Upon reaching her room, Karol quickly gathers her belonging for a few days to stay over. With the extra time that was in her hand, she grabbed her laptop and begin working by reading documents related to her work.
An hour later, someone knocked on her door. Karol looked up from her laptop and said;
"Come in,"
"Baby girl, you ready?"
"Yes, mummy? Is it time yet?"
Asked Karol in puzzled as she closes her laptop, toss it by the side and grabs her phone looked at the time but halted.
"I still have 3 more hours to go mummy, jeez, you scare me"
William laugh out loud as he pushed the door open at the same time, Karol's phone chimes multiple times to indicate incoming messages.
"I see, Christian still bombard you with messages?"
"Yup, he still does that. Talking about bombarding with messages I overheard that your office is in frenzy due to their captain on vacation?"
"They should learn how to self-maintain themselves and don't always depend on your father for everything single thing," said Anna as she shakes her head while walking out of the house.
At the same time, like a good husband, William adds; "Yeah, they should be more vigilant and flexible" as he agreed with his wife.
"Anyway, mummy daddy I might be going back to Conchobar earlier than expected because I need to get my team going on expended our wings to Theodulf,"
As the trio walk over towards the mansion.
"But of course I want to settle our Filtrian deal first cause that place scream at my face to open up a branch there"
"Not a bad idea kiddo"
"Yea, not bad baby girl, you should go for it,"
"Yea grabs everything that you can while your opportunity is still there,"
The trio heads over to the living room but changes their route to the kitchen area as they smell mouth watery smell coming from the kitchen area.
Upon entering the kitchen, Karol greeted Pepper first; "Hi aunty.." while looking around at the food that was being carried towards the dining table.
"Hi Karol, William and Anna. Have seat guys"
"Let me help you," said Anna as she head over to the kitchen area while Karol too said the same thing; "Me too, let me help out," as she makes her way towards Pepper.
While reaching the kitchen area, Pepper asked; "Karol honey, can you help me go and call your uncle for lunch?" as she was busy scooping food out from the pot.
Karol stopped on her track; "Sure, but where is he?" as she dumbfounded standing in the middle of the kitchen area and the dining room.
"He's in the office room honey on the second floor"
Pepper smiles at Karol who quickly turn around, like a woman missing she power walk over to the second floor leaving them behind.
William who was standing beside Karol at that time quickly ask; "What about me? What should I do?" feeling like an alien standing there doing nothing.
"Can you call the rest to get their lunch? The pack members are in the backyard playing with Peter"
Upon reaching the office room the Karol knocked on the door three times before she open it then enter the room. What caught her like a deer caught in the headlight is because she looks at Leo seating at the chair burying his head in the mountain of papers instead of Peter.
In a shocked and loud voice, she asked; "Oh, My Lord! Is that you Leo?!" while Leo quickly looked up with a furrowed eyebrow that turns to a happy expression.
In a shocked voice, he asked; "Oh, My Goddess! Karol?!" back while slightly sniffing the air as he abruptly stands up from his chair.
In a happy tone, Karol smiled; "Yes, you dufus! It's me Karol" as she looks at him like he's dumb.
Leo who didn't know what to do, remain rooted in his place as he looked at Karol from head to toe while uttering; "It's been so long since I, no, we meet each other," in a happy tone.
"Of course, it's been like 7 years or so?"
Leo happy expression slightly changes to a soft yet longing one as he mutters; "I miss you," in a soft and loving tone while still standing behind his desk as if seeking her approval for him to walk over to her yet taking a whiff of her scent.
Karol who was looking at his nano change of attitude and tone smiled sweetly at him, then slightly tilted her head as she said; "You know you can hug me you slowpoke Leo," while giggling at Leo's uncertainty.
Without wasting any more time, Leo quickly walks over towards Karol as she runs over toward him and jumped on him while he swiftly hugs/carries her while he mutters; "Oh Goddess I miss you," without releasing their hug.
After a few minutes of hugging at their first reunion, Leo couldn't help but release her slightly then hug her back tightly slightly levitate her while taking a big sniff at Karol's neck making her shudder at the action.
Karol who was loving the reunion yet couldn't help but to utter; "I miss you too and I'm sorry for what I did," as Leo still hugging her but letting her down.
"Karol you know, we all understand and get what and why you did that on that day so don't say sorry. Let's forget about that shall we?"
Asked Leo as he slowly let go of their hugs while remain his loving expression as he still look at her. With a major blush creeping on her as she recalls her old immature self for being an ass, she quickly turns away trying to cover her blush.
With a low murmur; "Thank you and let's get some lunch I'm starving," she quickly walk away from Leo who was smiling like crazy at her cute action.
Karol and Leo walked side by side, hands in hands while catching up with each other making the other pack members look at them in a confused state.
Upon reaching the dining hall, Karol couldn't stop herself from happily announcing; "Guys, look who I found," cheerfully while holding their locked hand out for the others to see.
"Leo my boy, you're getting taller,"
"Not that much aunty just a few centimetres,"
Replied Leo politely while still refusing to let go of Karol's hand as they walk over towards them while standing right next to the dining table. Karol was busy eyeing the food as she swallow her saliva looking at the mouth-watering food.
"You go ahead and sit down while I grab some of the blueberry pie,"
Said Karol as she let go of Leo's hands and walk away before Leo could do anything. Leo then sits down at the head of the dining table while talking to Karol's parents catching up.
After securing her blueberry pie, she return to the dining hall with the excitement of wanting to eat it at the same time Leo quickly tell her; "Karol seat here," as he pointed at an empty chair that was vacant for her the exact Luna spot.
Karol then nonchalantly sit down, place her pie next to her while eyeing Peter who was looking at her pie as she shield them their lunch began. Everyone was having a blast talking and having fun catching up.
From the dining table to the living room lounging area their lunch ended but their talking session didn't not until it was past 4 and almost 5 pm then Karol notice.
"Shit, I'll be late for my flight," said Karol as she stands up from the sofa.
"Where are you going?"
"I got to go now, bye guys. We'll catch up again okay Leo. Mummy daddy can you send me to the airport?"
Without missing a beat, Leo volunteer himself as she said; "No worries I'll send you to the airport," while he stands up too.
Karol then dashes out from the mansion, head over to her house, grab her belongings and head over downstairs where Leo waited for her in his car.
By 6 pm Karol reaches the airport and the plane depart at the exact 6.30 pm heading towards Theodulf airport.
