‘Felix left already,’Nicholas said, taking off his gasses. Nicholas looked at Audrey. ‘Are you all right?’
Audrey shook her head. ‘No. my friend is in the hospital,’Audrey said, picking up a spoon from a fancy tray. She took a few bites of the pineapple rice before her, then, she took a brief sip of her water melon juice and stood up to leave. ‘I should go.’
Celine frowned. ‘I haven’t had enough…’
‘Is okay, I will bring you to school,’Nicholas offered.
Celine strode over and gave her dad a big hug. ‘Wow, this is the first time you are offering to bring me to school. Who would imagine that the senate president would bring me to school? Audrey, you got your phone? Please, help me record this moment.’
‘There will always be a next time. I am in a hurry to leave.’Audrey turned her head and said.
Celine took out her phone from her rucksack and handed it to Isabelle.
‘Mum, take a picture of us.’
‘What about me?’Isabelle asked with a chuckle as she took the phone. She walked over to stand beside Nicholas, not wanting to miss this opportunity, leaning her head on his shoulder, she asked a maid to take the picture for them instead. Smiling, Celine held her mother’s arm, and with the other free hand, she made a peace sign and their picture was taken. Then, they went back to eat.
Meanwhile, Audrey selected a black Maserati from the garage and drove to City Hospital where Chioma was admitted. On the way, she messaged Michael, ‘Big brother Michael, Felix’s girlfriend is in the hospital. She was attacked by unknown men.’
Michael had received the message in the middle of a meeting. Concerned about his couisin, Michael paused the meeting he was doing, causing the higher-ups to look each other in surprise. He was a god-like person with a great influence. Ignoring the reactions of those around him, he quickly replied to Audrey, ‘She is the girl you found for Felix?’
