Hey guys!
So I've been busy with my contract, which is now been processed as I am anxiously waiting for the results.
But no matter what, I have already promised you guys 10 chapters a week. So here are the other 6 chapters.
And don't forget to lend me your power stones. Because you do get more chapters for doing so.
So enjoy!
Ah!! My back is killing me!!!
......
He released her hands as he continued saying.
"But please, before you go at l…" But before Philip could complete his sentence he watched in shock as Charlotte broke through the crowds and ran away.
He started in silence, denying what he had just seen as his emotions stacked upon each other.
...…...
Meanwhile
"Haaaaa...Now, this is a meal" Lucien said as he breathed out in relief after gulping down a cup full of water.
Picking up the small face towelette from the table, Lucien used it to wipe his mouth clean as he looked at the empty plates that occupied his table.
'And if I didn't have any once of self-respect left, then I would have asked for more' Lucien thought as his eyes briefly stared at the buffet table which was still filled to the brim with numerous amounts of dishes and drinks.
'But I still have work to do. At least I won't be fighting on an empty stomach' He added.
Lucien looked at the waiter that had been assigned to him by Charlotte to keep an eye on him in case he had finished his meal so that she could be informed of it and said.
"You can go ahead and inform Miss Charlotte that I am done with my meal, so I will be taking my leave soon".
"Alright, Sir. I will inform Miss Charlotte right away" The waiter replied as he instantly walked away to look for where the young miss was.
Meanwhile, Lucien stayed and watched the waiter leave until he was out of sight.
Then he instantly stood up and headed for the door.
Even though Lucien would have liked to linger around for a while longer, he couldn't. But even if he could, he wouldn't waste any second waiting until Charlotte arrives.
It wasn't that she irked him or wasn't attracted to her, but it was just that she smelled like trouble.
And it stank so bad that he could feel a volcano trying to erupt during their limited time together.
Coupled with his ability to judge a woman and his instinct as a huntsman, he could easily differentiate which woman he should associate with and which not to after spending some time with them.
After all, how did you think that he could get away with numerous amounts of women without having any problems?
And though they were sometimes that his judgment had failed him.
But the number of times it had saved him was fair enough for him to trust his gut.
And that itself was sufficient for him to leave immediately after the meal. But if by chance they do meet again, then he would have to thank her for the feast.
As Lucien walked towards the door, he noticed the crowds were suddenly gathering around a certain spot.
Several murmurs and whispers broke out as the crowds each muttered into each other's ears.
But their words couldn't escape Lucien, whose ears has already picked out several voices from the crowds with his heightened sense of hearing which was already far more powerful than that of a normal human being.
"Hey! Isn't that Mr Philip Beniot"
"Yeah! that's him, I saw his face in a magazine once. But I didn't know that he has returned to France already. Isn't he supposed to be in Britain for his studies?"
"Who are you guys talking about? I still can't remember him. And besides, you guys mentioned his name is Philip Beniot. Is he in any way related to the Beniot family?" Another lady whispered with curiosity in her voice.
"Of course silly. That man is Philip Beniot. The second son of Bastein Beniot -CEO of the Beniot inc" A lady answered coquettishly as she looked at the woman beside her who had opened her eyes in surprise after hearing her response.
"Huh!! So that is Mr Bastein's Beniot second son. But why haven't I been hearing of him?".
"It's not surprising that you haven't heard of him considering that he left the country two years ago to further his studies in Britain" Another Lady chuckled in amusement as she answered each of the woman's questions.
"But he isn't supposed to be in Paris now because from what I heard, he is supposed to stay in Britain for at least four years. Heaven knows why he returned now" She added.
"Yeah, I'm now curious about that too" Another lady beside her whispered as they all watched as Philip knelt on one knee and proposed to Charlotte, asking for her hand in marriage.
And it was at this time that Lucien proceeded to walk towards the door thinking that he had heard enough.
Philip Beniot. Second son of Bastien Beniot. Who is also the CEO of Benoit Inc? One of the biggest automobile industries in France.
Haaaa…what a joke!
Thankfully he listened to his gut and walked out of there immediately if not, he would have been in a hot mess.
He knew that Charlotte had taken a liking to him which was only meant as a way to satisfy her curiosity.
And that was why he had played and lied to her the way he did, if not he would have tried other methods.
But the fact that she was about to become the fiancee of a third-generation wealthy fella was enough for him to quicken his steps as he finally made his way out of the hall.
It wasn't that he was scared or been a wimp. But he was the kind of person that avoided any nonsensical problems at all costs.
Because no matter how reckless and insensitive he was, he knew which kinds of problems to avoid and which ones he would readily dive into head first.
Because who was he kidding, his life outside the organization is practically shit even if he couldn't accept it, he knows that he couldn't deny it either.
Outside the organization, he was a nobody. A person without fame or status.
