Collins rubbed his nose and offered a sheepish grin. “Quite the unique welcgift. What's in there? Sand or
squirky trinket?”
Young girls had a penchant for creative stuff. Collins had lost count of how many such gifts he had received on
behalf of others.
Leo shot him a glance. “My sister wouldn't give something that’s just run-of-the-mill.”
“What is it, then?” Collins’ curiosity was piqued.
Recalling the serious expression on his sister's face that morning when she handed him the medicine, Leo didn’t
keep it a secret, “Medicine.”
“Medicine?” Collins’ face took on a thoughtful expression. “What kind of medicine?”

“It’s called Vitality something pill. Supposed to detoxify and repair the body, something akin to a wellness
supplement, | guess,” Leo explained.
At that, Collins found the nrather exotic. “Sounds like an herbal remedy. Mind if | take a look?”
Leo handed over the small bottle.
Collins opened it and took a whiff. Indeed, there was a distinct herbal scent, rich yet with an underlying
freshness, nothing like th
overpowering herbal concoctions one might find at the drugstore.
“This medicine smells pretty good,” Collins remarked, pouring a pea-sized pill into his palm, “Have you tried it
yet?”
Leo shook his head with a wry smile. “In my current state, what difference does it make whether | take it or not?”
After all, his condition seemed like a foregone conclusion.
“You can’t think like that. Tell you what, I'll take this pill and later ask my buddy who's into alternative therapies
if it’s safe to use.”
Capping the bottle, Collins handed it back to Leo, then walked over to his desk. He pulled out a couple of tissues
to wrap the pill and stashed it in his drawer.
Looking up, Collins said in a teasing tone. “Your sister sure isn't like the other girls.” Who else would dare give
medicine as a gift? That was practically wishing someone to get sick.
Leo’s lips curled into a smile as he thought of his sister's sweet demeanor. “My sister is definitely one of a kind.”
Collins rolled his eyes, slightly annoyed by Leo's constant ‘my sister” talk. “You seemed pretty nonchalant when
she first cback. What's with the change of heart?”
But then again, Mirabella was truly a stunner. If she were to step into the showbiz, she could easily becthe
envy of female celebrities across the web.

The thought alone got Collins’ blood pumping, and he added with a smirk, “Maybe ask your sis it she’s interested
in joining us in the entertainment industry. With her looks...”
“My sister isn't interested,” Leo cut him off coldly, donned his mask, and strode out of the office. The sound of
the heavy door closing left Collins blinking in confusion. “What's with the mood?”
After leaving the company, Leo headed to his private villa to pack sessentials, then drove. back to the Davis
family estate. When he tried his key in the lock, he found, to his surprise, that it wouldn't turn. Puzzled, he rang
the doorbell and waited. No one came. He finally resorted to calling Delilah.
Delilah hadn't kept her phone on her, so the call went unanswered. Thus, Leo turned to dial his father.
The phone was swiftly picked up, and as Leo’s gaze settled on the security door, he asked, “Dad, why doesn’t
the old key work anymore? Did we change the locks?”
