章 95: Weird princess

Morning

Collins and Laura's place

"Congratulations, too bad I couldn't make it to the party."

"Uh huh, you missed a lot, how I wish you where there." Collins chuckled.

"The party rocked hard, wasn't it?" Running his fingers through his hair, Grayson smiled, "Ryan is now a man."

"And a husband as well." Lifting his glass of wine up, Collins added, "Cheers to that."

Clicking his glass on his, Grayson took a sip from it. Taking a deep breath, he inquired, "Still annoyed I wasn't informed on time."

"Man, don't blame me for that. My daughter in-law planned it all." Collins crackled.

Raising his brows, Grayson inquired, "Anastasia did the wedding ceremony?"

"Not just the wedding ceremony, she made provisions for the supplies, meals, drinks, reception, venue, and everything." Collins stated.

"Wow, that's a lot." Grayson shockingly gasped.

"Oh yes, I took pictures of the ceremony." Taking his phone out of his pocket, he showed couple of elegant pictures to him.

Taking the phone from him, Grayson gasped, "Woah this is extravagant, how did she managed to do all of this alone? She should have at least told Ryan about her plans."

"When I scolded her for taking the responsibility alone, she said she had to do it in a surprising way because Ryan doesn't allows her to temper any of her money. He always want to be in charge of everything." He sighed.

"And Ryan never had a hint concerning this?" Looking at the phone, he started swiping over, "Anyway, it's luxurious just like people in our society would want an occasion to be–hang on a sec," Adjusting his glasses, he intently zoomed the photograph. "Who is this?"

"Let me have a look." Peeping through, Collins narrowed his eyes, "Oh that's Sebastian and his girlfriend Jin-joo." Leaning on his seat, he smiled, "Do you know the popular Korean rapper–"

"Empress Jee?" When he nodded his head, Grayson raised his brows and gasped, "Is she Sebastian's woman?"

"Yes Gray, though they recently started dating."

Holding back the tears which were almost escaping from his eyelids, Grayson looked at the picture, "My son is now a grownup man just like Ryan."

"You know, when you said it was ten years ago you two last spoke, was it truly ten years ago? Because I can't remember you keeping that from me as a secret." Collins remarked.

Slowly shaking his head, he cocked his head to one side on his rested elbow. "Collins, right now my head is uploaded with lots of mysterious stuffs I can't tell. I do remember that you had my permission during the handover of the company."

Sitting upright, he explained, "You know I couldn't see him in person let alone talking to him. For my position to still remain active and intact in the company, I had to ask you to do the handover on my behalf or else I would have been dead by now."

"Why are you talking about death?"

Helplessly shaking his head, he sighed, "With everything I did in the past, Sebastian is capable of gunning me down. Precisely speaking, I haven't talked with my son for over twenty years now. We haven't called, chat, talk, meet, nothing at all."

Running his hands through his face, he added, "If I had handed my position to Liam, I would have been doomed, in fact our company would have collapsed by now."

"So Sebastian is the reason why you don't attend family functions and the yearly gala?"

Massaging his head, he nodded, "How do you expect me to show up in an occasion where Sebastian would be present as well? Do you want me to die?"

"Now I understood Petra's points."

Lifting his head, he adjusted his seat to the table. Placing his elbows on the table, he widen his eyes and inquired, "You saw her? When? She–she has been avoiding me, infact she added my number to a blacklist box."

Taking a sip from his glass of juice, Collins shrugged his shoulders, "She was at the party yesterday."

"So what did she say?"

"She's furious. I didn't got the chance to prove anything because she didn't let me. Grayson, Petra is currently wild. I won't advise you to take a step towards her." He answered.

"But she–when she left the mansion I tried to reach her but–" Burying his head on the table, he sighed.

"Do something about this. Laura is helping too. I hope Petra listens to her as soon as possible and gives a feedback."

"Didn't she give you feedback for me?"

"Of course she did." He chuckled. "She said I should tell Mr Grayson Flynn that she would never forgive him and she hate him for everything he did to her and the kids. Simple!" He exclaimed.

Helplessly shaking his head, he sighed in dejection, "I guess I'll have to reap what I sowed."

章 96: Knowledge, innovation, investment and goal setting

Sebastian's place

Handing the list and huge cash to her, Petra instructed, "Jin-joo dropped this before leaving. Make sure Sebastian doesn't find out about this because she asked me to keep it a secret."

"Yes ma'am." Mrs Maggie lowered her head and answered.

"These are what she said, the list in your hand is the ingredients of groceries needed to be stuck in the storeroom."

"Excuse me ma'am, but we aren't out of stock yet." She politely reminded.

Tuckling a strand of hair behind her ear, she focused on her breakfast which Jin-joo prepared before leaving.

Pausing for a while, Petra remarked without looking at her, "Yes I know we ain't out of stock yet, but stock the storeroom until full as Jin-joo has instructed."

"Okay ma'am."

"Use the cash for the shopping." Looking at her, she added, "If by chance there's a left over cash, then take it."

Hopefully widening her eyes, Mrs Maggie pointed at herself, "For myself?"

Rolling her eyes, "Yes for yourself, that's only if there is a left over cash, got it?"

"Yes ma'am, thank you ma'am."

"My chauffeur will drop you off and bring you back." She stated before gulping her mug of hot tea.

"Okay ma'am,"

Just as Mrs Maggie left, Sebastian walked in. "Good morning mom." Pecking her cheeks from behind, he took out a seat and sat beside her.

"Good morning Seb, how was your night?"

"Fine thanks. Mom, did you see Jin? I woke up and she was gone." He inquired while pouring tea into an empty tea mug.

"Hmm, she left forty-five minutes ago. She said she had some work to do in the office." Pushing the tray of food to him, she added, "Come on, eat something. She made breakfast for us before leaving."

Letting out a chuckle, he pinched the bridge between his nose, "Typical korean woman."

"Ever since she started cooking in this mansion, I noticed you've stopped eating meals prepared by me or the chefs in the mansion." She complained.

Groaning, he sighed, "So sorry about that but those are bland foods and my taste buds doesn't like them anymore." He carefully sipped from his hot tea before looking at Petra whom was giving him a quizzical expression.

"Like seriously, do I make bland foods?" Placing her hand on her chest, she threw her head back and pretended to be a drama queen, "Oh no, my twenty-eight year old son just insulted my hard damn cooking skills."

"Mom, you're such a drama doll." He chuckled.

Taking a big bite from the sliced bread, Petra remarked with mouth full of food, "Uh huh, be thankful, sooner or later Hollywood will come looking for me."

"So what were you busy discussing with Mrs Maggie?" He inquired before taking a bite from the chicken sandwich.

"Improvement of duties. Why did you ask?" She raised her brows.

Shrugging his shoulders, he shook his head, "Nothing at all."

Pausing for a while, she inquired, "How's your knuckles?"

Looking at his knuckles, he answered, "Better than okay."

"Be careful next time, you don't play rough with your body parts. You would have ended up breaking your bones." She chided.

Taking the phone out of his pocket, he looked at the caller ID. Groaning in frustration, he answered, "What is it?"

"Whatcha doing dude?" Without waiting for his reply, Calvin smiled, "We're at Ryan's beach house busy chilling, come join us. And one more thing, bring Jin along."

"Calvin, am having breakfast right now, secondly, Jin is at the office." He sighed.

Widening his eyes, he snapped, "What? Oh you dumbass man, today is Sunday, who goes to work on Sunday. Better take Jin out from wherever you're hiding her."

Rolling his eyes, he massaged his head, "Why will I be hiding my woman for no good reason?"

"Are you serious, she's at work today?" Groaning in frustration, Calvin grinned, "Love hardworking women just like her and Nelly."

"Speaking of the weird princess were is she?" He inquired before gulping the mug of hot tea.

"Right here in my arms as usual." He grinned.

Glancing at his watch, he informed, "Okay, I'll see what I can do, am not too sure if she's going to come with me. But I'll just give a try."

"You're going to get her, right?" He beamed.

Getting fustrated of his best friend's awkward behaviors, Sebastian rolled his eyes, "Yes I'm going to get her Mr curious."

"Great, hurry up, it's gonna be a hot fun for the newly wedded couple and us too." Without waiting for him to say anything, Calvin hung up.

"Calvin called?" Petra curiously inquired with her brows up.

"Yup," Shoving the phone into his pocket, he stood up. Pecking the top of her head, "I gat to go now."

"Okay, see you later." She smiled.
