My Only Love: The Targeted Heiress

Chapter 19 - Best Friends



Vincent and Felicia spent their time chatting there until it was already dark. After escorting the girl home, Vincent walked to his house, located only a few blocks from his best friend\'s house.

Vincent and Felicia have known each other since they were five years old. They go to the same school until college. Miraculously they were always placed in the same class. Maybe because they are both outstanding students in their school, they always entered the excellent category.

Only when they were in college, they had different classes because the majors they took were different. Despite their different majors, they still see each other whenever they have free time.

Vincent and Felicia got their nicknames from each other.

Felicia gave him the nickname the black hedgehog because every time Vincent woke up in the morning, his hair would stand up like the thorns of a hedgehog. What\'s more, his jet black hair color was just like a black hedgehog on the defensive.

Meanwhile, Felicia\'s character was very tomboyish and always said what was on her mind. She was not afraid of anything or anyone even though a big mafia guy confronted her.

Felicia learned taekwondo from her father. That\'s why not many men dare to approach her.

Every time a man approached her, Felicia would look at him with a probing gaze. All men feel intimidated and dare not advance on her, earning her a nickname of \'tigress\' from Vincent.

\'Another case with my ideal man. I don\'t want him to hate me,\'

Ideal man? Vincent gave a knowing smile without her knowledge as he genuinely prayed for the girl\'s happiness.

Benjamin Paxton\'s biological mother was his mother\'s sister, which means he and Benjamin were cousins by blood. Benjamin Paxton is five years above them and is very good at managing hotels.

A hotel that appears to be bankrupt could bounce back in no time if he managed it. The man\'s hand was like a golden hand. No matter how gloomy the future looked, whatever hotel the man worked on would come in glory result.

The fact that Benjamin was not yet to married makes single women from conglomerates want to make this man their husbands. One of them was his best friend, Felicia Bernz.

Vincent felt confident that both had the same feelings, but why didn\'t his cousin come forward immediately? What made the man so doubtful? What problems could make his cousin sacrifice his feelings?

Once again, Vincent sighed heavily. Even though he wanted to be the cupid of love between them, he still cringed at being obliged to distract the new secretary from his cousin.

He had absolutely no idea who that young girl was or what character she was. He wasn\'t very good at talking to women at all.

Vincent was still thinking about this and so deep in thought. Even when he entered his room, he was completely unaware of the presence of someone waiting for him.

He walked aside to find a familiar light switch. As soon as the light came on, he looked back to close the door to his room. But what he saw was nothing he could imagine.

All of a sudden, a woman in a long white dress with black hair covering her whole face showed up right in front of his nose, making him jumped in surprise and backed away while screaming reflexively.

The woman pushed her hair back and burst out laughing.

"SISTER! It\'s not funny at all!" his heart was still pounding from the shock, and get irritated when he noticed his mischief sister would not stop laughing soon.

"It\'s your punishment. Why didn\'t you tell us that you come home today?"

"Tsk. It must be the tigress who told you. Wait, you stay overnight here?" Vincent asked, realizing that his sister was wearing her nightgown.

"That\'s right. Bryant is working late today, so we\'ll stay here tonight."

"Abi?"

"She was sleeping in my room. Other than your meeting with Felicia, where did you go?"

"Nowhere. Just visit some random gallery."

"You\'re lucky, mom, already asleep. Otherwise, she\'d be nagging all day because you hid your return."

Vincent nodded in agreement in response to Vanessa\'s comment.

"By the way, do you need my help on Saturday?"

"What kind of help?"

"I know you are the most anti-relationship with a girl. I can accompany you."

"And make dad force me back to run his business? No. I\'ll do it myself. Besides, I\'ve made a good plan with Felis. So I guess I\'ll be fine."

"Ah, you mean the young secretary, huh?"

Vincent sighed. If Felicia had told her everything, why did his sister bother him with questions?

"Yeah, something like that," he replied, taking the books from his rucksack and tidying them on the table. "Do you know anything about the secretary? What is she like?"

"No. I\'ve never met her. I heard Benjie had a new assistant a week ago, but I never thought it was a girl."

"Oo" was the only response. "Sister, until when are you here? I want to change my clothes and take a shower. Ouch!" Once again, he received a hit from his sister.

"Good night, thousand reasons, brother," Vanessa replied with a mischievous grin before getting out of his room.

Vincent just shook his head while watching his sister\'s walking out of the room.

All the women he loved overwhelmed him, and he couldn\'t do anything about it.

When about to go to the bathroom, his eyes caught a photo on his desk.

The photo was taken when he graduated at the same time as Felicia.

\'Have you never had feelings for her? The least bit?\'

Vincent smiled, remembering the questions asked by both his friends and family.

It would be a lie if he said no to their questions. Because of that, he never answered them directly and changed the topic of their conversation.

That\'s right. Vincent once had feelings for the tigress, but he never confessed his feelings. He knew Felicia was not the person he wanted to marry.

That\'s why he never crossed the line of their friendship. He was the youngest child in his family and was always treated like a child. He wanted to have a younger sibling and experience what it was like to be a big brother. He wondered if everyone\'s treatment would change too.

Well, he knew he couldn\'t possibly ask his mother for a younger brother; otherwise, his head would be minced by her. Because of that, he treated Felicia like a sister.. He became a doting brother, likes to yield to every request of the girl, and of course, will always be there whenever the girl needed him.
