Chapter 83: Planning A Huge Marriage Ceremony

"I don't have any idea; let me place a call across him and know what is delaying him and what I should also do about the devil of a kid," Charles said to Adrian before dropping the bottle of drink he was holding and taking his phone, and placing a call across the old man. __________________ After some minutes of ringing, the old man finally picked up. "Good afternoon, sir," Charles greeted him. "Good afternoon, Charles. How are you?" The old man asked Charles. "I'm fine, sir. What about you?" Charles asked him. "I'm fine too," he said to Charles in reply. "Actually, I wanted to ask you about Xavier; it's been a while since you promised me that you were going to take care of him, but nothing has been done about him," Charles said to him. "Ooh, about that, I totally forgot about that, but don't worry, I will take care of it as soon as possible," the old man said to him. "Ok, no problem, sir; I will be waiting for your feedback," Charles said to him. "By the way, how are you and Sarah doing?" The old man asked him. "We are good, sir; actually, we are getting married next month," Charles said to him. "Wow, that's wonderful. I hope you are planning to organize one of the biggest wedding ceremony that will ever take place in New York City?" The old man asked him. "Actually, I'm not planning to organize a huge event, just a simple wedding with family and friends; I don't want to draw too much attention," Charles said to the old man. "What!! Come on, Charles, you are a billionaire, so act like one. What would people think about you when they discover that you just organized a simple wedding ceremony and in addition to that, you didn't even invite them, especially your investors and your clients?" The old man asked him. "People might also start thinking that you got married to Sarah for a bad motive, and that's why you hid it from the public," the old man said to Charles, and he sighed heavily. "Okay, sir, I will organize a very huge wedding ceremony just as you instructed," Charles said to him. "Okay, perfect. About the expenses, if you think that it's too much, simply send it over to me," the old man said to him. "No problem, sir; when we are done with everything, I will send you the expenses," Charles said to him. "Okay, son, have a nice day then," the old man said to him. "Same to you, sir," Charles said before hanging up. Once he hung up the call, he dropped the phone on the table before taking the drink, opening it, and gulping it down like water. "So what did he say?" Adrian asked Charles afterwards. "Well, he said that he forgot to take care of Xavier, and for the wedding, he wants me to organize a huge wedding ceremony," Charles said to Adrian with a deep frown. "Then what's with the angry face?" Adrian asked him before bringing out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and a lighter. Without hesitating, he took one stick and lightened it up before drawing the smoke and puffing it in the air.  "Well, I don't want to organize a huge event and start drawing undue attention. It's not as if we are going to leave together forever; it's just for a short period of time until the old man gets what he wants," Charles said to Adrian before collecting the pack of cigarettes from him and taking one stick and placing it on his lips before lightening it up with the lighter. "Well, you are right, but before doing something, first think about your reputation. What will people think about you after discovering about the wedding? Mind you, there are these hungry reporters out there who are always looking for something to talk about and whose image they are going to ruin next, so I will advise you to do what the old man asked you to do," Adrian said to Charles before drawing the smoke from his cigarette and puffing it in the air. "No problem, bro, I will do as he instructed; after all, he's the one who is going to take care of the expenses; I might as well include my personal expenses," Charles said to Adrian before puffing the smoke of his cigarette in the air. "And here I was, thinking that you have changed and become a good boy," Adrian said to Charles with a mockery tone. "Well, I'm not a chameleon; I'm a man, and men don't change," Charles said to Adrian before taking the drink on the table and gulping it down. "I still can't believe that the old man forgot to take care of Xavier even after I informed him that Xavier is a big threat to me," Charles said to Adrian after dropping the bottle on the table. "Well, to be sincere, I'm still finding it hard to believe. Also, are you sure he really forgot?" Adrian asked Charles. "Well, that's what he said," Charles said to him. "And that's why I asked if you were sure, because, as far as I know, the old man hardly forgets things like this," Adrian said to him. "Well, there's only one way to find out," Charles said to him before taking his phone and placing a call to someone. "Who are you calling?" Adrian asked him. "I managed to get the contact information of one of the old man's personal men; I'm sure he will help me out,Charles said to him, and at the same time, the call was picked up. "Hey Charles, how are you?" The voice of the person sounded through the phone. "I'm good. What about you?" Charles asked him. "I'm good too; please, I need your help with some information. Can you help me out?" Charles asked him. "Yeah, of course; after all, I'm owing you a favor," he said to Charles. "I wanted to know if there had been a mission on Xavier Quim recently." Charles asked him. "Yes, actually, the old man sent some men to kidnap his son, but none of them came back," he said to Charles. "Okay, thanks a lot," Charles said to him before hanging up. "So?" Adrian asked him. "Well, the old man made an attempt, but he failed woefully," Charles said to him. "I hope you have seen the reason why I told you that Xavier is a silent poison. In anything you do, just stay out of his way; the old man is the only person who can take care of him," Adrian said to Charles. "Well, I was never planning to get on his way; that's why I gave him over to the old man. I hope he takes care of him as soon as possible before he does something stupid," Charles said to him before puffing the smoke of his cigarette in the air. To be continued...
