New Life : A Second Chance

Chapter 767 - Memories

Lianne gingerly took out the album.

Mama had told her a few things when she had gone to wake her up.

She had a double life, like what one would see in the movies. She then gave her a keycard and told her the password, after telling her where to look.

It sounded so exciting!

This was one of the things that Lianne loved about her mother.

She wouldn't hide things from her - well, the important things anyway. Lianne didn't think her mother told her everything, but what she did tell, Lianne knew it was far more than what most mothers would reveal or share with their kids.

There were other files in there, but Lianne ignored them. Those were the basic framework and plans that her mother had laid out in order to reach the place where she is now : her revenge.

Although Mama said she could look at them if she wanted to, she wasn't interested.

She was more interested in this album that Mama had compiled about them over the years.

She spent the next hour or so, looking at the pictures.

Despite the fact that it obviously showed that their privacy had been invaded, she didn't mind nor did she feel it was so. Even the fact that it proved they had been under constant surveillance - made her feel warm, and sad, for her mother.

It was what kept her going, while they were separated.

Again, the thoughts of their impending separation hit Lianne, but she quickly suppressed it. For now, she was going to focus on learning more about her mother, and her new life here.

Maybe … get to know Mama's Elite Team even more.

That would certainly get her thoughts out of the dark mode.

She grinned, kept the album and went to look for Kay.

Back at Country M, Kyle's Elite Team had a sudden shiver run through all of them. They looked at each other, their eyes widening a bit.

What did that feeling portray?

Danger?

No … it wasn't the same … but ...

They started focusing on the job at hand more seriously. Whatever it was, it must be related to the mission Sir was on. They had to be extra careful.

The Team continued working, pushing aside that strange feeling to the back of their mind.

Kay looked at herself in the mirror, while turning left and right to make sure that her outfit was okay. She had been home for several days now, and it was time to get back to work.

She sighed, hoping that her brother was okay back at Country M. So far, there wasn't anything dangerous at the moment, for the exchange would be done in a few days time.

Kay decided on pants today. She was wearing dark, slim fitting trousers with a matching vest. Underneath, was a pure white collared blouse with 3/4 sleeve. There was a small ribbon, tied and flowing down from her neck like a short tie.

Her hair was let loose, its curls cascading down her back and shoulders, and she picked out black heels to compliment the outfit.

Kyle may not like high heels, but she was okay with it.

After all, no ballgown could be worn with sneakers now, right? So it was something that she had gotten used to and it wasn't really that bad. She did like the look that it gave, though Kyle often raised an eyebrow at some of the high heels she had.

Taking her handbag, Kay walked out and bumped into Lianne.

"Lianne?" Kay said in surprise, "Is something wrong?"

Lianne normally stayed in her room and only came out for mealtimes. Everyone basically left her alone and she was quite content to be a hermit in her room. Kyle had already explained her condition to their parents and the help, so they accommodated her on this.

Nobody insisted on her to go out and mix around. It was good enough that she was sociable during mealtimes.

Yet, now, she was actually out and walking about?

Kay couldn't help but think that there was something wrong.

"Nothing is wrong," Lianne said, assuring her.

Then, she looked a bit hesitant and Kay smiled, waiting for her to say the words that were on her mind. Kay hoped that her smile was encouraging, rather than frightening.

Lianne took a deep breath and asked, "Can I follow you to work?"

Kay's head jerked back slightly in surprise. Out of all the things that she thought Lianne would say, that was not among the list.

Before Kay could ask why, Lianne said, "I just want to see where Ma- I mean, where Kyle works."

She wrung her hands worriedly, "Would it be troublesome? If so, then it's okay. I .."

Kay put her hand on Lianne's shoulder, saying, "No, it's not a bother at all. As long as you don't think you'd be bored."

Lianne shook her head, "I won't."

Kay nodded, "Why don't you tell your brother where you're going? If he wants to, he can follow as well."

"Okay!" Lianne said and rushed towards Joseph's room.

"JOEY!!" she shouted as she knocked on his door.

Lianne knew that her brother was most likely playing a game with his headphones on, so would not be able to hear unless she shouted. Soon, the door was flung open.

"What?" Joseph asked, rubbing his eyes.

"I'm going to follow Kay to the office. Wanna follow?" Lianne asked him, her eyes sparkling.

"Office?" Joseph repeated dumbly, then looked towards Kay's room. When he saw her, his eyes widened.

He had always seen her in casual clothes, and even though he knew she was older, seeing her dressed up for work made the fact more real. He turned his head away quickly and gulped.

"Nah," he replied, "Be good, okay Lianne?"

Kay saw Joseph refusing and closing his door. She turned, hiding the sadness that flickered in her eyes.
