Chapter 233: To Return or Not To Return

In the conference room of Frost Industries, Erasmi Frost, Ian Frost and Seb Frost stared at the files in front of them, while Gabe stared at his three brothers with a similar expression from the screen set up against the wall.

Finally, after staring in silence, Erasmi was the first one who spoke," So, we all are agreed that the only person who could have sent this is Demetri..."

All the other three nodded, this time the relief and joy visible on their face. They had been trying to find a way to get into Estania with no possibility but now, they’d received a direct invitation for investment talks from the Prime Minister of Estania himself. But what had shocked them was the proposal enclosed with that.

Though the proposal was well worked out, there were handwritten notes, meticulously stuck in various places explaining any questions they might have. When Erasmi had first seen the file, he’d doubted his own eyes. Finally, he’d clicked the pictures of the notes and sent them in the group... And they’d all agreed that it had to be Demetri...

Ian pushed his glasses over his nose and looked around," Should we tell grandfather of this? He will be relieved. His health has been failing..."

Erasmi shook his head," No. We need to give him something substantial to that old coot. And it would too soon at a stage like this."

"We need to send someone to Estania to consider the possibilities as well as scope out everything. At least with this proposal, we know that we were headed in the right direction in our search." Seb nodded, looking at the papers carefully.

"It’s too bad that Lucy decided to give up on the mission," Ian added. " I can go to Estania. I’ll get my team ready by tomorrow and we can leave..."

Gabe shook his head and spoke to the screen," No. You need to handle the Global Strategy Symposium. and we cannot wait until you return..."

Seb sighed," The Hotel is also hosting a lot of diplomats for the National Summit so I cannot leave either... That leaves Lucy..."

"We need to send him. He’s already been trying to get there so that should be of help." Gabe agreed.

While the others also cautiously nodded, Erasmi spoke up," I don’t think so. Lucy just had his heart broken..."

"What do you mean broken-hearted?" Ian and Seb both looked in Erasmi’s direction at that.

"Haven’t you guys been reading his messages?"

In sync, both the brothers grabbed their phones and started to scroll through the chat," He doesn’t sound..."

"F**K! The boy went and fell for the girl he was supposed to seduce!" Ian muttered while Seb could only scratch his head. It doesn’t say anywhere that he fell for her..."

Showing his phone’s screen to Seb, he pointed out the messages that Lucy had sent at odd hours," I don’t think she is that bad." Another one read, "There may have been some mistake." "I am going to be confessing the truth tomorrow. If she agrees to help I’ll go with her or else we have no option but to look for another way."

"Da*n! This is bad!"

"Did he confess about that plan? That idiot! If he’s fallen for her, he should have simply made it into reality. But are you sure that she is a good person and he has not been fooled." Seb asked.

"We can judge Lucy’s judgement and you know it. So, what do we do now. He is coming back to nurse his broken heart?"

"He wants to. But I have a different idea." Erasmi leaned forward and soon all the other three were nodding agreeably.

"No wonder your expertise was strategy! You’re good! Let’s do it! As older brothers it is our duty to bully... I mean help Lucy..." Ian nodded cheerfully as he started typing in the group..

*Group Chat*

Ian: Lucy, don’t come back yet. You are going to Estania.

Lucien: No, I am coming back.

Ian: Nah. You are going.

Lucien: Coming back.

Ian. No. You are going.

Lucien: This is ridiculous! Why can’t one of you go?

Ian: Did you confess already?

Lucien: No. But

Seb: No your bu**. Your team will be joining you tomorrow in Estania. It is decided

Lucien: I don’t want to go. Why do I need to go? I thought they were not allowing us to enter the country. If they are allowing now, there are four of you over there who have the same surname as me!

Erasmi: There has been a change in plans. We’ll update you. Also, you going there was a unanimous decision so it’s not up for discussion.

Lucien: But why? Expansion is not even my forte...

Seb: What unanimous? I am telling you I want to go to Estania. I will seduce the princess Evangeline quickly and not wallow in guilt like Lucy here. LET ME GO."

Ian: Seb might have a point... Maybe we can consider this if Lucy does not want to go... Seb can charm the stockings off the princess...

Seb: Who cares about the stockings! She can keep wearing those, I’ll charm off the rest...

Before anyone could say anything more, Lucien Frost had sent a picture to the group that caused all the brothers to laugh smirk

Ian, Erasmi, Gabe and Seb all stared at each other before laughing out loud.

*flight tickets to Estania in the name of Lucien Frost*

Gabe shook his head and murmured," Lucy is surely on his way to rush to Estania. What does he think you are Seb?"

Seb shook his head mockingly and sighed," Even my brother thinks I am a man wh*re..."

"That is because you are," Ian pointed helpfully.

While Erasmi rubbed his hands together, " Looks like we are going to have Nora back soon as well as a new sister in law. Come on boys, get busy, we need to be ready to watch the show when the time comes..."
