C69 I Am Just Your Younger Sister

As she approached, she smiled brightly. “Brothers.” Her voice was cheerful. “Are you waiting for me?”

She looked stunning today. A long red dress, matching high heels and a calm confidence that naturally drew attention wherever she went.

For a moment, I just watched her. We aren’t even that important, I thought. So why does she look this happy just seeing us?

I nodded slightly. Chris, however, said nothing. Instead, he immediately asked, “How did you do it? Tell us quickly. We’ve been waiting.”

I tried not to laugh. So this is what admitting looks like when you deny it. Alicia smiled calmly. “My father made a few calls.” That was all she said.

Neither Chris or I fully understood what that meant, but we nodded anyway. “Thank you,” I said quietly. Chris followed after a moment. “Yeah… thanks.”

Alicia immediately waved her hand. “Come on, brothers. Don’t thank me.” “I’m just your younger sister looking out for you.” Then she added casually, “And besides… I was involved in it too.”

We all walked into the company together. But something felt different this time. The atmosphere. The stares. The silence from people who had been gossiping just yesterday. Everything had changed overnight.
