"I...I just wanted to see you..." "There's no need!" Miles pointed directly at her phone, his voice stern, "Call Felicity right now and explain everything to her! Now!" Esther took a few steps back, her delicate face filled with fright, "Miles, please don't...you're scaring me..." "I said call her!" She stumbled and fell right in the company's lobby.
The onlookers wanted to gawk, but dared not with Mr. Lopez's unfolding; they quickly scurried off to avoid getting dragged into the fray.
Whether it was the fall that hurt or something else, Esther began to cry right there and then, "I just, just didn't want her to take you away from me! I've liked you for so many years...I don't want to break up with you!" "Isn't she your sister? Why, why did I see you two holding hands going into your house, and again coming out? You were even discussing wedding plans!" She cried, her eyes red and swollen, her wrist still bandaged from a recent cut, "It was supposed to be us getting married, I'm supposed to be your girlfriend, your bride!" She couldn't accept it! After years of longing and finally getting the chance to stand by his side, to claim the title of Miles's girlfriend. And then Felicity comes back from abroad, and everything changes!

Esther protested, struggling not to be escorted out, but Everett s interested in giving couldn't another look.

Before Everett could speak again, Abigail's call cthrough, "Bro, I can't find Felicity anywhere! I tried calling, but her phone's off, she's not replying to my Whatmessages or answering my calls! Maybe you should reach out to Aunt Karen and Jeffrey, they might know something." Right! Why hadn't he thought of that? Miles quickly called Jeffrey.
"Jeffrey, are you with Felicity?"
On the other end, Jeffrey responded with a few "hello?"s, then muttered as if talking to himself. This phone F signal's terrible, can't hear a thing, what did you say?" "Jeffrey, I'm looking for Felicity."
