Chapter 35: CEO OF FORT GROUPS

"Weren’t we, all this time?"

Lisa blinked her eyes looking at Dove dumbly as she asked that question. "If we were friends, then why did I not know?" She blurted out. Dove shrugged her shoulders and said, "If we were not friends all this time, then why would I talk you sometimes, notifying you about what was happening in my life. And I wouldn’t go out sometimes. Nor we would watch movies together or study. We wouldn’t be sitting in front of each other right now."

Lisa blinked her eyes, and now thought about it all. Yes, wasn’t that right! She had clinged herself to Dove and glued herself to her in such a way that they were technically friends! But her mind was still stuck in proving herself and impressing her that she hadn’t even thought about it in this way. After all, they never talked about it! They just did what they did!

Sigh* So embarrassing. Lisa held her forehead and shook her head.

But the very next second, she turned cheerful and said, "Well that is fine! So as official friends, now lets have a good treat~" And seeing her enthusiasm, Dove too smiled, her dimples appearing on her cheeks. She liked this girl. Being around Lisa for this few months, she knew that this girl wasn’t so secretive about people. She did not even hide any of her intentions with her and would say in her face.

Being with her grandfather and involving in business, her grandfather had taught her one thing very well, that was to read and understand and recognise people.

And that was why, Dove liked Lisa.

"It is finally so good to have the Young CEO of Fort Group, one of the fastest rising security firms in the international business world, Dante Lancaster, with me." And Senior Sterling laughed saying that. Dante smiled at Senior Sterling’s words a little shyly and he said, "You are making it sound like such a big deal, Grandpa. I will be shy."

And he rubbed the back of his head.

If anyone who knew Dante for the last five years, they would definitely have a heart attack seeing Dante shying in this way. He looked so adorable to be his own self. It was a good thing that his men were standing outside the room, giving both of them the privacy.

Senior Sterling looked at Dante proudly. He had been checking on Dante’s business.

His father had founded this security firm in another country. And all those years it had been a prominent firms in that country. In four years ago, since Dante took over it at the age of twenty one, he had made it the top security company in that company, and had made it international. And now they are thriving in the international market.

"So, how is everything going on? And did you finally remember that you have to come meet this old man?" Senior Sterling asked with a fake tone of scolding. Dante looked at Senior Sterling apologetically and said, "I am so sorry, grandpa. It is that, that so many responsibilities came on me all of a sudden. And though I tried my best, I couldn’t really make time."

Senior Sterling huffed hearing Dante, and said, "That’s all excuses."

But though he said that, there was an undeniable pride shinning in his eyes. He was proud of him. And Dante knew that. They chatted a bit about the past memories. Then Dante looked around a little, and cleared his throat. He had been in the mansion of quite a while, and he did not see Dove around yet. From what he had seen and found out about, she lives in this mansion itself. And should be here today.

Is she in her room? He wondered.

"Since, the last time that you had gone from this mansion, when you were still a kid, this is the first time, you have come here to meet me." Senior Sterling said.

Growing up, Dante had always been quite busy running around studying and learning different skills. And he rarely had something called free time. So, whenever he would meet time, oit would be at places, like the company, some cafes, or restuarants, etc.

Dante smiled at Senior Sterling and looked around the mansion, as some of the memories flashed back. When Young Mister and Missus Sterling were alive. He had visited them here for a few years. They were one of the very kind people he knew.

And it is not like he never knew Dove before this. In fact, he had seen here, when he used to visit the mansion. At that time, she was just a baby. And from what he could remember Dove was a very adorable baby. But as she grew up, he had rarely seen her.

And see what has come to right now. Dante after a while, cleared his throat and asked, "Grandpa, where is Dove? I don’t see her?" and when Senior Sterling heard him mention her name, he raised an eyebrow, with something shining in his eyes, and he said, "Oh, you already know my Granddaughter’s name? I am surprised."

Dante internally bit his tongue, before clearing his throat once more, and said, "That, Grandpa, I have already seen her when she was young. And then, you have already mention her names quite a few times that I have talked to you."

Senior Sterling nodded his head in understanding and said, "Oh, so that is it.

You didn’t used to remember her name quite often at that time, and I had to tell you again and again." Dante lowered his head a little and thought to himself. ’That’s because I don’t remember things that I am not interested in.’ But of course, he did not say it loud.

Meanwhile, Senior Sterling stared at Dante while, something was going on in his mind. He remembered his granddaughter saying, ’Dante’. Senior Sterling had not become old and come to this age, with no experience and wisdom at all. Dove was his granddaughter and there was no way, he wouldn’t look into what had happened, specially after she came home in that condition and after so many things happened.

And though, he put his source, what he got in return was that, someone had erased the footage of the hall outside the room Dove was in. And he also knew that at the same time, Dante was also in the city. And though his location, were kept private, he had a room in that hotel.

Senior Sterling couldn’t unravel everything. But from what he could know was that, Dante was the same ’Dante’, that Dove mentioned. Though he still had some doubts in his head. But for now, he knew it was better to not force for the answers.
