind?" Renz consulted Selene.

Selene was rendered speechless for a moment. Renz was really hands-on when it came to their wedding preparation. Now, she became more guilty for what she had done behind his back.

'Is getting close to Gabriel a bad idea? Why do I suddenly feel guilty? I'm not cheating on Renz. Last night, it was just a mistake. It's just a one-time kiss. It will never happen again,' Selene thought to herself. 

After a while, Selene responded to Renz. She wanted to do their photoshoot at the beach.

"Can we do it in a beach resort? How about in Oceaniz City? What do you think, Renz?" Selene also asked Renz's opinion.

"Hmm. Sure. I like it. Let's go to the beach next week. Let's bring Grandma Elysa. The fresh environment is good for her health," Renz suggested.

"Oh, I would love that. I want to spend more time with the two of you," Grandma Elysa said cheerfully. She was looking forward to going to the beach with Selene and Renz.

"Can I join you? I also want to go to Oceaniz City!"

Selene's eyes widened in shock when she heard that familiar voice. 'Eh, damn! Why am I hearing his voice?'

Grandma Elysa and Renz averted their gaze only to see Eros standing at the back. Renz looked at the handsome silver-gray-haired man. He recognized him. He was the guy who was with Selene in the hospital.

"Are you… Gabriel, right?" Renz asked Eros.
