Chapter 39 I love the script

“So, we are going to start the video tomorrow because s a holiday. This is the script I write last night. Read it and tell me if it's okay or some recommendations from you guys.” Berna lead the meeting this afternoon even Lyn was the selected leader of the group.

Berna gives them copies of the script. It's two pages back to back. Berna printed a lot for them to have each copy. No need to share. The group starts to read quietly.

“I love the script. Well organized and easy to follow. How about you guys?” Lyn was the one to say her insight about the script, Berna made. Her praises touch Berna's heart appreciating her toughness.

“Me too” Lea agreed.

“Me three”

“Me four”

“Me five”

“And me six” the following agreed too. They can’t help to laugh at their stubbornness.

“The group agreed. Now let's proceed to the financial support for the video. We need money to buy stuff we need on the video like a fake baby bump, maternity dress, etc.” Berna proceeds on the next agenda. Time is running and they need to finalize the plan today.

“No problem for that.” a voice interrupts their meeting. The voice was so familiar and they already know who own it. No other than Axiel Simoun Monteverde.

Berna utter out of curiosity, “Huh?”

‘How? It is an important part to be discussed with.’

“Just count me in, on that problem of yours Miss Berna.” Axiel walks towards them while these words. Money is not a problem on Axiel anyway. He has a ton of it.

“Are you sure Mr. Monteverde? You help us too much.” she reacted. It's too much help from him. It's a shame if he will provide for all their needs.

“It's nothing for me. I can do everything for my baby. Tell me how much money you need, give me an average.” Axiel insists on it. He already decided it and it's final.

“Maybe ten thousand or fifteen thousand. I'm not sure what's the exact amount, sir.” Berna stated while computing in her mind. She's a math genius after all.

“Let Lance give it to you. I didn't carry so much cash with me except cards and a few thousand,” he explained even it isn't needed. He can't be rude in front of Lyn's groupmates. It's unprofessional.

Lance knew what he mean so he take out his wallet and gave fifteen thousand to Berna without double-checking if the amount if it has an excess. Doubting it was less than because he knew the thickness of amounts. He can be a banker if he wants to.

“Thank you, sir. But it's too much. I will return the extra money if there is.” Berna thanked him after Lance handed the money to her. She is now in charge of the money of the group. She must know how to budget it and be wise on buying things they needed.

“My pleasure. Keep the extra money or use it for celebration after the video is done.” he insists. Living her no choice to choose. Either take the money or use it for the celebration.

‘Wow, what a rich man.’

‘Not taking the excess money was wasteful but when you're rich, it's nothing to you.’

‘Rich waste money like wasting time.’

“Are you here sir to fetch Lyn?” Lea ask. She has the guts to ask. What a brave gay. Not afraid to offend this powerful guy in front of her.

“Yes, Leonardo” Axiel smirked by saying that. A playful smile was written on his lips. Teasing this gay and also jealous that this guy was around his baby. There is a possibility that he has a feeling over Lyn. Axiel can't tolerate such behavior.

“Stop Axiel. I told you to be good at her right. Please” Lyn scold him and held his hand. Giving a warning. She didn't want to see a fight between the two of them. It's disrespect upon the group.

Axiel remembers what she said last time. He need to be close with this gay even he didn't want to. It's an order from his beloved woman. He can't disobey her. He has a word and he will do it.

“Sorry about my behavior Lea or Leonardo. Can I be your friend?” he restarted the conversation in a good way. Even he is angry towards her, he needs to set it aside and bear with it.

Knowing the consequences under him to do that.

“It's okay sir. And about me become your friend, its a pleasure sir.” Lea smiled uncomfortably. Now, she was out of words. Cat got her tongue.

“Friends?

“Friends” their hands shake as a seal of a friendship to start. Axiel tightened his grip to make sure Lea would realize that he didn't want it and just he didn't have a choice to choose. Befriend her or sleep in the other room alone. That's the condition.

After that scene, they continue the meeting until it ends. Axiel behaves and sits beside Lyn throughout the meeting like a behaved child. His ear was open and alert but his attention is on Lyn. He plays with her hands all the time when he is bored. He wants to go home and rest.

“Now it's perfectly planned. I already order the things we need last night. See you guys tomorrow.” Berna ended the meeting by saying that. She finally adjourn the meeting that cheered Axiel. Finally, he can have Lyn.

“Can we go now?” he coldly asks. He hugs Lyn and put his jaw on her shoulder. Clinging to her. He didn't care about what they thought.

“Yes, see you tomorrow at the hospital.” they planned to finish all the videos in the hospital before going to the mansion of Axiel so that they will not waste time going back to the hospital for another scene. It's better if they finish all the scenes in that place before going to another setting.

“We get going first. See you tomorrow.” Lyn was the one to answer for Axiel. She bid her goodbye to them with a smile before following Axiel who stands first and go. Her groupmates wave their hands as an answer.

“You're mean baby.” Lyn hit him in the shoulder while saying it. They are already in the car, Lance was the one who drive. Axiel wants to value the time he has with Lyn alone before she will be surprised at home. Surely, Lyn will be busy with her parents later.

“I’m not baby. I just want to have time with you before we go home. Maybe you will forget me later.” he responds with a sullen face. He makes a cute expression with a puppy eye to beg for Lyn. Badly need her.

“Why? I’m with you always at the home baby. What's the matter?” she can’t help but ask. Curiosity kills her. She didn't understand what he mean.

‘Why is she going to ignore him at home?’

‘Is there any problem with him?’

‘Did he have a lot of work at home?’

“Surprise baby. I can't say it now, not to take the excitement for you. You will know it at home. And hope you like it.” a beautiful smile placed on his attractive lips. Wanting her to devour it. She swallow hard and bit her lips. Her throat was dry, wanting to be kissed or one to kiss those lips of him.

‘Know she thinks filthy.’

‘Her thoughts are dirty and not natural for an innocent girl like her.’

‘It is new to her. Fiesting a man is not her type before but now she does.’

“We’re here Master.” Lance interrupts her thoughts. Someone opens the door them and they come out of the car. Axiel put his hand to her waist as they get in the mansion handling the bag of Lyn.

“Good afternoon Master and Lady” the servants greeted them as they enter the main door.

“Good afternoon too. You can go back to your works now.” Lyn was the one to respond as she always do. Knowing that Axiel will not answer back at them and just nod. It's disrespectful to them even they are just servants. It's inhumane.

Servants leave them as they walk to the living area. Lyn froze at what she see. Her parents talking to the parents of Axiel. Laughing and talk with smiles on their faces. They seem too familiar to each other.

“You’re here son and Lyn. Come and join us.” Kyla invites them. They have a good talk so that they didn't know when the two enter the house. Talking to their in-laws is fantastic. They miss the scene like this over those past years.

Axiel leads Lyn to the coach for a two-seater and assists Lyn to sit down as he sits beside her. Lyn can’t believe what she saw. Her parents here at Axiel's house with his family was imaginable. She can't say the exact description for that but it melts her heart. She wants what she sees and her dream come true. Surely their parents like each other.

“Why you're here mama and papa?” Lyn asks out of curiosity. She can't help it.

“We want to visit you because we hear some news about you that you have already met Axiel. So we call him and he let his subordinates fetch us here. We're grateful about that and we didn't expect that his parents are here too. It is such good timing iha. Isn't it?” Mary explained and ask. Happiness is visible on her face and the way she says those words.

“Thank you, son,” she added. Mary feels that she has a son on her own because of Axiel. She wants to have a second child but because she's been in critical condition before, they need to close take out her womb. The nurse who's in charge of her did a wrong movement on pushing her stomach, she push with a lot of effort that cause her so much bleeding that the doctor need to take it out to save her life.

“This is what you said earlier?” Lyn faces him and asks. She regrets not giving him the cuddle that he wishes for before.

She thought, ‘I will take a chance to compensate for that later. I promise.’

“Yes, baby” he smiles at her with a back hug. Their family giggles at their sweetness.

‘What a sweet couple like them before.’

Remembering their relationships before when they are still young. On how they meet each other, their sweet moments, and until they married each other. Unforgettable memories to be kept.

“Thank you” she thankfully says. She leans at his chest and feels the warmth of his body that calms her.

“Ahemmmm” Fernando fake coughs to interrupt their sweetness. Ants are biting them now because of their sweetness.

“We're still here guys.” Joanine talks to make them remember. Lyn blushed as she comes back to reality. It embarrasses her. She takes back her hands and lowers her head

‘She's shameful.’

‘How could she forget them?’

‘It's not a good impression for her. Specifically, her very strict parents.’

“Nuisance” Axiel murmur out of disappointment. Surely he can't make his moves on his baby. He wants to blame these people here in the living area but he can't. He didn't dare.

“Relax son. Lyn is yours later. Let her be with her parents.” Kyla patted his shoulder to calm him. His mommy knows his moods. She's very observative and can pick a person's mood in a short amount of time.

“I know mom. Sorry about this mom.” he apologetic.

‘His son truly change.’ Kyla thought. She smiles at him and assures him that it's okay. She is used to it. And as a mother, she needs to know how to handle such things. There's a lot but if you're a mother you need to be prepared and strong to handle things like that. Surely you will have an understandable family and peace of mind too.

They eat dinner while sharing stories. Lyn was the apple of the eye as she was the main topic. She answers questions with full of respect and goes to the flow while Axiel is out of place.

‘See, they all forgot me. What a good dinner. He already lost his appetite and just want to rest. Letting them enjoy their time.’ he hiss before putting down his spoon and fork.

“Excuse me, guys. I will go upstairs first. Enjoy your dinner.” he caught their attention to say it. As he finishes saying it, he stands and is ready to leave the dining area when Kyla talks.

“Is there a problem son?” she asks.

“Nothing mom. Don't mind me,” he says before leaving. It left them out of words. What a sudden.

“Did you pay attention to him earlier?” Joanine ask. She has a hint about what is happening. It's their fault.

“No?” Fernando respond in a question form.

“So there it is. His displeasure and out of place earlier. He's like that always when we didn't give him attention sometimes.” Joanine clear their thought by explaining the cute side of his brother. It's cute because it is once a Blue Moon.

“It's our fault,” she added to make it simple. Not to be hard for them to analyze. It's not a puzzle after all.

“I need to coax him,” Lyn said mindlessly. It's hard to coax that childish cold guy. Hmmm, she needs to use her charm to do it.

“Good luck ate Lyn. You need to tame the lion.” Naomi teases her. She felt a little bit nervous but she know, she can do it.
