" Are you working for Sami? Have you seen the castle?" Meanwhile Elise asked Lucie seeing that she was the person Samuel was looking for. He said that she would take her to see the castle that meant that she must be someone with knowledge about it.

" The viscount's castle?" Lucie was aware of Elise's existence. She had heard Samuel mention her a few times but she didn't exactly knew who she was. Seeing her, there was little chance of her being his daughter but she called him 'Sami' which was a bit unusual.

" Yes, is it big? Does it have horses?" Seeing Elise's gleaming eyes, Lucie didn't know what to say. She looked toward Samuel but he was busy talking with Alain so she didn't disturb him. Wasn't it fine to tell the little girl about it?

She began giving her a overall situation of the castle, from the landmass it covered to various facilities it held. Being a noble family's home for generation, it had rich history.

The viscount that sold Samuel the castle was famous in the past, he only auctioned the property because of the recent financial crisis hit his business too hard which meant he urgently needed liquid funds so that funds chain wouldn't break under pressure.

Lucie even believed that the hundred million pounds was too low of an evaluation for the castle of that size. She felt that two hundred would be the evaluation price but for some reason when she bid no one tried to compete with her. She later discovered that Samuel being interested in it, no one tried to maliciously raise the price even like the original owner wanted them to.

" Is there really a castle?" After hearing Lucie's grandiose description, even the other girls began to get interested.

" Yes, it's still under renovation but the main wing has already finished construction. There are two more wings and some overhaul work in garden that still need attention but with how big the place is there is no need to worry about any people disturbing your stay."

" Can we see it too?"

" Of course, aren't you here because you were invited to visit the place?" Lucie tilted her head not knowing what was going on.

She thought they all knew each other which was why Samuel protected them. She didn't know much about Samuel's private life but Samuel's image as a playboy was well cemented in the industry. If one took closer look at his past appearances, he was seen with different beautiful girls each time.

From her discerning eye, she could tell these five girls had exceptional appearance. Some of them needed some work but after a quick makeup they were no less than supermodels invited for this event.

Seeing such a collection, there was only one possibility that Samuel had gathered them for his own pleasure.

" No..we.." They looked at Elise with strange eyes. They thought that the little girl was playing a prank on them but who knew that she was telling the truth.

They quickly gather to discuss what they were going to do. Meanwhile Lucie discreetly asked Elise what was going on.

" What should we do?"

" I don't know. Should we go with them? I mean it's the little girl that invited us right?"

" Are you insane? What if something happens? You know no one come to save us. We should just head back and think about another solution."

" You mean Pierre? Don't we already know what he wants? First he will ask for us to pose for some nudes than it will escalate to something else. I have seen too many of these things happening in the fashion circles."

" What about you guys?" The french girl and the americans were discussing when they suddenly turned toward the russian factions to ask for their answers.

" I-i am willing to follow him..he s-saved us. I don't think he will do anything to us. We will also not get such a chance to explore an ancient castle." The younger girl expressed that she was ready to follow them. She never talked much but for some reason she showed unwavering resolve to follow the strange young man.

" Helga you-"

" We can just flee if something happens right? It could be a good opportunity to make some connections. I mean even in passing if he helped us it will be beneficial to us."

" Don't worry, if he dared to do anything. I will put him in place. Don't forget that I am a former police officer." One of the american girl said with confidence. Samuel didn't really showed his prowess only used his men to subdue the other party.

She was sure that she could handle him one on one or even made him submit to her giving them a chance to escape. Others were aware of her strength, there was one instance when she saved them when a hooligan tried to make his move on them. She was able to put him in a chokehold effortlessly.

" So, everyone agree to see the castle?" The french girl asked to which everyone nodded. Continue reading on empire

They knew that if they didn't take chances they had to go through some shady company. Since the young man seemed powerful they could take advantage of the situation.

Lucie on the other hand was surprised when she heard Elise's childish descriptions. She was lost then she met up with them waiting for Samuel to arrive that's when some bad guys arrived trying to bully her and her 'new' friends?

It was not Samuel that invited them but Elise. Lucie didn't know if Samuel would allow her to do as she pleased so she didn't know what to say to the eager eyes of the girls who had made their choice to follow them.

Fortunately, on the other side the dispute was resolved smoothly. Samuel didn't ask for anything, just Raphael and his team to be transferred under his management. Alain agreed to it in a heartbeat, he also made his son apologize once more but Samuel wasn't interested in it.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Raphael who heard their discussion didn't know why Alain was so keen on accepting the young man's demands. He could only follow his clients wishes, as long as he wasn't transferred out of the country and got the same treatment, he was willing to work for Samuel.

Samuel asked him to report to the castle before a week with is men. He stood up trying to leave. Alain promptly invited him for the big event but Samuel politely refused him. He needed to attend the LVHM Group's party that day so there was no chance for him to see the models flaunting their beautiful appearance on stage.
