The search for Mr. Louis Bailey 2
"Did you remember those days when I was courting you?"
"Oh! Yes I remember. What about it?"
"That is how father feels about Mom right now."
"Phil, Are you real?"
"Just watch out. Otherwise, why does he wish to have lunch at her place? Does he not have food at his house?"
"I'm not seeing it that way."
They got off the car, Phil picked Daniel from the backseat and they headed for the house.
At Mr. Louis Bailey's Suite. Cairo.
It was 8:35 pm, six and half hours after he boarded the flight from London to Cairo and about nine hours after he left the registry. He got to his suite after he let his team members know that he had returned with mixed feelings, guilt because he gave room for Olivia to leave his life and curiosity - how did she end up as Denise's wife and decided to give him his baby.
At that moment, his team members got in to welcome him back. He ushered them in with a plastic smile.
"Come in please."
He said as the opened the door for them.
"Welcome back, boss. How was your flight?"
"Thank you. My flight was fine. How was the Exhibition today?"
Eric gave him the breakdown of all that took place at the Exhibition that day, and he was pleased.
"Oh! That is good. I'm impressed. You're such a great team."
"Thank you boss."
"I'm just coming in and I need to have my late dinner, do you mind joining me?"
"Sure boss."
Eric accepted on behalf of the team.
"It is all right. Let us meet at the Gaming Centre in the next thirty minutes."
"Wow! That will be great."
The team members cheered before they stood up to leave but Eric stayed back. Mr. Louis Bailey looked at him after the team left and inquired.
"Do you have any message for me, Eric?"
"Yes, Boss. Dr. Quain called to ask after you. It's like he wanted to meet you at the registry but missed you."
"Oh! Thank you. I will get across to him. Anything more?"
"None for now. See you later."
"It is all right."
Eric took his leave, while Louis switched on his phone and gave Dr. Quain had been glued to his phone all day a call. He picked his phone the way a dog would pick rush at a bone.
"Hello, Mr. Bailey. Where are you? Are you all right?"
"Hello Dr. Quain. Good to hear from you. I am back to Cairo and I am all right. learnt you called my team members to check on me. Thank you for you concern."
The doctor, who was not interested in the gestures went straight to the point.
"I was at the registry for the marriage ceremony when you called. By the time I came out of the registry to call you, your phone was already switched off."
"Oh my God. I did not know you were there. I must have ruined your day."
"I'm happy you are calm."
"Yes. I should be. I just feel I should be alone for now."
"It is good. I can see you are on top of the situation."
"Yes doctor. I will switch off now. Bye."
"Hello."
Mr. Louis Bailey had switched off before the doctor could say anything more, but he was satisfied that he gave him the honor of confiding in him and putting his fears to rest. He looked at his phone, took a deep breath and muttered.
"At least, I can sleep well this night."
He sent a message of advice to his mail to encourage him again.
(Be strong. I love your remarkable resilience. You are role model to many people. Thank you. Dr. Quain.)
Mr. Louis Bailey breathe in and out before he walked into the room for a shower. After that, he joined the team at the Gaming Centre. He had his late dinner while they had their pop corn, termes, Dora mashwy, stick meat and ice cream. The team played some games with new friends they made while Mr. Louis Bailey watched but the team would not let him be.
"Boss, you had late dinner, you need to stroll around for proper digestion."
"It is all right. Let's go."
They took a tour of the hotel when the ladies were tired, they complained.
"Boss, we are going back to our room. You can continue."
Mr. Bailey laughed heartily and asked.
"I thought what a man can do,.."
The guys completed the sentence for him.
"A woman can do better."
They laughed ecstatically. Mr. Louis Bailey advised.
"It all right. We can return to our rooms."
"Thank you boss."
The ladies thanked.
They walked back to their room relieved of the stress of the day. Mr. Louis Bailey got to his room by 1 am and slept off without any hindrances till 7 am the next day.
At the Bailey Native Home.
After Mr. Arthur Bailey gave Mrs. Nichole Bailey a warm but quick hug, she was infuriated. She returned to her room and walked to the bathroom for a quick bath as though she was trying to wash off the touch of Mr. Arthur Bailey. After her bath, she returned to her room to apply her cream before she laid down on her bed to sleep. Her blood was boiling as she thought of the activities of the day especially how Mr. Arthur Bailey was stalking on her. She hissed but then, she remembered Louis.
"Oh! Louis. Where are you?"
She jumped up from the bed and set out to call his number again just to be clear her doubt. To her surprise, the line connected but he was on a call. She furrowed her brow and looked at her phone again. She waited for a while before she called again but it was switched off. She wondered.
"What could be Louis's problem?"
She muttered to herself.
At Mr. Arthur Bailey's Apartment.
He drove off with Julie at once and walked to the bathroom for a bath. He felt so fulfilled for the first time in thirteen years. He looked at himself in the mirror and smirked over his mischief against Mrs. Nichole Bailey today. Suddenly, he remembered his late wife, Rosy and became moody. Tears began to gather in his eyes and he allowed them to flow freely while he watched himself in the mirror. After he had allowed his anguish to flow away with the tears, he said.
"Rosy, I have given my heart to Nichole and I think she deserves it. She loved our children and took very good care of them in your absence. Giving her myself will not be too much to compensate her. Rest on Rosy and good bye."
He had his warm bath and felt relieved from the burden associated with the death of Rosy. He got off the bathroom and walked to his bedroom in his nude. He looked at the bed before he laid down and muttered.
"It was not a bad day after all. My son Denise got married and I found love."
