“I am glad to see you, Grandma. Where is grandpa?” He remarked, and made his way into the bedroom.
“It is nice to see you, dear. Grandpa is here.”
Now, Daniel walked up to his grandfather and greeted cheerfully before he announced, “I'm famished, Grandpa. Hurry.”
“It is okay. I'm famished too. Let's go,” Arthur responded before he lifted him up and put him down. Afterward, they walked downstairs to join the waiting team at the dinner table. Meanwhile, Louis had returned Dr. Quain's and his domestic staff member's calls. After the lunch, Mr. Phil and his family left while Louis set out to engage his father in a discussion, but he did not heed his explanation. Therefore, he decided to pass the night at the Native Home. At dinner, they had their dinner quietly and the parents returned to their room.
Now, the couple was happy with his presence, but gave him the cold shoulder just to teach him a lesson or two as a deterrent.
The Next Day
That morning, Louis woke up as usual and asked the janitor to prepare the breakfast while he prepared for work. When Nichole got down to ask the janitor to do that, she discovered that he was on it.
“The Young Master had told me what to do,” the janitor informed.
“It is all right,” she replied, and returned to the room and informed her husband, who laughed out loud and remarked, “Poor boy. He had learned his lesson the hard way.”
“You are right, Hubby. I think we have reprimanded him enough.”
“I don't think so. Until he opens up, his wound would not heal.”
“You are right. At least we would be certain that he would be safe if he returns to Sevenoaks today.”
“I am glad that you got my point.”
They got to the dinner table and met him seated and waiting for them.
“Good morning, father, and mom,” he greeted, but they gave him a cursory response and settled down to have their breakfast. After the breakfast, he walked out of the parlor to the car park without a word. Meanwhile, Arthur and his wife stood up too. He walked to the key hanging board to pick his car keys, but to his fear, he could not find any keys.
“What happened, where are the keys?” he asked. Now, Nichole looked at the board and marveled when she discovered that even her car key was not there.
“Have you asked the security?”
(Pim)
As Arthur was about to ask the security guard about the key, they heard the horn of his car. Then, they looked at each other and walked out and joined him in the car. Howbeit, they quietly took their seats in the back seat, and he drove off without asking questions. Meanwhile, he drove to the hospital and stopped at the vestibule and Nichole, who had suppressed her laughter, got off the car after her husband kissed her temple.
“Have a nice day, Wifey.”
“And you too.”
Meanwhile, Louis did not say a word to her, neither did she say any to him too. He drove off and headed to the office complex. When he drove to the Administrative Block, he parked at the vestibule and his father got off and walked to his office while he drove off to the car park.
'I will not be surprised if this boy returns to Sevenoaks with my car.' Arthur thought, and walked to his office. Then, he settled down and continued with the proposal of the security cameras that Dr. Abba requested for. After some minutes, he checked the CCTV and discovered that his car was parked in his parking lot.
“Where has he gone with my car keys?” He asked himself. Now, he was not thinking of ignoring him anymore – he had pushed him into speaking with him. Then, he picked his phone and tried to give him a call. Suddenly, his office door opened and his esteemed last born walked in and headed quickly to the mini conference table, turned on his system and began to work too.
(Mmmhhh) Arthur breathed freely. Soon, his door opened and Denise walked in joyously, and greeted his father hastily.
“Good morning, father. Where is Louis?”
Before his father could respond to his greeting, he spotted his brother on the mini conference table.
“Good to see you, big brother,” Louis greeted as he stood up.
“Wow! Louis, Good to see you. My secretary said you checked on me.”
“Yes. She said you were yet to arrive.”
“You are right. When did you leave Sevenoaks? You are so early.”
“I arrived yesterday.”
“That’s good. You are welcome.”
Now, Denise thought that he had understood his problem and was comfortable with the circumstances, so, he did not bother to ask why he did not check on him. Then, Louis continued, “Congratulations on your well-deserved honor as The Global Peace Ambassador.”
“Thank you,” Denise appreciated, and gave him a hug. Afterward, they chatted briefly on other issues, without touching on his wife. Then, he walked him to the door, got back to his father's office and resumed his work.
“Parental task is enormous,” Arthur mumbled.
Now, Louis was working as though he was in his office at a Sevenoaks, and the Chairman was at the headquarters. Subsequently, he sent the report of the proposed Oil Well to him. When his mail popped up on the Chairman’s system, he gave him a searching look, and muttered, “What kind of human being is this?”
While he was waiting for his father’s response, he called his secretary and gave him instructions on what to do, without minding whether the calls disturbed his father or not. As for his mail, the Chairman did not bother to waste his time on an issue that must be discussed face to face. He concentrated on his proposal. After two hours, he sent his proposal to Dr. Abba.
At 1pm, his father gathered his stuff to leave. When he noticed that, he gathered his stuff too. He got off the office and headed for the parking space, pulled out his car and drove to the vestibule. Then, he stopped in the front of the Chairman, he got in and his self-employed driver, who knew his itinerary just like him, drove to the hospital, stopped at the vestibule and began to wait.
