Chapter 7 - Going Home?

You're Going Home Today Huh?

Equinox asks Eula if she will go straight to Fleurette's family's house but she declines to let him go to her house.

Eula, would you want me to bring you home?

No, just bring me to my friend's restaurant. I'll eat there and catch up with them and try to get any other news.

Nox just nodded and he knows she still doesn't want to see her family. He knows that she would make as many excuses as possible to delay going home.

Eula wanted to delay the interactions with her family she just expect that it will be painful so she tried get ready

Eula asks her secretary to pick her up in a private restaurant that she Co-owned the owner of the restaurant was her friend Nathalie Michaels. They are so closed that when she sees her on the front door she immediately closes the upper floor so they can have privacy. Natalie hugged her tight and said

"Do you want to wreak havoc?".

"Well be crazy this time".

" If you need chaos we can call the girls".

Nats! I know you miss me too much but first let me introduce you to Equinox Blackwell. He's the one I'm with when I got out of track these few weeks or should I say two and half months.

Nox this is Nathalie Michaels, she's the owner of this restaurant and the main chef as well.

She really cooked delicious food.

Whose much more delicious is my cooking or hers? Nox said he makes sure that his voice is heard, resonates and it echoes as well (it's not his fault there is an echo though).

Eula was taken aback and retorted of course everything or b.o.t.h of your f.o.o.d.s are g.r.e.a.t she stutters a little bit and her face is purely flushed red.

Nathalie notices how she reacts and cuts it off with.

Do you want to eat with us, Nox?.

When you chatted me earlier I already prepared your favorite pizza and pasta combos

You love the Creamy Spinach Pizza and Lasagna right? I added other things like Rice,Spring Rolls,Karaage Beef, Pork, Chicken, and Tonkatsu. I also prepare a dark chocolate cake that you like and other foods.

Today, We would not care about calories or diet here okay? Said Nathalie.

Am I going to die today?. It looks like I will die because of excessive eating Eula said, teasing Nathalie.

Your friend wanted to relax. She knows what you went through Sweetheart! Nox slipped his tongue and called her with an endearment nickname.

She just looks at Nathalie and blush. Nats will have a lot of questions. I will be on the hot seat for investigation later.

The when they are enjoying their conversation rain pours non-stop so Equinox stay for a longer period of time

She remembers how close she was with her real friends. Some of them have been her friends since pre-school and some are elementary and new one's are in high school and college.

They know that they can lean on each other. She just remembers how clever and silly they are when they are complete. It gave her a huge smile on her face.

(I guess it's a good decision to go to the restaurant that Natalie owned first).

She also asked her to contact Louise which she didn't get in touch via call in the past weeks. She just texted that she will turn off any communication device she has except her laptop that she brought in the mall, she let her know to email her or call her via video call portal.

May I excuse myself for a while and ask where the restroom is?

It's in the corridor on the other side of that pillar you just need to turn left and you'll see the restroom instructed by Nathalie

She was also teased by Natalie about Nox since the man is much Handsome, and 100x one hundred times better in any way to her Ex-fiance Patrick when Nox leaves them for a while to go to the restroom.

Nox really you're calling him by his nickname Huh! said Nathalie.

You need to tell me more I won't let you go away teased by Nathalie

Euls, you'll need to stand and turn around and see who's here.

And then Louise came running to her crying her eyes out.

You should say sorry to me! You turned off your phone and did not even contact me after you message me that you will turn off your cell phone!

I hate you! Am I really your friend! I was so worried what you might do while crying to her Louise was hugged by Nathalie.

Oh! our poor little baby sister, Stop crying you look liked we bullied you Nathalie said

You're both bullies it's true I hate you both! Still crying.

Eula can't help but teased her,

"You snot is coming out and your getting much uglier"

I am not Ugly, I am pretty and I am much more beautiful than both of you! Hump! Hump!

As Loiuse started to get red by the moment and both Eula and Nathalie couldn't stop laughing.

She looked like a hamster that got angry since we still ate its food!. There are people in the world that change a bit now she has proof of it.

She started to tell stories about where she had been and how she coped with the scandal.

They started eating as well. Eula couldn't help to look where the restroom was located.

She really get closer to Nox.

Meanwhile, Equinox is talking to Cloud on the phone!

(Ringtone)

Claudius, What is it?.

Boss Everything is a mess you said to investigate and guard every movement about the Fleurette they are crazy to the core!

Are you still with Miss Eula? Don't leave her alone, better postpone her travel going home they are planning to hurt her they are out of their minds.

Calm down first Claudius! Ordered by Equinox as he felt Claudius tension and anger.

Sorry Boss, I thought she was their family member why they're doing this. I just need to grab a Ice coffee and I should calm down don't hang up. This story will get you mad as well.

Equinox walked back to the table to see another woman on the table. She looks the same age as Eula and Nathalie but she is wearing a jumper like a child 's.

Eula notices Equinox walking and sees his grim image. His expression is the darkest I have ever seen throughout the time they are with each other.

Equinox says Can they be trusted? As he was near the table where the friends stop talking to look at this man.

Yes they are trustworthy. They have been my friends since I was little. They even know my mother and I swear on her grave that they are my real friends.

"I will vouch for them, Nox," said Eula.

Both Nathalie and Louise smiled.

They are like knitted threads since their childhood they argue on little things but they are true to one another. They are not blood related but they are like real sisters through thick and thin. They fight for each other. The sisterhood they have goes beyond blood ties.

Eula has a lot of childhood friends, actually they are (8) eight. The other one's are not here with them because of busy schedule and they are working to help her as well.

Well okay! Let me put claudius on the loudspeaker.

Oh! This is Louise Collins, She is a Trauma Doctor. You can call her Lou.

Claudius, you're a loudspeaker. I have Eula with me with her friends.

Boss, is it okay for Miss Eula to know? said Cloud.

Yes, she has the right to know everything! said Equinox.

Okay, so I will start with Miss Eula. First I wanted to say sorry we are worried about you so all of us Boss, Me and Aquila started to investigate and put spies to watch over your family the Fleurette we did not expect the outcome of our move.

We learned a detailed plan to hurt you. Personally I can believe it at first since it was your family but Aquila and I found evidence about the plan. They are rotten to the core. I was so taken aback that I needed a dose of Ice coffee just to calm myself from what I learned.

Oh my poor face, it showed wrinkles here already! Can you see here pointing at his eyes.

Claudius, continue your story or else! warned by Nox

Okay ,Boss I am just trying to lighten the mood. You will really go old earlier than expected. Don't marry him when it happens, Miss Eula! whispered by Claudius but everyone heard it.

We put spies on your Family Home, Fleurette Company and even on The Declan's.

They all conspired hurting you. Is the place you're staying safe, Miss Eula. They even planned something about your friends so you will go out of hiding.

Three friends look at each other and they now understand how scary it was to be in her situation.

Me and Louise will call the girls later to check on them,let them know to be cautious,observe and report suspicious people around them, said Nathalie.

Your Father's side of the family really lost their brains already, even your Ex-Fiance and his family said Louise

Good Luck if they succeed Sorry Eula but I cannot take it anymore I will not tolerate it they plan to hurt your friends for you to come out God Heavens! Louise added.

They are planning to be in jail earlier than expected said Nathalie

Claudius continue to speak

Miss Eula Do you remember your house on Luminae was already full of the people they chose to wait for your return.

The plan was quite simple for you not to take a buzz on the news since they know that you will totally do something unexpected and it might trigger Fleurette and Declan's company to totally collapse from the business world.

You have the upper hand at this time since they are the one who made a mistake against you.

Yes, I know I have the upper hand in this battle, I just didn't expect for them to gang up on me. My family I understand but the Declan's who I got so much care for when I was Patrick's fiance I just can't believe it.

Why did I fail to see all of these?

It's all an act! It's all an act!

Eula Can't help but to silently shake and cry quietly.

Boss, I will send you the evidence files, video and voice recording that we accumulate through the investigation, Claudius said before the call drops.

Beep! beep! beep!

Beep! beep! beep!

Beep! beep! beep!

Beep! beep! beep!

All Four of them just stared at each other.
