“Right away sir!”
Bellman pulled out his communicator and switched over to the intercom option, first he requested Edwin to meet with Julius in the grand room, next, he’d order a number of staff members to the East Villa suite. As Bellman began to prepare, Julius called Raymon.
“Yo! What’s going on?”
“Hey, it’s me, I need to know if you’ve been able to find anything out regarding Resena turning eighteen?”
“Not yet, BUT I’m meeting with the Blackwells’ Power of Attorney May 18th. I have a feeling it has something to do with the will that was left for Resena. The attorney seems willing to speak with me. Why what’s up?”
Julius quickly updated Raymon on everything that happened between him and Delvoy and then Resena and Delvoy.
“I see. Wow! Yeah, there is definitely something going on. Even when she was engaged to Steelwater, he’d made an agreement that she would stay there until then.”
“Speaking of Steelwater, has he been informed about the ending of their engagement? I’d thought he would come and speak with me; I heard he could be arrogantly prideful.”
“No, it looks like Lanster hasn’t told him yet, maybe he’s trying to figure out how to tell him without it blowing up in his face and because you two have not made your engagement public, it’s managed to slip through the grapevine walls of gossip.”
“Hmm. That’s fine, I deal with Steelwater myself.”
Just then, Edwin walked into the grand room, Julius held up his index finger to indicate for Edwin to give him a moment to wrap things up with Raymon.
“So, you’re on your way to Lanter’s?”
“Yeah, I’m not going to let her stay there knowing he’s possibly plotting.”
“Understood. Do you still have the information I gave you regarding his company?”
“Indeed, I do. I plan on using it as my leverage in case he tries to call off the engagement.”
“Good! Let me know how everything goes, and I’ll keep you updated on what I learn in a few weeks.”
“Thanks Raymon. Talk with you soon.”
As soon as Julius hung up his communicator, Edwin began to speak, he had been listening in on the conversation Julius had with Raymon, so he knew some of what was going on.
“Did you need me to accompany you to the Lanster Estate.”
“Yes, we’re going to pick up my fiancé, she’s no longer going to live there.”
“No problem, sir. Is there a possibility the scene may be hostile?”
Edwin was ex-military; he had become one of the most decorated officers in the imperial army. After serving for 10 years, he’d decided to retire and begin personal security. Julius hired him the moment he took over Spencer Techware. He knew Edwin would be the best person to serve as his bodyguard.
“Honestly, I don’t know, probably not, but I’d like to be safe rather than sorry.”
“I agree sir. Shall we retrieve Ms. Resena.”
“Lets. You drive. I have some documents I need to look over on the way.”
Julius tossed his keys over to Edwin as they left the mansion. He would soon be there to save Resena.
“I’m coming Resena, just hang on.”
Resena began packing her clothes, she’d been given a large trunk when her new clothes were delivered. Packing in haste she soon heard a knock on the door.
“W-Who is it?” Concerned whether it may be her uncle or worse, her aunt, Resena hesitated to open the door.
“It’s me Ms. Resena, Carla.”
Carla had been in the breakfast room during the entire exchange between Resena and Delvoy, she’d heard the entire thing.
“May I come in?”
“Oh! Yes! I’m sorry!”
Resena rushed over to unlock her door, as Carla walked in, Resena noticed she had a concerned look on her face.
“Ms. Resena…are you okay?!”
Carla spat out the words in a panic. She’d heard all the ridiculous things Delvoy said to her. She instantly felt disgusted when he tried to paint the picture of a dutiful uncle. Knowing it would cost her job, Carla decided to go back into the kitchen to defend Resena, however, when she walked up to the door, she could overhear Resena defending herself against him. Standing with her ear to the door, Carla continued to listen, giving quiet shouts of support.
“Oh my gosh!! Way to go Ms. Resena! You tell him!”
After Resena left the kitchen, Carla waited a few minutes and decided to go in. “He hasn’t left the kitchen yet. What’s he doing? I have to see for myself!” Delvoy was still standing in the same spot he’d been in when Resena left. As she began to walk past him, Carla could see his angered face. Delvoy was seething; practically foaming at the mouth. He kept chanting to himself over and over.
“She won’t get away with this! She won’t get away with this!!!!!”
Just then, Delvoy spotted Carla staring at him.
“What the hell do you want!”
Delvoy barked at Carla, causing her to shriek. Staring at him in fear, Carla began to think of a quick reason to give for her to come into the kitchen.
“My apologies sir. I just came in for a drink of water.”
“Fine, get your water and get out!”
“Yes sir!”
As Carla began to leave once grabbing a bottle of water, Delvoy suddenly stopped her.
“You…you’re Carla, right?”
The question caught Carla off guard, why had he asked for her name?
“Well!!”
“U-Ughh, y-yes sir.”
Carla held her head down, maybe coming into the kitchen was a bad idea after all. Just then, Delvoy lifted her chin up with his finger.
“Yes. You’re the one responsible for making my niece look beautiful today, are you not?”
Huh?! “Um, I helped Ms. Resena with her makeup and outfit yes.”
“No…you did more than that. My niece doesn’t know anything about fashion and makeup.”
Where was he going with this? Carla suddenly became angry with herself. “I should have just gone to my room.”
“I just helped her put things to…”
Delvoy suddenly cut her off.
“You did an excellent job. Resena looked exceptional.”
!!!!
“T-Thank you sir…”
“You did too a good job. Because of you, Julius Spencer now wants my niece to move in before she turns eighteen.”
“What!! Sir I…”
“You’re fired!”
