After much congratulations from friends, potential new clienteles and family as well, tonica stood in front of the refreshment area, fetching herself a frendi g of wine. As she sipped on it, surveying her environment with an absent mind, she thought back to the little accomplishment she had just made.
She smiled, once again proud of herself.
That smile however, vanished at the sound of Melvin's voice.
"I thought I had you all figured out," He stood beside her, stuffing both hands into his pocket and releasing a heavy sigh through his lips. "But you're more of a sly minx than I thought." Leonica shot a glare his way. "A mix? That's one way to address your sister." Melvin shrugged, a smile on his lips that didn't quite reach the light in his eyes. "You have to admit, it's not entirely wrong."

Melvin shook his head. "Not one bit. I'm just..." He paused, staring off in the crowded distance as he tried to get the right words to use. And then it clicked." Jealous." Leonica a glanced at him, arching her brows in the process in a questioning manner, as if he had just grown two heads. "Jealous?" she repeated.
"Yeah. When we were younger, I had so much potential. The Ace of the Romero family; they called me, but now, I can't even get one damn thing done right." He turned to face her and a bittersweet smile bloomed on his lips. "You've surpassed me, Leonica and for that, I can't help but he jealous."
"Melvin," Leonica stated, her expression softening. "There's nothing to be jealous about. Have you ever thought that perhaps you thought that have your field to shine in? Remember bow when we were younger, you always hated taking all those succession classes and would dragalong just so you had someone to make fun of the teacher with?" This made Melvin smile a genuine smile. "Yeah, I remember that. You were such a spoilsport" *Sorry, He chuckded, "What's your point?"
"I enjoyed those classes, but you didn't. To sum it up, my point is, you have your thing, and I have mine. So, instead of trying to compete with me, why don't you work hard and make your own way! Silence filled the air after Leonica's little advice, but it was quicidy broken when Melvin released a heavy sigh. "I can't believe I'm getting advice from a person who's scared of chickens." Leonica's expression immediately shitted, and she elbowed him in the side.
"Ouch." "Serves you right. What a horrible person." "Alright, alright, I'm sorry." He laughed, holding his hand up in defense and in seconds, she was back to her serious expression that Melvin was getting used to seeing.
