The Reincarnation of the Tough Empress Being a Neglected Wife
Eps. 19

The next day Mr. Gerald called Mr. Samuel to confirm the lunch plan together and determine the place.

"cring cring cring." assume HP ringing sound.

"Yes hello, what's the matter with old Gerald?" mister Samuel said upon receiving the call after seeing the caller's name id on his phone screen.

"Our lunch plan later you have no intention of canceling it, right?" ask Mr. Gerald who is not in trouble with the old man's call from Mr. Samuel.

"Of course not." replied Sir Samuel.

"Is there a problem? We can postpone it another time if you can't attend." said Mr. Samuel again.

"No, I'm not calling for the cancellation of our lunch appointment." argued Mr. Gerald.

"Then?" ask sir Samuel.

"I just want to make sure it doesn't matter if we eat at my house?" haggle, Mr. Gerald.

"If it's lunch at Gerald's house, it's more likely that the bre**sec guy could attend as well. No, I can't let Az see him anytime soon. I'm afraid Az isn't ready yet." Inward master Samuel.

"Hello.....Hola.....Hola... Sam?" call Mr. Gerald several times for not getting an answer from Mr. Samuel.

"Hello Sam?" call again.

"Ah yeah hello?" answer to Samuel.

"What's wrong with you? I've called you several times and you didn't answer." asked Mr. Gerald.

"I'm sorry, I accidentally remembered something and I was a little dreamy" said Mr. Samuel.

"Is there a problem?" ask Mr. Gerald to worry.

"No, it's just a glimpse of the past. We should choose a place to eat outside. I think Az is still not comfortable eating in another house besides the mansion because he is not used to new people. You know, his past made Az more distant from others" said Mr. Samuel reasoned.

"You're right too. All right, I'll book a place at restaurant xxx for our lunch today." break up Mr. Gerald.

"That's better." said master Samuel.

"Hasn't it been decided? Then let me finish what I did." said Mr. Samuel.

"Don't you say that your schedule is empty for today?" ask Mr. Gerald.

"Schedule an outside meeting or just an empty meeting. I still have to check some documents and sign some papers" replied Mr. Samuel.

"You ask like that as if you never go down to take care of the company." said Mr. Samuel.

"Ha ha ha ha I have long since relinquished my position in the company and have done nothing related to the company so it is only natural that I become a layman of the company's affairs" said Mr. Gerald.

"Alright, continue what you're doing. I won't bother you anymore" he added.

"HM." That's just Mr. Samuel's answer and then disconnect the phone.

...****************...

Az had just woken up and came out of the room after finishing washing his face.

"Yuki.." called her after not seeing Yuki or Sidney after she went down to the living room.

"Yes young lady?" the new Saut Yuki came from outside.

"Are we not practicing today?" ask Az.

"Since the great master made plans to shop with the miss today and have lunch with Mr. Gerald afterwards, the great master ordered to clear the miss's training schedule today" Yuki replied.

"Where's grandpa?" ask Az.

"What time are we going to shop with grandpa?" ask Az.

"Around 10." replied Yuki.

"Huft, I'm bored. I'd better run in the morning and take a shower later." Az broke up when he saw the clock still showing at 7:15 a.m.

"Preferably before that you eat breakfast that the chef has prepared for you young lady." suggested Yuki.

"For the great master not to worry and make you have to stay in the room for a long time" Yuki added with a slight threat.

Az hates to just stay quiet even more so in the room except for bed time. Hearing Yuki's remark and thinking that his grandfather was capable of doing that eventually Az complied with immediately walking towards the dining room.

Az finished breakfast and immediately returned to the room to change clothes to be comfortable while running in the morning. He then continued his plan of running in the morning.

...----------------...

A young man had just opened his eyes and turned his head towards the digital clock that was sitting sweetly on his room table. The young man widened his eyes looking at the number he saw on the clock screen.

"Geez.......!" he immediately got up and ran towards the bathroom.

"How can I wake up late today" he murmured.

Now the clock has shown at 10:50 and he just woke up. Who told him not to sleep until 4 am because he thought about the woman he just knew.

"Wouldn't grandfather take me to lunch with Sam's grandfather and grandson this afternoon?" under the water shower.

"Why didn't Grandpa wake me up if he was going to take me?" mumbling again.

"Then how can I meet and talk to Az if Grandpa doesn't take me? It can't be, if I ask grandpa directly about the lunch?"

"It's more unlikely that I offered to come along. The parents will stop at nothing to make me a joke for a few days."

"Ah I just follow grandfather secretly and pretend as if we accidentally met." disconnected and immediately finished his bath.

Devan immediately dressed neatly and went downstairs to the bottom of his house. In the living room, his grandfather and mother were talking.

"Siang ma, grandpa's afternoon." said Devan as he kissed his mother's cheek.

"Dear one, tumben is late." asked Madame Darren.

"Night can't sleep ma." Devan replied spontaneously.

"Don't you get into the room early last night because you're tired so you want to go to bed fast? Why can't you sleep?" ask Renata.

"Don't this kid be thinking of a woman and make her sleepless until the morning." guess Mr. Darren who just came on target.

"No, I don't think of a woman. Me, I'm just so tired that it's hard to sleep." Devan denied.

"Why is this mouth until I say I can't sleep anyway?" inner Devan.

"Here you go, don't tease your son. You better clean yourself up and get ready" said Mr. Gerald.

"Fine father." said Mr. Darren who went straight to his room followed by his wife.

"Watch up for what cake?" devan asked pretending not to know.

"Lunch with Samuel and his grandson." replied Mr. Gerald.

"Where do you want to wake up already so neat? Is there an event or appointment with someone?" ask Mr. Gerald.

"No event whatsoever cake. I'm just a little saturated so I want to get out for some fresh air." replied Devan.
