" Are you sure you want to stay? You can go with them and have some fun." He urged Helga.

" That's right, it will be fun. It's not like you have trouble moving around." Katarina grabbed her arm and tried to reason with her.

They were about to visit Genevieve to surprise her with Lilly, everyone was ready as they were already missing her beside they had been cooped up in this place for few days.

It's not that they were bored but they also wanted to visit fun places along the way, after all Paris was beautiful at this time of the year.

" I should take some rest so that I can recover faster. You guys could go and have some fun." Helga refused.

The only reason why she didn't want to go was because he wasn't going. Hiw could she miss a chance to spend more time with him? In her mind, it was a no brainer since she had the best excuse.

In the end, everyone had to reluctantly agree to leave her behind. Even Elise's cute charms wasn't enough to persuade both her and Samuel.

Samuel's reason was that he didn't want to pressure her, she just left this place in the morning and with the note that they parted, it would be awkward for them to meet so soon. There was also a issue of him meeting her family.

With Raphael and his security team following them around, he was assured nothing would happen to them.

Before leaving, Lilly made sure to pull him aside to talk.

" You are playing a dangerous game here. I will tell you that it would not end good if you keep playing games with them." She was referring to her little talks with four of them. She had no doubt in her mind that she was in route to meet the fifth one soon!

" I know. I have a plan but in the meantime, Inwill appreciate you keeping it a secret." He instantly knew seeing her knowing smile and made sure to remind his aunt not to do anything foolish.

The only reason, he was not panicking was because he knew they wouldn't talk about sich personal stuff voluntarily and he also had a well crafted plan devise by Kayla. Read latest chapters at empire

" You think it's a secret? I am sure Laura is well aware of your shenanigans, have you leaned nothing from Iblis' incident?"

" Do I even have a choice in the matter? but I am not worried about my mother for now. I just want to do whats right."

Lilly didn't know what to say to him, how was this right? still she didn't want to interfere further in his love life afterall she was still single! What could she possibly teach him?

They took an hour to change them head back downstairs where several vehicles were waiting for them. They showed a little hesitation because they thought he was over reacting but he pacified the situation by telling them that it was for Lilly because she was famous.

In the end they agreed, the convoy left with him giving Lucie temporary power to make decisions. She knew the city best and with her in charge, he didn't have to worry about anything.

Helga and Samuel were there to send them off, seeing them leave he turned to Helga to ask," Are you sure you don't have an ulterior motives for staying?"

" Are you sure you didn't go because you were thinking the same thing?" Helga bounced the same question to which he could only shrug.

" You know it's not right for us to strain your body. Also it's high noon, are you sure you wouldn't soon get bored of it?"

" Why don't we find it out together?" Helga didn't waste anytime. She hugged him from the side enveloping his arms with her as they walked inside.

Helga seemed unfazed by Henri's presence, she had started to get comfortable about public show of affection which might be a good thing.

" Young master, about the lunch.." Henri stopped them as he interrupted their flirting.

" Something light would be fine. For now you should focus more on task in hand. We will need a through examination of our surroundings so that we have give a report to the government. Find someone suitable enough for the job, their fees doesn't matter as long as they are fast and reliable." He gave out few orders to let him get busy.

Henri shouldn't stay idle, leaving everything to Lucie was not a good idea especially when he was thinking about what her next job would be.

He was thinking about leaving the management of talent agency to her, she could start the company from ground up with Helga and others being their first few recruits.

He hadn't finalized anything yet but he thought it would be a good idea knowing that Lucie was loyal to him. She was qualified and would take good care of the company.

They retired upstairs where Helga quickly blocked the windows and closed the door before undressing telling him to do the same.

" You are jumping right into it?" He was shocked by her proactiveness. She didn't even flinch stading naked in front of him.

" I don't know how many hours they would take to return so I have to make the best of it right?" She rushed to him helping him get out of his clothes.

" Why don't we watch a movie or something? I am very tired because I didn't get much sleep last night." Of course he was lying but he didn't want their situation to only amount to them relishing each other's body.

" Movies? Are you talking about 'those' type of movies? I never really paid attention to them but we can-"

" No, no, I am not talking about that!" he was having a hard time keeping himself focus still he vehemently denied any involvement in being interested in such movies.

" There is no need to feel embarrassed. I know that every boy has his special 'stash', once in my town, a mother from by neighbourhood even found it while cleaning his room. It was a big deal because that kid was only twelve!" She said excitedly.

Samuel didn't know whether to laugh or cry hearing seeing her misunderstood everything.
