Twenty Fourth Chapter

With the mention of Einstein's name, her face showed disdain.

"I am smarter than him. Can i tell you a secret?"

"Hmm."

She beckons him to lean. John obeys. Eager to what she will reveal.

"I technically taught him the emc2." She proudly expressed.

(Plot Armor! Einstein made emc2.)

The brain of John buzzed. Looks at her in the most unbelievable way.

"Yes. We have correspondence to prove it." She shrugged like its no big deal.

"Want to hear more secret?" She smiles as she is proud of her intelligence.

"Einstein asked me about General Relativity. Light. Time. Space. Mass. Gravity. But i declined to answer. He is too stupid and ill equipt to understand the makings of the world." She added.

John nodding thrice.

"Better not help him. I heard he left his wife for brothel girls." John states.

"I heard. Is that gossip true?" She got amused.

"I suppose. Esme, i have a question..."

"What?"

"How old do you think the universe is?"

"Universe?" The word is new to her.

"Oh." Face smacks cause its 1912. They dont even know there are other galaxies ans blackholes. Humans still think space only have rocks.

Edwin Hubble and Georges Lemaître have not looked up the stars.

"Universe is..everything. Earth, stars, galaxies, space and time."

The brain of Esme registering the information she just received. No answer because no data to process.

Esme stumped. Then she found a source which an answer is viable. She thought of the bible but digress to believe such stupid book full of genocide, adultery and genocide and rape.

"I believe i have no answer to that, John. I cannot measure it. What is a galaxy? How did you come up with Universe?" She leans to him with eagerness. She wants to learn.

"Sky, a little help here."

"Boss, you did this to yourself. Sky, signing off."

"Sky. You freaking traitor!"

So, the entire lobster meal was spent by John throwing in bits of knowledge about the universe.

The longing for knowledge of the unknown drawing her closer to John because he painted her a new world.

"John, i wanna see the stars." Her hopeful glee filled face.

Seeing the breath taking beauty, he inhales deep.

Concentrate. Focus.

"We can. I'll make you. So we can measure the age of universe."

"So that we know when it will die?" She smiles.

"Ah..."

"With age. It always comes with an end. Therefore if the universe has age, it will end." this crucial thinking of Esme separates her from all humans in the current time.

She accepted what John told about the universe because her super treasure brain already got the formula of proving how to prove John ideas. She just need to see.

"Maybe in the future. But not now. Dont worry. Ill make you a telescope that can see the farthest distance. Maybe we can see other Earths where other life forms live."

"Yes. Great! John, how do yoi know all these? Its clear your not smart as me nor smarter than that bofoon Einstein. But somehow you know."

"Gee...thanks for the vote of confidence."

She dont understand the joke.

"Would u believe i came from the year 2023? And all these knowledge are public knowledge? Or i got super arti...only 2023.." if he says he got Skynet, he will mess her brain again. He explains openly.

"Time travel? Haha. Eat more. You're saying funny thigs again."

"Haha. Right, Esme, what is your itenerary after lunch?"

"See the construction of the bank."

"Family bank?"

"No. My bank. Do you know? There is a rule in our family that women or girls don't have business in the family business."

"I didnt. Now i know. You came to America to start you own. Prove them you can do better than the men in your family. Right?" He expects family drama from the richest family in the world.

"Prove to them? Those stuck up hairless apes? I dont have to prove anything to them. I just came here because of what we said.."

"Freedom."

"Yes. You can come with me. Lest, you have schedule this afternoon."

"Ill go with you. If we know each other fast. Then we can marry each other fast too." He jokes.

"Chuckle. We have the same idea. What a coincidence." Esme laughs.

"Hahahaha. Do you love me now that much, my lovely Esme?" John moves.

Esme blushed. "Not. I just want to make you tell me other novel knowledge yoi know all the time."

"Oh...then why are you blushing."

Esme looks at him. Covers her cheeks. She got redder.

"Im done. See you in an hour." she hurriedly escapes.

"Hahahaha."

The laughter of John resounded in the restaurant.

Hurrying, Esme still blushing, her eyes sparkles.

"How can he say my love openly. Have he no shame? Irregardless...is this how it feels to be in love? It feels...nice..." she said to herself as she walks out.

"Hehe. Thank you allverse!" He thanks allverse for letting him meet Esme.

(This is so cheesy. The author just throw up. Sorry guys and girls for the romance.)

Meanwhile in Westies.

"Connor! What happened to u?!" A man with red mustache grabs the hand of Connor covering his red face.

"To you all?"

"Italians! They come in here and jumped on us!"

"Yes! Those Italian tomatoes!"

"Damnit! When did this happen? How many are they?!"

"Two but they have metal rods." Connor execused.

"What? Which family?"

"Camorra kid Bruno D'Antonio and someone he called Signor de Vere."

"A frenchie?"

"No...he sounded English scum."

"Do not worry cousin. I will avenge you." The gangster cousin comforted Connor.

Connor smiles to his goons.

The goons smiles too.

"Cousin, can i get in? Im ready. I want to be full pledge Westie." Connor determined.

"I will to talk to the boss."

"Thanks cousin."
