After awhile the dinner table was set and they all sat down as Bany and a few maids brought the foods to the table.
"No way!!,Thai coconut shrimp curry,Creamy lemon chicken, wonton soup and this beautiful looking dish I don't know. what am i going to do when this deliciously decorated table is placed here ,I'm so emotional" April said as she dramatically wiped a fake tear.
Bany laughed as she placed a steaming hot bowl of mushroom soup before Brie."Have it while it's hot, it should help you relax ".
"Thank you " Brie replied with a smile as she took up a spoonful of soup and drank it.
"it's really nice and relaxing "Brie complemented Bany who replied with a smile.
"I want to keep eating forever "April said admist a mouthful of food and immediately started coughing as she choked on her food.
"Careful dear" Bany said and gave her a glass of water.
Meanwhile at the other end of the table, Lucas quietly ate as he watched Brie eating,he noticed how her lips parted slightly to take in food and how her throat moved softly when she swallowed, her small smile of satisfaction and the movement of her tongue over her lips,he noticed every small movement of hers which was insane, but being able to watch her this way made him happy. Suddenly he felt his phone ring to a caller saved as 'black'.
He excused himself and left the dining room, a few minutes later he entered the room and went to speak with Bany.
"Have them settled in the guest rooms of the East Wing,I have something to do in town,I'll be back" he said and left not without sparing Brie a look.
"I'll be right back" Bany said and left the dining room.
"What is the East Wing " April asked a maid who was clearing the dishes.
"it is Mr McCain's quarters and he never allowed any visitors stay in the East Wing of the house, so we'd normally have the rooms of the West Wing cleaned whenever there were guests" The maid elaborated.
"Wow! that's amazing, so does it make us really important guests?" April exclaimed feeling extremely happy about the idea of them being treated as special guests.
"Wouldn't we be disturbing Mr McCain " Brie said. truly she was happy about being treated specially,but Mr McCain had a reason for not allowing anyone to stay in the East Wing and wouldn't they be intruding his privacy.
As if reading her thoughts,the maid shook her head in disagreement "you're overthinking it. The East Wing is very large, it consists of three master bedrooms all leading out to a veranda with a breathtaking view of the garden and the ocean,so don't worry you pretty much won't see Mr McCain unless you go to his room."
Her explanation was of much help to Brie who relaxed and stopped overthinking.
"what is your name, I realized that I should call you something if we were going to stay in the same house " April asked the maid.
"My name is Abby ".
*********
In a dimly lit VIP room of a bar, Adam Black took a drag of his cigarette and puffed out smoke from his mouth and nose before placing the cigarette in an ashtray.
"You really won't quit will you?" Lucan who stood at the door asked.
"You're late" Adam replied nonchalantly and took a sip of the gold liquid in his glass.
Lucan walked over and sat beside him on the long couch. "business looks good " he said gesturing to the door. It was difficult to get into the VIP room as he was continually trying to avoid the ladies who only wanted a free drink and a one night stand,something he hadn't done in years.
"I see your charm still works miracles,just not all the time " Adam joked. Taunting Lucan was one thing he enjoyed doing and there was only one way to truly annoy lucan.'Brie'. From seven years ago till now Brie was Lucan's Achilles heel. His friend was hopelessly in love with the only woman on earth who never fell for his charm. Even he found it strange at first but he later realized that Brie was into bigger games.
"I'm here for her" lucan simply said.
"oh, I hear she's awake, what can I do for you " Adam asked not entirely sure what lucan wanted.
" I want you to be her psychologist " lucan said and a much expected silence followed.
"I don't do shrink no more" Adam said and finished the drink in his glass.
"She's not crazy, she doesn't need a shrink. She needs a professional to talk about her feelings to" Lucan said through gritted teeth, trying not to get angry.
Adam Black was the only person who knew how to get this kind of reaction from him, the man was a skilled psychologist and knew how to play a person just however he wanted".
"Tch, you just defined what a shrink does. Whether you call it shrink or psychologist, I'm not doing it "
" I'll give you whatever you want " Lucan said and was relieved when he noticed the small smile that played on Adam's lios
