Chapter 622 - California Business Trip Part 1 (1/2)
Gabriel reached her daughter's hand as they walked toward the waiting limousine. The valet opened the door for them, and she entered first and went to the seat and settled. She took the champagne and opened it. Gabriel sat on the other side and he took out his phone to call someone.
”Wifey, we are at the airport. Where do you want to meet us tomorrow?”
”Secret. I'll surprise you.”
”I don't like surprises.”
”You do. I'll meet you tomorrow.”
”Okay. I love you.” Gabriel mumbled.
”I love you more,” Sabrina responded and he hung up.
”Isn't it too early to drink that?” Gabriel frowned at her.
”I am thirsty.” She told and then, she took the champagne flute and a long silver needed and place it there as she poured the champagne on it.
”Your mom is somewhere in New York.” He told. ”She'll be with us tomorrow.”
”How about the triplets? Who is attending them?”
”They are big boys. No need for a nanny.” He took out the business magazine and flipped it.
After confirming that the champagne is not poisonous, she put away the needle and sipped on the cold champagne.
”Do you want to go somewhere before we go straight to our hotel?”
”I don't know.” She shrugged.
”Let's eat first.”
They are in Los Angeles California. There's a beach, bars, hotels… the typical city. They stopped on a restaurant that her father reserved for and they walked in and the host escorted them to the best seat.
They order their food and she only ordered something that she could eat. Something light will do.
”Well, meet the board tomorrow. Are you ready?” Gabriel asked.
”Yes, always ready.” She nodded.
Gabriel looked around and sighed.
”You seemed depressed for the past few days.” He noted.
”I am fine.” She said casually.
”Okay, if you say so.”

Zendaya's eyes widen to the secret paradise. There's a white tiger. It's gigantic and Fin hugged it and the big cat played with Fin and wanted to cuddle to him by lifting the paws.
Then, they went to the very middle near the entrance of the cave. Andromeda, Freya, and Fin cut their palm and the blood dropped on some table as it moved and then they went to the cave and it opened.
”Wow,” Zendaya mumbled. Andy winked at her. Fin took out a lighter and lightened the torches. Her eyes wandered around, and they entered closer and her eyes couldn't believe it. The statue in the very middle is her mother. The young version of her and she seemed like holding something.
Andy took out the scroll and put it back there. It glows in a golden way and then each of the statues has treasures. She checked the statue of her dad beside her mom holding a sword and shield. Then, there's the statue of Freya, Dmitri, and Fin. They are three Phoenix that could see the catastrophe. Then, there's Andel and Moira. Moira is holding an archer and Andel is holding a book.
”When did you build this?” She asked.
”It was built centuries ago,” Freya said and she touched the carvings of the year.
”Holy shit! This is real.” It was indeed centuries ago.
”Phoenix and Dragon exist. Your mother is the keeper of dragons, your father is the Lion and Tiger to protect the paradise and we are the Phoenix. But somehow, we were raid and lots of deaths and few only escapes. Your mom and dad from their past life died and then reincarnated.”
Fin stand in his statue and he knelt bent down and took out a phoenix brooch that is made of gold.
Zendaya went to her mother's chests full of golds, gems, and other treasures. She reached the Dragon brooch. Then, she went to her dad's and took out the Lion brooch.
”Can I take this?” She asked.
”Yeah, sure.” Andy nodded.
”I think I need to give one to Tim. So, he'll be secured.”
Andy chuckled.
”Secured that no one would take him or snatch him from you.”
”Yup.” She nodded.

Laurence stood from his swivel chair and went to his father's thread mill. He started walking and adjust it and then walked faster.
”We have a meeting in thirty minutes,” Percy told him.
”Yeah—yeah. This is supposed to be a vacation, but I don't understand why I should work with you.”
”You are good at programming and organizing and doing some shits in business,” Percy told him. ”Soon, you have to help your sister get into college or wherever college she like.”
