Chapter 47 Chapter 47) Furious.
1pm,
“Why hasn't she been picking up our calls?!”. Leo said and ruffled his hair because he was frustrated and felt that Kate was ignoring him on purpose. How could she dare do that to him?
The events of that day were still stuck inside his head. Of how he and Lucas remained outside her penthouse for a long time waiting for her to answer them, only for her to ignore them as she saw fit.
“Calm down, bro. She can't keep on avoiding us forever. Sooner or later, she would have to crawl out of her cage and self-comfort to meet us”. Lucas assured Leo, but he wasn't having it and was extremely impatient, as he wanted to meet with her right now.
He rose from the sofa and went and stood next to the window, with his hands placed on his hips as he stared outside the mansion, hoping that she was going to pop out of the blue.
But, what was he thinking?
She was avoiding his calls. That meant she was purposely avoiding him and would not show up at the mansion again, because she must have guessed that he was there waiting for her to come.
Yes, exactly. After she ignored him and Lucas when they came to her penthouse, they decided to stay in the mansion for a few days waiting for her, before they would return to school.
But, it has been 2 days, but she has not shown up.
At this rate, they might end up returning to college without meeting her. After all, they had gone as far as searching for her in her place of work, only to be told that she took a break and wouldn't report to work for the time being.
“What the heck is wrong with her?”. He said with a hiss, and turned in the direction of the door with a frown on his face after he heard a knock on the door.
The veins in his neck popped out as he glared and said, “Who is it?!”.
‘There he goes again with that bad temper of his’. Lucas shook his head and massaged his temples as he watched in silence. During the past hours, he was the one who stayed by Leo’s side and was trying to make him calm down.
He was afraid that if he had not stepped up to do the job, Leo would have turned the entire mansion upside-down.
But now, he had gotten tired of continuing to calm him down, and had decided to let him do whatever he wanted to do.
Even if he wanted to turn the mansion upside-down, he should go ahead and do as he wanted, as it wasn't his problem.
“Young master Leo, Madam Cecilia said I should invite you to the living room. The Master has returned home”. The maidservant reported, and as soon as she announced that, she hurried off, with beads of sweat on her forehead.
She couldn't afford to let Leo see her face, because she was scared of him.
With the way his voice sounded, she knew that he was furious, and she knew what might happen to her while he was angry.
She could end up being fired, and she could not afford to let something like that happen.
Not when her family needed the money she earned from working in the mansion.
{Inside the room}
After hearing what the maidservant said to him, the frown on Leo's face faded away. He muttered, “Father has returned home? I thought he wouldn't”.
Lucas rose up when Leo was saying that. Then, with his hands inside his trouser pockets, he said, “Well, we should go ahead and greet our Dada since he has returned”.
“Don't wait here by yourself”. He added, before he left the room, which belonged to Leo.
As for Leo, he let out a heavy sigh.
“I thought he would not return until we left”. He said and sounded displeased, because he didn't want to meet his father.
Not yet, as their last discussion did not go well, and he was afraid that he was going to resume the talk about him joining politics after he graduated from college.
But, that was not the life he wanted.
That was not his dream.
Too bad that he had already been threatened that if he didn't become a politician, he wasn't going to inherit a dime.
And thinking about that, he came to a conclusion.
It was strange that Kate suddenly had the courage to hurt his mother and say that she was going to chase them out of the mansion empty-handed.
Could it be that his father was the mastermind behind it?
Did he do that so that he would reconsider and join politics, so every property was automatically going to become his?
“I see the game you are playing”. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
He was angry, because his father had won. He was going to join politics, because he could never have someone like Kate inherit a single property.
He was going to make sure that she paid for what she had said and done.
Whether his father was behind it or not, he did not care about it, neither was he going to cut her some slack.
“I guess I should meet him. We have unfinished business together”. He said, before he went out of his room, and was on his way to the living room.
