Chapter 7 - “The Call from Mr. Michael”

At night,

Gabriel and Meridia were waiting for Rafaella and William in the living room on the ground floor.

Gabriel: I'm sorry, Meridia.

Meridia: For what?

Gabriel: For what happened during breakfast this morning.

Meridia: No problem.

Just then, William and Rafaella arrived.

Rafaella: Oh, you two were waiting for us—great.

Meridia: Yes. How was your day?

Gabriel: Where's Dad?

Rafaella: The day was good. Your dad is coming… look, here he is.

William: Hey, kids!

Go upstairs quickly and freshen up, then we'll give you your gifts.

Gabriel looks at Meridia and laughs.

Meridia: Kids?

Rafaella: Yes, kids. I've never seen you two being romantic.

Gabriel: We can't do that in front of everyone!

William: I'll go freshen up.

Meridia: Whatever, Gabriel—come upstairs with me. You had to go out to buy something anyway.

Both of them start walking upstairs. As they pass, Rafaella whispers into Gabriel's ear:

Rafaella: You can even do it on an open beach.

Good luck.

Upstairs in the room, Gabriel and Meridia are sitting together.

Gabriel hands her a phone.

Gabriel: This is called a phone.

Meridia looks at him angrily.

Meridia: I can see that.

Gabriel: I was joking. I bought this for you.

Meridia: Thank you.

Suddenly they hear William shouting:

William: Gabriel! Meridia! Both of you come downstairs right now!

Gabriel and Meridia run downstairs.

Gabriel: What happened, Dad?

Meridia: Is everything okay?

William: Mr. Michael called. He said he feels bad that the last party failed, so this time he has organized a Noche Magnífica event. International businessmen will also attend, so it's important that we go.

Meridia: Wow! When is it?

William: Two days later.
