"Are you coming out, or should I go in?"
Stefan frowned, "Can't we discuss this over the phone?"
"I'd like to talk face to face."
Owen said irritably, "Stefan, I'm begging you, can we meet in person?"
Stefan laughed, "Owen, you're actually begging me."
"That's right, I'm begging you. So, are you coming out, or should I go in?"
Owen felt like he'd lost all dignity in front of Stefan because of love.
He used to do this for Ruby, and now it's for Cecilia.
"Alright, considering you've helped me out before, you can come in. I'll have Emma open the door for you."
Stefan stopped laughing and agreed to let Owen in.
Owen expressed his thanks and then hung up the phone.
"What's going on?"
Lucinda asked concernedly, "What was Owen begging you for?"
"He didn't say, just mentioned that he had something important to discuss with me. I'm not sure what he and I can possibly talk about. From his voice on the phone, I could tell he was really stressed out."
Stefan took the hairdryer from Lucinda again, "Let me dry your hair first before I go see him."
"I can do it myself, and you go see him, see what urgent matter he needed your help with. When I had problems before, although it was Cecilia who asked for his help, he still helped out. We owe him a favor."
Stefan said, "I've already thanked him personally and even paid him a sum of money as a reward. Your good friend paid with her marriage for this. If anything, you only owe your friend, not Owen."
After drying Lucinda's hair, he handed the hairdryer to Lucinda for her to finish up.
"Lucy, do you want something to eat?" Stefan asked before leaving the room.
"I won't eat. Eating at this time will make people gain weight. I'm already fatter than before. If I eat more, I'll turn into a ball."
Stefan laughed, "You're not fat at all. You're skinny, just like a model. Even if you get fat, I'll still love you, and I won't mind because I'll probably be fatter than you, so we won't judge each other."
Lucinda laughed, "Okay, you better go now, don't keep Owen waiting. He might just barge upstairs to find you."
Stefan muttered and left the room.
As soon as he reached the ground floor, Emma led Owen in. Owen's bodyguards didn't come in.
"Mr. Coleman, Mr. Martinez is here." Emma led Owen to the sofa and turned to Stefan.
"Emma, get Mr. Martinez a glass of water," Stefan instructed Emma as he walked over.
Emma responded and went to get the water.
"Please, have a seat."
Stefan gestured for Owen to sit. Only after Owen sat down did he take a seat across from him.
"I prefer coffee."
When Owen sat down, he started complaining about Stefan, "Don't you have any decent coffee left? I come to your place, and you only offer me a glass of water."
