The moment we finished eating, Papa excused himself briefly, saying, "Entertain Luke Reign for a bit."
He mentioned that Luke knows his way around. I didn't bother asking further, since it seemed that my mother and Luke Reign were already acquainted.
Mother and Aunt excused themselves about an hour before Papa, as he needed to take a call. Mother and Aunt were probably headed to our company, and my sister informed us she was going to the mall.
I don't have the energy to entertain a visitor right now.
"If you'll excuse me," I told Luke and left the room.
Living Room
I sat on the sofa, contemplating the situation. "I really don't get it" I mused aloud.
The repeated mention of "30" in Luke's conversation was oddly familiar. Throughout our discussion, I noticed his voice had a striking familiarity.
When Luke entered the living room, I didn't hesitate in giving him a glare.
"Turn around," I ordered.
"What?" he asked innocently, but his voice held a hint of annoyance, as if he was silently protesting being ordered around.
"I said, turn around. I dislike repeating myself," I told him, and he reluctantly complied.
I was right. He's the same guy from the cemetery.
THE NEXT DAY our family decided to have an early dinner
"As I was saying," my mother continued.
"The best place for a peaceful vacation is a Riding Club, owned by the Reign Family."
Reign.
That man.
He acted as if he hadn't witnessed my emotional outburst yesterday.
"Are you listening, sweety?" my mother suddenly asked, pulling my attention back to the conversation.
"We have a Riding Club here in the Philippines, right?" Aunt inquired.
"Yes, we do. However, our Riding Club is frequented by rich, young, and adventurous singles, and unfortunately, it's also exposed to the media," Mother explained.
"Which is why we can't stay there, Leana," Mother addressed my aunt.
"So, you've been carelessly managing our Riding Club?" Aunt teased Mother, a mocking smile playing on her lips.
"No, I have not! It's open to the public!" Mother defended herself.
"Believe me, Luna, our Riding Club will improve once I take over," Aunt retorted, a smirk forming.
"Your forte lies in managing chains of hotels and restaurants, Leana. You know that. As for me, I excel in handling Beach Resorts, Clubhouses, and Riding Clubs. How about we switch roles?" Aunt suggested, her gaze moving between Mother and me.
"Shut up," Mother shot back, her glare piercing.
"Oh, please, sister. I know you can't resist my offer."
Aunt seemed to relish provoking Mother.
"That's enough, Luna and Leana. Have Storm and Courtney's spirits possessed the two of you?" Grandpa chuckled, attempting to calm his children.
"Papa, tell your younger daughter to shut up. I was speaking, and then she suddenly butted in," Mother complained, her expression showing clear annoyance.
"Enough with the nonsense," Aunt countered, undeterred.
"Show some respect!" Mother demanded.
"Respect my ass."
"Anyway, Chris and Storm are coming to visit," Papa interjected, referring to my grandparents from my father's side.
"Really!? I've missed Lola Storm and Lolo Chris so much," my sister exclaimed.
As you might have guessed, my father's mother is named Storm, and they named me after her because they believed I looked like her. But in truth, I'm nothing compared to my Lola Storm.
"I'm sure you all missed them dearly," Papa smiled.
"That's why, Storm and Courtney, you need to help your mother and your aunt in preparing Julienne of Gruyère Cheese Salad, Beaufort Chowder, Prosciutto, and Cantaloupe Canapés. Lola Storm loves salads and soups. As for Lolo Chris, prepare Beef Sirloin and Vegetable Skewers, add Boneless Round Roast, Salmon Fillets with Maître D'Hôtel Butter, and Lobster Au Gratin. Lolo Chris is known for his love of BBQ, roast, fish, and seafood dishes."
"What!? Seriously, Grandpa? That's a lot," my sister exclaimed, her expression shocked.
She tends to overreact quite a bit.
"I mentioned, you're just assisting, not the ones cooking."
"Oh, thank goodness."
