Dinner 2
“Why don’t you have a girlfriend? You’re forty years old now, but you don’t have one girlfriend yet. You’re handsome. Your friends are uglier and poorer than you but they already have boyfriends.” Lorenzo’s mother was confused, because she thought her son is handsome, rich and kind. So why doesn’t anyone want to be girlfriend or wife with her son?
“You know, I’m busy making money and business. I don’t have time to find a girlfriend.” Indeed, Lorenzo has been busy with work and he has never had any intention of getting married other than with Blanca, because Lorenzo loves Blanca very much. For Lorenzo, it will be better if he died single than marrying another woman than Blanca. Lorenzo really wants Blanca to be Lorenzo’s first and last love.
“Yes, Honey. Lorenzo is indeed busy with business and making money. Don’t think about children! Just let him do what he wants, Honey!” Lorenzo’s father tried to get Lorenzo’s mother to end the topic of conversation about Lorenzo’s girlfriend.
“But, Honey, we are old now and by the time we will get older…” Lorenzo’s mother’s complaint was cut off by Lorenzo’s words, because Lorenzo felt that there was not a problem.
“Then, what’s the problem? Isn’t it okay to die single? Most importantly, I’m rich and can buy anything with my money, right?” Lorenzo frowned, because he did not understand what the real problem was.
Lorenzo’s mother’s tone immediately weakened, because she felt that what her son and her husband had said is true. “Yes. That’s true, but I really hope for grandchild. I want to play with my grandson or granddaughter before I die. Neither you nor Trevor have given me a grandson or a granddaughter. I want one of you to give me a grandson or a granddaughter.”
“Honey, don’t think about it! We can be happy together before we die.” Lorenzo’s father tried to cheer up Lorenzo’s mother’s mood. After that, Lorenzo’s father immediately turned the conversation towards business.
Not long after, the food and drinks they ordered came to them. After that, the waiter put the food and drinks on the table. They immediately thanked the waiter and then began to eat the food and drink. While eating, Lorenzo thought about his mother’s words.
Indeed he and his parents are not young anymore, but he did not have a girlfriend or a wife or offspring. Will he die alone? Who knows! He did not know.
Even though he had sex with Blanca, but does Blanca want to marry with him? That’s what Lorenzo kept thinking. Not to mention he was reminded of the moment he acted to be Trevor to Blanca. This made Lorenzo’s face tense and he panicked even more, because he was afraid that his parents will find out what had happened.
“Lorenzo, what’s your problem?” Lorenzo’s father was curious, because he saw Lorenzo’s tense face.
“Problem?” Lorenzo frowned. He pretended that he didn’t know about what his father was talking about.
“No problem, Dad. Everything is okay.” Lorenzo shook his head quickly. He tried to show in front of his parents that he didn’t have a big problem. After that he tried to be relaxed, but still he couldn’t.
“Then why do you look so nervous? You don’t usually like this. Are you having a problem?” Lorenzo’s father suspected that there is a problem in Lorenzo’s life that made Lorenzo very tense.
“No, no, Dad. There’s no problem.”
“I think the same with you, Dad. Just talk to us! We will definitely help you as much as we can, Lorenzo. Just like in the past when the Hotel Sans Siguiente was built, you borrowed my savings.” Lorenzo’s mother persuaded Lorenzo to talk about the problem that time.
The words “Hotel Sans Siguiente” reminded him of the moment he had sex with Blanca. His face turned pale. His heart was beating face. His hands immediately trembled and soon the knife fell to the floor.
He immediately took the knife. He tried to keep his parents from finding out what was really going on, but Lorenzo’s mother intercepted Lorenzo. “Lorenzo, just leave it! The knife has fallen to the floor.”
“No need, Mom. It’s okay,” said Lorenzo as he picked up the knife that had fallen.
Lorenzo’s mother immediately called the waiter. “Waiter!”
Not long after, the waiter came toward her. After being near Lorenzo’s mother, she immediately asked, “Is there anything I can help, Ma’am?”
“Please bring me a new knife for steak!” Lorenzo’s mother ordered.
“That knife fell on the floor earlier.” Lorenzo’s mother pointed at the knife Lorenzo was holding. This made the waiter immediately look at the knife Lorenzo was holding.
“Okay.” Not long after, the waiter left them and they waited a while until the waiter came to them and brought a knife for a new steak. After that, the waiter took the knife that had fallen.
“Then, why did you eat steak so nervous until the knife fell like that? Since you were little, you’ve never eaten steak like that. You must be in big trouble.” Those Lorenzo’s mother’s words that forced Lorenzo to explain his reason, but he chose to remain silent.
“Okay! Just talk!” Lorenzo’s mother tried to persuade Lorenzo again.
“Is this about the competitor problem?” Lorenzo’s father guessed about the problem that happened to Lorenzo.
“Nothing about that, Dad.”
“Financial problems?” Lorenzo’s father guessed again. Lorenzo tried to remember about the financial problems that occurred recently. Not long after, he remembered that recently he needed huge funds to build Hotel Sans Cielo, the first cloudtop hotel to be launched in his city.
Sans Group and Vargas Group are trying their best to get investors’ passion to invest their money in the hotel project that they are going to make. At that moment, Lorenzo immediately nodded his head and afterwards he acknowledged the matter. “Yes, Dad. I have that problem.”
“Why, My son? Usually you don’t have a problem when it comes to money.” Lorenzo’s mother frowned, because she was confused. For her, Lorenzo is a person who is good at managing finances. So there shouldn’t be a financial problem, but why did Lorenzo have a financial problem then? That’s what confused her.
Afterward, Lorenzo explained about his financial problems and Lorenzo’s parents watched carefully. After Lorenzo explained, Lorenzo’s father immediately understood Lorenzo’s problem. “Oh. Financial problem for the project. How much money do you need?”
Lorenzo mentioned the amount of money he needed again and the project from his business in detail. After that, he said, “Yes. Indeed, the capital of this project is not small and we are currently in need of investors. Maybe mom and dad are interested.”
“Oh. If that’s the case, I’ll just transfer right now!” Not long after, Lorenzo’s father took his phone. After that, he transferred some money to Lorenzo’s account number.
After transferring, he informed Lorenzo. “Okay. I have transferred it!”
Lorenzo immediately took the phone. After that, he checked the balance in his account and then he found the balance had increased. “Thank you, Dad!”
“Your welcome, My son. If there’s a problem, just say it! Don’t be quiet! We will definitely help you.”
“Okay.” Lorenzo nodded his head and he could smile again. After that, they continued to eat dinner that time with their parents while they talked about their daily life at that time.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
