CHAPTER NINETY-SEVEN (FIRST DATE)

Mylar stayed with her friend until she packed up for the day. After packing up, she followed Charice to her house.

"What the fuck are you doing with another girl on my bed?" Charice yelled in shock after seeing her new boyfriend with another girl from the hood.

"Charice, listen." The young man with dreadlocks tried to explain but Charice wouldn't listen. She used her bag to beat up her boyfriend and the girl, Mylar even helped out.

After chasing them out, Mylar made coffee for Charice and then they both sat down. That was when Mylar asked.

"What will you do now?"

"About what?" Charice asked placing her cup down.

"Your boyfriend just cheated on you." Mylar said surprised at how Charice was taking things calmly.

"Do you think I care." Charice said smiling.

What! Mylar exclaimed and Charice said still with a smile on her face.

"I am gonna get myself a new boyfriend by next week or earliest, this week itself."

"Girl, you're bad." Mylar praised her.

"Hey, don't pull that stunt with me. We both know that you are a professional at ditching guys and you don't get dumped, you dump guys." Charice said also praising her.

"I don't do that..." Mylar said playfully and they both started laughing.

The maids struggled to take Diego, Mrs. Lucia and Mrs. Sofia to their rooms but they kept making it difficult for them.

"You are so sexy babe." Diego said to Martha, she moved away from him in shocked after hearing this and he fell down with a thunk. The two other maids looked at themselves and burst out laughing.

"Maids, get me my shower cap, I need to take a bath. Make sure to add my very special rose petals to it." Mrs. Sofia kept murmuring to herself.

Mrs. Lucia was also busy talking about her social media page and the latest designer outfits currently trending in town.

"Come on, we need to take them in quickly." Martha insisted and pull Diego up from the ground.

"What is going on here." Someone thundered from behind them, they didn't get scared this time around and turned around quickly but frozed when they saw the person behind them.

Mr. Mateo!! They all chorused.

"Oh Gosh, I told you guys to hurry up with this, now we've been caught by sir." Martha said sadly.

"Did they drink again?" Mr. Mateo asked and the maids looked at one another.

"Oh my God, what kind of family do I have. My wife, daughter-in-law and grandson are all drunkards. What did I do to deserve this?" Mr. Mateo kept saying and suddenly bursted into tears.

"Shut up Mateo. How can you say such a thing about your darling wife?" Mrs. Sofia yelled at her husband, she staggered and almost fell down when she tried to walk on her own.

"Please take her inside before she humiliates herself even further." Mr. Mateo said to Camila and Helena, they both nodded and supported her on both sides as they took her inside.

"Father-in-law, why are you stopping me?" Mrs. Lucia asked with a sad face, her cheeks were so red that they could be mistaken for apples.

"Stopping you from doing what?" Mr. Mateo asked and she replied.

"Stopping me from jumping into the swimming pool." She started laughing while they all looked around wondering where she had seen a swimming pool.

Mr. Mateo made a sign at Dave to drag her inside. Now only Diego was left, he kept cursing at his granddad.

"I won't do it. You can't control me just as you controlled my dad, I won't allow it."

"You are just a terrible monster who only cares about himself. You are pure evil."

"I will no longer give you time. Your first date is going to be tomorrow and that is final." Mr. Mateo said angered by his grandson's word.

"Whatever, old man." Diego said waving his hands before his granddad. The maids came back and helped to his room.

The next morning, Mylar woke up and saw a message on her phone, it was a message from Mr. Williams saying that she should meet him at La Rochelle a fancy restaurant situated in one of the best neighborhoods in Atlanta Georgia by 10am sharp.

"Why are you up so early?" Charice asked when she got up and found Mylar in the kitchen making them pork sausages and tea.

"It's 9 O'clock Charice, I should be asking why you woke up so late." Mylar replied her and shook her head.

"Whatever." Charice said with a smile and a wave of her hand.

"I received a text from Williams." Mylar broke the news at the dinning table.

"Wow, really?" Charice asked excitedly.

"Yeah, wants me to meet him up at Le Rochelle restaurant by 10." Mylar said and Charice asked.

"Cool, I hope you're going?"

"Sure. Can't miss it." Mylar said with a smile and then her phone started ringing.

"Who is it?" Charice asked when Mylar's happy face suddenly turned sad.

"Mrs. Claire Rodriguez." Mylar replied with a squeezed face.

"Will you answer?" Charice asked and she nodded. Mylar picked the phone and placed the phone on her ear without saying anything.

"No one is speaking. Is she there?" Mylar heard her mom saying to someone in the background and then Mylar finally spoke after a minute.

"What do you want from me?"

"Oh my. My dear, you scared me, I thought something happened to you. You know, you didn't come home last night and so I thought I should call, you know like a responsible mother that I am." Mrs. Claire said and Mylar could hear her chuckle after saying that.

"Stop pretending and tell me what's up? Did you finish up all my food in just one day?"

"Oh my dear, not everything is finished, we still have pasta but we really need some milk, cheese, probably some eggs..." She kept going on and on that Mylar was forced to cut the call.

When she finally stopped talking, she realized that her daughter had already cut the call and so she phoned Mylar again.

"Please dear, try to consider your siblings. They haven't gotten to eat any breakfast, please dear." She pleaded with Mylar and even emotionally blackmailed her.

Mylar then sent her a little money out of her savings and her dear mother didn't bother to call back aftef receiving the money.

Diego woke up with an hangover but found a hangover tea already on his bedside table, he wonder who would have made it for him but quickly drank it to relieve himself of the headache.

He took his bath, wore the clothes that have already been arranged on his bed and the shoes by the bedside. He combed his silky black hair, took one long look at himself in the mirror and smiled.

He spoke his usual motivational dialogue while looking at his reflection.

"Diego, you are charming. You are deserving and any girl will be lucky just to spend a night with you."

After that, he went downstairs, breakfast was ready, Mr. Mateo was already present at the dinning eating but as usual Diego didn't even bother to tell him good morning but Mr. Mateo didn't seem to care today.

"Where are the women of this house?" Mr. Mateo asked Lea, a young maid who was serving him more food.

We are here! Mrs. Sofia and Mrs. Lucia chorused as they came downstairs together.

"Good morning father-in-law." Mrs. Lucia greeted with a smile. Mrs. Sofia went to her husband and gave him a kiss on his forehead while she said.

"Good morning darling."

"Good morning." He greeted them back and asked suddenly.

"I hope you all did not get hangovers."

They were shocked but quickly guessed what would have happened and felt embarrassed, Diego was unmoved and expressionless.

"Father-in-law, sorry, we." Mrs. Lucia tried to explain but he stopped her.

"Let's leave it at that."

Martinez! Mr. Mateo called to his P.A and a man in his forties came running in with glasses on and a file in his hand. Mr. Mateo collected the file and threw it across to Diego.

"What is this, old man?" Diego asked.

"I am sure you can read, young man." Mr. Mateo replied with a rather mischievous smile.

Inside the file were the details of a beautiful young lady, her picture, address, family assets, her achievements, details about her school, her likes and dislikes, just everything one needed to know about her.

His grandma and mom were busy stretching their necks to see what was inside the file.

"No need to stretch so much that your neck breaks. Those are the details of Diego's first date." Mr. Mateo said to them.

"What? Let me see Diego." His mother said and hurriedly collected the file from her son. She and her mother-in-law both went through the details.

"And he is supposed to meet her by 10 today, that is absurd." His mom protested.

"How will he get there early, it's already 9:30." His grandma said in support of what her daughter-in-law said.

"It's as if you both want me to go on this date? Why don't you just tell this old man to stop." Diego yelled and got up to leave.

"Sit down, Camilo Diego Wylder." Mr. Mateo ordered but Diego stood glaring at him.

"Diego, sit down. Sit down son, please." His mom pleaded with him holding him by the hand, he looked her and then sat down.

"I don't care who you think you are but if I were to take away Wylder from your name then you will become a useless man." His granddad stared at him angrily and continued talking.

"You are nothing without my surname and if you do want to find out how useless you are without that name, then don't go on that date." Mr. Mateo smiled at Diego and went away from the dinning.

"Damn that old man." Diego cursed at his granddad but his mom hit him on his back.

"Stop that." She cautioned him.
