"Yeah, so you head to the airport by 12 and wait for him. His plane lands by 12:30," Larry instructed his butler.

"Do I bring him to the office?" Felix, Larry's personal butler, asked.

"No, i assume he would be tired then. Just bring him home, show him to one of the guest rooms in the 2nd floor, I asked Nora to tidy up a room, and make sure he's fed."

"Yes, sir," Felix nodded.

"I'll be back late. I have a business date with Amanda Flip from Steve's & Co this evening."

Felix gave a last nod as Larry proceeded to climb into the backseat of his Range Rover velar.

"Have a nice day, Sir," Felix waved as Larry's designated driver drove out of the house.

Laurent walked into the reception, pulling his luggage behind him, as he scanned the place in awe.

Finally! He was in America!

He always told Roy that he would make it to America one of these days and at last it had happened, all thanks to his wonderful rich cousin.

Laurent felt stares all around him as he walked the airport.

"Yes, yes, look at me," Laurent smiled to himself. It wasn't everyday people came across someone as tall as he was.

Chuckling at his own thoughts, Laurent searched around. Larry had told him someone would be waiting at the airport for him by the time he arrived. But he didn't know how to locate the person.

Like he always saw in the movies, Laurent searched and read cardboards, maybe the person wrote his name.

25 minutes on and no body was coming to him, neither did any cardboard hold his name. Laurent dragged his bags to the waiting area and sat down. He got out a small book from his bag and turned to the lady on his right, who was sitting and holding a baby.

"Hello, excusez-moi."

The woman turned to him with a sweet smile, obviously smitten as she had seen him when he had walked over and had also taken note that he was a tall, fine man.

"Hi."

"Sorry for bother you. Can I borrow you phone? My brother is suppose for pick me but I have no seen him yet," He explained, his thick French accent rolling off with every word he spoke.

"Of course," She nodded, grabbing her bag and searching through it. She held up an iPhone and gave it to Laurent.

"Ah, merci," Laurent bowed his head in appreciation, taking the phone.

He punched in Larry's number and dialled it.

5 times he had called Larry's number but no answer.

"No answer?" The woman asked.

Laurent shook his head, dialling the number again.

"Pick up, pick up, pick up," Laurent prayed.

"Still nothing?" The woman asked.

"Non," Laurent answered, giving the phone back to the woman. "Merci."

"You're welcome. French?"

"French? Oh, yes," Laurent smiled once he understood her question.

"Wow, nice," The woman smiled. "Did you come here for vacation or business or school?"

"I come for work."

"What type of work do you have in mind?"

"Uh, my bro have a company here. I coming for work in his company," Laurent answered proudly.

The woman looked really impressed. "What company?"

"Larwares. You know it?" Laurent said.

"What? Larwares? Larry Bourgeois. Your brother is Larry Bourgeois?" The woman asked, looking very shocked.

Laurent nodded, taking off his sunglasses.

That was when she saw the mighty resemblance, gasping. "Oh my God. This is not real! How can you look like him so much?!"

Laurent smiled. He felt so special at that moment. "I no know."

"This is overwhelming," The woman said. "Can we take a picture?"

Laurent's mouth fell open. "W-why?"

"Oh God, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. You know how famous Larry is in the world."

Of course he knew. Everyone at home was proud of Larry and always bragged about him.

"It's just-"

"Mr. Bourgeois?"

Laurent looked towards the direction of the voice and a white man, in neat suit was looking at him, uncertainly.

"Yes?" Laurent answered, taking a hold of the handle of his bag.

The man nodded, a smile forming on his face. "I'm Felix, Mr Bourgeois' butler and he asked me to fetch you. I'm sorry I'm late, the traffic was heavy."

"Oh," Laurent smiled in happiness. Finally. He got up as Felix grabbed his bag. "Non I-"

"Please let me," Felix said.

Laurent nodded.

"Let's go," Felix said and started to lead the way.

Before leaving, Laurent turned to the woman. "Thank you for the help, miss."

"Good luck," She smiled winking at him.

Laurent waved at her then rushed to meet up with Felix.

"Where are we going now, Mr Felix? Larry's office?"

"Felix. We're going home. Mr Bourgeois ordered for you to settle in and rest."

Ooh, Mr Bourgeois, Laurent thought to himself, his heart tugging at how much Larry had done for himself.

"Ah, Laurent, let's work hard," Laurent smiled.

So, Lau and Larry are cousins not brothers. Lau only referred to Larry as 'bro' because as kids they had a really close relationship.
