Chapter 384 - Making Plans in Sky Bar (1/2)
When Aleksis saw Terry enter through the door of the penthouse, she felt very relieved and immediately dashed towards him, giving her brother a big hug. Even though they were not biological siblings who had lived together since birth and often teased each other, they loved each other very much.
Since they first met 8 years ago, Terry and Aleksis already had the closeness only present to siblings.
”I'm so relieved that you're okay ...” said Aleksis many times, ”I can't imagine what will happen if they catch you and torture you. I won't be able to face Uncle Jean at all ...”
”Sshh ... it's not your fault ...” Terry responded as he rubbed Aleksis's back, soothing her. ”It is partly my fault too ... Rosemary became vengeful because I played with her at that time. I never thought this would happen ...”
”Yeah, but you only kissed her because I was teasing you ... If I had just shut my big mouth, this would not have happened ...” Aleksis shook her head, still trying to take the blame.
”Yeah, but I'm older than you, I should have acted more mature. I should not have been lured into it by your stupid teasing...” Terry replied.
”But I also shouldn't have acted stupidly by teasing you like that. I know you very well, that you're a competitive person with a high ego. It will be easy to make you do stupid things like that...” replied Aleksis.
Nicolae rolled his eyes and shook his head at the two siblings trying to take the blame to themselves but at the same time still sounded annoying to his ears.
”Never mind ... now we have to make sure they don't repeat what they did. What do you think?” Nicolae asked them.
”I don't want to bother my father...” Aleksis said, pursing her lips. She did not like his father's overprotective attitude. This incident could potentially give her father a reason to confine his only daughter again.
Lauriel gave Aleksis an understanding look. He was very familiar with Caspar and agreed that the guy was overprotective of his child.
”You want us to keep this a secret from your father?” Lauriel asked.
Aleksis did not dare to nod. She was the only daughter in her extended family. Not only her parents, but her foster father - Lauriel, Uncle Jean, Uncle Aldebar and Aunt Flora and Uncle Louis all spoiled her. But for this matter, she did not dare ask Lauriel to be her accomplice and hide the secret from her fierce father.
Nicolae could only wonder what kind of person Caspar Schneider was, because it seemed that Aleksis was very reluctant to involve her father. During this time he saw the girl was very carefree and always did whatever she liked, but now she did not seem to dare to mess around in front of her father.
”Uhm .. I can do something to them ...” Nicolae finally said. ”This is just a small mafia group. I can expose their group's data and crimes, then send all the evidence to the police. Let the police take care of them.”
Aleksis' eyes instantly lit up. ”Can you do it ??? Really? That's perfect! If the police caught them, I don't need to bother my father.”
Nicolae smiled at her who looked very relieved. He nodded and then took out his laptop before beginning to work, ”Give me an hour.”
”Whaaa ... thank you! Nicolae, you're the best !!” Aleksis almost hugged Nicolae but dropped the plan because he saw the young man was busy.
”Hmm ... how about we eat first?” Terry suggested, breaking the ice. ”I didn't manage to eat at Mandalay Restaurant, my stomach is grumbling for food!”
Aleksis nodded in agreement. She also did not manage to eat earlier because of the tension she was feeling.
”It's too late to call the chef. How about we all go to the Sky Bar to eat?” she proposed after thinking for a moment. ”Nico, can you do your work at Sky Bar?”
”No problem.” Nicolae closed his laptop.
