CHAPTER 47: REPORTING TO THE OLD MAN HALE
“Where are we going sir?”Desmond, my chauffeur , asked.
“The ancestral mansion” I instructed and he drove out of the company parking lot into the busy street of the city heading to the ancestral mansion.
After driving for an hour and 30 minutes we were able to get to the side of the country where the Hale mansion is situated and the mansion still looks the same except for some redevelopment in some areas.
“Why do you even bother to come,”I heard the grumpy voice of my Grandpa but I didn’t bother saying anything.
“Good afternoon you asked for me” I say stiffly not beating around the bush and grandpa glares at me.
“You are not going to even suck up to your Grandpa” the old man’s wrinkles worsen while frowning his face.
I scoffed when I heard what my grandpa says knowing he knows well that we can’t get on each other’s good side again.
“Oh my God, it’s my eldest grandson,”old Mrs. s Hale’s voice rang through the sitting room.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
“Grandma you look prettier than before, “I say with an awkward smile and I saw my grandmother shake her head at my flattery.
“Hmmm flattering doesn’t suit you, leave that for Douglas” old Mrs. Hale says and she smiles.
“Since you are here, why don’t we have dinner? I already called the rest, “the old man said.
“No it’s fine I am not staying for dinner”Bradley replies coldly facing his Grandpa and Grandma Hale can sense the tension between them.
“Brad, I think you should stay for dinner. I am sure your Grandpa will like to eat with you”.
“He called me to discuss something about the group so, I don’t think I should be staying for dinner because I will be making the trip back to the city”.
He doesn’t have the intention of playing the good grandson so he doesn’t know why he had to bootlick.
“Since you are so keen on it then to my study room, “Grandpa Hale snorted and Bradley followed him.
“Why are you still hard on your Grandpa after all these years?”Grandma Hale mutters looking at the retreating back of the men and she sighs heavily.
“How did you intend to cover the losses that Hale distribution suffers?”Grandpa Hale asked after settling down on his chair, settling aside his walking stick.
“It’s really funny how I get called over for a little mistake but Jayden gets away with embezzling company funds, “I say coldly.
“You this brat!”Grandpa Hale yelled but calmed down when his heart ached.
“I don’t mean to sulk over your favoritism but I am just stating that you should be sometimes fair and also trust my capabilities and if that’s all you called me for I am going to take my leave now, “I say turning around.
“You should come to the mansion if your Grandma misses you”.
“If she misses me I can let her live at my place, that’s if you agree , “I say. I noticed my reply and left him speechless and I left his office without saying anything more.
“It’s like my sin against you can be redeemed,” Grandpa Hale says, sighing.
“Grandma I am leaving now,” Bradley says getting into the sitting room. He was shocked when he saw his parents.
“So, if I didn’t come here today I won’t get to see my son, “Bradley’s mother says in a wrong voice.
“I have been just busy with work mom” I defended myself and I greeted my father who didn’t care about what was going on.
“That’s why I say you should bring a girl home and give me grandchildren”Bradley’s mother started saying.
“I heard you mom and don’t worry about that I have to get going now since it’s getting late I won’t want to be caught up in traffic, “I say, giving my stunned mom a peck and also hugging my Grandma.
“What are you going to do with the hungry wolves you left not doing anything about”I heard my dad says and I was shocked that he follows me out
“I think it’s not yet time dad, “I say.
“Just know that I have your back,” my dad says patting my back and I felt happy even though we are not close. My dad knows when to step up for me.
*************************************
In a private room inside Felix’s bar, a young man could be seen waiting anxiously for the arrival of his guest but the guest is seen as not forthcoming.
“Don’t you think you should go now, boss, he has been waiting for an hour? “the man beside the black-dressed man.
“He should keep waiting, that’s his punishment for doubting his Messiah,” the black-dressed man says coldly, enjoying the show of the anxious waiting man.
“But if we were able to give the Hale distribution a shake I don’t think we would be able to penetrate Hale’s group defense”.
“I know that’s why I need an inside man and Jayden Hale is the perfect person for that so, I must not lose this toy, “the man says laughing wickedly.
“I must pay you back tenfold due to what you make me go through Bradley Hale” he mutters dangerously.
**********************************
Getting back home after the strenuous trip to the ancestral mansion since it was already dark I just decided to go home straight and get off work for the day.
“Welcome boss”Johnny greeted
“Where is Georgina,” I asked Johnny after getting out of the car.
“She has been in the house after she got back from the audition,”Johnny reported.
“Ok”.
I went inside the house but I don’t why it felt different from before because now my house feels welcoming and it feels like a home that you will want to come back to after a stressful day at work.
“Hubby, you are back” I heard Georgina say and I froze.
“Hubby, are you okay?” she asked when she saw that I was not saying anything and she walked toward me.
“Say it again, call me again, “I say anxiously after finding my voice.
“Huh you mean that then I will keep calling you hubby till you get used to it so, you don’t have to act like a child trying candy for the first time,” Georgina says smiling and her smile lit up the room and she looks so beautiful that I can’t fight the urge of placing my lips on hers.
“muff…”I cut her words placing my lips on hers and God her lips were so soft that I couldn’t but nibble on them but I think she got shocked because she didn’t respond and I decided to stop the kiss since it was not mutual.
“I am sorry I shouldn’t have…..” but I was interrupted by Georgina placing her lips on mine.
