25

Henry couldn't stop staring at Louisa who was currently sitting and eating right in front of him. It had been almost half an hour since Louisa had eaten there with him. And Louisa who looks pensive occasionally and stops eating her food. Henry had never seen this side of Louisa before, and he was both curious and worried. Slowly, Henry extended his right palm towards Louisa, then tightly gripped Louisa's left palm there. Louisa looked startled, and was surprised to feel Henry's grip on her hand. Louisa blinked a few times and looked at Henry. Then a small, doubtful smile appeared on her lips. 'Are you worried about something, Louisa?" Henry asked. "No... it's nothing, Henry. I just... um, you know after the fire in the data building, I had a hard time to concentrating for many things. There's a lot of work that needs to be reworked once again, and it's going to take even more time to do," Louisa tried to explained. Henry was silent for a moment. He felt sure, if that wasn't the only thing that Louisa was currently thinking about. There must be something else bothering her mind and also her peace. But Henry decided to put a smile on his face. "No problem, Louisa. I'm sure that you and the Tomkins House staff will be able to do all the work so well. And will produce something even better. I can also help you. Don't worry, I'll definitely help." Louisa slightly widened her smile there, then nodded her head slowly. "Of course, I know, you will definitely help me..." Henry nodded his head, before finally going back to eating his food there. Likewise, Louisa returned to eating her food, and occasionally hoped that Henry would not ask her the same question. She really wasn't sure she'd be able to lie a second time right now. Louisa just kept thinking about all the photos and letters she received earlier. A small part of her felt sure that it was all done by Mr. George, her uncle. But another small part of her was convinced that it was all done by someone else she never wanted to be remember. "Louisa..." Henry called slowly for a moment after drinking the mineral water in his glass. "Yes, Henry?" 'Do you wanna go on a date with me tomorrow?" Henry asked with a pounding heart and a goofy smile on his face. Louisa was taken aback. Never thought that Henry would ask that at this time. Moreover, after their first date at Henry's house that time, Henry still hadn't really asked her to go on a real date. Louisa couldn't hide her happiness about it, even though there was a lot of doubts in her heart right now about Henry and Jane, she thought it would be a good idea to try to go on a date with Henry while confirming all the truth behind all of this. "Sure... of course I would, Henry. I will go on a date with you." Henry immediately leaned forward towards Louisa, and rubbed the left side of Louisa's face, before finally giving a kiss there. Louisa closed her eyes and returned the kiss slowly. There were a lot of fireworks and butterflies surrounding Louisa's feelings right now, even though it was very difficult to say in simple words. 'I will make this date very beautiful and perfect for you, Louisa." Henry promised. *** Louisa couldn't stop thinking about the date Henry would arrange for her. Or maybe it could be said for both of them. Louisa couldn't even hold back her patience to stay at Tomkins House much longer. She really felt very excited. Shee didn't even realize that she had been smiling ridiculously in her office. With a dreamy mind, remembering Henry had left two hours ago. 'Gosh, all of this feels so annoying. Why do I have to sit quietly in this room… and why is the clock so slow today?" Louise grumbled. Louisa got up from her chair and walked up and down there. Really couldn't hold herself back. Brug "Oh my God. Shit..." Louisa jumped there in surprise, when she accidentally bumped into a cassette that was at the bottom of her desk. Louisa was silent for a moment. She remembered the tape so damn well. Then slowly Louisa crouched down and grabbed the small black cassette there. 'This is an evidence tape of the perpetrator who started the fire in the Tomkins House data center building. I have to be careful with this thing. I... have to focus on being able to uncover all the truth. This will be a great tool to uncover everything. I have to take care of this thing." Louisa immediately put the small black cassette into her bag. Louisa was silent for a moment. He felt overwhelmed with herself and quite a difficult feeling to control in her heart right now. She felt that she was not the Louisa who for the past five years had worked very hard with the Tomkins House company. "Why do I feel like I've lost myself more and more now?" She muttered with an uncertain feeling. 'I could have done a lot of things to make the data center building firefighter regret it. But why didn't I do it right away? What other evidence do I still need to find and gather to do all that? I've definitely chosen the legal route to settle everything... I've proved it by bringing Uncle George to court on my behalf and on behalf of the Tomkins House company. But, why am I starting to be hesitant about the same decision right now? Is it because I feel that there are still many truths that have not been fully revealed in my current life?" *** "Okay. Take it slow, babe. I don't want you to get fall. Watch out, there is a small hole in front of you!" Henry gave a hint and surprised Louisa who was in his arms right now. "Gosh, Henry, if you hadn't covered my eyes with a cloth, I might have seen exactly where the hole was right now." Louise grumbled. Henry chuckled there, and tightened his grip on Louisa's body even more. This is a good plan to be able to give a romantic date surprise. Moreover, since she was in the car, Henry had put a cloth over both of Louisa's eyes, so that Louisa wouldn't know the surprise he was about to give to her. And Henry felt very tense with the reaction that Louisa would give to all the things he had prepared since then. "Okay, there's still a few more steps to go, babe." Henry reminded, and Louisa obediently listened to him. "And until." They both stop there. Henry slowly started to remove the cloth covering Louisa's eyes, and immediately stood right beside Louisa. Didn't stop for a moment to stare at Louisa who started to slowly open her eyes. Louisa slightly opened her lips there with her eyes looking in disbelief at what was in front of her right now. Right now the two of them were in a garden, there right in the middle of the courtyard, there was a table with two chairs by its side. On the table were candles, food and drink. In addition, there are small decorative lights that surround the table and there are also scattered rose petals. 'Henry, you… you prepared all of this alone?" Louisa asked doubtfully. Henry nodded his head. 'I promised, that I would really take you out on a real date. And I don't want to break my promise to you, Louisa." Louisa turned her head towards Henry and smiled with emotion. 'Thank you… this is very special to me. And all of it is so beautiful... I can't be surprise anymore. You always can give me a surprise, Henry." Henry immediately grabbed Louisa's hand and approached the table there, then sat down together. As soon as Louisa sat on the chair, she felt the vibration of the cellphone in her pocket, she bent down to glance at her cellphone, while Henry opened the bottle of drink. On her cell phone was a message from her uncle, Mr. George. 'I warned you, Louisa. Stay away from him or I'll act my way.'
