Chapter 278: Going home together

''He said he wished that you settle down and give him a grandchild''

Andy chuckled as he listened to her. he found it extremely funny that she still hadn't given up and was still using underhanded means to tie him down. He looked at her and asked, ''really?''

''Yes Andy, actually I understand uncle. I've been by his side for the past ten years and I really care about him. You see uncle wants you to settle down that way his heart will be at rest''

''Can you get straight to the point?'' Andy was becoming impatient with her. He was in a good mood and now he felt headache creeping in because of Betty. He knew there was something else she wanted to say and was just beating around the bush.

Betty smiled. She could feel that Andy was not going to like what she was about to say but since she had started it, she might as well finish it, right? This was the only way she could have him to herself.

''Well Andy, uncle went and met with my mom and they discussed our engagement'' she said and looked at him. He was nodding his head with a smile.

''My father met with your mother to discuss about our engagement? Since when did I say I was getting engaged to you? You are really, relentlessly tenacious. Do you want to get married to me that much? Even though I have zero feelings for you? Betty, what is the exact reason why you are pushing this engagement ahead so zealously? Am I that good of a man to you?''

''Andy I'' she smiled shyly.

''Betty, leave my room. I want to be alone'' Andy suddenly said startling her. She looked at him. ''If you won't leave, then I will''

''No, no. I will leave. This is your room'' she was afraid that he would end up going to sleep at that woman's place if she kept insisting, so she stood up. she looked at him for a while before taking her bag and left the room.

Andy laid on the bed and sighed. He took out his phone and started scrolling the gallery. He stopped at the pictures he took of Paula that day at the orphanage and smiled. He clicked on the instructions icon and looked at the instructions.

''do you want to change this into your wallpaper?'

He chuckled. It was a crazy idea but why was he so into it? without thinking much into it, he quickly tapped on it and changed the screen of his phone to Paula's picture. She was smiling and it looked like half of her eyes were closed. This was the most beautiful picture to him because he knew she was genuinely happy at that moment.

He placed the phone next to his heart as he drifted into sleep.

.

Soon, the trip was over and it was time to go home. Paula was refreshed and her mind had cleared up a lot. She felt at peace and didn't have a lot of worries. She had also completely let go of that jerk Gideon. She didn't care about him anymore. Now, she wanted to return home and get a job. She couldn't continue to be a NEET for so long. She had also thought about Andy's suggestion and was planning to invest the money into the game company.

''Time to go, Paula. I can now go back home with a clear mind'' she murmured before taking her luggage bag.

Andy looked at his phone. He had scrolled down to the contact of Paula and was staring at it. he wanted to call her, ''should I call her and ask her to go with me? No, it will raise suspicious. But, I really want to go with her, what do I do?'' he pouted his lips and sighed. He was in a predicament. He stood up and picked his car keys and went out.

At the reception, Paula pulled her luggage bag out and found the other tourists already moving towards the bus outside. She looked at her wrist watch and turned towards the administration block. She looked at that side for a while before going away.

When she left, Andy and Max came out of that direction and walked towards the bus. They were going to give the guests a farewell gift. Two workers followed behind holding bags of wrapped gifts.

When they got into the bus, the first thing he did was look around until his eyes found the one person he wanted to see the most. He smiled subtly before looking away.

It was just fleeting moment, but Paula found her face getting redder. Her heartbeat also increased as she looked at him. He was now addressing everyone and she found him really handsome. She subconsciously touched her forehead and quickly shook her head.

''Hi everyone, we have finished our weekly tour and I just want to say that we the workers and organizers are very grateful that you allowed us to host you. I wish you all safe journey back to City B and as a thank you we have a special package for all of you so Max will give it to you in the bus''

A lady at the back lifted her hand at that moment and Andy saw her. he pointed at her and asked, ''yes do you have a question?''

''Yes, I want to know if there will be another trip like this one or is this the end?''

''Yes, there will be. We plan to organise this quarterly, so look out for it next quarter of the year''

''That will be good'' the lady said. She was among the three women Paula walked behind a few days ago.

Paula looked at her and shook her head and muttered, ''did you have so much fun?'' she didn't know why she was getting unreasonably angry at the woman.

''Alright, everyone. Safe journey and let's meet again, this quarter'' Andy said and turned to look at Paula. He had an impulsive thought of going over to pull her out of the bus and make her go with him. He really wanted to do it but he stopped himself. He wasn't a kid, what was wrong with him lately? He thought and smiled before getting down from the bus. Max and the two workers distributed the gifts in the bus.

When Max got to Paula, he smiled and stuffed a note into her hands and went ahead to distribute the gifts. He didn't give anything to Paula and she was confused. She immediately opened the paper and read it.

''Your gift is with me. If you want it, then, consider going home with me''

''Andy?'' Paula looked outside and saw him leaning against his car. She flushed and looked around her. This was such a tricky situation, how was she supposed to get up and go out without been looked at?

Paula bit her lips and cussed under her breath, he always puts her on the spot. She looked out again and saw that he was looking towards her. ''Why is he looking at me like that?'' her cheeks heated up.

Her phone buzzed and she looked at it. it was a message from Andy which read, ''the bus won't move if you don't get down first, Miss''

''Ayssh, this man is so crazy'' she muttered and typed back. ''My luggage is in the booth; I can't leave''

''Your luggage is in my car, the only thing left is your body. Bring it over here or the bus won't move''

''What? This crazy man'' Paula shouted and everyone turned to look at her. She flushed and bowed her head apologetically before taking her handbag. She clutched her fists tightly against the bag and stood up.

Aware of the eyes that followed her, she hurried out of the bus with Max and the two workers. But she didn't go straight to Andy. She went to hide behind another car that was close by. Immediately she got down from the bus, it took off and she cussed. She couldn't believe the nerve of this man.

After the bus drove out of the premises, she came out of her hiding and was about to turn when she heard a voice behind her.

''I thought you were going to sleep here'' Andy said and she turned and looked at him.

''You'' Paula was speechless.

''Let's go'' Andy said and held her hand.

''Wait I don't understand. I clearly kept my bag in the booth myself. How did you get your hands on it?''

'Where there is a will, there is a way'' he smirked. Off course, he had called the valet who was assisting the guests to load their luggage and had asked him to put her luggage bag into his car instead.

''Do you know how embarrassed I was when I was getting out of the car? Everyone was staring at me. If I were pregnant; I'm sure I would have suffered a miscarriage because of you''

''We can't let that happen, let's go'' he walked with her to the car and opened the door for her before going over to the driver's seat.

Hi everyone, I've received your mails so I will send you the redemption code on New year's day. Thanks for your hard work.
