Chapter 53 A perfect gentle man
“We have a meeting with the CEO of HappyFace today also and also, CEO of Estabian and LoliEsther company.”she continued telling him his work for the day.
“I sure have a lot to do, don’t I?”
“You sure do.”Annie nodded.
He stepped inside the elevator and as she made to step inside also, he stopped her.
“Go take the other elevator.”
Something he had never said before.
Annie gave a nod and blinked her lashes then went out.
He shut the elevator and she sighed and moved to the other one.

“Alright, and this is my last cloth. Oh, I would so much love my boys .. do I really have to go?”
“Yes, you have to. I’m sure dad would have been waiting for you now.”Garry replied.
They were in Gracie’s room and are watching her as she packed her luggage.
“But if I go, who would be cooking, cleaning and doing all that for you?”
“Don’t worry mom. We have Annie here and also, Garry girlfriend will be coming over.”
“What?, when did I say that?”Garry scoffed.
“I guess that’s what you wanna say so I said it out aloud for you.”Larry shrugged.
“I will sure beat the hell out of you. Just wait till she goes.”
“Wow, so, Garry has finally gotten a girl of his own?, meaning he wouldn’t be a third party to you and Annie again?, that’s good. But I wish to see the girl before I go.”
“I don’t even have a girlfriend!”Garry protested.
“No, I think you do. You’ve been smiling a lot this days especially when you’re on a call or chatting, and that just explains it all.”Larry replied.
“So because I’m smiling….”
” *Excessive smiling* “Larry cuts in.
Garry scoffed and let’s out a ruffled sigh.
“Because I’ve been smiling excessively, you think I’ve got a girl?. Seriously?, when will your grow up, Larry lard!”
“Alright, that was offensive. But, I’m I fat?”Larry stupidly asked.
“Of course, you are, you prick!”
“That’s bad. Mom, I’m I truly fat?”
“No, I don’t think so. I think Love has blinded Garry’s face that he couldn’t see things clearly anymore.”Gracie replied.
“And oh!, now I’m getting it, now I get it, now I just got it!. That explains it, Larry, think, think Larry.. that means his girlfriend is fat!”
“Mom?!!!!”
“That’s why… yes, he’s seeing his girlfriend in place of you, no wonder he had been smiling to you all those while..”Gracie said.
Now, Garry really lost it as he screamed out.
“You’re driving me nuts!!!!!”
Both Larry and Gracie laughed.
“Do you know, mom?, I sometimes think you love Larry than me.”Garry suddenly said.
“What made you think so?. Of course, not. I love you both equally. If you said that because I’m always on Larry’s side then that’s because he’s the last born. He came last while you came first.”
“Oh, so I’m his brother!”
“Eish… we are twins, dummy…. no brother stuff. You’re probably older than me with five or two minutes. And mom, now, you just spoiled everything.”
“But still, as far as old is concern, I’m still older than you. Just you wait, Larry, I will order you around this house, just you wait.”
“Did you hear that mom?”he shrieked.
“Should I just stay?, if I’m here he wouldn’t he able to order you around.”
“No, just go.”Larry let’s out a smile and Gracie rolled her eyes.
“Do you want me to leave that much?”
“Anyways, mom. You don’t want to go to America to dad, why?”Gary asked.
“Well, nothing. I mean, he doesn’t even know I’m still alive and…”
“And that’s just an excuse, dearest mom. I’m sure the old man would be happy when he sees you.”Larry interrupted.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
“Ugh, fine!”Gracie sighed and dragged her luggage box down from the bed.
“You want me to go?, I’m going!. It’s your loss anyway, you’re the one that’s going to miss me so bad.”
“I will drive you to the airport.”Larry volunteered.
“I should say my goodbye to you at the airport also, so I’m going.”Garry also said and they all moved out of the room.

~few hours later~
The cab came to an halt in front of the familiar gate.
Gracie got down and gave some notes to the cab man.
“Actually, your money is…”
“I know. Keep the change.”she replied him.
“Oh, thank you so much!, ma’am. Thank you!.”the man appreciated with a large smile.
She started walking to the gate and when she got, for some minutes, she stayed rooted there.
She began recollecting those special moments and she sighed.
She tried opening the gate but it was locked so she placed a knock on it.
Minutes later, Nancy came out and came to open the gate.
“Good afternoon, ma’am. How may I help you?”
“Exactly my point. How may I help you?. Who are you?”
“Excuse me?”Nancy scoffed.
“Brown is at home, isn’t he?. And who are you to him?, what are you doing here?”
“That’s.. I’m sorry but that’s a really dumb question to ask.”Nancy replied.
Woah.
Gracie slapped her without wasting time.
Who is this peasant that thinks she can talk to her anyhow?
“Who gave you limbs that a commoner like you is trying to fly?. Do you think the sky is for people like you?. How dare you open your mouth to talk to me like that?. You must really be out of it. Look here, petty young lady, I’m the lady of this house so get the hell outta my way, you nincompoop.”she expounded and brushed past her inside the house.
“Who is that unmannered last there?”came Brown voice from the inside.
“Thank you sir, I don’t know…”before Nancy could complete her words, Gracie yanked the door open and walked in.
Brown was facing the door so as she walked in, he saw her immediately.
His eyes widened.
No, no…
This can’t be true.
“Gracie?!”he called.
“Yeah, Gracie, Brown. How have you been, dear husband?”she asked moving in to give him a peck on his cheek.
This is all seems like a dream to Brown.

Annie walked inside the living room and collapsed on the nearest couch.
“How was work today?”Larry asked.
“Stressful. It has never been so stressful, all thanks to you and Boyd, it was stressful today.”
“I don’t get?”
“Well, Boyd looks obviously annoyed, probably because of the date you messed up by tagging along..”she replied laying much emphasis on *tagging along*
“So?”
“So he look pretty annoyed and is trying to vent all his anger on me.”
“Well, that’s bad of him.”
“Alright, this house looks empty than ever. Where’s your mom?”
“She left already.”
“What?, when?”
“When you left for work?”
“And you didn’t even tell me she is leaving today?. You are bad, Larry.”
“Bad for you, lovely.”he grinned.
He bent over and started helping in removing her shoes.
*Guess I will have to see Boyd tommorow then.*he thoughts
