“Hey, Ethan" Matilda greeted as she dropped the last plate on the dining table.

He greeted back, “Hello, sister-in-law." She smiled.

“I told you to stop calling me that."

" What's wrong with calling you that? You are going to be his sister-in-law, not now but in the future.“ Collins chipped in.

Mrs Dawson rolled her eyes. “i***t” she shot.

As all of this went on, Camilla didn't comment on anything as she ate her food, her eyes occasionally going to her phone.

Her mom noticed, “expecting a call?" She asked.

Ethan raised his hand. “Aunt, let me answer that question."

“She nodded. "Her not so amazing boyfriend is busy with work and won't take her call or even call her"

“I will help you call him…who doesn't take their mother-in-law's call" she joked as she called him.

Camilla looked at her for a while before slumping her shoulders as the phone rang for a while and stopped, Ethan immediately raised his hands.

“I have an answer…Frederick." He laughed as he hi-fi Collins

Ethan looked at her. “Don't worry, Everything's gonna…” Camilla tilted her head.

Collins tapped his shoulder briefly and he nodded.

“He meant everything's gonna be okay" Camilla's brow furrowed.

“But he said it like he wants to sing."

“Well, it's from a famous song so what were you expecting." Ethan rolled his eyes

'So that's why Frederick said it'

" Why do you ask though?" Ethan asked.

“And why is that your business?"

“Seems you are no longer depressed by your boyfriend" Camilla's shoulder slumped

…………………….…………..

“Then let's call the police” Frederick shrugged.

“The... The police" the son stuttered.

“Dad, I need to get into medical school... I can't go to jail" the som whispered to his father with fear.

“The women of the society wouldn't want to have anything to do with me" the wife stammered as her face turned pale with fear.

The man frowned as he turned to her, “isn't this your fault…didn't you make the order?" He snarled as he slapped her.

The wife looked at him with shock written all over her face, “why didn't you stop me, huh!"

“Stop your family drama and take it somewhere else, preferably the station," Frederick interrupted the family.

“S…sir, we...we don't have such amount of money please give us some time" the man pleaded.

Frederick smiled. “Of course, I'm not that cruel to not give you some time " the family's eye lit up.

“Give me the money tomorrow with an interest of ten million, add another day and make it twenty million"

“This is daylight robbery!" The man shouted.

“You can also decide to go to the police, I also want to know why the food suddenly tasted differently with you, or don't you want to?" The man cleared his throat as he looked away.

“Okay, we agree to pay with the interest but is there a collateral?" His wife asked tentatively.

“My lawyer will handle the rest"

As soon as Frederick said this, a young man in a suit walked in with a smile.

“Hello there, monster!" Frederick smiled as he went to him and pulled him into a hug.

“Missed you, bro." Frederick said as they pulled apart.

"You are the one who hates going to our get together”

"Look at you, now a top lawyer, huh” Richard smiled

“As if you are not top surgeon now" Richard teased.

“Not really" Richard frowned.

“Why?"

“Leave that, come handle this case"

“You will tell me everything later?"

Frederick massaged his temples with a frown when Richard threw him meds.

“Take it, it will stop your headache"

“Why do you have this with you?"

“Well, I also work overtime sometimes" Frederick nodded as he picked his phone.

He frowned when he saw twenty missed calls. “Who died?" He muttered as he checked who called: three missed calls from Michael, one from Beatrice, one from Mrs Dawson and fifteen from Camilla.

“Three from Michael, nothing to worry about there... If it's an emergency, he would call more than thrice... Aunt Beatrice-"

“What are you mumbling about?"

“I need to take some calls."

He looked at the phone for a while before entering the family group and dropped a message.

💬 What's with all the calls, Did someone die?

After dropping the message, he called Mrs Dawson.

📞 Aunty, you called…is there a problem?

📞 No, dear, Camilla looked sad because you weren't taking her calls so I called you on her behalf.

📞 Okay, aunty

After hanging up, he called Camilla.

📞Millie

📞 Ricky!

📞 I'm sorry, I was busy with work

📞 I miss you

📞I miss you, too

📞 Cheer up, okay

📞 I'm fine now

📞 I will pick you up tomorrow

📞How?

📞I will tell you tomorrow, good night

📞Good night

📞I love you

📞I love you, too

"Your girlfriend is so sweet, she really loves you a lot" Minny commented.

'That's none of your business'

“So rude"

'You want to fight?'

“So dude, how are you a CEO and not a surgeon?"

“It's a long story"

“I have all the time in the world"

&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Ethan and Collins looked at the TV with utmost concentration as they both played video games.

“I'm definitely winning this." Ethan said determined.

“You wish." Collins shot back.

Ethan smirked as he got closer to winning, “I don't think it's just a wish now."

Collins frowned. " How did I get so bad at this."

Collins whined. "Can't a miracle just happen.” Ethan laughed.

“This isn't a fairy-" his phone rang

Collins laughed. “There goes my miracle."

Ethan dropped the game pad and answered the call. "What?" He asked irritated.

📞Hey,bro

📞 Richard?

📞Bro, Are you interested in coming to our get together this year?

📞No, I'm busy

📞Come on dude, I finally got everyone to come, why must you be different

📞 Everyone?

📞Yeah, I even got Frederick to come

📞Where did you meet him?

📞 I'm his lawyer now

📞 Lawyer? What does Frederick need a lawyer for?

Collins paused the game and turned to him. Camilla who was walking down the stairs paused.

📞 Aren't you guys friends? Ask him yourself

📞 i***t

📞 Whatever, I gotta go

“Why does Frederick need a lawyer?" Camilla asked from the stairs.

“It's not your Frederick, it's a friend from The Prestigious School Of The Gifted."

“Oh okay." Camilla replied as she entered the kitchen.

"What happened to Frederick?" Collins asked silently.

”I guess it's not something serious, I will go to the get together and find out"

“Okay"
