Embrace Love's
CH 62'S. Shopping

Yoana stared at the photos of Leonard filling in her mobile album. The baby is growing and growing healthy. He frowned when he realized Leonard must need new clothes. Within months Leonard's body grew rapidly. And so is his weight. Joanna smiled as an idea came to her mind.

"Lina," called Yoan to Catalina who was sitting on the porch with a magazine.

"Uhhhh! You love to see that magazine" said Yoana.

Catalina laughed softly, then pointed to one of the pictures on the magazine sheet.

"Of course, because my brother is here. She looks so pretty." Catalina turned back to look at the image of Marylin who seemed to show off a wide cheerful smile.

"She looks happy, or is it acting? Or is he happy? No one knows" said Joanna.

"I think he's happy. His smile looks real."

Joanna snorted at Catalina's words. "You don't know if the actress has already acted, honey. No one knows if it is real or not. Your sister is not an actress, but her job demands that she show the desired expression."

Catalina just shrugged her shoulders hearing Yoan say.

"Have seen this. Now come with me. We're shopping. I'm tired of holidays like this we just spend at home."

"Shopping? What do you want to buy?" Catalina. Joanna has it all. What else does he want to buy?

"not for me. For Leon. You didn't realize? The boy grew up very fast. He needs new clothes, new shoes."

Catalina nodded her head.

"Come .. We go now. I'll call Vincent."

Joanna passed, went back into the mansion. Moments later the woman appears again with Vincent who can only shake his head. He called a few people to follow him. Joanna is very stubborn when she has a plan.

They left in one car. Two other cars followed not far behind them.

"Don't stay away from me, Yoan" Vincent said as they arrived. Not far from them, a car also arrived. An old man and woman were seen getting out of the car. They walked to the elevator and entered. The elevator door was about to close when Yoana and Catalina ran in, Vincent sprinted to sneak in before the elevator door closed. He saw his bodyguards before the elevator closed and moved to bring them upstairs.

No one realized that once in a while the eyes of the man in the elevator looked at the three people who had entered with him. His eyes were fixed for a long time on Vincent. Catalina was aware of the man's gaze, she was not surprised..The scar on Vincent's face made one inevitably wonder what had happened so that the scar was imprinted on Vincent's face.

On the sixth floor of the elevator door opened, the man reached out to the old woman next to him.

"Come on, Auntie," he asked, while guiding the woman out of the elevator.

Vincent frowned, he looked at the man's face intently as the man passed by. Nothing is strange. He didn't know that face at all. A second ago something intrigued him when the man took his aunt out.

The elevator doors closed again, Vincent immediately contacted his men. Mention the floor where Yoana will shop.

They were out on the seventh floor, Yoana and Catalina immediately wandered around with one shopping bag in each other's hands. Vincent chooses to follow Joanna and let Catalina pick herself behind some shelves. He scanned the surroundings and realized his people were already in their respective places. Pretending to be a mall visitor. For almost an hour, Yoana and Catalina's grocery bags were almost full.

Joanna handed Vincent her pouch and went to take another bag. Catalina chuckled at the flat face of Vincent staring at the little lady passing by with his hands still outstretched holding the full grocery bag.

"He loves you so much, Mr. Vincent," Catalina said with her head tilted and eyes staring softly.

Vincent looked at Catalina and raised an eyebrow. The girl laughed again.

"And don't tell me you don't love her. You love her so much. Very clearly visible. Vincent ... don't you think .. You should use this time to make each other happy, before everything is taken away and you run out of time."

Vincent was silent and did not respond. Catalina passed while shaking her head looking at Vincent who did not react. He stepped past one by one the clothes rack, away from where Vincent was standing while watching Joanna.

Catalina looked at the old woman who had entered the elevator with them when she had just arrived, the woman turned left and right in confusion. He approached Catalina and asked.

"Miss ... Have you seen my niece? Where's she? I wandered around and forgot about him. He must be confused looking for me."

Catalina thought about the man who was with this old woman in the elevator.

"What's? Oh. .. You're right, I didn't tell him. God, I'm so senile. I have to go down again." The woman turned around quickly then suddenly her father faltered and she was unsteady. Catalina quickly caught him.

"Come .. I'll take you" said Catalina.

"Oh, my goodness. Thank you, Miss. Sorry bothering you. I am useless. Always bothering my niece" said the old woman. They were just about to descend by the escalator stairs when a man stood behind Catalina. Catalina turned her head and realized it was one of Joanna's bodyguards.

They reached the sixth floor, the woman frowned and stopped walking.

"Ah, where is she ...."

Catalina came looking for the figure of the man who was with the old woman in the elevator.

"Oh, I can't stand it. Miss ... go, I can do it myself. I'm going to slow down. I'm going to the toilet first."

"What's wrong, I'll leave when you meet your niece. Hold my hand, I'll bother you again." Catalina reached out her hand and guided the old woman's steps towards the passageway. Joanna's bodyguards followed her a few steps behind.

"You're a good girl. I think that guy's your acquaintance? You're not bothered because he's following us" said the old woman.

Catalina laughed a little. "Yes, I know him, Auntie."

"just fine. Your boyfriend?" ask her again in a seductive tone.

"No. No, Auntie." Catalina laughed at the old woman's guess.

They arrived in front of the ladies' toilet. Yoana's bodyguards had to stop in front of the woman's toilet. Letting Catalina in with the old woman.

The woman took off the bag she was wearing. He washed his hands in the sink and checked his makeup in the mirror.

Catalina glanced at the rows of toilets lined up there. The old woman did not seem to intend to enter. Do you just want to look in the bathroom?

A few moments later, a man came in. Catalina's eyes widened because a man entered the women's toilet. He had just breathed a sigh of relief when he realized it was the old lady's niece.

"Sir ..." Catalina's speech came to a halt as the man immediately smothered her with a handkerchief. Catalina turned her back when she realized she had been drugged. Then his eyes closed tightly, his body was hollow and the man who drugged him immediately supported his body.

"You've been a long time!" said the old woman while pulling the wig she was wearing. Her hair was replaced by long blonde hair. He immediately wiped his facial makeup with a wet cotton swab that he took from inside the bag.

"How's the guy outside?" ask again.

"I've already cleaned up the bodyguard."

"You owe me" said the woman.

The man snorted. "I'll pay you if we can get out of here safely!" said the man was sniffed.

"Oh, it's only one more step Rodrigo!" The woman opened the toilet door, saw the situation outside and then signaled the man inside to follow her by carrying Catalina.

Unnoticed by the two, a pair of eyes lurked the entire incident in front of the toilet behind a concrete pillar. After seeing the two disappear into the elevator with Miss Catalina who had fainted, he immediately picked up his cell phone and contacted the person who had sent him there. Someone who sent him to scout Miss Catalina and then arrested her for exchange. But they seem to have been preceded by someone else.
