BXBX NOVEL Chapter 69: ROMANTIC DINNER (2)
Chapter 69: ROMANTIC DINNER (2)
And sure enough, just as Hailee expected, Lexus had forgotten what Hailee ordered him and was so focused on the problems in the office.
The news of Roland Dimatrio\'s arrest and the fact that it mentioned Central Bank in its report, had little effect on them, although it was not very influential, but it did leave some people with work for extra hours.
Unfortunately, Danny and Lexus were included in that group of people, while Ramon had to finish his delayed meeting yesterday because he suddenly canceled it to go to town R.
Everything was sudden and unexpected, but everything was still under Ramon\'s control.
However, Lexus still hadn\'t got the news he wanted about Ramon and Roland Dimatrio.
Lexus couldn\'t just ask Danny, because the two of them didn\'t really get along, so here he was; struggling with this seemingly endless work.
"Ah, I\'m hungry!" said Lexus as he handed the last document to Ramon and stretched out his stiff muscles.
"You can order food," said Ramon indifferently. It was half past ten, but Ramon had absolutely no intention of letting his younger brother go home.
"About dinner..." Lexus was about to argue when something crossed his mind about dinner and he started to gasp. "Oh, my god!"
Hearing the panicked voice of his younger brother, Ramon turned his head only to find a dumbfounded Lexus. "What is wrong?" he asked. Instinctively, he then took the document that Lexus had handed over, thinking that his younger brother had done something wrong.
However, Lexus immediately grabbed Ramon\'s hand and put away the document and looked at his brother closely.
"What?" asked Ramon impatiently. Lexus was starting to act weird again and this was worrying.
"I forgot to tell you," he said with a frowning expression.
"What did you forget?" asked Ramon suspiciously. The first thing that came to his mind was; Lexus had messed up again.
"I forgot to say that Hailee will make dinner and now she\'s waiting for you at home to eat together." Lexus grimaced as he glanced at the digital clock on Ramon\'s desk and the number showed that it was past dinner time.
The wrinkles on his forehead deepened when Lexus saw the change in the expression on Ramon\'s face when he looked in the same direction as Lexus.
"You forgot?" Ramon asked softly, turning his attention to Lexus.
Oh, crap! This is not a good sign.
"Sorry," said Lexus softly.
==============
After hearing what Lexus said, of course Ramon could not immediately leave his office because there were a number of things he had to finish right away.
But, Ramon finished it as fast as he could and returned home.
Not because Ramon cared about Hailee, but because the latter was just sick yesterday and the doctor advised him to take care of her diet, and Ramon was also very sure that the girl would not eat before he came home.
At the very least, that was the excuse Ramon gave himself when he was in the car driving toward the Tordoffs\'.
In less than an hour, Ramon was at his doorstep, while someone was driving his car into the garage.
"Where is she?" Ramon asked the first servant he saw. It was the first sentence he said as soon as he set foot in the house.
Of course, the maid knew who Ramon was referring to.
"Miss Hailee is in the study," replied the maid in a low, polite voice.
At first, Ramon thought the girl was already in her bedroom, if that was the case, he could breathe a sigh of relief, or maybe still be in the kitchen and decide to eat her food alone, that too was a good choice.
Upon learning of Hailee\'s whereabouts, Ramon immediately stepped toward his study, although he was a little surprised; what Hailee was doing in there?
With long strides, Ramon reached the front of his study and immediately pushed the door open.
Before Hailee\'s arrival, this room was a place that was very rarely visited, except for Ramon, especially when he didn\'t want to be disturbed.
The second most private room in this house after his room. But now, it seemed that Hailee was here more often than himself...
As soon as Ramon opened the door, he found Hailee staring at him from behind the table, her expression not showing any emotion, so it was hard for Ramon to guess what she was thinking.
For a moment, Ramon didn\'t know what to say, so he walked over and stood opposite Hailee with only the table separating the two of them.
For a moment there was silence and no one wanted to open their mouth first, until finally Hailee exhaled heavily and said in a low voice.
"I made dinner, but it must be cold by now," she said grumpily.
"Lexus forgot to tell me that," replied Ramon.
Hearing his reply, Hailee\'s eyes widened and she stood up suddenly, her expressionless face from just a moment ago, turned into one that was full of rage.
"I knew it!" she said in a loud enough voice, if only Lexus were there, maybe Hailee had thrown something from the table at him. "He must have forgotten to tell you!"
"Hm," Ramon muttered, confirming Hailee\'s statement and then watching the girl grumble. Ramon waited until Hailee threw herself back on the chair and her grumbling stopped. "Have you eaten?" he asked.
And Hailee shook her head. "I am waiting for you."
Ramon had expected that answer.
"But I guess the food isn\'t good anymore,"Hailee said softly.
"Didn\'t the doctor tell you that you have to adjust your diet?" asked Ramon, narrowing his eyes in displeasure.
He didn\'t want to see Hailee fall ill again, because he thought it was troublesome if he had to stay at the hospital, not to mention that Ramon was fed up with the place.
"Yes, I know…" Hailee grumbled. "I also don\'t intend not to eat..."
Seeing Hailee who looked down and awry, Ramon could only sigh. "Come here,"
"Why?" Hailee immediately raised her head and followed the man\'s orders, and in a matter of seconds, she was standing in front of Ramon with questioning eyes. "What is wrong?"
Ramon then turned Hailee around and pushed her toward the door. "You can reheat the dish, I\'m also hungry and haven\'t eaten."
