"Well, it's not exactly because of the kids." Freda chose her words carefully. "The main reason is that the two of you have never really let go of each other."
Carla fell silent upon hearing that. She did not want to admit it, but it seemed like she could no longer lie to herself.
As a matter of fact, Zayn still had an important place in her heart.
She could ignore her true feelings if she lived a single life. But whenever any man tried to get close to her, Zayn would appear in her mind, constantly reminding her that she was his woman.
When she recalled what might have happened between her and Lucas, she felt utterly embarrassed. Regardless of how much she did not want to face it, she knew she probably had committed a mistake.
"Since there's no news yet, let's just stop thinking about it. You should get some more rest in the meantime." Freda tried to ease her worries. "After all, you can meet him the latest by six."
"Yeah." Carla wanted to get some sleep. She had been losing sleep during the nights and she was feeling utterly weary at the moment.
"Let me help you to the bed." Freda supported Carla toward the bed.
Just then, Freda's phone rang. She glanced at the screen and answered the call right away. "Hello, Charles! She's with me. Hold on."
Freda handed the phone to Carla.
"Ms. Lierger, Mr. Giblo is in Regium Hotel of the Royal Club now. It turns out that Mr. Naytr has booked the hotel. There will be a business meeting in the afternoon and a banquet at night."
"I see."
Carla suddenly realized how vague Lucas had been the night before. He only told me that Mr. Naytr will meet Zayn at Regium Hotel. He didn't mention anything about a banquet… Maybe he didn't want me to know too much as he feared I might come to find Zayn.
"The kids are staying in the villa area in the club too and are personally protected by Brandy. I've got the hotel's blueprint, and I've found the location of the villa. If you'd like, I can send some men to get the kids now."
"Good job. Charles, you're without a doubt Daemon's best assistant." Carla was impressed. "But please don't make a move. Let me try to deal with Zayn peacefully first. That's the best for the kids."
"I understand. That's why I'm not doing anything yet. I'll wait for your instruction, " Charles responded.
"Please come back now. I need you to protect Daemon's kids." Carla decided without hesitation. "I'll bring Freda with me into the club. I'll find a way to meet with Zayn."
"Okay."
Hanging up the phone, Carla turned to Freda. "Gather everyone and get ready to depart."
"Got it." Freda went on to it.
When Carla was freshening up, Charles got back and briefed her about the whole situation. Other than that, he also gave a few entrance tickets to Carla.
"Mr. Naytr had booked the entire Royal Club, and no outsider is allowed to go in. Only those with this facial identification entrance ticket can go in. And I've gotten five tickets for you. The identifications are for Freda, Rogan, and the rest. That's the most I could do."
"Wow. Charles, that's impressive." Freda was utterly amazed. "Only you can do such a thing."
"Mr. Lierger trained me well. I'm used to taking care of all the details." Charles displayed a smile. "I suggest you guys wait for a while before you go in. The security will be stricter during the business meeting.
You'll be made known the moment you enter. And if Mr. Giblo refuses to negotiate, it would look bad. If news gets out, it might affect Mr. Giblo's and the Laurent family's reputation. For the evening banquet, you can enter at five o'clock. All the guests will be wearing grand retro outfits and masks. I don't know much about clothing, so you'll have to figure that out yourselves."
