Chapter 20

"What happened exactly?" Oliver asked.

"Well I told her to make my parents not to like her." Julian replied.

"Yeah you shouldn't have done that."

"Why not? I mean I can't think of anything else, and it's frustrating." Julian said. "I cannot do anything bad on my part because I don't want anything to hold the transfer of the company to me. Finally my parents are going to hand the company over to me, and if I do anything bad here, it's going to really messed things up for me." He continued.

"I understand that and that is why you need to relax and think about all this well." Gabriel said. "What about Lila? I am sure she is not taking all this lightly. And I also know your parents does not really like her much."

"I broke up with Lila."

"Wow, because of the whole engagement?"

"No, God I don't even want to think or talk about that right now." Julian took a big sip from the glass cup.

"She cheated on you." Oliver guessed.

"Yeah she did."

"Well you said you don't want to talk about it so I will leave it at that, you have a lot on your plate already." Oliver said. "Have any date been set on the engagement?"

"No but it's going to be soon." Julian replied.

"At least I am here now, we will figure something out but to be honest, will it be really that bad if you marry the girl, I mean she seems like a pretty decent person plus she saved your parent's lives."

"There is a lot I need to figure out and settle, you of all people know that, marrying is just going to scatter all that. And I have never thought of being with just one person for the rest of my life."

"So what exactly were you doing with Lila?"

"You should know that I never had any intention of marrying Lila. Yes I did really like her a lot but marriage, that is a whole new different thing."

"I don't know, maybe marriage isn't all that bad." Oliver said.

"You are one to talk, you are not marriage, and you don't even have a girlfriend."

"That is true but I am not against marriage like you, I am just being cautious trying to find the right person. With the kind of status we have, it's really hard to find the right person." Oliver said.

"Everything boils down to luck, because you can spend so much time trying find the right person but end up getting the worse person."

"You are right and that is why I don't think about it much." Oliver said. "And I think that it is for tonight, no more drinking." Oliver gave a sign to one of the bartender.

The bartender walked up to Julian and took the bottle of alcohol and the glass cup. "No, I am not done just a little bit more." Julian said, he was drunk.

"We will continue out talk another time, now you need to go home. I would offer to take you home but I still need to finish up something here." Oliver said.

"Don't worry about that, Henry is outside, he will drive me home." Julian.

"That is good."

Julian stoop up from where he was sitting and Oliver helped him stand well.

"Anyway, why is it just the both of us in the bar? Normally it's packed."

"I closed just for today because I came back, I will opened tomorrow." Oliver replied.

With Oliver's help, Julian walked out of the bar and they were now outside.

Henry was standing next to the car as Julian and Oliver walked up to the car. Julian entered the car and Oliver closed the door.

"Thank you master Oliver." Henry said to Oliver.

"No need to thank me." Oliver said. "And how are you doing?"

"I am fine." Henry replied. "How is the business going?" He asked.

"It's going fine."

"That is nice to hear Master Oliver."

"I am curious, why are you driving Julian?" Oliver asked.

"The masters asked me to. With the whole engagement, his parents thought that it would be good to keep an eye on him so he doesn't do anything too intense." Henry replied.

"Alright then. I think we will be seeing each other often."

"Certainly Master Oliver. Goodnight."

"Goodnight." Oliver replied.

Henry entered the car and drove off while Oliver went back to his bar.

*******************************

Emma's alarm went off, and because of the sound, she woke up, it was 7am. She got off her bed and immediately went to the bathroom to take a shower.

The shower was a quick one, and when she finished with that she thought of changing what she would wear to work today.

So she look through wardrobe well and brought out a white shirt and black trousers. It was formal so she did not mind it.

It did not take much time for her to put the clothes on, then she grabbed one of her handbag and went out of her room.

She was now in her living room, she thought about what to eat so she went to her kitchen but there was nothing to eat and she did not want to waste anytime cooking something.

She decided to go to work without eating which was normal for her. She left her apartment and locked it with her key, then went out of her apartment building.

Now she was out on the road side trying to stop a taxi which she did eventually. The taxi stopped and she got into it. "Omnicore please." She said to the driver.

The driver started to drive and Emma was on her way to work. She felt somewhat relieved, finally she was going to work where things was going to be normal and where she would be in control.

The driver stopped, "We are here." The driver said to Emma.

Emma opened her purse and brought out some money, "Thanks." She gave the money to the driver.

She got out of the taxi and now she was in front of Omnicore, but then she felt hungry, "This is rare." She said to herself.

She knew that if she works in the condition she was in now, she will not be able to work well. She started to walk but not in the direction of Omnicore.

She stopped in front of a coffee shop which was across the road from Omnicore. She decided to get coffee before going to work, she had some time to spare so she was not worried.

Without wasting time she entered the coffee shop. Inside was big and it was filled with people.

This was not her first time in the coffee shop, because of her habit of not eating sometimes before going to work, she comes to the coffee shop often.

She had one mission in the coffee shop and that was to get her coffee and leave but as she walked up to the counter, someone called her name.

Emma turned to the direction she heard her name and she saw Oliver.

For a moment Emma did not recognize him but then she remembered his body after he dived into the pool to save her phone.

"It's you." Oliver came up to her.

"Hey." Emma said.

For Emma it was a weird coincidence meeting Oliver here, she thought that she would not see him again.
