The moment they arrived, Georgia broached the question at Ivan curiously.
If it hadn’t been because there was too much to deal with and that the security in place had to be perfect, Georgia wanted to do it yesterday.
But that wasn’t realistic, after all. They had to exclude the people who had kept their eyes on them, and do safety checks of the facility.
All that took time.
“It’s arranged. You can go over tomorrow.”
Georgia heaved a sigh of relief.
Because she’d been too hasty, Georgia didn’t think to hide it from Emilia and Casey.
“What are you doing over here anyway? So much secrecy.”
Casey couldn’t help but ask.
Georgia wasn’t planning on speaking out about it and gave her mother a prepared excuse.
“There’s a research project in a biotech firm that Robert and I have invested in that needs a key bit of technology that Ivan’s friend just so happens to have. We’re going to discuss it with him. That person is a genius, and it might take a lot to persuade him.”
Casey nodded and didn’t press the matter.
Emilia, though, found it strange. She knew what status Robert and Georgia had.
At their level, they didn’t need to show up in person for business negotiations.
That was strange. How much of a genius was this guy? Needing the bosses to come in person. Emilia didn’t suspect too much, though.
Ivan’s coming brought some energy to the house, and like a big boy, he played around with Annie and Wesley.
Georgia observed the process and found that all throughout, Ivan and Emilia had never exchanged a single word. The two really were setting their boundaries.
Georgia understood what was between them.
Robert, though, having forgotten his past, didn’t understand, and he’d noticed something was off.
At night, when the two bedded down and spoke, he asked Georgia curiously about what had happened between his brother Ivan and Emilia.
Georgia could only act as a memory bank again and repeat the affairs in brief.
She didn’t know all of it, but she knew generally how it’d gone.
“Ivan’s a lot like his father especially in love. Sometimes, he gets stubborn and he’s prideful. He might not walk out from this relationship in the next decade. Actually he might end it here.”
“Do you think it’s possible for the two of them to get back together?”
Georgia gossiped. Robert shook his head.
“I’ve seen that cousin of yours a few times now. She’s got a relaxed personality and never devotes too much into love. If Ivan had dumped her back then, she’d have walked out from under it by now. Might even have gotten in a few more relationships. The two probably won’t have a future together. I don’t think anyone can fully walk into her heart. Even if they do, once they hurt her, with her personality, I feel like she can chase them away just as easily. These two weren’t meant to be together. One takes it too seriously, the other not seriously enough.”
