Chapter 83: The Watts Estate - I (1/2)

"So both of you are going to the tea party thing?" Quinn asked in the voice chat

"Yeah, are you not going?" Acai replied, asking a question of his own

"It doesn't really sound like so I'd be interested in I don't even like tea" Quinn replied, "Well, go have fun, I'll be here to play when you get back"

As the day progressed it started getting really close to the event's start time, and at this point Arthur had received a notification that Donovan was on his way to pick hied off and started picking out an outfit that would be considered acceptable for the event

Maria had told him that casual was perfectly fine, based on this inforside the weather and temperature forecast, Arthur decided that he didn't need a jacket or cardigan He settled on a nice white button-up long sleeved shi+rt with a comfortable pair of dark-blue dress slacks, and a pair of black sneakers to finish the look

Arthur wasn't one to accessorise, picking out an outfit was annoying enough, more variables was just a pain and he didn't really care about jewellery in the first place He considered wearing a watch at least, but he quickly decided against it

Eventually Donovan had arrived, and Arthur rabbed everything he needed

But even if the two houses were in the saeneral area, the drive still took severalthis drive, Arthur noticed that the buildings started getting spaced further and further away fro that the obscenely large mansions with too e of the total land

"Here we are" Donovan spoke up as he approached a large iron wrought gate with an elaborate design and a stylised crest featuring the letter "W" in the centre This gate in particular had a s what seeuard

Donovan drove up to the gate, and he pulled up beside anear the gatehouse where he could now speak with the guard

"Could I get a for to get a good look at the passenger

Donovan pulled out his identification, as well as a co his position in the Holuard's eyes widened when he noticed the Hol h identification?" Donovan asked while putting on an air of iave hiate

"Wow, look at youshot" Arthur said in an obviously sarcasticinto the estate Donovan jokingly puffed out his chest in response, knowing that Arthur didn'tby it

As they drove further into the estate, a large building, which was more fair to call a castle than a mansion, appeared fro, a strange feeling started bubbling up within Arthur So felt familiar, but he couldn't understand why He knew for a fact that he had never ame in the previous tiame, but that was the extent of their interaction

"Donovan, why does this place feel fa up in his throat, causing it to croak slightly when he asked his chauffeur a question "I've never been here before, have I?"
