Hollywood Zenith

As it was already late, they decided not to go out to eat. Elise stuck to Samuel throughout the whole meal and even urged him to feed her. He smiled and patted the little princess, spoiling her as much as he could. Mayra's craftsmanship was as impeccable as he remembers, they had a hearty meal.

Elise who was in his arms was bobbing her head as today was too hectic for her small body to endure. She was sleepy but still grasping at his clothes refusing to let him go in fear that she wouldn't see him again.

It was only after a lot of coaxing and a bath together that she finally understood that this time he was going to keep his promise and accompany her tomorrow. He read her a bedtime story oversimplifying few things adding big of magic and of course, horses that she loved. It didn't take long for her to fall asleep with a smile, he tucked her gently joining the girls downstairs.

" Well, I see you haven't lost your touch of deceiving kids." Kayla said jokingly. Since Eleanor brought many presents especially few expensive wines, she was starting to go on another binge spree.

" It's nothing compare to your love for wine. At least you are not planning to recruit little children." He fought back. Enjoy new adventures from My Virtual Library Empire

" Humph! It better than to chase girls around the city! We already know that you have been spending these last few days with supermodels! There has already been some movement in your so called club!" Kayla wasn't going to admit defeat so easily!

" They are not bad. At least, I think Robyn and Miranda are nice." Mayra had completely different outlook. As someone who had touched the entertainment circles in the past, she was keenly aware of quality of women that 'permeated' that place.

If she had been a ambitious person that loved money and fame, she could easily joined the rank of top model after all, she was beautiful and had explosive figure but because she had moral conflict with the way the industry operated she didn't want to 'sell' herself to achieve success.

Not to mention, her family wasn't doing that bad they might be an ant compared to the Rothschild but they were pretty wealthy first generation immigrants with tens of millions of assets, her non profit operated on the proceed of her share from the family business.

They might not like that she was married to a woman but they wouldn't dare to deceive their resourceful daughter after all, the proceeds that she earned from her modeling career was used to establish many business in UK and she had formal shares in most of them!

Kayla on the other hand was little more wealthy than her other-half. She was mixed race hence her darker complexion but Samuel didn't know much about her background and he didn't want to investigate because he trusted her. At most he knew that twin apartment complex that they were currently living in was under her grandmother's name.

It wasn't in the center of Paris and wasn't fully rented out but it could be due to high rent price and excellent service which wasn't affordable for most people. At least they had enough renters to pay some taxes which seemed to be enough for these hands off owners.

" Did she really add them to the group? I mean all of them?" Samuel asked baffled. He knew Nicole had such a plan but wasn't it enough to just add Anastasiya, Robyn and Miranda? Why add Kate and Disha who had nothing to do with him? He feared that even Candice would be pulled in by his mischievous maid!

" What? Do you not want to take responsibility for your actions? I heard a lot of fun messing with those poor girls. They were receiving a lot of sympathy from others after all you are already labeled a beast and a playboy!" Kayla said with a chuckle seeing Samuel's face change to ugly!

Samuel really wanted to curse, maybe he should just hack this damn group and ban them for life? Wasn't a crime to slander his character indiscriminately? Sue them for defamation?

" It was nothing severe. I talked to them and they seem like good people. Robyn seemed cheerful much different than her stern stage persona while Miranda talked more maturely, she even invited few of them on her shoot when she goes back to the States. I don't know about other two, Kate never said anything while Disha was in the same boat but she silently read all the messages." Mayra elaborated.

She accurately grasped each of their personalities without question but he was surprised that she never said anything about Anastasiya the most troublesome of the bunch!

" What about Anastasiya?"

" She...I don't know. All I see her talk about how she was going to visit few tattoo parlour and even shared few photos of what she was going to get. I am too embarrassed to talk about it." She shook her head feeling that she had never seen such a shameless person!

Samuel was confused but it did line up with what he expected from her after all, she didn't have anything common with these 'young' girls and had a different life experience. At least she wasn't trying to recruit them to being a spy or anything. He was afraid to check the group, he didn't want to let them know that he knew about whatever they were doing in the group.

It was better to be unaware to protect himself especially when many of them were not talking to him currently!

" Alright, let them do their thing. I am going to go see Helga and Katarina first. I need to clear up some things." He said in a solemn tone. He knew his grandmother was right, it was bad for him to shy away from them especially when they were here.

He had soft spot for everyone of them even Alana and Roberta but he would have to delay talking to them for now, he wanted to face them and see what they wanted to do. No matter what they decided, Anastasiya already promised him that she would take care of their little problem back home.

" Are you sure? I mean..."

" I am sure. I never really got to explain myself. It better to say everything and not feel regret later on after all I don't want your friendship to be ruined because of my mistake." He knew that Mayra and Kayla would definitely warm up to Helga and others after all they had many similar hobbies and were good natured individuals.

Lucie already informed him after keeping him in the dark for past few days that Kayla decided to rent out one of the apartment to all four of them at low price. They might not live here for many months but this would surely become one of their home bases.

He wasn't sure what happened with Genevieve but since she was a local, he didn't have to worry about her. She was also the most experienced among the five of them and wouldn't be easily deceived in her career. He might not have done anything to her but he felt like it was his duty to provide for her in secret just like what he was about to do to others.
