Chapter 3 WHY ARE YOU SO EAGER TO MEET HIM

Danny shook her head playfully at Vicky's behavior. These two never stopped pulling each other's legs and never ceased to amuse her. Vicky moved closer to her and touched her forehead before sitting beside Sara.

"How was your day?" He asked her.

"The worst!" Sara retorted, "I had to work double time."

"That must have been because you offended Lilah," Danny said.

"What I did can't even be counted as an offense, mum. I was just looking through the window and nothing more than that but when she came along, she accused me of wanting to steal the mansion. How ridiculous! I tried to prove her wrong but guess what? I was thrown into the basement to work double time. I missed the opportunity to see...oops, mum, guess what?"

"For the second time," Vicky muttered and Danny chuckled.

"No idea, just blow it up."

"Alfred is back." She announced.

"Alfred is back?" Danny looked confused.

"Who is Alfred?" Vicky questioned.

"Madam's son, the one rumored to have disappeared fifteen years ago, do you remember now?"

"That Alfred? That's good news."

"Uhm...why is it? I don't get it." Vicky raised his hand to signify that he was clueless about what was going on.

"You don't need to. I will explain it to you later. I got the information this morning but because of my punishment, I couldn't see him. Well, tomorrow is another new day." Sara picked up her white cross bag and was about to leave for her room.

"Why are you so eager to meet him?" Vicky's sudden question stopped her before she could bounce off. She turned dumb for a while and coughed.

"Is there any law against it?" She said and left.

Vicky gave his mum a 'what the hell?' look.

"Just let it be, get her something to eat," Danny instructed him. He nodded and stood up to go to the kitchen.

Alfred was sitting on his bed with his laptop placed on it. On the screen were the faces of two men, Archie and Arthur, the sons of powerful individuals. Alfred had no shirt on as he lay bare on the bed.

"So, what do you two suggest? Should we go clubbing?" Arthur Bruce asked.

"Nah, my dad is gonna throw a welcome party for Archie and me tomorrow evening," Alfred responded.

"Apart from that, I am as tired as f*ck, do you think those training were easy, huh?" Archie asked.

"Stop talking as if you were the only one who had to go through training. I went through the underground one as well." Arthur retorted.

"Whatever your words are, we are seeing tomorrow right?" Alfred interrupted.

"Wouldn't miss it for the world."

"Yeah, after that we are going to plan our clubbing. I can't wait to have those sexy vixens to myself." Archie replied dreamily.

"Same here."

"I concur. Goodnight."

"Whoa...whoa...whoa, easy there, Bigfoot. There is still something I have to say." Arthur said.

"Okay."

"I have noticed that Vegan has been buying a lot of weapons these days and he is doing it secretly. I have my suspicions though." Arthur spoke.

Alfred only stared at the screen while thinking. If Vegan was taking such steps then something wasn't right and it could be dangerous for everyone because nothing good came from him and his family.

"So, what do we do?" Archie asked.

"We will continue to spy on his movement, he has nothing good to offer and he is a poisonous snake. Arthur, try to find out where these weapons are being brought from and make sure that your traces are not seen then give the information to Archie to deal with. I will try to think of the next step." Alfred gave out his instructions.

"Okay then. Goodnight."

The conversation finally ended for the night. Alfred stared at the space in front of him, he was trying to figure out what Vegan could be up to, he just arrived back after so many years and this guy has started creating trouble for him but no matter what, he aimed to outwit Vegan's plans at all cost.

The next morning, Sara had woken up as early as she could. It wasn't her shift for the morning, it was until noon before she would leave. She looked at her side clock, it just struck 7 am so she rolled on her bed lazily and blinked her eyes multiple times. Then it dawned on her that she was to update her stories that day so she rose from the bed and picked up her phone to go through her sites.

Sara was a signed author on an app, a blogger who had her official website, and sometimes would take ghostwriting jobs. This was her talent and gift as she had been doing this since she was a teenager. She went to her playlist and played a song by Charlie Puth featuring Jungkook of BTS, left and right, to help her get ready for the day.

She quickly updated a few more chapters and talks on her sites before she went offline. Today was a huge day as Lilah had told them last night to be present for tonight's event. The Francisco family would be throwing a welcome party for their son and many wealthy honorary guests would be available.

Sara finally considered this to be a good chance of seeing Alfred again. Her phone rang and this jolted her from her thoughts. It was her second friend, Vanessa, calling.

"Hey, Van."

"You finally picked up my call, babe."

"I never missed it and you didn't call twice."

"Whatever you say, darling. Are you at home?" Vanessa asked. Sara could hear the rustling sound from something on her friend's side.

"Yeah, my shift starts at noon. What are you doing?"

"Great. I am unwrapping an order that I made but anyway, I am coming over." Vanessa hung up and Sara shook her head while smiling.

"Vanessa indeed."
