Charlus saw someone stop their car right next to him while he was walking on the street with Lucie.
”Need a ride?”
The car was something that was familiar to Charlus. It was the pink Lamborgini that belonged to Denise that he had got on once.
”But you need to have space for two.” Charlus showed Denise his companion.
”Sure.” Denise opened the door. Charlus made Lucie sit in the front while he sat in the back..
”Who is this?” Denise asked Charlus. Lucie was just confused. She did not think Charlus would know someone in LA. He was just a transfer student from Texas right?
”A friend of mine. She goes to the same school as me.” Charlus' reply made Denise laugh.
”Which school is this? You both are one of the more popular fighters in the Tate arena. Not many people can do that.”
”Well, what can I say? My school is lucky to have me.” Charlus replied. ”Lucie, this is Denise. She is a friend I made recently.”
Charlus introduced Lucie to Denise. ”Denise, this is Lucie. Lucie is a student at Whitney High, the school I go to.”
Charlus' statement made Denise's eyes narrow.
”You go to Whitney High?” She asked Charlus. Charlus shrugged.
”Yes. Why? Is there something wrong with it?”
Denise shook her head. ”Nothing wrong. Nice to meet you, Lucie. I did not think that Gram Cat would be a teenager.”
Lucie blushed. ”Thanks. Nice to meet you too.”
Denise took a turn.
”You can drop us off at this hotel. We'll stay the night there.”
Charlus pointed at a nearby hotel but Denise didn't stop.
”Nonsense. I'll let you two stay at my place.”
Lucie refused. ”It's not necessary. We can afford it. You don't have to -”
”I insist.” Denise interrupted Lucie. Charlus simply shrugged.
”I'm always okay with saving money.”
Lucie started coughing. She remembered the day Charlus gave the Mexican person a $2000 tip for making the process quick. Was this the same person?
Denise drove for a very short time - just 5 minutes. They quickly reached a huge mansion. Lucie gaped at the mansion but Charlus did not show any expression except a small smile.
Denise parked at the front of the house. She got off and waited for Charlus and Lucie to get off too.
Once Charlus and Lucie got off, she guided them into the mansion. She was very enthusiastic in showcasing her richness.
”You can feel like you are home. The kitchen is over here so if you get hungry don't hesitate. And you can pick any bedroom other than my room. You can figure out which room belongs to my room pretty easily.”
Charlus listened to Denise quietly. He was surprised to see no one else other than them in the mansion. He would expect to see some maids or butlers or even some cooks but it looks like they either only arrive in the morning and leave in the evening or Denise lived by herself.
Lucie quickly picked a room, but Charlus didn't.
