Chapter 3 O3

At the Thompson residence.

The dinning table was quiet. None of the Thompson ever speak while eating.

Maela the youngest of Thompson siblings. Gaze at the empty seat and press her lips.

After putting ther utensils down.

"Mae, how's your study going?" Nicholas Thompson ask his youngest daughter.

The eighteen year old blink. "It's going good." Maela answer.

"Father, tomorrow is the meeting between the Hans group." Matthew start.

"Your brother will deal with that." Nicholas said,

Mathew eyes darken. "Father, Rune King will also be there to collaborate with the Hans."

Mavis roll her eyes. "Are you questioning our brother ways he deals with business. I admit, that Run-I mean Rune is a formidable apponent. But Max have his ways."

Matthew stare at his older sister and scoffed. "The two of you are the same. Your infatuated with Rune while Max is infatuated with Eira."

"That's enough." Nicholas snap, glaring at his son and daughter. "Mavis I told you million of times. To stay away from those Kings."

Mavis glared at Matthew.

"Tomorrow I'll accompany Max, so he doesn't do anything stupid." Nicholas stood up and walk away.

Esther stare at her husband back. She then turned to her daughters and son. "In a few days the Davis will celebrate Anna Davis birthday. So be prepared." She said this to Mavis and Matthew.

They both nod.

Esther got up. "Mavis, let Max know."

"Yes mother." Mavis answer.

When Esther was out of sight, Mavis and Matthew got up and went there separate ways. Only Maela was left at the table.

She let out a sigh.

"Young ma'am," a maid came into the dinning room. She bow slightly showing her respect. "Your piano teacher is here.

Maela got up and walk to the music room.

"Mae," Mavis called.

Maela stop. "Yes?" She ask.

"What are you doing. Why don't you and I go shopping?" Mavis grin.

Mea stare at her sister. She was confused. Mavis never taking her shopping why now all of a sudden.

"I can't, I have piano class." Mae refused.

The corner of Mavis lips turn upward slightly. "So they're doing it to you. Turning you into the prim and proper daughter. After I rebel." Mavis laugh. "Mother and Father are so predictable."

Maela stare coldly at her sister. She's the youngest daughter, aren't the youngest suppose to be the one that could do anything without getting in trouble? Maela resent her sister.

Nicholas and Esther feel to turn Mavis into a respectful daughter, so they turn to Mae. Maela who had to abandon all her dreams just to please her parents by taking her sister place. While her sister live so care free.

Maela had no word to say to Mavis. She turn and continue walking. "Sister you should watch yourself."

"Excuse me?" Mavis ask.

Maela stop but didn't turn. "I heard you were thrown out of Kings Group today. Your shameless action is going to ruin our family. You and brother Max taking interest in those Kings. Ha" Maela laugh slightly. "Mind you get stab in the back. After all they are the grandchildren of a murderer."

Mavis stare at Maela back in shock. Did those word just came out of her quiet sister mouth. On top of that Mea tone of voice wasn't friendly at all.

Mavis shake her head.

Standing by the floor to ceiling window, shirtless. Max glow a puff of smoke. The scent of tobacco filled the room.

As he stare at the window. Max mind was only on a certain someone. "Eira," he called her name. A soft chuckled left his mouth.

"Sir, you sister called," Jason, Max's assistant walk in the living room of Max's mansion.

"What did she want?" Max ask turning slightly to see Jason. He didn't have to ask which sister Jason was talking about. Only one of them call him.

"Ms. Mavis said that your father would accompany to tomorrow meeting with the Hans group." Jason answer.

Max scoff.

"She also said that your mother want you to go to Anna Davis birthday party." Jason said. He went quiet.

Max never did like social events. "Isn't Anna Davis, Tyler's grandmother?" Max ask.

Jason nod. "Yes sir. I heard that the Kings were also invited.

"Ha," Max laugh. "The Davis have some guts. After what Tyler did to that Paris girl."

Jason clear his throat. "Her name is Priya, sir."

Max ignore Jason words. He was amuse.

Every elite family in New Orleans knows that Priya was loved by the Kings family.

"Call her and tell her I'll go." Max said.

Jason eyes widen in surprise but he quickly dismiss it and nod.

The Kings family is to proud to reject the invitation by the Davis family. Even if they don't like them, they would show their face.

Max lip crawl into a smirk.

Eira sat cross leg in Dexter study. She stare at the two man in front of her.

"What is it?" Eira ask getting annoyed.

Rune sat a cross from Eira giving her a dirty look. Eira stick out her tongue at him.

"Immature brat," Rune mutter.

Rune roll his eyes.

"Eira," Dexter started. "Tomorrow is the meeting with the Hans Group."

"Yeah, so?" Eira ask. She couldn't understand what the meeting with the Hans Group had to do with her.

"Rune is going in a business trip tomorrow-"

Eira cut in, "so you want me, to be a step in for my dear brother."

Dexter glance at his son who had a straight face then at his daughter.

"Dad, I have my own business. Why can't Ben take the meeting off Rune's hand?"

"Secretary Ben is also going on the business trip." Dexter said.

"Ha," Eira snorted and turn to her brother. "What is it Rune, a romantic vacation?"

The aura around Rune changs drastically. He turn to his sister giving her a death glare.

"I'll accompany you," Dexter smiled. "Don't worry."

Eira stood up, walking to the door. "Yeah." She open it and walk out.

Dexter sigh and turn to his son. "Rune don't pay any mind to your sister words. She's still young."

Rune stood, "whatever." He turn and walk out. Closing the door, he turn to walk away only to see his mom.

"Rune," Lana called his name in a less gentle voice.

"Mom," Rune greet Lana and start to walk pass her.

"Rune stop," Lana grab his wrist.

Rune stop and turn to stare at his mom.

"You have to go meet a woman five days from now. I don't want to hear that you sent secretary Ben again. Do you understand?" Lana ask her voice holding authority.

Rune blink his eyes and sigh. Every time he come home his mom always wants to send him on blind dates.

Lana smile when Rune nod.

"Okay, come let's go talk with me. We'll have tea and cookies." Lana drag Rune to the backyard.
