Chapter 8 - He is here

Pierre let Rhea go and when he was sure she couldn't see him, he followed her. Just as he hoped, she was going to room 201, his room. He watched as Rhea entered the room. Rubbing his hands together, he entered the room as well and locked the door.

The old man Rhea had helped at the hospital, Mr Harvey had been discharged from the hospital. He was in a room when his informant came to meet him. 'Sir, I have a bad news, the girl you made me investigate is in this same hospital and she is in trouble. The old man was enraged, 'who dares to harm her! Let's go '. His informant briefly told him everything on the way and the old man grew anxious, he was afraid they would be too late when they got there.

They got to the room where Rhea had entered, the whole hotel was in chaos already and the owner had been called. He was shivering in the presence of Mr Harvey. The door was locked from inside. 'Bring it down!!', the old man commanded and with just one attack, the door was broken and everybody rushed in but... What they saw almost made them puke blood. Pierre was on the floor badly injured and Rhea was watching TV while eating popcorn. She turned around and saw everyone staring at her weirdly. 'What's wrong?', she asked innocently. Mr Harvey answered instead, 'oh nothing my dear. you see, I was going to buy this hotel and I decided to test the quality of the doors to see if it needs to be changed '.

'Oh! I see', Rhea nodded in understanding even though she knew the old man was lying. She knows that he probably thought that she was in trouble and came to help her. Looks like the old man doesn't have an ordinary background after all.

Rhea quitted her job and joined the old man for tea. She kept sighing while thinking of what to do next. The old man knew what she was thinking of. 'Tell you what, I have a job for you ', Rhea's eyes glowed as she heard that. 'Really? You do?'. The old man nodded ,' I have a very important job for you. I want you to marry my grandson'. He stopped to look at Rhea's expression. Just like he expected, she was alarmed. 'Again with this topic? How can I marry a stranger? If I was your daughter, would you still ask me to marry someone I don't know ?'. Rhea was mortified but the old man held her hand,' My dear you will get to know him right ? You have to help me my dear. You don't have to worry about anything, you just agree to the marriage and everything is done , please '. Rhea shook her head. 'Why? Why should I be the one to marry your grandson? I don't agree to this '. Mr Harvey sulked. 'Actually, there is a reason why I want it to be you. First, I trust you. There is another reason, I don't have much time left. I don't want to die before my grandson gets married and judging by the pace he's taking, I will be long dead before he even consider getting a girlfriend. Please help me Isabelle, I really need your help ', Rhea grunted. The old man really knows how to get her and now she doesn't even know if he is telling the truth. 'He wouldn't lie about his life right?', Rhea thought and decided to agree. What could go wrong? It's better than going back to Isabelle's horrible family. 'Alright but can you guarantee my safety?', Rhea was still hesitant. 'Don't worry about a thing ', grandfather assured Rhea. 'So, I should actually know a bit about your grandson right?'. The old man nodded in agreement. His son, Aaron Hilton had quite a history. 'Wait, Hilton? You have another grandson named Felix Hilton right?'. The old man's face turned sour when Rhea mentioned Felix's name. He doesn't seem to be fond of Felix. 'So Felix is actually Mr Harvey's grandson and this Aaron is Felix older brother, that means if I eventually get married to Aaron, I will have to see Felix and Anna's annoying face. Ugh! This is making me mad!', Rhea thought in annoyance. 'Listen dear, I know about your history with that unfilial grandson of mine and you don't have to worry about him. I will beat him up if he tries to mess with my granddaughter in law ', Rhea smiled at the old man. She knew he was just trying to cheer her up. 'I know that you might be planning revenge against your family. I've heard about how you were treated in that house and let me tell you, I am with you. If you need my help with anything then let me know, okay?', Rhea nodded.

'Hello there', a middle aged woman came in. The first thing Rhea thought of when she saw her was,'beautiful'. 'Oh you're back. This is my granddaughter in law, Isabelle. Isabelle dear, this is nanny rose. She has been taking care of me for a long time now but she is quite old already ', nanny rose frowned at the old man's last sentence. She smiled warmly at Rhea and Rhea greeted her. They all chatted for a while and nanny rose dragged Mr Harvey to a corner to talk to him, 'Are you sure about this? You still remember what happened three years ago right? Aaron will go berserk if she turns out to be one of those girls '. The old man sighed. What happened that day was a thing he would never forget and that made him worry about his grandson getting married to any girl. 'Don't worry rose. Isabelle is different from those selfish girls and she is quite interesting too. I am sure that Aaron will not regret it, by the way is he coming?', nanny rose nodded to his question. Just then, the sound of a car was heard.

The old man smiled,'he is here'.
