Chapter 510: 510 Double Date

Immediately Tom and Harry walked into the office, they walked over to the office cabinet where they had left their phones as they both liked to do during press conferences, and picked them up.

"Lucy called," Harry said as he lowered himself on the couch, when he saw the missed calls notification on his phone. Two of it were from Lucy, two were from Aurora, one from Philip, and a couple of others from some shareholders.

"She tried to reach me too but now she is not answering her calls," Tom complained with a concerned frown on his face as he sat down.

"You can keep trying to reach her while I return the calls of some shareholders. I guess they've seen Paul's video and were calling to find out if it's true," Harry said, as he excused himself.

"What's wrong?" Jade asked as she joined Tom. She had excused herself earlier to use the restroom.

"I'm worried. I've been trying to reach Lucy but she's not taking my call," Tom explained as Jade sat down beside him.

"She is probably out with Sonia. Sonia mentioned that Lucy was with her when we spoke earlier. According to Sonia she was going out for a meeting and then hanging out with Lucy after. So I suppose Lucy accompanied her to the meeting," Jade said reasonably, and Bryan looked at her with interest when he heard Sonia's name, and he went to sit with them.

Tom glanced at his wristwatch. The interview had taken two hours, and Lucy had called just some minutes after they left the office. That meant they should be done with their meeting soon.

"Did mom tell you what time their flight would be leaving?" Jade asked Tom.

"No. I haven't spoken with her since she called to inform me of Janet's arrest. Excuse me," Tom said when his phone started ringing and he walked away from there to another end of the office to receive the call of the shareholder who was calling.

"Lucy's mom was arrested? Are mom and dad going somewhere?" Bryan asked as he joined Jade.

Although she wanted to make a snide remark, she decided not to, "Yes, Lucy's mom was arrested, and yes mom and dad are coming back to Ludus..."

"Just because of me and Sonia? They are overreacting. It's not necessary...."

"Oh, please! The world does not revolve around you and your relationship," Jade said with a roll of her eyes.

"Then what are they coming for?" Bryan asked, glaring at Jade.

"Didn't you hear about Candace and Harry being twins?" Jade asked, and Bryan nodded.

"I heard Tom's staff talking about it. What's that about? And what has that got to do with mom and dad?"

"Harry is family. Candace and Jamal have been living under Tom's roof too and you know how they feel about the kid. Not forgetting that Lucy's mom is also their mother's twin sister," Jade said and Bryan looked at her in confusion.

"Lucy's mom is whose mother's twin sister?"

"Harry's and Candace's. Lucy is their cousin. Lucy's parents, including mom and dad are coming back for a family reunion," Jade said as she gave him a quick recap of everything that was happening, and Bryan sighed.

"Wow! That's a lot."

"Exactly. Everyone has a lot going on right now, and that is why we were all upset about your scandal. Although, now that we know why you got into a fight we are no longer mad at you about that, but I'm disappointed you handled things the way you did," Jade said, and Bryan sighed as he combed his fingers through his hair.

It just occurred to him that if his parents were traveling down, that meant Sonia would be alone. If Lucy had not traveled over to be with her, then Sonia would have been over there with no one beside her. He had left without even making sure she was alright when she had been ill just the day before.

He looked up just as Tom and Harry returned to join them after their respective phone calls.

"I don't have to be here until next week, do I?" Bryan asked, looking from Harry to Tom.

"Why? Are you going somewhere?" Tom asked as he returned to his seat, and Bryan nodded.

"Yeah. I need to go and resolve things with Sonia. I shouldn't have left the way I did, and I don't think I want to let this drag on longer than it has already," Bryan said, and Harry exchanged a look with Tom.

"You had your time to resolve things, but you lost it. You can't cut in on their girls time. Besides, she might come back with Lucy tomorrow...."

"You don't expect me to wait until tomorrow to clear this up, do you? They can have their girls time some other time. I need to set things right with Sonia," Bryan insisted and Tom thought about it only for a moment before reaching a decision.

"Alright," Tom said, and turned to Harry, "Since you called me a slave driver, do you mind if I use you?" Tom asked Harry, who raised a brow.

"I mind. You can't! Harry needs to get some rest!" Jade said with a scowl of disapproval, and Harry cast Jade an amused smile at her protectiveness.

"Stay out of it," Tom told Jade, and Harry scowled at Tom.

"Don't speak to her in that manner," Harry fired at Tom.

"She is my sister...."

"So what?" Harry asked, leaving Bryan speechless, while Jade smiled broadly as she went to stand beside Harry, and Tom sighed deeply as he shook his head.

"What do you want?" Harry asked Tom.

"I was supposed to take Lucy out on a date tonight, but I had to cancel for her to travel. She will be alone if..."

"Don't tell me you want to travel with Bryan just so you can take Lucy out on a date?" Jade asked incredulously.

"Yes, I plan to," Tom told Jade before returning his attention to Harry, "You can take an all-expense paid vacation to any place of your choice after the anniversary week," Tom offered.

"Deal. I will handle the shareholders as promised. Lucy deserves a break. I'm not doing this for you, I'm doing it for my darling cousin," Harry said, and shook hands with Tom.

"Since you're doing it for your darling cousin I don't need to send you on an all expense paid vacation, do I?" Tom asked, and Harry chuckled.

"What I meant was, my cousin is one of the reasons I'm accepting your offer of the all expense paid trip," Harry said before turning to Bryan.

"You can go. But when you come back, you have to tell me what's up with your best friend and his deal with my sister," Harry said smugly, and Bryan snorted.

"Like you told me your deal with my sister," Bryan said dryly as he stood.

"Hey! Don't talk to my boyfriend like that!" Jade snapped at Bryan.

"I'm not your boyfriend yet," Harry reminded her softly.

"It doesn't make any difference. We both know you will be soon," she said with a grin, while Tom shook his head.

"Keep shaking your oversized head that way and it's bound to fall off sooner than later," Harry promised.

"Whatever. I just spoke with Mr. Matthews. Who did you speak to?" Tom asked, and before Harry could respond, Bryan cut in.

"I will be waiting at the parking lot," Bryan said and walked out of the office in search of Jeff and Mia who had disappeared.

Tom and Harry spent the next couple of minutes discussing the details of Harry's meeting with the shareholders while Jade busied herself going through the interview articles that the reporters had now released.

"I will give Candace a call to let her know I can't pick them up. I will ask Adolf to do so," Tom said after he and Harry were done with their conversation and he was ready to leave.

"Don't worry about it. I will drop them off myself," Harry called after Tom who was already walking out of the office.

"Let's go," Harry said to Jade as it was just them both left in the office.

"I'm coming with you on your vacation, right?" Jade asked as she rose.

"No. You only just resumed your job. Does it make sense that you are going on a vacation already?" Harry asked as he led the way out of the office but before Jade could respond Harry's phone rang.

When Harry saw the identity of the caller he turned to look at Jade who was pouting, "It's your friend, Aurora," Harry said, and chuckled when he saw the annoyance on her face as he received the call.

"Hello, Harry!"

"Hey! I'm sorry I missed your call earlier, I was in the middle of something," Harry said politely.

"That's not a problem. I was calling to inform you that I just got into Ludus and...."

"Already? I thought you said you were not coming until next week?" Harry said, surprised by the news.

"Well, yeah. But something came up so I had to come earlier than I planned," Aurora explained.

"I see. Well, I..."

Before Harry could finish, Jade cut in, "Is that Aurora?" Jade asked innocently, and Harry raised a brow.

"Is Jade there with you?"

"Yes, she is. Do you want to say hello to her?" Harry asked when Jade extended a hand.

"Sure," Aurora said, and Harry handed the phone to Jade.

"Hey, Aura! What's up?" Jade greeted.

"I'm fine. I didn't know you were going down to Ludus else we could have traveled together," Aurora said pleasantly.

"Yeah. Something came up so I had to come to be with Harry. And I brought his t-shirt with me. I found it," Jade said pleasantly, and Harry shook his head.

"Oh, I see! Maybe we could meet up after my date with Harry," Aurora suggested, sensing that something was up between Jade and Harry.

"Or perhaps could we have a double date," Jade suggested, and Harry raised a brow.

"A double date? That will be great!" Aurora said, and then Jade returned the phone to Harry.

"What double date are you talking about?" Harry asked, looking at Jade like she had lost her mind.

"There is no way I'm letting my boyfriend go on a solo date with another lady," Jade said with a sweet smile as she walked away from him and Harry hurried after her, wondering what she was up to.
