Days have already passed by but I still kept thinking about Caleb and Apollo and because of that I only get few hours of sleep. Today is actually a busy day both in the agency and the university. I have a case and also the gallery will be opening today together with the awarding of the contest so I'm busy as a bee.
"Is everything okay already Stella?"
I called Stella on the phone that morning while I was fixing some things in the agency.
"Yes. We'll just fix some things and it's ready to go." Stella said.
"Thanks. I'll just fix some things here in my work and I'll come by there in a few hours."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"How's everything?" Aunt Claudette called me while I was on my way to the university.
She's checking up on me these days ever since I talked to her about my situation.
"I still haven't talk to Apollo or Caleb. But I know I'm gonna meet Caleb later. I'm just burying myself with work right now to forget everything but I still can't." I said.
"Poor girl. If you want I can come to the exhibit later."
"Please Aunt Claudette. Please do come."
"I will. Don't worry. But I heard your Dad is also coming later so I'll have to accompany him also."
"I know. Tito Calvin told me he's one of the VIP guests. But I really don't care because Dad doesn't care either."
"Sophie.."
"You know Dad never cares for me Aunt Claudette. And I too just stopped caring."
"I know you still do care. 'Cause you still come to dinner when he asks you too."
"But that doesn't change the fact that his favorite is Katharin not me. I have to go Aunt Claudette."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We were preparing for it is only a few minutes before the exhibit starts when Stella commented on my look tonight.
"Nice outfit." she said pertaining to my outfit.
"Thanks." I said.
"That's a Hervé Léger by Max Azria dress right?"
"Yes."
"You're so lucky. I want a Hervé Léger dress too. I've been saving for one for a long time already."
"I have another Hervé Léger dress at home its in purple. I'll give it to you."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
She suddenly hugs me.
"Thank you very much."
"No problem. Let's go. The exhibits about to start."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was walking when suddenly I came into Tito Calvin and he's with Caleb.
"Athena! Great job. Thank you for everything." Tito Calvin said.
"Tito, Mr. Franco. Good evening. You should thank Stella and the others. They are really the one that made this happen. I just helped."
"Oh. You're Dad is already here. Zeus! Excuse me." Tito Calvin said before he left.
I noticed Caleb looking at my ring finger.
"Is there something wrong Mr. Franco?" I said.
"Your Dad is Zeus?"
Dad together with Aunt Claudette suddenly approached us.
"Sir." I said and the bowed a little.
"Athena, how are you?"
"Fine sir."
"Excuse us. Athena and I will just go to the ladies room." Aunt Claudette said.
"Sure."
Aunt Claudette and I left.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mr. Franco, nice to meet you again. I would like to congratulate you for a job well done on the Thomson case." Zeus said.
"Thank you Sir but I wouldn't have done it without Athena. Uhm. With all due respect sir, I would like to ask if Athena is your daughter? " Caleb said.
"Yes. She is. Why do you ask Mr. Franco?"
"Nothing Sir. I just overheard Dean Jimenez saying that Athena was your daughter. I just have to confirm it. And again with all due respect, it is as if you are cold towards Athena that's why I wasn't sure if it was true that she was your daughter."
"It's okay Mr. Franco. I know I'm a bit too hard on her ever since she was little and even more when her sister Katharin ran away. It just that, I focused more on Katharin that I have forgotten that I have another daughter."
"I don't have any right to intervene with your family issues sir but you may want to reach out to Athena more. Despite everything she cares for and loves you deeply. You may want to give the love and care back."
"I hear you Mr. Franco. Mr. Franco, if it's okay. Why don't you join us for dinner tomorrow in my house?"
"It will be a pleasure Sir."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Is everything okay already?" Aunt Claudette said.
"Yup. The exhibit is going through smoothly."
"I'm talking about Caleb."
"I still haven't talk to him about us. I was about to talk to him about it but Dad suddenly appeared."
"You'll have another time."
"Thanks Aunt Claudette. I'm happy you are always there for me ever since Mom died. I really appreciate it."
I hugged her.
