CHAPTER 64: SIT TIGHT FOR A RIDE
The sky outside was already dark signaling that it was already late but the gentle breeze blowing complimented the night. The spring night was really splendid.
“Wow, Mr. Douglas thanks so much for the food I enjoyed myself, “Olivia says, rubbing her stomach and they all laugh at her action.
She really was a joker.
“It is no problem at all and if you want I can always treat you to dinner every day,” Douglas says and Frederick shakes his head at his friend’s hidden intentions of saying that. He was just doing too much.
“I will be very much obliged…”Olivia was saying but she was cut off by Victoria.
“A dinner is enough to show your kindness sir I do not think we need to trouble him again”Victoria quickly says before her gluttony friend sells her out again.
“Then we will be taking our leave now,” Frederick says, turning his back and walking away like a royal but Olivia’s loud voice stops him.
“What to do? We did not bring our car and the sky is dark already and we are just two helpless girls. How are we going to get home, “Olivia says, stamping her foot on the ground. Douglas wanted to squeeze her in a hug for what she said.
She really was an angel
“The sky was already getting dark when we get here so, do not tell me you were not expecting us to go home by ourselves, “Victoria says through gritted teeth already aware of the trick her friend is going to pull and I think that was the price to pay for having a reporter as a friend they always have something up their sleeve.
“But we can not possibly trek home so, I think we can just ask sir Douglas or sir Frederick for a ride,” she says, also mentioning Frederick’s name so her plan won’t be discovered but Victoria sees through it anyway.
“And I will be much obliged to give you ladies a ride, “Douglas says, bowing his head like a prince from the 80s.
“Ollie” Victoria called through gritted teeth “There is something called a cab and people use it to commute we can also call that to go home so, you better do not make me mad”Victoria whispered into her friend’s ear Olivia shivered and Douglas and Frederick wondered what Victoria says to her.
“We will just call a cab,” Olivia says, picking up her phone scared of her friend’s fury but she finds out that her phone runs out of battery.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“Wow my phone is out of battery,” she says, rather excited for someone that her phone went out . Victoria got so mad just looking at her silly friend, and Douglas could not help but grin while Frederick was just getting entertained by what was going on.
They sure are entertainers to him
“Since yours is dead, mine is still very much on, so I will do the calling, ” Victoria suggested and she picked up the phone to make the call but that was snatched away from her by Douglas.
“Mr. Smith what did you just do?”Victoria asked through gritted teeth but politely not trying to sound rude to the young master in front of her.
“I can get you home safely without a hitch, “Douglas says pointing to his car Olivia got so excited looking at the latest Mercedes Benz but her excitement got shortened by Olivia’s glare.
“You don’t have to worry about that sir because I am scared we might stain your beautiful car,” Victoria says, coming up with a good excuse and Frederick simpers after hearing that.
She just does not want the trouble of the young rich man but she knows the man would not let her be.
“Don’t be ridiculous Tori, how are we going to stain his car when we are not covered in mud? “Olivia says Victoria glares at her and she also glares back but after some time, Victoria gives in.
“Since Mr. Douglas is asking then I won’t stand on ceremony,” she says and they all hurried into Douglas’s car and Frederick bade them goodbye going to his car too.
“It’s really good to be rich,”Olivia whispered to Victoria when they entered the car and she glared at her to shut up.
The car was the latest Mercedes Benz and the interior was so extravagant that Olivia was tempted to not sit down on the seat.
Victoria rolled her eyes at her friend’s childishness but can she really blame she was also tempted not to sit but she would not want to look like a country pumpkin.
“Sit tight for a lovely ride ladies,” Douglas says and Victoria rolls her eyes at his dramatic acts while Olivia giggles like a kid.
She was really happy about the set up but what can she do? She just has to enjoy the moment.
