Chapter 66: Don't Trouble Her
"Yeah, Chance give me two minutes" Saying this David went inside leaving the door open.
She ignored them and went to her room.
"Samantha?" Chance followed her and called her before she could go inside.
"Yeah?"
"What are you doing here?" Chance again asked her, he wanted to act normal and this is what any normal person who is unaware of the truth would behave. If he doesn't ask her anything then she will surely doubt him.
"Why should I answer you?" Samantha instead questioned him.
Chance smiled when he heard her question, "Right, you don't need to" he added, "No matter what, I am just glad we meet again"
Saying this Chance turned around and headed to David's room.
"My love is finally here" Chance happily informed David after closing the door.
David helplessly shook his head.
"I hope you didn't trouble her"
"Why are you so concerned about her? Should I call Mia?" Chance warned him.
"Dude chill, I am not a daredevil to fall for an assassin and that too someone like Danger-Ace. She is an amazing assassin; you are better than her only because you are more experienced and uncle trained you since you were eight years old."
"Why are you praising her so much?"
"Just got off the topic, what I am saying is don't trouble her by asking her a lot of questions. We already ruined her mission even before her arrival. Not asking her awkward questions is the least we can do for her" David tried to convince him as he felt bad for Samantha.
"David, I am Chance, for some time forget that I am Grim Reaper, now when I suddenly see the love of my life show up at a conference dressed in formals, will I not be surprised?"
"Yes, you will be"
"That's why I acted like that, don't worry after this I won't ask her other awkward questions but if she meets you then you too need to look surprised seeing her there, don't act like you knew she would be here. She is fucking smart, if she sees through you then everything about us will be compromised. Don't forget we are here to convince her to join us for mission L"
David nodded his head, "Yeah, I just wanted you to stay in your limits but I guess you are all prepared."
"Of course, I am, now let me check the presentation and prepare myself for other work"
"Sure"
After being done with their preparation, Chance went to his room to wear his suit again as after lunch it was time for his conference.
The two men then headed to have lunch.
The lunch arranged was in the style of a buffet where everyone showed their IDs and entered the dining area.
Chance and David then discussed work seriously, after he was done Chance glanced around the room when his gaze fell on Samantha who looked lost in some deep thoughts.
"You start eating, I'll be back" Chance informed David, to which David agreed as he knew Chance will now execute next part of their plan of having Samantha with them as she will be their alibi for Ms. Garcia's murder and they will be hers.
"Hey, why is my love looking so confused?" Chance teased her
"Huh umm, I… nothing, I am fine" She was startled and didn't mind his words.
Chance was happy with her response, "Wow, so you accept you are my love?"
Samantha looked embarrassed.
"Lunch?" Chance politely asked her as that was his main aim, to keep her with him and also, he didn't wish to trouble her.
"Sure, if you are not busy"
"For you I will never be busy"
"Chance, please"
He laughed at her reaction and they headed to the lunch buffet.
"I am sorry for my behaviour earlier" Samantha apologized to him.
As soon as she apologized Chance realized that somehow, she would include him in her plan. Right now, all her focus was on Ms. Garcia, she couldn't care any less about him so her apology only meant she would be using him in some way.
He got excited with the thought of it.
As he too wanted the same, that's why he kept thinking of ways to come up with to keep her with him till Ms. Garcia dies and the news of her sudden demise is announced.
But now he realized she wants to be near him to execute her plan. Although he couldn't see and predict what exactly her plan is, he only realized this much and was relieved that she will be with him.
He wanted to create strong alibis for them so that if anything went wrong, they two are not at all implicated.
"When you say earlier, you mean today morning, or for your behaviour of two months back?" He had to tease her and drag things to make everything seem normal.
"Hey, I was very nice to you two months back, what did I do wrong?" Samantha looked wronged by his accusation.
Chance laughed at her words, "Haha sure"
"By the way, I applied as an external attendee to attend this conference, I just wanted to learn a few things about the business world, that's why I am here and since it is a proper corporate event, I am dressed like this" She explained.
'Awe, my love tried to come up with an explanation for me. She cares about me.' Chance happily thought.
"Oh, but you know right that you did not need to explain yourself to me." Chance wanted to make this point clear to her just for a future reference. He wanted to let her know that at any point if he asks her anything and she doesn't want to answer then she does not need to.
"But you asked me earlier"
"Yeah, because I didn't expect you to be present here so it was just a casual question."
"Still"
"Today I am representing my company and have a presentation at 3 PM, would you like to attend it?" Chance asked her directly, he didn't wait for her to ask him in case she might have different plans and this was the estimated time of death of Ms. Garcia so he directly asked her instead.
"What are your plans after that?"
"Nothing much, my conference would end at 4 PM, then I am free for the rest of the day."
"Oh, then will you rest or attend other events?"
"Hmm, I have no such plans, why? You want to spend some time with me?" Chance teased her but he could see she had something going on in her mind.
"No, asking you casually"
"Oh, I'll see how my conference goes then will decide after that"
'Ms Garcia will anyway die by then, sorry love' He thought to himself.
"Okay"
"So, would you like to attend my conference with me?" Chance again asked her.
"Sure, I will be attending all the conferences from now on"
"Nice." Chance didn't ask her anything else.
They took their lunch and joined David at his table.
"Hi Samantha" David casually greeted her.
"Hey David"
"I thought you were a florist" David pretended like he was confused to see her dressed in a formal attire as Chance warned him to do so earlier.
"Yeah, attending this conference as an external attendee, wanted to learn a few things."
"Are you planning to start your own business?" David asked her.
"Yeah, a start-up" Samantha lied.
"What kind of a start-up?"
Chance wanted to beat up David. Earlier he told him to pretend to be curious and not be so enthusiastic about Samantha's life. She was clearly lying and David was now the one troubling her, Chance decided to interrupt their conversation when Carol suddenly appeared.
"Hey guys, you already started without me?" She asked them.
Carol was their third business partner who has now taken over her brother Lucas' position. He was the original partner.
Carol joined them at the table and she was acting all weird but Chance ignored her actions. Carol then suddenly greeted Samantha who greeted her back.
"How do you know Chance and David?" Carol asked her.
"Around two months back we met in Hawaii"
"What?" Carol suddenly shouted in surprise as a few days ago Chance told her and all his friends about Samantha and how he intends to marry her, he did say she was the woman he met in Hawaii.
Carol was very upset when she got to know about it but then Mia and Abigail informed her that this woman never contacted Chance again so she was relieved but now seeing the woman Chance loved right in front of her eyes, Carol felt insecure. Even more because this woman was prettier and attractive than her.
There was something about this woman that made Carol very conscious about herself.
Chance glared at her to keep quiet so having no choice she didn't say anything else but Samantha questioned her why was she acting like this and Chance just came up with a silly excuse.
