Altair and Vega and JM were still busy chatting and laughing. When Marion returned, they immediately welcomed her.
"Gosh ... it's already 11 pm. You have to go back to your hotel and rest. Tomorrow you will be busy," she said. "Do you want me to call you a taxi?"
"It's okay, Auntie. I don't want to bother you. We will order a taxi through the receptionist," Altair said.
"All right, then. When you have free time tomorrow, come here. I will take you to dinner at my favorite restaurant."
"Thank you, Auntie Marion. We will let you know via Jean-Marie," answered Altair.
"Very nice."
Because it was close to midnight, the two teenagers decided to go back to their own hotel.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at the lobby of the Amarylis Hotel and immediately headed to their room. Before going to sleep, they told Alaric and Nicolae that they had met Marion and Jean-Marie.
"Wow ... it looks like you guys are having fun, huh," commented Nicolae, who was in Grosetto. "I will arrive in Paris tomorrow afternoon. We can have dinner with Marion and Jean-Marie. It will be very pleasant."
"Wow ... sounds fun! We will wait for Daddy to come," Vega said enthusiastically.
Actually, Altair and Vega had been to Paris quite often. Since they were little, both of them had been used to traveling the world with their parents. Not only because their father and mother had houses in many countries, but in the past, they were often taken by Nicolae for adventures when he was still in a relationship with Aleksis.
At that time, Alaric and Aleksis were separated for ten years, and each did not know that the other was still alive. Nicolae often brought Aleksis and her two children to entertain them, and he trained the twins to become independent.
They had explored the Caribbean, Africa, Mongolia, and even saw the aurora twice. Once in Iceland, and once in Norway. They were quite familiar with various important cities in the world.
However, the twins were always acting enthusiastically and looked in awe when they saw Paris iconic places. Their first day was spent visiting the Eiffel Tower. The students were so excited to take pictures together. They took selfies with various poses and shared their experiences on social media.
Actually, Tatiana was eager to share her experience of visiting the Eiffel Tower via Virconnect to her followers who were willing to pay. Unfortunately, Mr. Rhieu did not allow it because he thought Tatiana would not focus on his explanation, and their objective for having this study trip would not be achieved.
"You can sell or share your Virconnect experience with your followers in your free hours, okay. Not during our study time," Mr. Rhieu said when he told Tatiana not to share her experience in front of the Eiffel Tower via Virconnect. "You can come back here later and do as you like."
Tatiana could only frown, but she could not protest. Mr. Rhieu was right. She then approached Vega, who pretended to take lots of photos of the Eiffel Tower so as not to make her friends suspicious.
"Vega, let's come back here again later today. I want to share the experience of traveling to the Eiffel Tower via Virconnect," she told the girl.
Vega raised one eyebrow when she heard Tatiana's words. "Tatia... you know that I don't like being in front of the camera. I can't help you."
From the start, Vega and Altair were made used to avoiding cameras by their overprotective parents. Their faces must not appear in any media on the internet because Alaric was very worried that his children would be recognized and become the target of bad people. He absolutely did not want to take risks.
"Uhm ... you don't have to come inside," Tatiana said quickly. "I still remember that you guys don't like being photographed."
"When do you need it?" Vega asked.
"I want it for dinner time. We can ask permission to eat dinner outside. We can all eat in the French restaurant on top of the Eiffel Tower. Many people are curious to see how the restaurant up there looks like," Tatiana answered enthusiastically.
"Wahh ... I can't go with you to dinner. My father will arrive in Paris this afternoon, and we promised to have dinner with Auntie Marion and Jean-Marie," Vega said in an apologetic voice.
"Ah .. your handsome father will come too ??" Tatiana's face suddenly glowed. "Will he follow you while in Paris ???"
Vega just laughed at seeing Tatiana's joyful expression. Her friend had never hidden her admiration for Nicolae. She always tried to look normal in front of Altair, but Vega knew her friend well and knew that Tatiana liked his brother.
However, Tatiana did not hide her admiration for Daddy Nic. Maybe she thought since Nicolae was an adult, he wouldn't think too much about his daughter's friend admiring him openly.
Vega replied, "That's right. Daddy happened to have some business in Paris, so he might as well wait for us here."
"Ahhh .. you are so lucky to have such a caring father," Tatiana said in an envious tone. "Very well. I will accept that you cannot join me in the Eiffel Tower today because of your handsome father."
"Well, tomorrow we can go for a walk together ... Tonight we already made a dinner appointment with several people," Vega said.
Tatiana finally nodded. She really had no choice.
