"Why did you know my great grand?""I will answer your question if you tell me your name first," Levi smirked. The girl just raised her other eyebrow.
"Madison," she told him after a moment.
"Madison?"
Madison sighed. "Madison Chen."
"Isn"t supposed to be Williams?" Levi wanna know every detail what happens to Carlisle and Marivella"s daughter. He even interested what Charles Montfort been doing after his love died and keep her daughter.
Madison gave him a doubtful look before she answered. "My family never uses it but grand Marivella"s name."
"Why?" He curiously asked.
Madison shook her head and laughs. "I think I have no reason to tell you about my family."
"I have my reasons."
"Really?" Madison give him a scornful smile.
Levi becoming mad. This woman is treated him like a hateful person, he noticed that. Every woman he meets showing their interest on him and would die to flirt with him because of the name he is carrying, except for Ca.s.sie. She is modest and demure, a fine lady and always given a friendly smile even she will be bullied back in days she"s living in Paris. He wonders if Ca.s.sie even know how to get angry.
But the woman in front of him is such the opposite one. She looks wild, rebellious and stubborn. He sighed.
"How about a cup of coffee? Come with me and I will tell you everything I know, in exchange you will answer my questions," Levi invited her.
She was still looking at him sharply like he is a dangerous man, but in the end, she sighed and accepts his invitation.
"Fine…"
"Good! There is a coffee shop I pa.s.sed by, 100 meters from here. How about we have a formal talk there? I don"t want you to think I treated you inappropriate made you talk in the middle of the road," Levi stated.
"Then, let us meet there," she agreed. Of course she is familiar of this countryside. Madison put back her helmet and ride her bike and left him.
"Wait, mademoiselle!" Levi was left stunned, the girl just left him behind? d.a.m.n it. He murmured. Looks like, he will have a hard time dealing with this girl. Clearly, she is truly had a head strong cannot please easily.
Levi shook his head and went back to his car then followed Madison. The girl already found a spot inside the coffee shop and it is isolated from the rest of the customers. She even already had an order. Levi was really astounded of this girl"s character.
The moment he seated, he right away ordered a black coffee and the waitress giving him that treatment he often received. He secretly glance at Madison and she just give her an eyebrow rose upward.
"Now, you can start telling me everything you knew." She ordered him which made him dumbfounded.
Since he met this girl just several minutes ago, there is nothing she acted but like his superior. His mother not even treated him like this, she is a fine lady. Well, she acted like a Williams he knew and he is calling him again.
"Yeah," he answered his phone.
"Don"t yeah me," the other line talk. Levi is certain Shun making that expression again. He and Madison are alike, giving authoritative aura even the guy was a thousand miles away.
"Any updates?" Shun asked him.
Levi stared at the girl seated across him who totally ignores him now. He sighed.
"Nothing yet, am still doing my investigation, asking few people possible would give me leads," he lied, yes.
"Alright, update me right away if you found them. Ca.s.sandra and I is sailing back to the island tomorrow, don"t forget to report even a small detail.
Levi laughs. This guy really thinks he is his servant. Madison is now looking at him curiously so he winked at her. Madison was stunned and she is now giving him sharp gazes that amused him.
"Sailing back? Are you not going to use a plane or your private helicopter?" Levi continued talking to Shun.
"No. I organized all the victims families of that s.h.i.+pwreck to give the bereaved family a chance to mourn for the last time and of remembering them properly. What everyone knows are it caused by a storm and engine failure, however, everything was because of Julius Kang… he paid the owner of that s.h.i.+p to hide the investigation report. That s.h.i.+pping company is going to bankruptcy and Julius Kang invested to them using the Young"s a.s.sets in exchange for hiding the truth. I really wanted to kill Julius Kang by my own hands."
Levi felt Shun"s anger. Even he, was also felt sorry for Ca.s.sie. "You haven"t tell her about it, right?"
"Yes," Shun answered him. "I just finished talking to the CEO of that s.h.i.+pping company. Out of his regretness for keeping a silence all these years, he wants to give the company as it is recovered originally because of the Young"s fortune."
"Huh. Really? What was your decision? Would you take it for Ca.s.sie? That company would cause her pain."
"I know. That"s why my lawyers will do an investigation and make an audit if how much shares Ca.s.sandra have on that s.h.i.+pping company."
"Alright, that"s all. I have a meeting with the coast guard and media who wanted to cover that Sorrowful moment for the families so am hanging up."
"Wait, what did you prepared? Is the weather alright?"
"Ah, yes. Perfect on the evening because it is low tide, the seawater will have a stillness att.i.tude tomorrow. I"ve prepared lanterns to light and flowers to offers by every family."
"Hmm… that"s a great idea. You do really planned it will for Ca.s.sie."
"Of course, the s.h.i.+pping company lends their s.h.i.+p as well for everyone who will attend."
Levi smirked. He could have imagined how Shun is grinning and proud of himself now.
"Okay, looks really are a busy preparation."
"Yeah. Don"t forget to call or email me when you found out about them."
"Yeah," Levi is about to hang up the phone when his ear caught that familiar voice, it was Ca.s.sie. He listens to their conversation and Shun told her he is talking with him.
"Levi?" Ca.s.sie speaks.
"h.e.l.lo, Ca.s.sie…" he listens to what Ca.s.sie asks him and he answered. She asked about their friends and Cara.
"Yes, they were very happy and excited to see you soon… Yes…" After a short talk they bid goodbyes. "Okay, goodbye Ca.s.sie. Have a safe travel tomorrow. Yes, bye…" their conversation ended. He put down his phone on the table then pick up his coffee. Ah, it is cold now.
Levi looks up to find the waitress when his eyes caught on how Madison look at him. She is giving him a scornful gazes and devilish smirks.
He gives her dark gazes instead of how she teases him through her expressions. "What?"
"You are in love with her."
Levi was dumbfounded. Is he that obvious? "Huh. How sure are you that I am?
"Of course, it is written all over your face when you were talking with her, but you look bored when you talk to the first person."
Levi was surprised. This woman, he can"t just show any obvious expression in front of her, she is good on determining them.
"Who are they?" Madison asked.
Levi look her in the eyes. How foolish he is if he told her that those two he just talked a while ago are the reincarnation of her great grands, she surely laughs and won"t believe him.
"You will know in the future."
"Really?"
Madison is giving him again that kind of att.i.tude.
"Then tell me now who you really are and how did you know about my great grand? Tell me everything," Madison demanded.
His mouth dropped. "Stop ordering me, I know what I must do! Am sure you are younger than me so respect a person that is older than you," he keeps his calm, hardly.
"What are you talking about? Surely I am older than you." The girl not showing to lower a little.
"Really? I was born in 1998," Levi answered.
"I do too," she answered.
"Then I am older in months!"
"Probably, I am…" Madison lifted her chin while crossing her arms over her chest.
"I know, I am older than you," Levi insisted.
"What"s the big deal?"
"The thing is, stop being a hard headed on me!"
"What a joke," Madison can"t believe with this guy.
"For your information, I was born on September," she announced.
Levi was a bit surprised. "Then?"
"I was born on September 22, 1998 on--"
Both of them paused, they have the same birthday?
"Exactly 6:09 in the evening."
They said together. Shocked, they look at each other unbelievably.
They are not only born at the same date, but at the same time... in the same place?
"At Salvador Mundi International Hospital..." duetly, they told each other.
