"Leon"s right we"re off-topic." Anna huffed in anger. The main reason for them to talk right now is about that person. And yet, they both are in bad blood because of her brother"s ridiculous habit."Thanks, Leon." Usually, Aaron would not like it if someone eavesdrops or interrupted his conversation with his sister, but right now he is thankful that Leon did.
If he had not done it, he and his sister wouldn"t be able to finish the main topic of their conversation.
"You"re welcome." Being thanked by someone who almost has the same face as his boss, somehow made Leon feel so proud of himself. His boss never thanked him once and he feels so happy that Aaron did.
It"s like giving him the energy to try his best in everything.
"Anyways, as I was saying before." Anna started. "You already met that girl, and this is what she looks like." Anna took out her phone and showed her brother the picture that Leon got for her.
Aaron"s eyes lit up in shock and at the same time his blood boils in so much excitement. Now that he knows the face of the person who ruined his upcoming peaceful days, he can"t wait to make her regret going up against him.
With this, Aaron has another reason for wanting to uncover her secrets. "What else did you found out about her?" He asked.
"It"s all clean, like very clean. I know I"m good at finding dirt in people"s information, but I got this feeling that someone deleted this girl"s dirt on the system." Having said that, Leon still had not forgotten that there is a possibility that the girl"s information is just clean and that"s it.
However, Leon"s strong gut feeling that she"s not as innocent as she looks. There is a secret behind her and Leon wants to know what it is.
"Whether someone did erase her information or not, she"s hiding something." Just like Leon, Aaron also having that same feeling. "How we gonna deal with her, dear sister?"
"Honestly, I have no idea how to deal with it. But what I do know is that we should find out what kind of game is she playing at." Even after knowing what happened in her past life, Anna still had no idea what is that girl"s motive is.
Even back then and now, she isn"t able to do a thing. She can"t even avoid the moment of her brother and that girl meeting each other. "This is so frustrating." Anna inwardly said.
"What"s her name?" Even though he talked to the girl, Aaron has no idea what"s her name is and he did not even ask.
"Ilana, that"s her name." Anna still remembers the first time she met Ilana. At that time Ilana was overly nice that it made Anna felt uncomfortable, that is also the same time when she got the feeling that Ilana is hiding something.
"Dear sister, is it okay if I play around with her?" In Aaron"s mind, he"s thinking that if he pretended that he is not suspicious of Ilana and act a bit friendly towards her, it would make things more interesting.
"No." Without any hesitation Anna replied. Her goal in this life is to make sure her family is safe and things should not be the same as how it was in her past life. That means that she won"t let her brother get close to Ilana no matter what.
"No? Why?" Usually, his sister would say that he could whatever he wants as long as he is careful, but right now, she didn"t even think about it and have him an answer right away. He wonders what is going inside his sister"s mind. He wants to understand why his sister is like this.
"Because you"re not fit for that kind of job." Anna immediately made an excuse. She does not want her brother the real reason why she"s not letting him do whatever he wants this time. "I think Leon—"
Before Anna could even finish her words, Leon immediately interrupted her. "Wait! Why are you mentioning my name? Are you planning to get me involved in your plan? I mean I would love to, but moments ago, you just said that I should get some rest!" Just before they came here to see Aaron, Anna literally just said that he should take a rest and she will handle things from now on.
Truth to be told, Leon would love to help Anna in any way that he could possibly can, but he needs rest. After taking a rest from all the drama that has been going on lately, Leon will go back in action.
"Oh, yeah. I did say that to you." Anna scratched the back of her head and shot Leon with an apologetic smile. "If it"s not you, then Lucia and I will handle it."
Just two days ago, Lucia called her that she is getting bored. For quite some time, the organization has not yer given Lucia any mission. Since that was the case, Anna just decided to have Lucia help her with Ilana.
"Lucia? Why her?" Aaron asked with a frown.
"She said she"s bored, and getting her involved in this matter will help her get rid of that boredom of hers." In some ways, Anna is doing Lucia a favor and it"s a win-win for both of them. Lucia will have something to do, while Anna has someone to help her out.
"Right. And you really think that she"s going to be that useful to you?" Knowing that Lucia has a crush on his sister, Aaron can"t be too sure if Lucia will even help. He"s betting that Lucia will only focus all her attention on his sister. Just thinking about that is giving Aaron the bad vibes.
"Brother, are you always like that to Lucia? Do you really hate her that much?" Every time she mentions Lucia"s name in front of her brother, her brother always reminds her not to get close to Lucia. And if she has to, she has to have her brother at her side.
Anna has no clue why her brother is acting like that whenever it"s about Lucia, and it is slowly getting on her nerves.
Aaron sighed deeply. Up until now, he still can"t believe that his sister is this dense. How can she not notice it when it"s very clear to almost everyone they are close to? Sometimes, Aaron question himself on how did Kyle put up with his sister"s denseness.
"Anna, I don"t hate her. It"s just that she"s someone I don"t trust her to be with you alone." Aaron bluntly said to Anna.
"I don"t know what made you think that, but, brother, you have set whatever issue you have with Lucia aside because I really need her on this matter." Even if her brother disagrees with her now, Anna will still have Lucia on her side until everything is over. As long as Ilana is targeting her brother, then Anna will stop at nothing to bring her down and she will use whatever method is necessary for her brother"s sake.
"Okay," Leon spoke. "I don"t know what kind of person is this Lucia is, but if your sister trusts her, then you should do the same." From what he has been hearing, it seems like something is going that only Aaron knows about Lucia. Even if that is the case, it"s clear as day that Aaron does trust the person named Lucia.
"Fine." Two against one is not exactly on Aaron"s favor, so he has no other choice but to give up. "While you and Lucia do your thing, what am I supposed to do?" His sister knows that he"s the type of person who couldn"t sit still when there is a problem going on. At this moment, he"s expecting his sister to let him know what he should do to help her out with the problem.
"You know what you should do, brother, expose our dear uncle." A glint of seriousness flashed across Anna"s eyes. "It"s almost time for our uncle to face h.e.l.l."
It"s almost a week since her brother went on with his plan on training under their uncle James" supervision in the company. And within just a week, her brother got a hold of a few important information about their uncle James.
They both can"t wait to expose their uncle James" lies and schemes.

"Anna, what do you want?" Josh who has been in a bad mood since earlier is being disturbed by Anna. Ever since the truth of him having a girlfriend has been exposed, Nathalia has been attacking him with words that he"s a traitor.
Nathalia and Zen left because they have something to do and somehow, Josh is thankful for that because he needs to relieve himself from the stress Nathalia is giving him. But as much as he wants to relax, Anna suddenly decided to replace Nathalia and kept calling his name.
"As you know, your father, uncle Mike, has this tiny invention that I really want to borrow. But he wouldn"t let me borrow it." Anna stared at Josh with pleading eyes.
