48 Chapter 47: Parental Discipline (1/2)
”Hello? Lisa? I'm here.” I hear Charles's voice outside the dorm room.
”I'll get it!” I stand up and open the door to see Charles carrying a very extravagant fruit basket. It contained fruits like strawberry, kiwi, grape, apples, banana that were skewered into a barbeque stick. The basket itself is decorated with ribbons and fabric. Whatever this was is very expensive...
”Oh, what's that for?” I ask him as he hands it to me. ”A sign of gratitude for letting me into your home. My parents always bring gifts whenever we enter somebody else's home.”
”Oh right...” I giggled a little before placing the fruit basket into the table.
”Whoa, what's that? Is this person trying to court you?” I hear my uncle standing behind me which made my eyes wide open turning to him.
”No. Uncle. He is just a friend. His family is very different and they always bring gifts when they come to someone else's home like the buffet he took the house back then and now it's a fruit basket.” I tell him.
”Alright, then Lisa. You don't need to hide secrets from me. If you like this guy then you can tell me anything.” He winked at me.
”Oh, mister. It's not really anything like that. We don't have that kind of relationship we are just friends.” Charles explains laughing.
”Ya friends with benefits...” I hear Rose snickering the middle.
”Shut up. No one likes you fatty.” I say to Rose.
”By the way is this the guy you said that was going to join us fishing?” Uncle George asks me looking at Charles.
I looked at Charles more closely. He looked very dapper, a very extravagant suit like he was going to a fancy ball.
”Don't you have casual clothes to wear Charles?” I ask him.
”Oh. One moment, I'll ask my butler to fetch me some clothes, You don't mind me using your bathroom to change right?” He asked me.
”Sure,” I answer. ”Yiee Lisa just wants to see Charles naked.” I hear Rose whispering behind my ear.”
I flick Rose's nose. ”Ow! That's means, Lisa!” She muttered staying away from me.
I see Charles bringing his ”casual clothes” which were very extravagant as well... I guess this guy doesn't really know what casual means. He walks to me and asks again for the bathroom. I nodded and let him use the bathroom.
”Now really, who is this guy? This guy is really not your boyfriend or your suitor or anything?” Uncle George nudged me.
”No uncle. We are just friends also Charles is really like royalty and really rich so that's why he acts like that. Also, why did you even assume we were dating or anything.” I squint my eyes.
”Because my baby girl is a beautiful girl. Pretty sure you have a line of men wanting to date you.” He strokes my ego hugging me.
”Ya right...” I shove him away from me.
”Alright, I am done changing. By the way mister. Please bring all the equipment and gear to the car outside. My butler will assist you on where to put it.”
”Alright then.” My uncle took everything we needed fishing rods, baits, and other junk and went out to put it on the car.
”So I heard this was your first time fishing right Charles?” I ask him.
”Yes, indeed. My parents were often very protective of me and my sister that's why we never really got to experience a lot of things.” He laughed.
”Oh, I guess that's the disadvantage of being in a very rich family. You get restricted to do things and junk right?” Rose joins in.
”I guess so. I'm fine with how things are going.” He giggled.
Huh? I look to see at Charles's neck at the back there is some kind of circular mark. ”Charles, what's that circular thing in your neck? Is that a birthmark or something?”
”Oh, this?” He touched in the spot I was referring to. ”This is from using the B.A.M it's a circular thing that you put in your neck.”
”B.A.M? I've never heard of anything like that?” Rose says curiously.
”I'm actually not sure. It hurts a little but I don't really remember anything from it. Maybe Matthew knows something about it because I heard the one that developed that technology is Matthew's parents.” He says.
”Wait? Matthew's parents develop inventions and stuff?” I asked him.
”Pona Technology is a company made by Matthew's parents, I've talked to him during our escapade in the K-Pop convention and he told me a lot of plans for the company.” Charles smiled.
