Chapter 494 AN UNEXPECTED SITUATION
REAS got out of the taxi and walked into the apartnt building. He felt a bit lethargic because of the intensity of the training this past week. It's actually advisable to just stay in the dorms, but Reas couldn't do it. Because he could only et his brother during the weekends. He didn't want to give up the chance to et his brother regularly just so he could have more rest.
But because he was really particularly tired, he woke up a bit late today. He didn't even manage to do his usual morning workout because he quickly left the academy. That's why it's already nearing lunch when he arrived here at his brother's apartnt.
When the elevator he was on stopped, he walked out and went straight to his brother's apartnt. Since the security on the door recognized his biotrics, he was able to enter the apartnt quickly.
Reas heard movents in the kitchen as soon as he entered. He thought that Astrid must be making lunch. But when he turned in the direction of the kitchen, his whole body froze because of what he's seeing.
There, in the kitchen, a tall man with white hair and golden eyes was holding a knife and wearing an apron. It looked like a scene straight from a horror movie.
Reas started to question his sanity at that mont. Because was he really seeing the General of the Fenris Squad in the kitchen of his brother's apartnt? Or was this just a visual hallucination?
The other, seeing him, also showed a surprised expression. But he seed to quickly co back to his senses and greeted him;
"Oh, you're here, little brother-in-law."
"What the fu—"
Now, he's not only having a visual hallucination, but an auditory one as well?
----------
anwhile, Astrid was in the filming site of the new comrcial he was about to shoot. It was a pretty famous studio in the capital that was a favorite for advertising companies filming for comrcials. Mainly because they had a lot of ready-made props and production staffs that could be hired on the spot. Which was a plus for those who were behind schedule, or had a change in schedule.
Astrid's situation was the latter. This comrcial shoot was scheduled next week. But the director who would film it suddenly had an event he had to attend, so they had to change the schedule. Which Ellis was only inford of today. Making her very pissed.
She and the director had to find a day where Astrid and the latter would both have a free day to reschedule things, and the only day they found was today. When Ellis called him about it, he just opened the door for Wulfric.
That mont was a bit nerve-wracking for him. Why? Because when Ellis called him, the other had just parked her car in front of his apartnt building and was planning to go up at that mont.
Rembering it still made him panic.
=====
"Sister Ellis, no, just stay there. I will be down in a minute," Astrid quickly said after he heard the situation from the other. And then he promptly hung up the phone.
He glanced at his current visitor. Wulfric was looking at him with a question in his eyes, probably worried that sothing might have happened.
"Is everything alright?" the other asked.
"Ahm, yes, I an, everything's okay. I just have a sudden schedule today," Astrid said.
It was a good thing that he hung up the phone quickly, or Ellis might have heard Wulfric's voice. Then the other would probably suspect that sothing was wrong and would go up here. Then she would et Wulfric, and, well, let's just say things would probably not end up peacefully.
He knew that he should probably tell Ellis about Wulfric sooner or later. Especially since he would probably et the other more frequently from now on, considering his promise of courtship. It would be better to give Ellis a heads-up. But letting her know about Wulfric today was just too soon.
He needed ti to prepare himself. Just like how he needed ti to tell his parents about this thing with Wulfric. And, oh, there's also his brother.
"I'm sorry, Wulf. I need to go now. So..."
"Then can I stay here to wait for you?" Wulfric said before he could finish what he was saying. "Promise, I'll behave."
Before Astrid could give an answer, or even think of what answer to give, his Terminal rang again. It showed that it was Ellis calling.
=====
At the end, he agreed to Wulfric's request just so he could quickly go down to et Ellis before she decided to go up. When he got into Ellis' car, it was only then that he rembered that Reas would go back ho today.
"What's wrong? You seem to be a bit antsy since earlier."
Ellis' comnt brought Astrid's focus back to the present. He had just finished his make-up and styling and was waiting for the shoot to start in his assigned waiting room.
"No, it's nothing," he said, trying to show that nothing was indeed wrong.
But deep inside, he was kind of panicking.
It's because his brother still hadn't replied to the ssage he sent him. In fact, the other hadn't even read the ssage he sent. Which was not really surprising, especially if Reas had put his Terminal notification sound to silent. Sothing that the other would do whenever he's busy. And by busy, he ant when he's at school.
Reas probably forgot to change his Terminal settings. If he considered the fact that the other didn't get back ho at the usual ti, then it ant Reas probably woke up late and went straight to his apartnt, forgetting to turn on his Terminal notification sound.
There was a knock on the door and a staff peered inside and told them that the shooting would start.
Astrid stood up and let out a deep sigh.
He just hoped that when he ca back, his apartnt would still be intact.
