Chapter 558
Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison
The both of them gathered up all their trusted subordinates and told them to check everywhere in the hotel that they were going to hold their wedding in.
They rented the whole hotel. Of course, the hotel was one of the hotels under the Duran family.
Ever since they decided to hold their wedding there, the hotel temporarily stopped their business. For half a month, they were preparing for their wedding.
Sarah didnât care about the losses. She wanted to have a perfect and extravagant wedding. She wanted to leave herself and Travis good memories.
Even though a small accident had occurred, she still wanted to ensure that the wedding would finish smoothly.
There were no other guests in the hotel. This meant that they only had to check the wedding guests who were coming tomorrow and the hotel workers carefully.
The hotel had a lot of workers, but she asked only a fourth of them to stay to prepare for the wedding.
She investigated the background of the remaining workers thoroughly. Only then did she decide to keep them.
There was a possibility that these workers might betray her if someone threatened them, or even threatened their families.
But she wouldnât let uninvited guests in. Everyone who came in would have to go through a security check. There was a low possibility that the hotel workers would suddenly gain the ability to murder someone or possess a gun.
She checked the insides of the hotel, going through every part one by one. Then, she told her trusted subordinates to check the hotel workers again.
She also asked her trusted bodyguards if they saw anyone suspicious.
On this day, Travis and Sarah spent the whole day checking for suspicious people and reviewing the hotelâs security.
Georgia got to finally rest for a while around noon. She walked outside and saw Robert.
âWhy are you waiting for me here? You can go home and rest if youâre done talking to Riley. I can only head home at night.â
âI havenât been waiting for too long. Lunchtime was coming up soon, so I thought of waiting for a bit to have lunch with you. I also havenât talked to Antonio and your other colleagues for a long time. So, I wanted to have lunch with you guys.â
Robert and Georgia went to the labâs canteen.
Antonio sat down together with them.
âThe food here isnât too bad.â
Robert smiled after taking a bite.
Antonio said to Robert.
âRiley hired five stars restaurant chefs for the canteen. He is really dedicated to the base. Before I started working here, I visited the area, and it was filled with top-notch equipment. Every type of testing equipment was available. He invested at least a few billions in these apparatuses.â
âIt seems that Riley really cares about Miss Shelby. He planned everything very well here. This place is his sweat and blood.â
Georgia asked curiously.
âMiss Shelby?â
âHe spilt some beans when I was talking to him today. Thatâs how I know that her surname is Shelby.â
âYou guys sure get along.â
Georgia laughed. She lowered her head and was about to start eating. But then, she noticed a woman holding the food tray and was walking towards them.
âCan I join you guys?â
Leda asked Robert, Georgia, and Antonio. Each bench could fit two people, so four people could sit at the table.
Robert answered before Georgia could say anything.
âIâm sorry, we are discussing some private matter. Itâs not so convenient for us to have you here. Thereâs an open seat over there. Miss Leda, maybe you can sit there instead.â
Ledaâs face turned bleak upon hearing Robert, but she tried to force a smile.
âAlright, then Iâll go there.â
She left after saying that. Georgia was impressed with the way Robert handled the situation.
âYou actually rejected her. I thought you would let her sit with us out of courtesy.â
âIf I really did that, I would have to sleep on the sofa tonight. Iâm not that stupid.â
Georgia and Robert were flirting. Antonio frowned.
âIâm stuck working in the lab without rest for a very long time and havenât got the chance to sleep with a beautiful woman. Please stop flirting in front of me, otherwise, Iâll skip out on work and go out to have some fun tonight. I have some inspiration, so, please tone down your flirting.â
Robert and Georgia looked at each other and conversed in a softer voice.
They talked about what Riley and Robert discussed today. Robert didnât tell Georgia about drawing blood, he only mentioned that the decision was to split everything into fifty-fifty.
âYou mentioned before that Riley was a fusspot, hence he wanted to talk to you face-to-face. But you donât really care about the result or anything. Itâs so odd.â
Georgia sighed. Robert smiled and didnât say anything. Soon, Georgia went back to work, and Robert headed to his office.
He had an important meeting in the afternoon and his participation was mandatory. Even though Randy was the CEO, Robert was still the chairman in name. He had to show up once in a while to see how the group was faring.
After seeing Robert off, Georgia was ready to continue working.
She met Leda when she was walking through the corridor.
Georgia smiled casually and was planning to go ahead, but Leda halted her in her tracks.
âMiss Lane, you donât have to be so wary around me like Iâm some kind of dangerous criminal. I just treat Robert as one of my favourite memories from when I was young. I donât like him anymore and Iâm not planning to steal your husband from you. I just feel nostalgic when I see him sometimes and want to have a little conversation, I donât mean anything else. Weâve grown old, hence the nostalgia hits hard sometimes.â
Georgia didnât answer and Leda continued to talk.
âThereâs this saying, but I donât know if you know it. It goes good times donât last long.â
âSo, youâre saying that no love lasts forever and that one day Iâll break up with Robert as you did, right? And Iâll be an ex to him like you, Miss Leda. Is that what youâre trying to say?â
Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison Leda smiled bleakly.
âI just wanted to tell you that Robertâs taste in women never changed. I was a replacement for someone else and so are you. One day if that person finally comes back, youâll become nothing. But I really have no intention to steal Robert away from you because he doesnât love me anymore anyways. Miss Lane, donât pour all your heart and soul into one person. Itâs dangerous.â
Leda left after saying that. Georgia was dumbfounded.
But she believed what Leda said, that Leda wasnât expecting Robert to fall in love with her again. Leda believed that she and Robert wouldnât be together anymore.
But the part where Leda said that they were just replacements. Georgia didnât really understand what she meant there.
She thought Leda was Robertâs first love. Did Robert have any other lover before her?
Too bad Robert had just left, otherwise, Georgia would grab him by the collar and ask him directly.
How many people did he date? Why were they all bothering her so much?
But she remembered that Robert didnât have any memories of his past. He didnât even know who Wesleyâs biological mother was. Georgia took a deep breath.
âCalm down, calm down. Maybe Leda was just spouting nonsense and trying to form a rift between Robertâs and my relationship. Letâs ignore her and go to work...â
Georgia said to herself and prepared herself mentally. She then returned to the lab and continued working with Antonio.
Robert was back at the office. Before his car entered the parking lot, he got a call from Randy.
âRobert, come in from another door. Dora is here causing trouble again. I thought she was so hurt that she wouldnât have the energy to come bother us. But then she suddenly appeared. Maybe she heard that you were coming in today for the meeting. I donât know where she got the news though.â
Robert laughed abruptly.
âLet her in. If she wants to see me, then let her be. Sheâll soon give up.â
