Lexus, who had just returned to Ramon's study, tilted his head with a faint frown on his forehead when he saw that his brother was preparing to leave.
"Where are you going?" asked Lexus.
"Meeting," Ramon answered as he picked up the cell phone on his desk.
Hearing that answer, Lexus's forehead creased even more. "I don't remember you having a meeting outside at this time? You don't even have an important meeting today."
Ramon then glared at Lexus and made his younger brother show a defensive stance, as if the man in front of him would pounce on him in the next second. "What?" he asked.
"Are you my personal assistant?" asked Ramon and Lexus shook his head automatically. "Then you don't know my schedule."
'Okay, okay… If you want to go out, just do so. There's no need to stare at me fiercely,' Lexus thought. "Then what about this document?" asked Lexus, pointing to the document lying on the table and was neglected.
"I'll look into it later." He then stepped out of his study, leaving Lexus there alone.
"Later?" Lexus repeated in the empty room. "Didn't you say earlier that you needed this document immediately?"
Lexus ruffled his own hair in frustration.
==============
Hailee was enjoying her lunch now, because Lis forced them to have lunch first before she tried on the second dress.
Actually, this second dress was not anything special, just a normal dress with flowers, which would look cheerful for the garden party Lis was planning.
Hailee was actually not that enthusiastic about this, she thought this marriage would only have one theme and everything would end quickly, but Lis had different thoughts.
It seemed that this socialite woman really knew how to throw a party. She seemed to be intending to make the wedding as lively as possible and if possible she would make it last for a full twenty-four hours.
This could be understood from Lis's constant complaining about time constraints and proposal to continue the marriage rituals on the following day too, but Hailee could breathe a sigh of relief when Ramon openly rejected the idea and Lis had to cross the idea off the arrangements list.
"Hailee, you haven't told me how you met Ramon for the first time?" Margaretha sipped her green tea while trying to dig up more information about Hailee and Ramon while Lis was off to the toilet. "Surely your meeting is very interesting."
"Well, you can say that…" Hailee responded with a polite laugh, not intending to explain and hoped that this fashion designer didn't show her gossipy side too much.
However, it seemed that Hailee's hopes were just in vain, because Margaretha seemed not to want to give up this opportunity. She ignored the subtle refusal gesture Hailee made and tried again.
You can't really get away from a woman who is so determined to find interesting topics. Somehow, these types of women can find a thousand and one ways to achieve their goals.
"Then, who approached whom first?" Margaretha asked again, more enthusiastically this time. "I've asked Lis, but she also doesn't know so many details of your story," she complained.
Supposedly, even if Lis didn't know, you shouldn't be so eager to find out… Hailee grimaced internally.
"So?" Margaretha's eyes sparkled, like a hungry lion's upon finding a cute deer.
"So…" Hailee said slowly, glancing at the hand that was held by Margaretha and seeing how this middle-aged woman leaned forward with enthusiasm.
"Hm?" Margaretha nodded, giving Hailee unnecessary support, to continue her sentence.
"We met by accident," said someone.
This man's voice almost made Hailee jump from her seat and made Margaretha pull back her hand that was holding Hailee's.
However, as soon as she saw the figure of the person who just talked, Margaretha's enthusiasm became even more overwhelming.
"Ramon!"
Hailee and Margaretha called out the man's name at the same time, but of course with different tones of voice and expressions.
==============
"So how did it go?" asked Lis curiously. She was currently talking to Lexus on the phone, checking up on his second son about her plans to bring Ramon to see Hailee in her wedding dress.
"Failed," replied Lexus while massaging his forehead, now he was sitting on the sofa, in Ramon's study while playing games in the middle of his mother's pursuit.
"Failed? Why? Ramon has absolutely no interest in seeing Hailee in a wedding dress after seeing that photo?" asked Lis again, her forehead creased. She then stepped out of the toilet and walked slowly to the table where she had left Hailee and Margaretha alone.
"Ramon said he had a meeting outside and it seemed like he had absolutely no interest in seeing Hailee, his face didn't even show any change..."
Lexus continued talking, while Lis continued to walk toward their table with a frown while listening.
They came to eat at a restaurant near Margaretha's boutique, a comfortable place, but with privacy that was maintained sophisticatedly, as all of Margaretha's clients could be ascertained from respected families and not just anyone.
But, then Lis's eyes widened when she saw that a man had joined Hailee and Margaretha.
Even though the man had his back to her and his face was not visible from this angle, but of course Lis could immediately recognize the child she had carried for nine months.
"You said Ramon couldn't come because he had a meeting?!" Lis asked into the phone, her voice a little annoyed, but also enthusiastic when she found her son there.
Lexus was surprised and pressed the wrong button until the game he was playing displayed the words 'Game Over' on his cellphone screen.
"Yes, he said it like that," Lexus said grumpily. "He didn't even see the document I gave him, even though he had to sign it today."
"Then who do I see now? Ghost?"
"Hah?" Lexus frowned in disbelief. "Are you seeing a ghost?"
"I just saw your brother!" Lis said impatiently.
"How did he get there?" Lexus blinked in confusion.
"Your mother also wanted to ask the same, how could he be here when you said he had a meeting outside?" Lis grumbled. "You really can't be counted on."
After saying that, Lis then disconnected the call and rushed to the three people at the table with a beaming face.
Meanwhile, on the other side of city A, Lexus could only stare at his cellphone while whining, "I think I have to do a DNA test, to find out if I really am her own child..." he complained.
Lexus, who had just returned to Ramon's study, tilted his head with a faint frown on his forehead when he saw that his brother was preparing to leave.
"Where are you going?" asked Lexus.
"Meeting," Ramon answered as he picked up the cell phone on his desk.
