Along the way both of them were quiet. The car they were using was a white sports car well it was kind of eyecatching so some people turn their heads to the car. Maybe not some people like a lot of people..
Catie knew that the car was worth millions since it's one of the latest models and because they have one too.. Considering how much money they lost because of her father who bought the car to impress people. Specially women. And eventhough they have one of these cars it was still a different feeling not only is she with Charles Luke Herondale in the same car but it was also in broad daylight.
Once they entered the gates of the mansion all of the maids and guards were surprised to see that their young mistress was with Charles Luke Herondale.
If it was Jonathan Lewis the third young master of the Lewis Enterprise it wouldn't be a surprise.. But this. This was a different one.
When they entered Luke went in first as a gentleman he made a way beside the door to let Catie in first. Since the maid already opened it for them.
Then instantly they saw George Austin Herondale sitting on the couch infront of Janice Walker and were drinking tea while discussing something.
Janice and George were currently talking about Catie who was not inside the house since yesterday afternoon. Also about Luke who spent the afternoon in his garden. And about both of their children's marriage.
Then the door of the house suddenly opened and the faces of Catie and Luke immereged.
"Oh what a surprise. To see both of you."George said as he observed the two of them.
"Indeed it is Father, Mrs. Walker" Luke bowed
"Mother, Mr. Herondale, It's a pleasure to see you" Catie Curtsied.
Sure they weren't from the 16th century but who says mellenials cannot curtsy or bow in the presence of their parents?
"Mr. Herondale, Catie, dear where were you last night? I was worried sick! Are you okay?" Janice said corncerned about her daughter as she put the teacup down and went to her daughter.
Before even Catie could answer Luke answered for her.
"Mrs. Walker, I saw Catie in my garden yesterday afternoon and she collapsed, I brought her to my mansion for my maids to take care of her until she wakes up."Luke answered calmly. That was a Blatant lie!
Catie looked at Luke and thought: This guy, how could he tell that to mom! Now I have to bear moms teases and questions!
"Catie collapsed? How come? Are you okay dear? Is something wrong with you? Did somethong happen? Were you bruised?" Janice asked her daughter series of questions.
"I'm okay mother, nothing's wrong. Mr. Herondale's maids took good care of me." She smiled ate her mother. Luke on the other side was fascinated by how beautiful she is when she smiles. Upon remembering her words *Cough, cough, cough*...
"Ah, I see. So you already know each other?" George asked
Wasn't it obvious? Of course they knew each other! I mean spending a night at this man's mansion how can they not know each other!
"Ah yes Mr. Herondale. May I ask Why?"
Catie answered. Both Mrs. Walker and Mr. Herondale looked at each other while Luke just stood there calmly. Mrs. Walker spoke first and answered the question "Ah, you see dear, as you know our company's situation is not that great. So-" but Catie interrupted "So you arranged a marraige for me. Is that correct Mother?" all of them had stunned faces plastered on their faces. They didn't expect that she'd find out that quick. Although it was quite obvious but for what they say about this girl this girl is clearly not stupid. But they came back to their senses and Mrs. Walker answered "Actually dear we have arranged this marraige since you were both young. As we can see you've already met so I see no problem with that."
"So now were all here it's better to discuss about the wedding today. Shall we?" Mr. Herondale said. And called for his wife to come. Naiomi Herondale was busy in the office but she will surely come.
Both Luke and Catie answered "Okay"
After a few minutes, Naiomi came into the masion and she greeted everyone present. After an hour they set the date and the Venue of the wedding. Then after a few more hours everything was set. And George, Naiomi and Luke left after bidding their farewell.
