Chapter 9: let's do a slumber party!

Klan excitement had also spread to Cali. The discovery of this sister was so sudden that Cali began to bombard him with questions:

" How did you know?" she began, " how is she? did you talked to her?"

Klan, despite his excitement, takes his time answering Cali's questions

"She visited our father the other day at the company, they had a heated discussion by the way. I did my little investigation and discovered her true identity. She is a strong and hardworking girl, plus she not easily intimidated also…"

Klan takes on a shyer voice

"No, I haven't spoken to her. »

" Why? You look so excited thought"

"Well, you know, my two younger brothers consider me their enemy because I'm the one who would probably inherit the presidency and Yaelle could also hate me for the same reasons or because I'm the son of the father who denied her existence or because I had an easy life unlike hers…"

Klan's grandparents were, admittedly, adamant regarding their principles, but no one could deny that they had spoiled him.

"These are just excuses; I knew you much more optimistic than that"

"Ah but I'm still very optimistic, I take comfort in the fact that I already have you by my side, you're the sister I've always dreamed of" he said, when laying his head on Cali's shoulder.

"Instead of dreaming of having a sister, go and bond with the real one"

"That also seems difficult, apparently my grandparents don't know about Yaelle's existence and if they did and didn't talk about it, it must be a taboo topic. You know how strict they can be… as strict as they are nice!"

"Who's nice?" asked a voice behind the two young people

Nena, Klan's grandmother, had just burst into the room, her expression was bright and smiling.

" Tell me! what are you chatting about? who's nice?" she asked with curiosity

Klan walks up to his grandmother, hugs her and gives her a kiss on the cheek when saying

"Of course, it's you! you're the nicest"

The two cuddled each other's and Cali couldn't help but admire this cute display of affection.

" I almost forgot!" said Nena, "Cali you're spending the night here, aren't you?" she asks, more excited than before

"Hmm… that is to say… I didn't tell my parents so…"

" Oh! but I can take care of it!" she exclaims

"Yes you should stay! we'll have a slumber party here in my room and…" Klan is interrupted in his speech by the suspicious looks in Cali and his grandmother eyes. They didn't need to speak for him to understand their thoughts

_Klan was widely known as a womanizer. if a girl had to spend a night in his room, that would have been like she was throwing herself into the wolf's den_

"Yuck! who do you take me for? Please! I wouldn't dare pounce on Cali... ". His explanations didn't seem to convince his audience, "I also have my principles, you know and Cali is practically my sister-in-law, my brother's girlfriend, she is... like my sister!" he said, pretending to be outraged by this lack of esteem on their part.
