Chapter 24
Natalie
"It really is nice to meet you, Henry."
"You too, Tonia. But I must say that Natalie lied to me about you."
"How's that?"
"You are way more beautiful than she described." He responds and everyone laughed.
"And you are more charming than I anticipated." She compliments and he smiles.
"Uncle Mark, do you know that Henry is the COO of U.K. Meta Group."
"Wow. Really? Your family is related to Zuckerberg or something?"
Henry laughs. "No, sir. Worked my way up to the top."
Uncle Mark gave an impressed smile.
"So...Henry, I was told by Will that Natalie and you attended the same university." Anne says.
"Did they?" Aunt Tonia asks.
"We did." Henry nods.
"That means that you know about Sam and Natalie, no?" Mia asks
"Mia." Will warns in a low tone.
"What? He said he went to their university."
"You're right. I do know everything."
"Wait. Does that mean you are also from here?" Ben, Mia's husband questions.
"I am. In fact, my family home is just a mile drive from here."
"Is that so? Roswell, right? I don't think we know of any Roswell. Do we, Will?" My uncle asks.
"You don't. My parents aren't business moguls or in tech. Just a humble background of lawyers."
" Lawyers, huh? I'm impressed again."
"Thank you, sir."
"Ah...I see you are sorta similar to Natalie in that way. The black sheep of the family." Ben laughs richly.
"Ben." Mia raised her eyebrows.
" I'm just joking, Mia." He turns to Henry, "No offence bro."
"None taken. And anyway, being the black sheep isn't always a bad thing. I mean, look at Natalie, right?" He smartly replied and it brought a smile to my face.
"Are you also back on business or..." Mia questions.
"No. For personal reasons. I haven't been home in eight years and well, I missed my girlfriend." He replied, staring at me, who smiled.
"Aww..." Mia cooed and I smiled but my mind was occupied. I thought back to my conversation with Sam last night when I called him.
"Sanderson." He simply said in a husky voice when he picked the call.
"Hey, Sam. It's Natalie."
"Oh hey.." He yawned out loud.
"Ur... Were you already asleep?"
"Hmm...Yea.."
"I'm sorry."
"It's no problem. What's up?"
"It's about that dinner we are supposed to have tomorrow..."
"You can't make it?"
"No."
"Ah..it's fine."
"It's just that Henry is in town and we wanted to do somethings together before he leaves."
