They all left the conference room, got into the elevator and exited the premises.
The moment they got out of the building Trinity immediately asked Charlotte, " Why did you tell the Minister that we had something else to do today? I carefully checked our schedule this morning and found out that we are free for the next two weeks because of Audrey's upcoming wedding."
" Chill. . . I will explain when we get home ", Charlotte answered before getting in their car. Left with no choice she got into the car while the guys got into theirs.
" Hey dude which client do we have a meeting with? ", Chris asked as he drove still keeping his eyes on the road.
" Yeah. . . Stella didn't send me any email on that ", Daniel added confused.
" There's no client, just wanted to get out of there ", he replied with eyes on his phone apparently texting someone.
" Nathaniel is the problem right? Don't like the guy either ", Chris said and was quickly supported by Daniel.
*. *. *. *. *.
" Son ", Rachel called out as she turned her chair in order for her to look at Nathan well.
" Yes mother ", he answered dropping his phone on the table.
" Son I noticed the way you kept staring at Charlotte during the conversation "
" What do you imply by that? "
" You are not denying it? You didn't even feel offended when she refused to shake your hand. What happened to you?y son was even complementing her. I was surprised . . . "
" Mum like I said earlier what are you implying. I never asked you to replay what happened few minutes ago ", he interrupted her with a cold and slightly rude voice.
" Enough! Don't forget I'm your mother. Just because I am sitting and talking to you like a reasonable person doesn't give the right to talk to me like that ", she said putting him back in his place.
" I'm sorry "
" That's better. I just wanted to ask if you have any interest in Charlotte that's all ".
" Really mother. Just because I stared at her for some seconds doesn't mean anything ", he replied angrily, avoiding the question.
" There's is no need to get angry. I only ask if you are interested or not. Besides there is no way no man won't fall for such a beautiful and sexy young lady, also she's from one of the most powerful families in the whole of Neuronialia. We need powerful allies like that ", she replied with a soft voice.
" I admit that she's the most beautiful lady that I have set my eyes on but mum it will take a while for me to really say if I'm interested in her . . . "
" Wait. . . the Coranos is one family. What do you mean by ' allies ' ? ", he asked looking for more explanation from his mother as she had a strategic way of thinking, always looking for ways to benefit from whatever business or relationship she gets into.
" You are just like your father, always making me explain myself. The Coranos are one family yes but they are extremely close with the Ano'ias, and together they are the most powerful family in Neuronialia. If we are allies with these two families, we will also become as powerful and if we manage to become their in-laws, we will literally be untouchable ".
" Ok I see. But mother you are a Minister and dad's the vice head of the Council, why do we still need all these ' powerful allies ' ", Nathan asked and this somehow offended his mother.
" I'm I going to be a Minister forever. Have you forgotten that my tenure will end in a couple of months, eleven months to be precise. While your dad is to be out throned by a new vice head in almost the same period ", she attacked him with a low but annoyed voice.
" Jeez mum! I understand. . . but I will need to check her out "
" Check her out? Ok . . . do update me after you ' check her out ' ", she said sarcastically as she stood up.
" Where are you going? ", he asked also standing up.
" I have a meeting with my executives in about twenty minutes. I will see you later at home ".
" Yeah even I have to be somewhere right now ", he said taking his phone then walking towards the door.
