Al's eyes flew open due to the sudden headache he felt. He sat on his bed reluctantly and picked some medicines from the drawer and drank it. After that, he massaged his head for a while and stood up to take a shower, and went back to sleep again.
Butler Sam woke up Jules and Louis when he saw the news. The video of Al and Jules has become the talk of the town overnight.
Louis then called Austin.
"Hello, Uncle. What's up?" Austin asked in his sleepy voice.
"Are you still asleep?"
"Yeah, I slept quite late yesterday."
"Watch the broadcast on national television. When you are done I need you here." Louis said as he hung up.
Austin then stood up and went to the living room. He saw Scarlet watching television already.
"Hey, babe... you are awake already." Scarlet smiled.
"Yeah, Uncle woke me up. He said something about national television. Could you please tune in there?" He requested.
"Okay,"
The first thing the read was "Alaric Leblanc Finally gets Engaged,"
"What is that," Austin asked
"Ray....." Austin called for his head of security.
"Sir, .."
"I need you to double the security at this house and all Grey and Leblanc properties. Make sure no paparazzi gets close to any member of this family." He ordered
"Especially the Leblanc Mansion."
"Okay, sir." He said and left to make the calls.
"Honey get ready, we will be going to Al's place now." He said as he kissed her.
When they arrived at the place everyone was silent but what seemed quite intriguing was Al was not there.
"Where's Al?" Austin asked.
"Asleep," Sam replied.
"I see." He nodded as he sat on the couch.
"What happened," Austin asked.
"It was my fault." Jules began she narrated everything that happened there.
"Al had nothing to do with it." She ended.
"Am so sorry I left you to deal with this on your own." Austin apologized.
"It's the fault of neither of you," Louis said.
"Someone should wake that boy up now. He should come and see what he's done." Louis ordered.
Butler Sam left to do it but Austin stopped him.
"Allow me."
"Okay."
Austin entered his room and saw him still sleeping. He shook his head and tapped him.
"Wake up."
"What's it? Why are you here this early morning?" He asked as he sat on the bed.
"You are needed downstairs."
"Okay, I will be there shortly," Al said.
"Good," Austin said as he left the room.
Al sat down for a few minutes and then followed.
Has he was descending the stairs he released the tension there.
"What's wrong, "he said the moment he got there. Austin gestured for him to watch the television.
He stood there for a while as he digested the information.
"How did they know what I was going to say today?" He asked.
