Chapter 3

The next morning, Victoria was seating on the couch staring at the phone in her hand. She didn't know whether it was right or wrong, but, she has to do it at any cost.. After all, her brother's life depends on it.

She sent Vincent to school already. so, there should be no problem at all, unless he falls sick again at school. The school authority already knows about his situation and hopefully, nothing would happen.

She took the card those men left her yesterday. This is the first time she looked at it closely. But, there was nothing much information. Only a name Alexander King and a number.

"Alexander King.." She chanted the name. She felt it familiar. But, couldn't remember where she heard it. She again looked at it "that means Mr. King's full name is Alexander King.." She murmured to herself.

Taking a deep breath, she finally dialed the number displayed on the card. The phone started ringing. And after a few rings, the phone was picked up and a calm and gentle voice came from the other side "hello.."

Victoria swallowed the lump in her throat. "H.. Hello? Umm... Can I speak to Mr. King?" She asked nervously. Though she already knows it's him.

"Speaking.." Alexander replied. He also knows who it is.

"Well, uuhm. It's me, Victoria Hale, Mr. King.."

"Yes, Miss Hale?" He asked with the same tone.

"I umm... I just call you to inform you that I agree with your offer. Mr. King, can I meet with you?" She asked, hesitant.

There was a brief pause before he spoke "okay, I am sending my driver to pick you up.."

"You don't have to do this Mr. King. I can manage. Just send me the address.." She replied.

Again another moment of silence, then he said "it's okay Miss Hale. My man will pick you up.." His voice was gentle but stern. It was obvious he would not agree with her.

Moreover, she doesn't want him to give up on her because of her stubbornness. So, she obliged him "o..okay, Mr. King.."

He hung up. Victoria stared at the phone for sometimes "is it right what I am going to do? I don't have any idea. I just wish, everything goes well.." She murmured to herself.

Almost half an hour later, there was a knock on the floor. "Who is it?" Victoria asked.

"Ma'am, I am the driver. Mr. King sent me.." The man replied.

Victoria open the door and found a middle-aged man, dressed like a chauffeur, standing in front of her. He bowed and said "Good Morning, ma'am. I am John Lewis.. I will drive you to Mr. King.." He said with a polite but professional smile on his face.

Victoria did not expect this kind of welcome. She was surprised by his behaviour. His suit is much more expensive than her whole freaking apartment! Forget about her clothes!! "Umm. Thank you, Mr. Lewis.. Just call me Victoria.."

He smiled politely "Madam is so kind. But, I certainly wouldn't dare to do that. And call me Chauffeur Lewis madam.."

"O, umm okay. L.. let's go.." Dumbstruck by the reply, she somehow managed to speak.

"Sure madam, please.." He bowed again and led her to the car.

Seeing the car, her eyes almost popped out of their socket in shock! It's not just a car!! A freaking rolls Royce was standing in front of her!! Well more precisely, money was standing in front of her!!

All the people were staring at the car and her. After all, this is a slum area and people who lived here are poor hard workers. In this area, people hardly saw any cars, forget about rolls Royce!!

Suddenly, she regretted it. She regretted agreeing with him for sending the car. It's an outrageous embarrassing situation for her!! Her ears turned red in abashment.

And on top of that, the chauffeur Lewis was much more forward. He opens the door for her "please madam.." All the people were now watching her with wide eyes.

She quickly hopped into the car to avoid the awkwardness. After they left the area, Victoria finally relaxed and observed her surroundings.

The car is so gorgeous from the inside. She has seen rolls Royce from the outside, this is the first time she is inside this amazing car.. Victoria always has some weakness in cars. She just loves fancy and royal-looking cars.

Half an hour later, after a smooth ride in the luxurious car, they finally reached their destination.

Chauffeur Lewis came out on her side and held the door open for her "we are here madam.."

Victoria went out and her jaw almost hit on the floor. It's a dam mansion!! That means he was not kidding with her. He actually has enough money to do whatever his mind says!!

Suddenly, she felt sad. Why do some people have everything and some don't have anything!? Isn't it too unfair to those people who have to work hard like an ass to manage three times of meals a day!? Well maybe, God has decided to happen things the way it is.

"Madam, please go inside.." Chauffeur Lewis said from behind.

"Uh, yes. Won't you go?" Victoria asked back.

He smiled and shook his head. "No madam, this is my limit. You will find other people inside who will lead you to Mr. King.." Saying, he got into the car again and drove away.

Victoria hesitated for a moment and then finally stepped into the mansion. When she reached the big posh entrance door of the mansion, the door opened and another middle-aged man appeared.

He is wearing a dress like a butler. He also bowed and spoke with a polite smile "bonjour, mademoiselle. Welcome to the King's Palace. I am butler Adam Celeste. Please come inside.." He said and move aside to let her in. Though he did not have to because ten people can go inside together, that's how big it is!! But, she did not say anything.

He has a heavy French accent and his greetings made sure that he is from France.

"Umm. Thank you, Mr. Celeste.." Victoria thanked him politely. She is in total confusion with the welcomes she is getting!! It's out of her imagination!!

"Oh my! Don't need to call me Mr. Celeste dear. Just call me uncle Celeste. Young master also called that. Let me take you to him. He is waiting for your arrival.." He said and led her the way.

Victoria blinked a few times and then quickly follow him. They stepped into the house elevator. It was big enough to fit enough more than ten people easily!! He pressed the 5th-floor button and stood still.

A few minutes later, they were standing in front of a luxurious oak door. Uncle Celeste knock on the door and said "Young master, madame is here.."

After a second the same gentle but sexy voice came "hmm... Let her in.."
