"Watch your tongue, Mrs Lorenzo is here" Nicklaus quickly derided in an ambiguous tone as he glanced at him and curled his lips.Mrs Lorenzo??Dumbfounded, Samantha turned and looked at Penelope in disbelief. She has been working here for three weeks and no one ever mentioned that Penelope is Derek's wife! Besides, she never mentioned anything about her family."Would you like to have lunch with us, Mr President" Penelope asked with a smile."Sure" Nicklaus nodded."Please line up then"As the lined up, the four of them began to take their food. Other staffs in the cafeteria were not surprised about the President and Derek's appearance, because Nicklaus has the habit of having meals with other military and government officials as long as he was not busy.Samantha stood at the front while Nicklaus stood at the back as they filled their tray with food. When Samantha was done, she looked around and saw a vacant seat of four ten feet away from her but she did not dare to walk there on her
On the other end of the line, when Noah heard Samantha refused him, he immediately pouted sadly and tears welled up in his eyes, "You don't want to come? You don't like me anymore right?""Of course not" Samantha blurted out almost immediately. "I'm sorry, I can't come tonight. Take care of yourself and take medicine, Okay?""Come here when you're done with your things okay, I will wait for you okay?""Noah..." Suddenly, Samantha didn't know what she wanted to say. She cared about him but she couldn't go to the President's mansion everyday."You don't care about me anymore. You don't like me!""Noah...." Hearing his sad voice over the phone, Samantha was distressed but before she could say anything, the call was ended abruptly and all she could hear was a beeping sound.Looking at the phone on her hand, Samantha wanted to call him and explain the situation to him, but how could she put it into words?She wanted to visit him and make him pasta, but if she told him she couldn't do any o
One day, two days, three days, four days passed....Time passed by day after day. Samantha's felt extremely jittery, it was as if each day was a year long. Finally, a week passed. When she heard that Nicklaus had come back, she came to the Presidential residence very early and skipped to the gate to welcome his return delightfully as the bell rang, indicating his return.Standing at the back of the welcoming procession, Samantha looked up and saw four motorcycles opening the way abd right low key and luxurious black cars driving towards them in an orderly manner.Except for the people in the convoy, no one knows the car Nicklaus was in. Samantha guessed that he might be sitting in the first car.Sure enough, when the motorcade slowly drove to the entrance of the Presidential mansion, lined up and stopped, Robert got off from the front seat of the first car, walked to the door of the back seat and opened it respectfully. Then a pair of shinning black leather shoe appeared to everyone's
"Samantha what is wrong with you? Speak to me, Please?" Robert asked worriedly as he held her steadily.Samantha shook her head with her brows furrowed together, "I didn't....blergh..." Before she could finish her words, she felt a familiar sensation rising again. She covered her mouth and quickly snaked pass Robert who was in front of her, and continued to rush towards the ladies room."Samantha....." Robert turned around and tried to stop her. What happened to her? Why did she look so pale and sweaty? Before he could even ask, Sam had disappeared from his sight.Robert frowned. Before he bumped into Samantha, he was actually heading to the fourth floor. But now, he turned around and walked into the ladies room."Blergh...."When he came to the entrance of the washroom, he could immediately hear the sounds of vomiting. Without a doubt, it must be Samantha puking her guts out.With a worried look on his face, he gently knocked the washroom door, "Samantha are you okay?" He asked caref
"Well Dad, even though I force myself not to think about it, I still miss Pretty Lady every lady every day! I miss her presence, her smiles, and the fish pepper soup she made for me"In Leonardo's mansion, Noah was lying on Nicklaus' huge bed, his big pair of eyes gleaming like the black obsidian. Seeing that Nicklaus had finished taking a bath, he began to chatter incessantly.Nicklaus was away from home due to work. When Noah suggested that they should sleep together tonight, he had shockingly agreed. Therefore as soon as Noah finished taking his bath, he immediately settled down on Nicklaus' enormous bed and then proceeded to spread his stubby arms and feet like starfish.Nicklaus' hair was dripping wet when he came out of the bathroom in only boxers. Hearing a soft sigh coming from his bed, he glanced at his little rascal."Hey Dad, why do I have to be in my pajamas immediately after bath but you can wear so little instead?" Looking at Nicklaus' muscular and sculpted body, Noah c
Nicklaus hung up tbe phone, sat on one of his executive chair, and retrieved a document. However, he no longer have the mood to deal with official business. He was reluctant to work even if he force himself to do so.Since he wasn't in tbe right mind to work, he stood up, turn off the light and walked towards the bedroom.When he approached the bedroom, the door was already wide open. There seem to be no movement in the bedroom including the previous bulge under the duvet.Realizing something, Nicklaus stepped lightly and walked towards the bed without making a sound.As he got to the bed, he gently lifted the duvet that was covering little Noah's head. Noah had already fallen asleep and was breathing peacefully under the covers. Under the faint luminescence of the warm bedroom light, his fair and flushed face as well as delicate brows were very identical to that of Samantha. The corners of his mouth were slightly curbed even though he was sleeping.The boy must be having a good dream
Walking out of the President's mansion, Samantha didn't take a taxi but chose to walk along the sideway alone instead.Infact, a loner's life was much more comfortable sometimes, free and unrestrained. She could go wherever and do whatever she wanted to. She didn't need permission from anyone or care about anyone's feelings, she could just be herself freely.On the street, Samantha was worried that people would recognize her. So after leaving the president's mansion, she took out a pair of black glasses from her bag and put them on, which covered more than half of her face. This way, people won't probably recognize her unless they scrutinize her closely.Samantha walked down the street during peak hours. The street was bustling with people, there was bad traffic and everyone was rushing to go home on the sidewalk.Just then, the phone in her pocket vibrated. If was only when she took it out that she realized it was a call from the George's family.There would never be good news of the
Samantha couldn't hear a single peep from Noah and continue to Sprint towards the mall."Pretty Lady! Pretty Lady!" Noticing that she wasn't hearing him at all, Noah was getting a little anxious and leaned toward the open window, regardless of the fact that half of his head was being soaked by the rain, he was still trying to scream for her attention.After sending his urgency, Nikolai ordered the driver to stop the car at the front. Then he pulled Noah back from the window, wound it up, and yank a little tissue to wipe the rain off his head. As he was wiping, he scolded, "You've just recovered from the cold a few days ago. Do you want to worry grandma to death?"However, Noah was still thinking about Samantha so he broke free from Nikolai's hold and leaned on the window to look for her again.However, in just a few seconds, she had disappeared from the side walk.Unable to see Samantha anymore, he frantically asked for Nikolai's help, "Uncle where is Pretty Lady?"At once, Nikolai or
