Part 21 Meet Up

Part 21

"Hello Emma, I'm sorry for disturbing you on a Sunday.", Tin talked on the phone as she walked in their manor's garden.

"No problemo madam. What's up?"

"Well, I have a request. Can you by any chance know Mr. Luke Roberts phone number?", she asked biting her lips

"Why do you need it? Any problem?", Emma asked from the other line and sounding concern

"There's something I need to discuss", Tin manage to talk Mark on not spilling about her past with Luke in the office. So no one knows what happened in their last meeting but the news that they got the project.

"Ok, I'll try then I'll send you the number", Emma promised

"Thanks Emma", she whispered as she ended their conversation

There's a text that came but it was Frida when she looked it up

Did you saw what that Roberts woman been ranting on social media?

Nope. I'm not really into that. She really doesn't like that platform and her father advised her against it then

She's keeps on hinting about a brawl with an ogre. I freaking hate her!

She smiled at Frida's text. She's lucky to have this small woman as her friend but it's no need waking up that dragon

Don't worry, it's gonna be alright, she replied.

Monday morning, she managed to get a hold on Luke. She called him at the phone provided by Emma that Sunday but he's not answering so she asked for Dianne's number instead. Dianne scheduled a morning meeting in a restaurant near her office.

She was waiting for thirty minutes and was beginning to reconsider when Luke finally walked in the entrance asking for her

Luke grinned the moment he saw her, "So? What is this meeting is all about?", he said while taking a seat. The guy's on grey suit on black slacks, he's favorite get up.

A waitress came to give him the menu and he winked at the girl. She rolled her eyes to that flirtatious gesture

"What?", Luke asked when the waiter took his order

She looked into her ordered coffee and took a strength for it. "Okay, Luke, you won. I let you visit my son"

Grin left his face at her statement. "Visit? Just visit my son, that's not what I want"

"I'm not comfortable about this Luke. Can we make things slow? I'll let you visit my son and then, we can adjust from there"

He thought for a moment with those straight lines of his lips and rubbing palms. "When can I visit? Give me exact details", Luke commanded

"This Saturday"

"Saturday? That long? No", Luke shaking his head and averted his eyes

"You'll meet him on Saturday at the park nearest our place. I can let you play with him the whole day"

"I want him to meet my parents on Saturday", Luke begun talking softly

"You can't just take a little boy to the unknown place full of strangers. He needs to know you more, first.", she defended.

"Okay, I'll compromise but I want to take him in the future", Luke finally agreed

"Thank you", she almost whispered and put a bill on the desk, "Enjoy your meal Mr. Roberts", she said as she left that place
