48 A FAVOR TO ASK.

Jeff decided to stare at his wife's face for a while to get his dose of vitamins. When he couldn't take it anymore, he went as close as he can, sat by the bed. Caresses his wife's face, kissed her red lips so light as to not wake her up. Lingered for a minute then got up and left. Leaving Ann sound sleep never knowing her husband that she's been yearning was just there,

When Jeff walk out of the Master Bedroom, Lea just finished cooking. " Are you going to stay for Lunch? Is Ann awake or still napping?" Asking nonchalantly like asking how the weather is?

"No! not staying, I have a lot on my plate right now, and No! Ann still resting, let her be." Jeff replied contemplating and about to say something but got interrupted by Lea.

"CEO Go, If you don't mind I have a favor to ask you?"

"Shoot!" Jeff was looking at her interestedly.

"Ann and I had been through thick and thin; we are more than just a friend to each other, were a sister. What I'm trying to say is... If you ever do anything to hurt her in any way. You better wish you never been born, I know your a very powerful and all, but it only takes one bullet to kill a person if you know what I mean?" Staring at Jeff straight face without batting an eye.

"Lea, you don't mind me calling you that right?" "Not at all!" ' Shoot, you can call me sweetheart for all I care' She thought while smirking.

"Rest assured that not in this life nor the next that I will make Ann cry. I will never hurt her intentionally or otherwise. The only time she will ever cry because of me if it ever happens. Is because I already left this world. But I will still wait for her in the afterlife to continue making her happy. Does my answer satisfy you?" Jeff replied seriously to Lea.

"Now is my turn to ask a favor of you, this is very important, and I need your cooperation on this matter to work. Will you help me? Please!" Put his hand together like his praying, saying please!

Lea was shocked. Jaw opened and speechless. ' This man, the rich, arrogant, handsome, whatever else you can think of a man. Is pleading to help him, acting like a child asking his mommy for a treat. Hahaha! It's nuts. She's going bonker just thinking about it.' " Sure! what do I get to loss."

"This is what I want you to do..." After giving Lea the instructions, he's about to leave when he remembered something. He turns around looking back at Lea and put his finger on his lips and "Shss!" sign " Don't let Ann knows I came" turned around and left.

As soon as Jeff left, Lea went to her room to take a nap as well.

Meantime, Ann finally walks up from her nap. Got up, went to take a shower to freshen herself up. While in taking a shower, she remembers she needed to call Jeff. " By now they should be done; it has been a while since he left.' Ann thought, went the dressing table, pick up her phone and speed dial #1 on the list. *ring ring ring* a voice recording picked up. Hmmm, ' Where could he be?'

Ann was not successful in contacting Jeff, so she went out of the room to ask Ronald. Unfortunately, there no Ronald around nor Lea. 'Now what?' Ann walked towards Lea room: *knock knock* "Are you here Lea?" Ann asks opening the door at the same time.

Lea was taking a nap and in deep slumber. She did not hear Ann knocking and was passed out.

" Lea.." Ann was shaking her legs. "Lea.. wake up! I need to talk to you." Ann said half whispering. She didn't want to startle Lea in the process. When Lea still didn't barge. "LEA! WAKE UP!" shaking her in the process.

"WHAT THE HECK! What! is the house on fire? What's going on? Ann's what is freaking wrong with you? The last person that did that to me still in the hospital you know?" Lea jokingly said.

"We need to talk; I need your advice, and also I think it's Time I tell you everything. Get Up! I'll wait for you in the kitchen; I'm starving." Ann walked out of the room ahead of Lea and went to the kitchen.

'Where are you, Jeff? I need you right now babe! Please! call me, please!' Ann praying on the way to the kitchen.

'Should I text him? Leave a message perhaps?' Ann took out her phone and started composing message [ S.O.S. WIFE BEING KIDNAP! COME TO THE RESCUE! ????????????????????????]
