Presidential Son-in-law

CHAPTER SEVEN

Robert followed the men outside, the driver was walking by his right hand side while two heavily built men in uniforms were walking behind them. There were another bodyguards standing on each sides of the door putting on the same uniform as the one walking behind them.

One of the bodyguards standing by the door, pushed it open and ushered the both of them in with a slight bow, Robert and the driver both went in while the two bodyguards stayed behind.

A smile played at Robert's lips at the executive treatment he had been getting since yesterday evening till this morning. Every beat of his heart was with joy, Robert was marveled, being treated as a VIP sure has its perks and he was loving the treatment.

He heard a slight cough that jolted him out of his thoughts, he had been engulfed deeply in his thoughts that he had walked into the room subconsciously and forgotten why he came.

The old man who was on the bed, sat up slightly, a drip was connected to his right hand, his face had few wrinkles.

"Good morning sir" Robert greeted with a slight bow.

"Good morning, Mr?" The man returned his greetings with a calm voice.

One thing Robert knows for sure is that this man is of a very high status, he must have a great influence and very rich that his wife's family are nowhere close to him at all, it was just like comparing an ant and a giant. Not only was the difference obvious, it was far too great also.

"Umm... Robert, sir" Robert stammered, he was wondering why the man returned his greetings in what seemed like a polite way, unlike his in-laws who always replied him rudely or just ignore him completely like the trash he is.

"It might be because he is sick, that is why he is being polite like this" that was the decision that Robert was able to conclude in his mind, if his in-laws were at that level of rudeness then this man before him will just be far worse than them.

"The rich always trample on the poor" that was the idealogy that was built into him by his in-laws.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Robert. I, Lucian is very grateful to you, how may I reward you" the man whose name he just knew is Lucian bowed his head slightly.

Robert stared at him wide eyed, did this man just bent his head and thanked him?. It was all a new thing to him, for a man of this calibre to be this humble then maybe all rich people are not the same then. His view about rich people changed right there and then.

"Don't worry about that sir, I only did it willingly not because I want a reward or something" Robert finally replied after a long while of silence.

Mr. Lucian stared at Robert with a surprised look on his face, he was sure other people would have asked for a huge amount because the signs that he was really rich was clearly obvious that even a blind person would notice.

Seeing the bodyguards that flooded the place, the VVIP treatment he was given, the jet that carried them here. All these were clear signs and someone in his right sense would have asked for a huge amount of money but this man here is not asking for a dime in compensation.

"Are you sure about that?" Mr. Lucian asked Robert again thinking the latter might have given it a thought and changed his mind eventually.

"Yes sir, all I only want is just to go back to my family" Robert said, forcing his lips to stretch to a smile and trying to make it look genuine as hard as he can.

Well, he was not really going back to his family, because he never really considered them as family, they always treated him like trash and the beating and abuse that awaited him would be really grave, he had been away from home for a long time.

Not like they really cared if he went missing, he was sure they might be happy that he is not around.

"I am sorry Robert but I can't let you leave empty handed like this especially after saving my life" Mr. Lucian said and motioned him to come closer with his other hand and Robert obliged.

"Have your seat, I want to tell you something" the man said pointing to the seat that was placed in the room.

Mr. Lucian sighed and stretched his hand to his driver.

"Are you sure about that?" The driver asked with uncertainty in his voice.

A faint smile appeared on Mr. Lucian face and he nodded slightly.

The driver brought out a black notebook and a debit card colored in black and gold.

"The both of them or only the debit card?" The driver asked, stretching the both of them to Mr. Lucian.

"The both" Mr. Lucian said and collected the both of them from his hand.

He stretched the both of them to Robert."Please accept this little token of mine, there is hundreds of millions in the debit card and this notebook contains medicinal and flavor filled food that would be of help to you"

This is the little I can offer you, the man said with a slight smile on his face. Robert reluctantly collected it, looking at the card intensely.

Upon all the years he have lived on this Earth, this was his first time seeing a debit card with this color.

"The pin is 2468, it's an easy pin to remember. The notebook had been in my family for generations, it was always being passed on to the next generation but I have no son to pass it to and you deserve it for saving me, despite not knowing me"

"Thank you sir" was all Robert could say as he glance through the book and it really contains food and the step by step procedure to prepare it.

Robert smiled and thanked the man once again.
