Chapter 83: OH, SH*T!
Chapter 83: OH, SH*T!
Lexus sighed heavily in front of Ramon's office door, he remembered Lis's words again that told him to go to Ramon and make his brother go and see Hailee trying her wedding dress.
"Hhh... why me? Why don't you just call Ramon and ask him to come yourself?" grumbled Lexus irritably. Didn't their mother know about Ramon's steel-hard nature? Isn't he so famous for his stubbornness?
It had been about two full minutes that Lexus was standing there, staring at the door of Ramon's office, as if by doing that, he could complete the task Lis had assigned him for.
"Sir, would you like to come inside?" asked a woman who had a document in her hand.
Lexus did not answer immediately, he fixed his gaze on the papers in the hands of Silvana, Ramon's secretary.
"What are they?" Lexus asked, nodding at the papers.
"Oh, I want to ask for a signature for a project in district 5," replied Silvana, glancing at the documents she was carrying.
"Oh, a project in district 5…" Lexus muttered, then a thought flashed in his head. Looked like he really needed a reason and encouragement to carry out the mission Lis gave him. "Let me ask for Ramon's signature."
"Oh, but..." Silvana was a little reluctant.
"Ramon is in a bad mood," Lexus said, even though he actually didn't know what kind of mood Ramon was in right now, which he knew, his brother was still fine this morning. He just hoped that was still the case now. "If you really want to face him, no problem." Lexus shrugged his shoulders indifferently. "But, I also happen to be discussing the project in district 5..."
Hearing that, Silvana seemed to think for a moment, considering Lexus's offer which seemed very attractive. It's not like Ramon was going to curse her or anything, but if the boss was in a bad mood, it would be nice to take a step back.
Ramon rarely showed his true emotions, because most of the time, he would always appear calm and dignified, but if he was indeed in a bad mood, Silvana should accept Lexus' offer.
"Sorry sir, can I ask for a favor..." Silvana said shyly as she thrust the document in to the latter's hands.
"Okay, now you can go back to your place," Lexus said sourly. Now that he had a reason to meet his brother, it only took a push to open this door and make Ramon go to Margaretha Lamos's boutique...
Well, that did sound easy, if Ramon agreed right away.
"Thank you." After saying that, Silvana immediately went back to her seat.
Here we go…
Lexus thought as he pushed the door open.
"Bro!" he exclaimed with a cheerful face, walking quietly toward Ramon's desk and the person in question was staring at his laptop screen with an expressionless face.
Okay.
The usual mood, check.
Facial expression looked good, check. Because that expressionless face was Ramon's standard expression.
"Hm?" Ramon muttered, without distracting himself from whatever he was doing now.
Ramon answered his call, check. Good, eeverything looks normal.
"I brought you a document regarding a project in district 5 that you must sign," Lexus told Ramon, then placed the document in front of his brother, while he sat himself on the chair opposite him.
"Okay," Ramon gave a short response and checked the documents he was about to sign. However, noticing that Lexus did not move from where he was sitting, the man lifted his head and looked at his younger brother. "Anything else?"
"Nothing…" Lexus shook his head quickly, but then he pretended to be surprised and reached into the cell phone he had put in his trouser pocket. "Oh, who messaged me?" He then opened the message his mother had sent him earlier.
Ramon ignored the gesture and turned his attention back to the documents in his hand, but the silence didn't last long, because shortly afterward, Lexus exclaimed excitedly.
"Bro! Look, look at this! Mother just sent me this!" Lexus immediately jumped up from his seat and approached Ramon excitedly, a cheerful smile on his face as he shoved his cellphone under Ramon's nose. "See! Hailee is trying on evening dresses for your wedding!"
On Lexus's cellphone screen, Ramon could see Hailee in a white dress that looked cute and fit her petite frame. Her straight black hair was let loose and covered part of her face. It seemed that Hailee didn't even notice that she was being photographed and was talking to a staff member with a small smile on her lips.
Ramon had to admit that Hailee was not the most beautiful woman he had ever met, Giana looked much more mature than Hailee, the type of woman who was much more suitable when paired to a businessmen like Ramon.
It's just that, there was something in Hailee that made other people feel at home. Whether it's her character that looked carefree and seemed not to be bound by the standard rules of socialites, or the way she expressed herself and carried herself well.
Whatever it was, Ramon felt much more comfortable with the girl by his side. However, Ramon was still wondering, how would he feel about Giana? Would it be the same way he was feeling for Hailee? Or even more? Given that he was willing to risk their status and a big risk in a relationship with her.
Then what if once his memory returns? Will the feelings he has for Giana come back too?
"Are you sure mom just sent this photo?" Ramon glanced at Lexus who was standing beside him and saw his little brother nodding firmly.
"Yes, mom just sent it, I'm just surprised why she sent this photo to me instead of you, she must be annoyed because you didn't come to see Hailee trying her clothes and..." However, Lexus's long chatter was cut short and the rest of his sentence was swallowed up when he heard what Ramon said afterward.
"If mom just sent you the photo, why does it show you received the message half an hour ago?" Ramon nodded at Lexus's cellphone which was still under his eyes.
Oh, sh * t!
Lexus cursed and hurriedly pocketed his cellphone back when Ramon turned the chair around and glared at him.
"Mother told you to come here to persuade me to come to Margaretha Lamos's place." It wasn't a question, but a statement and Ramon guessed it very precisely.
Oh, sh * t again!
Lexus really couldn't stop feeling cornered by his brother! Can't he be fooled for just once?!
