Andy glanced up the dark skies and she climbed up to the ground. The weather is gloomy today and it's completely cold. Maybe he did a good job by chopping woods. There's also a chimney. He followed her and he tapped her butt.

"What's with the sky today?

" She asked and took her shoes.

"There's an upcoming typhoon and we are getting ready for it. Since we are in the Region V area, there's a tendency of heavy rain and wind. So, our caretakers are buying groceries for our lockdown.

"

He took his shoes and carried her back to the house. The four by four car that the caretaker is using is already parked outside. They helped them with groceries.

"Love, can you help me with the logs to take it inside?

" He asked.

"Sure.

" She said and she took a pair of gloves and put them. She started pilling it on the sack.

"Darling, don't put a lot of it in there.

"

"It's not that heavy.

" She said and took the forty kilos logs. Zachary shook his head and take it from her.

"I change my mind. Just go inside.

"

She stepped back and crossed her arms.

"Go inside.

" He demanded. He took it back inside.

Andy didn't obey and pile another to another sack and although the men didn't want her to help since she's too precious.

It didn't take long after they are done with it. Zach and the caretaker put a typhoon shield to the windows, so the glasses won't shatter. After they are done covering the whole house, they found their wives in the kitchen making a famishing soup.

It's also good for the cold weather.

"You need to take a bath.

" She told him.

"Before you catch a cold.

"

It was a long work all day and the typhoon seemed to be landing anytime close to the town where the typhoon will land. Zachary and Andromeda stayed on the sofa cuddled at each other while watching some horror movies.

Her phone started ringing and she reached it from the coffee table to check the caller. She answered it immediately.

"Uncle.

"

"So, I just checked the Eagle recently and they are doing great in the restaurant. Maybe because of the Chef that they recruited from my restaurant.

"

"Oh. That's good. It will be easy for us to pull them down.

" She checked her nails.

"How about the other spy?

"

"She's doing great as a crew. When are you going back? Agatha keeps nagging me.

"

"You can go home.

" She said.

"Let dad take it over.

"

"I can work from home, right?

"

"Yes. Let's just cool off a little. I think Adrian is way too busy with other business and checking other's bio-data.

"

"Hmm. Then I'll leave the office after I am done with a few works here. By the way, I just signed a few papers for renovations. I already checked the finances.

"

"Just email it to me. I'll check it later or maybe in a few days.

"

"Alright.

"

Dmitri hung up and she put her phone away. She checked the time and she turned to her husband who is asleep. They just forgot the dinner. Well, she still had a few minutes to make something. She slipped off from his embrace and cover the blanket over his chest.

She went to the kitchen and pulled out the ingredients for a homemade pizza. It was easy to do it since she already prepared the dough and put it in the freezer a while ago. She put it on the oven. She went back to the living room and snuggled back to him.

He wrapped his arms around him and kissed her shoulder.

"I'm horny, love.

" He murmured. She chuckled and let him do the work.

Ellen is surprised by the new crew that Fin sent. He's half Japanese and American and he's good looking and he got that great body build. He also knew how to cook, and she immediately hired him. Fin told her that he will also serve as her bodyguard while she's in the restaurant.

The weather seemed too gloomy and the man is serving well. Even the customers are gawking at him. He smiled at them politely and enough to charm them. Fin did well. Then, there will be a group of girls that will enter and even offered him their numbers many times.

"Zin.

" She called and he turned to her.

"Yes, ma'am?

"

"Just call me El.

" She said. She walked up to him.

"You are doing great and charming girls are more points.

" She said.

The door chimes and Moira entered the restaurant wearing her usual outfit. A shirt and jeans and then her leather boots. She waved at her and then she walked up to them and she scanned the guy from head to toe.

"You got a new man here,

" Moira smirked.

"This is Zin. Fin send him.

"

"Oh.

" She said and looked around.

"I see that you are at your usual self.

" Ellen crossed her arms.

"Well, Al is busy with other works, so I am finally free. I managed to escape from the bodyguards.

" She put her fake-eyeglasses on.

"Get ready. Let's go out to the mall. I feel so bored right now.

"

"Okay.

" Ellen nodded.

"Zin take care of the restaurant. I need to take out this bored woman before she started breaking things.

"

"Yes ma'am.

" Zin nodded.

Ellen walked upstairs and Moira looked at Zin and shook her head.

"Commander or Captain?

" She asked him.

"Excuse me?

" He asked a little confused.

"I am asking if you are either of the two.

" She said.

"From your looks and on how you serve well the customers even the angry customers that always come here to make a mess. What kind of charm are you wearing? Phoenix?

" She murmured. He heard her. He bowed his head to her.

"Enjoy your freedom before it lasts.

" She winked and Ellen came and grabbed her arm.

"What was that?

" Ellen asked her as they walked hand in hand out from the restaurant.

"I was just talking to the guy.

" She said.

"So, where are we going?

" She asked looked from left to right.

"You said that we are going shopping.

"

"Yeah.

" She nodded. They walked in the sidewalk to the nearest boutique or mall.

"I heard that you are staying at Grandpa's?

"

"Yup. I didn't think that my grandpa would have a slumber party with your granddad.

"

Moira laughed.

"They always talked about babies. Good for them. It's raining babies in this year.

"

"I also realize that,

" Ellen said.

"Steven is going to have a twin, the same with James. Big blessing to Mondragon.

"

"Hmm.

" Moira agreed. It was indeed such an irony that her cousins are having babies. Damn, she wondered about her. That stupid Alanis just ** her many times yesterday. And yesterday suppose to be her shot. She needed to wait for a month before she got a shot just to check if she's pregnant or not.

They entered a boutique and search for a dress or something that would interest them. Moira is tired of shopping but she's bored. She doesn't know where to put the daily allowance that Alanis gave to her. She usually donates her money to hospitals, schools, orphanages, and others. And after she got engaged to Alanis, it just doubles, and she doesn't care much about money now.

"You have lots of money and yet you are working your ass in your restaurants and arts,

" Moira said.

"You can just slack off and live a luxury life without doing anything or maybe adventure is great.

"

"I need to provide for us.

" Ellen started as she reached a negligee.

"I want your brother to resigned from his job and just stay with me.

"

"You want a grand wedding?

"

"Nah, I just want a simple one, but I want to have a grand wedding dress. I already have samples for the designs.

"

"Wow.

" Moira is always fascinated with Ellen's art. She usually sketches and designs her dresses and she sometimes made it herself or have it tailored.

"Can you make me one for my wedding? A negligee is fine or a wedding party dress. Al has his designer to make my gown for the wedding.

"

"Sure. Not a problem. I already have in mind. And negligee?

" She grinned and showed her the sexiest silk and lace negligee.

"I will make the most seductive one for you. I am sure that Alanis wouldn't take his eyes off you.

" She winked.

"Oh… now thinking of it. I am afraid that he'll rip it off.

"

"He's that wild?

" Ellen asked and they looked at each other and laughed.

After they bought some girl's stuff to seduce their man. They went to the bubble tea café and order some hazelnut matcha and sweets.

"I heard about what happened yesterday.

" Moira started. Ellen pressed her lips.

"Fin was there before I was. I owe him my life many times now.

"

"You don't have to owe him your life. Fin is Fin. He'll protect everyone important to him.

" Moira reached her hand.

"We are family, and nothing can break us apart.

"

"Thank you.

" Ellen felt safer with them. Moira is Andel's sister and it's a secret. But she's always there to protect her and comfort her. It's like a sister that she never had.
