Chapter 218: To Keep You
Rizie was unconsciously biting her fingernails while waiting in the dining area for the cook to prepare their lunch. She had been practicing the whole night before on how to approach Dion and open the topic about her problem of breaking up within one month in all her previous relationships, she was finding it all weird and hard to put it in words.
Her thoughts ran wild, would it be better to just say it straightforwardly, to the point, or maybe she should strike a conversation first and would lead to the topic. She did not know why but she suddenly felt scared. Till now she was not able to decide about how she should start the topic and open up to Dion.
"Miss Rizie, the lunch is ready. Shall I have it served already?" the cook who came out from the kitchen asked her.
"Yes please, I’ll go fetch Dion," Rizie answered with a smile before hurrying upstairs. She went inside Dion’s room and did not find him there. ’Where is he?’ Rizie thought and grabbed her mobile phone to call Dion. The mansion was too big and she did not have the energy right now to go around and look for him.
"Where are you? Lunch is ready." Rizie asked while biting her fingernails. She would often bite her nails whenever she was nervous or in conflicted emotions.
""I’m at my father’s library. Come here... Let me show you something..." Rizie heard Dion from the other line who then gave her the instruction on how to find his father’s library.
Rizie entered inside the door not far from Dion’s room. The library was pretty big,like the ones they had in school. She bet a lot of rich people had it like this. It was very organized and labeled properly for different types and subjects of books.
’Dion’s father and grandfather must be very fond of reading all kinds of books.’ Rizie thought. She saw Dion, sitting comfortably on one couch, reading something intently, so she walked towards him and sat down beside him.
"What is that?" she asked while she looked at the book he was reading. "It’s my father’s journal." Dion commented and Rizie noticed that the notes were all handwritten.
"I found this inside his drawer. Good thing those Go’s did not bother to check it. They didn’t have the kind of passion for reading as did my father and grandfather it seems. They must not have even thought about how important things are kept here in the library. Riz, my father seems to be a serious and deep type of person..." Dion commented after reading several pages already where he was able to know his father more, like his perspective and how he thinks about life.
Rizie noticed Dion grin so she asked, "Why? What is it that you read that made you smile?"
