Chapter 12
Country D (7pm Luna's lodge)
Jessica comes into her room and sees her still working on the reports.. She walks closer and drops a gift bag on the bed.. Luna sees the bag and raised her head with a questioning look on her face. Miss Luna, the CEO asked me to give this to you and he said you should put on that dress and meet him in the VVIP floor D balcony by 8pm.. Luna widens her eyes and checks her time.. Geez Jess this is almost 8pm, why did you bring it since.. Miss Luna I just got it few minutes ago… please hurry and freshen up let me arrange your bag.
( few minutes later Luna is seen walking towards a Man sitting on a dinner table, the settings of the balcony was so beautiful and romantic.. The Man was backing the entrance so she couldn't view his face. There were so many security personnel outside the balcony entrance and some bodyguards also we're standing inside few meters away for the Man.
Luna gets to the table and greets the man before seating down, he is wearing a face mask so she couldn't see his face properly, he nods to respond her greetings.. They were both quiet for about 30 minutes. Xavier was typing something on his laptop, he breathes in as though he was done with his work, he looks at her..
Wow you look so beautiful Miss Luna.. he says trying to be professional, thank you so much Sir, I was surprised you could get exactly my size of dress and matching pair of shoes... Well let's say benefits of having a well shaped body size. Xavier says and signals his personal guard to take the laptop away from the table.. so let's eat. They started eating after Xavier makes a wine toast, and then he engages her in some conversation as though getting to release the tensed atmosphere, Although Luna was abit curious as to why he was putting on a face mask…
After they finish eating, Xavier asks Luna if she came with the reports from the medical outreach team leaders, she nods presents it to him, he goes through the records and was impressed by the well detailed arrangements of the documents, while going through the records he noticed she was becoming sober.. He bids her goodnight and then asks Leo to accompany her to her room, he also tells her to prepare to that she will be meeting some medical practitioners that will be joining her staffs in Country A.
Luna' s Lodge
Jessica was still awake pacing to and fro as usual, Luna walks in and drags her hand leading her to the bed.. she asks "Jessica it's now normal that whenever you are worried you start walking to and fro, don't you get tired? Luna I'm not your P. A, I'm also your closet friend.. it is not bad for me to be worried when I don't know your whereabouts, so tell me everything about our CEO, is he cute? Is he married? Did he give you an award or another cash price? Start talking now before sleep calls!!.. Jessica replies as she yawns and lay down on the bed.. I don't have that strength tonight Jess, let's talk tomorrow morning!! Goodnight.. Luna says as she lays down to sleep.
AUTHOR'S POV
Day 3, 4 and 5 of the outreach went smoothly without any casualties, Xavier has been visiting country A all these days so he could spend time with Andre.. Their bond becomes stronger and better.
Xavier returns to Country D on the Last day of the outreach. Dami had already informed Luna that she will be meeting with the CEO so she was prepared..
Country D ( Classio Hotel)
By 8pm, Luna was already seated at the balcony waiting for his arrival, he walks in about 20mins later and seats down.. She greeted him, he responds and he acknowledge her dressing.. she curious by the facemask anymore. He requested for the records of the outreach, she gives him and after he finished going through it, he gives his guards and signals them.. They all left the balcony..
Xavier asks her if she has something to say to him.. she smiles and responded " Sir I honestly want to appreciate you for all your support towards my son and I, I'm truly grateful for everything you have done. I was able to get a good apartment, a good job that comes along with so much benefits.. I am really indebted to you so such kindheartedness… Thank you so much Sir.
Xavier stood up, then walking towards the rails of the balcony he removes the mask.. he stood there for about 10minutes.. Luna was scared if she had said something wrong or he wants to harm her... she stood up to go ask if he was alright, as though he knew her mind he walks back to the table so she sat down.
Luna was staring at the floor because she was embarrassed by his action towards what she said.
Moon please am sorry for everything, Xavier said.. that name rings a bell in her ears, Luna looks up and screams and tried to run back to her room but he catches her,.. You devil, so it was you all along, why did you come back, why all the lies and care, Xavier you ruined my life, you shattered me, you made me go through traumatic experiences.. You are my Broken past, I don't want to see you again.. please stay away from me and my son.. I will even quit this job as well…she says screaming and crying.. Moon pleas calm down let's talk… I didn't abandon you, I really had no idea of your pregnancy please this is all a misunderstanding, Moon remember we took an built a shield to always listen.. please hear me out.. Xavier you are a monster.. let me go, Luna cries as she tries to break free.. seeing that she was becoming sober again he let go of her hands..
Moon please there are so many things you should know but I want you to know that I wouldn't hurt you deliberately..
A lot happened and I just couldn't face you when I returned especially after hearing you now hate me so much.
