The question piqued Megan's interest.
“Of course I'll go for Economics and Management, Like Aunt Debbie. Hopefully,
after graduation, you'll find me a slot for work in your company. It would be
exciting to be part of your team at work,” she enthused, smiling from ear to ear.
Mulling over her excitement, Carlos cast her a meaningful glance.
“Okay. An Economics and Management School in the United States is pretty
good. You can—"
Before he could finish, she interrupted him.
“Uncle Carlos, thanks for the generous offer. But I'd prefer going to the
Economics and
Management School right here in Alorith. I don't want to study abroad.
That would be like sending me away from you. I don’t know how I could live far
from here,” Megan pleaded earnestly as she grabbed Carlos’ sleeve and looked
at him with innocent doe eyes.
But Carlos simply drew his sleeve out of her delicate hands and poured himself
another glass of wine.
“We'll see,” he said, sounding distant.
Taking Large gulps, he downed the glass without another word. He was
watching, trying to see what she'd say next.
“Uncle Carlos, you've had too much already. Let's go back home,” Megan
suggested, looking at Carlos, who was leaning against the couch now his eyes
shut as if in deep contemplation
When he opened his eyes, he took the phone out from his pocket and handed it
over to Megan.
“Call Tristan and ask him to drive me home.”
“Sure.”
Megan input the password, but to her surprise, it was wrong. Jealousy flooded
her as she knew it must have had something to do with Debbie
She took a deep breath and said, “Uncle Carlos, I have no password.”
With his eyes closed once again, he told her the numbers without even bothering
to look at her.
On call, Megan seemed to have poor connection in the private booth.
Tristan couldn't hear what she was saying.
