Chapter 20: Live with Me

Harrington University was the most prestigious school in the country. But the tuition fee in there is astronomical. That is why, only the rich could study there. Thus, she did not hesitate to pass on this opportunity.

"Yes" she resolutely said.

Dante was pleased with her reply. He looked at his wrist watch and said, "Very good. Mr. George will send you the details for the exam. I will leave now as I have other matters to attend to. The both of you can stay in here to catch up." After he said that, he stood and started to walk towards the exit. He only walked a few steps when he suddenly stopped and turned around.

"Ah! I forgot to mention. You should pack your things because whether you pass or not you will be living here together with your father. I can only give that as a consolation in case you fail it." he continued to stride towards the exit after he said that.

Ayesha was surprised again. He never thought that Dante would be a kind man. She thought that rich people will only do things that benefit them. After all, that is their way of increasing their wealth. 'But what could he benefit from this kindness?' she wondered.

"Is it really alright for me to stay here?" she asked in doubt.

"Yes, he is the owner of this house so he can make decisions" he happily replied.

"What about his parents? Wouldn't they question his decision of me staying here?" she asked again.

"His parents don't live here. They live in the main house. Only the young master is living here" he patiently explained.

"What? Isn't that sad? Is the relationship with his parents that bad?" she voiced her concern.

"I don't really know because nobody actually talked about it. But how could we understand what the rich are thinking anyways" he laughingly replied.

"Was it true that the plant was given by her mother? Why don't he asked her how to take care of it? Why give it to you to be taken care of?" she voiced the loophole in the story told by Mr. George.

"As far as I know, his biological mother died in an accident. That is why, he asked me instead." he pondered.

"Oh, I understood now. Anyways, enough of him. How are you dad? Are your eating well here? Do they treat you well? Do they overwork you?" she bombarded.

"Hahaha…slow down child. Just as I always tell you during our phone calls, I'm doing fine here. As you can see, this is my workplace. So, most of the time I am here taking care of the plants" he said.

Ayesha was shocked and voiced her concern, "But this place is big! How can you do it by yourself? Did he asked you to do this?" she referred to Dante.

"It's no big deal. Actually, all I did is roam around in this greenhouse. Everything in here are automated. So, I don't need to manually do things except for picking up flowers every week" he denied her concern.

"If your so concerned about it, how about you live me?"
