" Do you think that I can visit Helga's doctor for consultation in private?" Roberta suddenly asked while they were in bath.
" Are you feeling sick?" He asked in a worried tone. He knew they were exerting theor bodies a lot these past few days.
" It's not that...." Roberta strangely hesitated for a while. It wasn't like her who always said her mind without carrying about what others think still she knew that it was important.
" I am running low on pills. I am worried sothing could go wrong since you know, we haven't been using protection." She sheepish reminded him.
Katarina might not care much about it which was way Roberta was the responsible adult and sharing so of her things with her.
She might not ask him but they were in countryside far enough from any pharmacy which made her desperate.
He blinked at her for a while knowing what she was worried about but still didn't forget to tease her but he went about it indirectly projecting the question to Katarina who still didn't know thr content of their conversation, she was busy washing his back intently.
" Katarina, what do you think about children?" Experience exclusive tales on empire
" Are you talking about Elise? I think she is a good and well behaved girl." Katarina misunderstood his question.
" I am not talking about her but having children of our own."
Contrary to his belief, she didn't fluster but answered," Why not but I have to discuss things with Helga and first find a good job so that I can support the family."
He wasn't discouraged, he said," But we have been doing it for a while, don't you think it's dangerous?"
" It could be but I always believe that everything happens for a reason, I am sure we can figure sothing out but I still want to co clean with Helga and others."
" Roberta has been asking about those pills, I can arrange a eting if you want to go with her." He changed the subject knowing that sneaking behind everyone's back was weighing heavily on her mind.
" But my mother told that those are harmful for the body?"
" You didn't tell her about it?" Samuel in turn asked Roberta whom he was facing. She looked confused but understood what he was talking about.
" I tried to tell her but without Genevieve's help it's impossible for us to understand one another. Since she too was in the dark, I normally ask her to take it with ."
When he told her about the pills she was taking with Roberta, Katarina told him she thought thise were vitamins. She was understandably angry at Roberta for deceiving her but when the latter profusely apologized they hugged it out to nd the misunderstanding. After all, Roberta was only looking out for her.
Samuel also inford them about his supposed 'condition', they were shocked to hear that he was infertile but when he told them it was dically induced and they could remove it whenever he wanted, the tense situation cald down a little.
They were still on the edge because they never heard about such advance dical techniques but he reassured them that it's a well hidden thod only accessible to elites. His lies had beca elaborate as he had already had this conversation several tis at this point.
Since they were not in a hurry, they decided it was best to think about it in the future. They haven't known each other for long but for so reason, they knew that they wouldn't be able to carry on without him.
After so well needed rest and so quality ti together in bath, they quickly cleaned up joining others back at the mansion.
Elise protested about his absence telling him that she would complain about him neglecting her to Kayla and Mayra but when he vowed to grant her another wish she decided to forgive him albeit reluctantly. Her wishes were important but not as important as him spending ti with her.
He hugged her as everyone gathered in the living room again, Elise was happy to spend ti with everyone, boasting anwhile hearing their praises.
Henri was also ecstatic seeing them spend ti together, he arranged few activities to fill their ti like baking together in kitchen which led to Samuel surprising them with his cooking skills.
He thanked everyone but clearly stated that it was only a hobby but so chefs priased him for his knife skills and veteran decorum, he reluctantly agreed to asist them for dinner to make so of his signature dishes.
These monts let staff learn more about their new boss. At first he looked unreachable which was further exaggerated when he fired soone and even berated the stable staff for their mistake.
With his noble deanor and handso temperant, everyone thought he was too perfect to mingle with them. But seeing his different side really opened their eyes centing him as a regular young man if one took out his 'otherworldly' looks.
He didn't really care about it, he only wanted Elise to be happy. As long as she smiled, he was ready to do anything for her.
Before dinner, he did invite Raphael and his team for a eting. After going through Raphael's proposal to bolster security, he gave him a green signal but still told him to consult his personal guards for any weaknesses.
He also told him few secrets about his hidden enemies. For now, Raphael only needed to focus on protection the mansion but after few days, he also tasked him to see the arrangents for both the LVHM party as well as fashion week venue.
These matters need to be kept secret so he asked these tasked to be joint mission. It would help Raphael learn more about how Rothschild security team worked also giving Samuel so ti to assess for any leaks in Raphael's team.
He might trust everyone in the room since he was a radar for detecting ill intentions but he couldn't go through their friends and family who could inadvertently expose his movents. He dismissed the eting after reminding about the strict privacy of the job, if they were not up to it, they could leave with generous pay for following Raphael. Fortunately, there were no deserters.
Samuel left to make the dishes he promised before joining everyone at the dinner table for their al.
