"Huh!!" That was the only response Lucien could give as he heard what the woman said.
"Go where?" Lucien said in surprise.
"Where else? Other than that to help you find the right room" Charlotte replied as though it was the most reasonable thing to do.
"And what about your birthday party? You can't just abandon it to follow me and look for the right room".
"Sigh!! I was already getting tired of it anyway. Although I didn't expect much when my dad told me about the surprise birthday party, it was still disappointing to see them talk throughout the night while they sip on their wine" Charlotte said.
"If this is what I am going to be looking at all night, then I might as well ditch the party and find something interesting".
"You don't sound like someone going through her 26th birthday. You sound like a..." Lucien responded but his words were interrupted before he could finish them.
"A rash brat" Charlotte said with a thin smile on her lips in an attempt to complete Lucien's sentence.
"No" Lucien shook his head saying "You sound like a delinquent".
Charlotte's face turned into a frown before she smiled once more.
"And since Mr Joseph already knows that, will you still avoid my help?".
"Yes, of course. See you later miss Charlotte" Lucien said as he turned to head out towards the door.
After thoroughly examining a woman like Charlotte, Lucien already has an idea of what type of woman she was.
She was just the kind of rich spoiled brat who would do anything in their power to have some freedom no matter small it was, even if the freedom was as little as a needle hole!
All that mattered was that she could be able to experience what it felt like to escape the various gazes of those who always watched her every step.
He had seen several women like her as a pick-up artist. And it was mostly from guys who wanted to catch their hearts and miraculously become the sons-in-aw of a wealthy family.
Although the beginning stages would mostly be difficult because of the tight security around such women, and also how deep the pockets of the men chasing them were.
And although some don't usually make it passed those trails. But those that do usually end up eloping with such women.
But in the end, they were mostly caught and were cautioned by either her father, brother, mother or relatives.
And in most cases, some of them were never heard from again.
And only a select few were able to get the heart of such a woman and those around her, but that luck didn't apply to just anyone.
If not he would have found a woman with such wealth and not have to skip breakfast and lunch 3 days a week.
You know what? Now that he thinks about it, for someone who fights and toils every day just to support and protect humanity, he is pretty much broke to attempt sleeping in a hotel, and not to talk about one as grand as this.
"Rumbling!!" "Rumbling!!"
Lucien suddenly halted his steps as he felt the sudden discomfort in his stomach.
It wasn't just the arching feeling that caused him to stop, but the sudden eruption which he was sure was also heard by those around him.
And that also included the woman behind him.
"I don't mind if you refuse my help, but at least, you should eat something before you go" Charlotte looked at Lucien as she said with a smile.
"This is a party, isn't it? So how can I let you go empty-handed".
"Well, I am in hurry to get to my business meeting, but when I think about it more, they might have already started without me. And since my assistant is there…" Lucien said as his facial expression made it look like he was pondering over a very difficult situation.
Which in truth he was. Because the only thing that he had drank today was a bottle of beer.
And that couldn't be compared to the buffet table that had immediately captured his attention the moment he stepped into the room.
But still, even though the temptation was great, Lucien couldn't help but release a sigh as he knew that this wasn't the time to be tempted by such things.
He still had an investigation to carry out. One that heavily decided his future and his life in the organization. And they were also a few things in this world that he could place above that.
And hunger wasn't one of them.
"Can I please know what time it is, Miss Charlotte?" Lucien asked as he turned around to face the woman.
Meanwhile, Charlotte who has been watching Lucien's face changing into different expressions couldn't help but deepen her smile as she saw that her chances weren't lost yet.
Hearing Lucien's question, She turned her hands and took a quick look at her watch.
Seeing that it was already three hours to midnight, she said "The time is 9: 36 Pm Mr Joseph".
'Hmm…That means there are only two more hours to go before the event starts' Lucien thought as that only meant he had less time to find out which floor the event was taking place on.
Shaking his head as he tried to dispel his thoughts so that he could recommence his investigation, a loud growling sound sounded from his stomach once again.
'You know what forget it. All this won't matter if I die of hunger on my way there. Besides, I can't fight a pack of monsters on an empty stomach' Lucien thought as he glanced at the buffet table once more.
But this time, the table looked more tempting and seductive because of his increased hunger.
Each glance intensified the hunger he felt as his eyes were no more satisfied with just looking.
"There's no harm in trying a little before I recommence my search. Besides I don't want to find out if a huntsman can develop a stomach ulcer'.
