Seal the Date (2)

After settling the bill, the Lincoln's and Lewis' separated ways.

It was after Michele has seen the text message on Misha's phone. It was from Lyndon and also she has seen the contents. She signaled Rodora to bid farewell first and then they will follow. Rodora played along and dragged Albert out of the restaurant.

Michele has been suspecting the two. She really felt something was off with the two youngsters. Knowing her daughter well, she really can't believe she behaved like an obedient puppy during the entire discussion. She didn't fuss nor reacted to what they have agreed with Lyndon's parents.

She then informed Rodora through a text. She instructed them to hide further away from the restaurant to avoid Lyndon's suspicion.

Misha has been long gone. She left after Lyndon's parents. Michele and Shane are left in the restaurant pretending to order some food. Well, they really ordered. Mich and Shane were foodies. That was the common denominator for them that's why they are still together. For them, there's nothing a food can't do. Whenever they fight, food will always be the solution. Then Lyndon left them. Using the excuse of ''having some trouble in the company."

"Okay son, take care. I hope it's not something major." said Mich, hugged and patted him. Lyndon smiled at his future in-laws. He left them without further ado. A few minutes after, Shane signaled the waiter for their bill and requested to pack the remaining desserts for takeout.

Then they left the restaurant. Shane was observing his wife the whole time. He can tell, Mich was up to something.

"Baby, what are you up to?" he finally asked when they settled in their car.

"Let's follow Lyndon's car." is what Mich just said.

With an okay, Shane obeyed his wife and they drive out from the restaurant.

However, Lyndon did not take his car from the parking area. He just walked instead. Mich saw this and called Rodora.

"Where are you?" asked Mich when she saw Lyndon crossing streets.

"We are just around the corner. I can see your car." Rodora answered.

"Have you seen Lyndon? He's about to cross the street." She then sent a picture of Lyndon under the stoplight.

"Yeah, I've seen him. Where is he going?" Rodora asked her.

"He's meeting Misha. I've seen them texting with each other." Mich said with an exciting tone.

Rodora was baffled with her son's action.

They followed Lyndon secretly.

In the coffee house across the street, Misha is waiting patiently for Lyndon. She booked a private lounge for them. She ordered fruit shake while waiting. The fruit shake arrived but not Lyndon. Her phone vibrated and she picked it up. It's a text from Lyndon. Her eyes read the content of the message.

'I've been followed. See you at my office.'

Misha frowned upon reading this. She doesn't know why this man orders her around. 'Who is he?' she thought. She can't help but comply though; she sends another emoticon of okay. Then she began to type another message,

"Who's following you?" then sent.

Lyndon began walking towards the coffee shop. He's already at the front door of the place when he saw his mother's face reflecting on the glass window. "Shit!" he cursed under his breath. He automatically sent a message to Misha that he's been followed.

He received Misha's text when he was at the pedestrian lane and waiting for the signal lights to turn red.

"Parents." was his short reply.

When Misha read his text, her face becomes horror. "Gosh! Why can't they leave us alone?" she mumbled as she walks out from the lounge and settled her bill at the cashier's counter. She finally walked out of the building and headed towards her car. She headed towards quite the opposite where Lyndon headed.

Lyndon got in his car and drove away towards the company leaving his parents behind. He sent a text to Misha along the way.

'I want to break one of our terms.'

When Misha received this, a smirk formed from her mouth. Then she replied, "What about it?"

"It's the one not having a marriage ceremony." he replied.

"The compensation?" inquired Misha.

"I'll buy you a penthouse." his reply.

Misha replied with an emoticon sign again. While doing this, a big smile was formed in her kissable lips.
