"Huh? Sami?" Delphina immediately noticed Samuel's disguise.

" You have the wrong person." Samuel directly refused it wanting to avoid the trouble.

Delphina, Sharon and Alexis were together. They were returning from their short lunch break and because Samuel got held up at the clinic they happen to meet at the street corner!

" Wait! Sami! You are obviously Sami!" Delphina doubted herself for a second but then she noticed the little girl beside him. It was surely Elise that she met couple of times! How could she ever forget her angelic appearance!?

He sighed knowing he was caught, Eleanor was a little behind also caught up to them. She also noticed three beauties blocking Samuel's path.

It didn't take her very long to realise that they were familiar with one another but she was doubtful. It was clear she never seen them before but one in the middle seemed familiar to her.

" What are you guys doing here? I am busy so can we talk some other time?" He made the last ditch effort but Eleanor immediately came and stopped his plans.

" Sami? Who is this?"

He knew it was over. Both parties seemed curious about each other so he had to bute the bullet and introduce them to each other. They moved to a wuite cafe and booked a private room to chat.

" Wow, Lady Eleanor, It's a pleasure to meet you!" Surprisingly, Sharon seemed more enthusiastic to learn that Eleanor was his grandmother.

" You know her?" Delphina asked. She vaguely remeber hearing the name but since she hadn't made much appearance lately, she completely forgot about her.

" You don't know? Lady Eleanor could be considered the most powerful women in the world. Haven't you heard of Morgan family from the States?" Alexis rolled her eyes thinking Delphina was joking.

" Oh, What? That Morgan family?" It took her a minute to process the information. She knew Samuel's background was terrifying enough but mixing in Morgan family's influence, it became mythical in every sense of the word!

" It seems that you have heard of me but I am curious how do you know my grandson?" Eleanor said with a smile but there was a obvious curiosity in her eyes. She glanced at Samuel who refused to make eye contact with her, just helping Elise sample some snacks.

" Why does it matter? We are friends, there is no need for you to interrogate them-"

" Heh, you are making me more and more curious." She said in a slightly raised voice which made him shudder.

He cursed in his mind completely defeated by turn of fate. He just wished she wouldn't say anything outrageous to them.

" So? Can you tell me?" She turn to face three beautiful girls again. Her eyes seemed to look directly into their soul discerning whether they would lie or not.

It made the other party uncomfortable, they didn't know why she was staring at them so intently!

" W-we are partners. He helped me recently in business matters, I am sure you have heard of LVHM Group right? I recently took the position of the chairman because of his help." Delphina wasn't someone who would back down under pressure. She soon found her composure and said with confidence.

" I am Sharon, I am her friend. I own a high end establishment for nobles. We got acquainted through Delphina." Sharon added.

" And you, young lady?"

" I-i...He offered me a job. I am thinking about it for now." Alexis commented. She seemed most uncomfortable among them only because she seemed to guess why the old lady was asking such questions.

It was clear from looking at her and then at Samuel, there was a hidden meaning behind this meeting! As someone who attended countless parties and gathering, she was clear about sich things.

Her face slowly started merging with her red hair making things more complicated. Samuel was shocked to see such a scene.

He never expected such a reaction from Alexis, she should be most unaffected by this because they never had as much contact as other two but now the situation seemed most dire in her case!

Eleanor narrowed her eyes, thinking about few things. No one talked, the only sound came from Elise fiddling with knife and fork, trying to fight the soft pastry! She happily ate, completely satisfied by this arrangement!

" Pass." Eleanor said softly and smiled. She met with most of the 'candidate' on the list and this batch particularly seemed most appealing to her.

It's not like she disliked Samuel's other choices but she was fond of girls who could take care of themselves and had some semblance of autonomy. Beauty was important but she wanted people with capable brains.

""" Pass?""" Three of them looked confused by her remark. The tense that permeated the room vanished replaced after Eleanor's kind smile when she looked at them.

" Don't listen to her. She is the most eccentric person you would meet. Aren't you busy? Let's go, we don't want to held you back." Samuel immediately changed the subject. He knew if he let them continue it would severely effect their future relationship!

" Brat! You surely hid deep. I never expected you to avoid my people's radar so smoothly but this just shows how capable you are. I like it." She pulled him down making him sit again.

" What do you think they are talking about?" Delphina whispered to Sharon to which she could only shake her head. She too was confused listening to their cryptic conversation.

" You guys..." Alexis who was sitting closer to them already heard it. She knew what eas going on but she didn't have the heart to tell them.

" How long have you been in contact eith my grandson?"

" A few months. It was right after his arrest, I am sure you heard about it." Delphina answered.

" Yes, yes. Sometimes he is too impulsive. You have to take care of him, if he gets into trouble just call me."

" About that, are you aware of his past? He is not cheating you-"

" Grandmother! Don't say such things in front of Elise!"

" What? Are you refusing to take responsibility? Why are you always so shy when talking about it? You have already formed a connection, it's only right to take the next step. I am still waiting to hold my great-grandson!" Eleanor exclamed.
