The Bride Of The Billionaire
Chapter 32: Threat
It's been three days since my family go back to our province. We had fun at our previous days, I had enough with the days I and my family spend with the effort of Raze and mommy Rousey yet I'm bothered.
I keep receiving threats from the unknown and a warning from Mr. Rance that I must leave and forget Raze or else he will do it forcedly himself. Selfish!
I'm getting scared each day and I don't know what exactly to do. However, Raze's smile and everything he do made me want to fight.
"Ranz I'm going out for a bit, I'm just going to meet someone at the café nearby." I informed him before I leave.
I'm going to meet Raze's father and I'm kinda tensed about it. I check my face through my reflection at my phone screen, well, I'm fine it's just that my heartbeat concerns me.
Luckily, Raze isn't around because he is busy so I don't have to worry about where I go. Mr. Rance didn't allow me to tell Raze about everything so I really have to zip my mouth.
I booked a taxi and arrived at the café after only 10 minutes. The place was a bit crowded so. I hardly search him until someone approach me and ask my name then lead the way as he confirms that I'm Lorence.
The atmosphere change as I step near the garden. He choose open air and it's only three of us around plus the waiter nearby like waiting to be called. I saw Mr. Coleman sitting comfortably there with a man behind him, his guard maybe.
"Just continue ma'am" the man who accompanied me spoke as I slowed my steps then he turn his back, leaving me nervously.
I heavily step my feet closer and greet him as I arrived. "Good afternoon Mr. Coleman!"
"Have a sit Lorence" everything he said makes my insides tremble though he is doing nothing. Gush!
"Coffee?" He added.
"A-ah! Sure sir, thanks!"
"Here's the menu book" he is not intimidating this time.
"I want dalgona sir"
"Okay! Waiter, please give her dalgona coffee and give me more tea." The waiter comes close and bow before he continue to leave.
"Sir, why you invite me here?" I ask straightly. I wanna leave now.
"We could talk about that later!"
"How's Raze?" He continue while looking at me like he was a scanner.
"He is fine sir, he is doing great though I sense that something's off and I feel like he is hiding something from me!" I honestly answer, waiting for him to say what I want to hear.
"I see, he is still selfless." He responded and smile, suddenly my heartbeat calms like I'm just talking to my dad.
"What do you mean sir?"
"No need for you to know. Anyway, what did you like about my son?" That's unexpected question.
"About him? He was so rude, ungentleman, grumpy, intimidating, cold and crazy yet I'm wrong. He has something inside him that can make every girls fall in love. Actually, I don't really know how to answer your question sir. I can't find the exact word to explain or I don't really have to explain. I love him and that's it" I manage to answer him and I sounds like insane.
"Okay, how's he as a boss?" He sounds like he don't know what his son's like. Is he playing around?
"He is very kind, thoughtful and the most awesome boss sir. He grow like a perfect fruit and you're the tree sir."
"I'm the tree? You're wrong at that part. If he was a fruit of me then why he is a grapes while I'm an apple? We're pretty much different." He replied seriously then he lean at the backrest and sigh like he has a deep thought.
I didn't respond. He is right, Raze was far different that him. They're far from being similar yet everyone has their own character and traits.
After a minute the waiter came with his tray. I hope I won't palpitate because of dalgona.
"Thanks!" I utter as the waiter place my dalgona.
Why I sense that he is a good father? Maybe he is not strong enough to drop off his pride, to show Raze that he already accept the past.
I don't know but I can see in his eyes the change as he ask about Raze. It's full of love and concern.
"Lorence my next question doesn't make sense but I still want you to answer it. Do you think Sabrina and Raze will do great like they're compatible for each other?" Like what he said his question doesn't make any sense.
"Maybe they are because you're risking everything just to make them together. Both of them can create different world through properties, power and fame but my parents taught me one thing and that is we cannot buy everything, not all the time those what I mentioned earlier can make us happy. Sometimes all we need is a priceless love, attention and effort to make every new day more unforgettable and also memorable." I answer straightly then look at the sky, it's bright and clear though it's already noon time.
"I'm selfish and greedy Lorence. I can't break a compact. Haaa!" He took a deep sigh before he sip his tea. I think I understand what he have done. If I'm not mistaken it's about the engagement of Raze and Sabrina, he had no choice or he set aside all the choices?
"It's fine sir. We can decide for our future and everything will work if the fate won't mess up!" We exchange answers more calm, serious and honest this time until...
