My Programming Mind | THS Book 2

Chapter Four

"You know nothing about me. Just shut the fuck up." Julian was starting to get angry again.

"I have been known to be nosy."

"I've said what I came here for. See you in corridors and hallways." With that Julian left Justin's room and stormed down the hallway to the stairs at the end.

Justin then went downstairs where he saw Kenneth pacing in the kitchen with Matron on his side.

"How did it go?!" Kenneth asked as soon as Justin entered the kitchen.

"Surprisingly well and surprisingly weird."

"That was expected but I would vote for more drama." Matron said from where she was standing.

"I kind of got it. The truth about the letter thing. Why didn't you tell me that it was you?" Justin asked Kenneth who then started to look down with shame.

"I could have but uncle Blake said he would tell you everything, that's why. I swear I would have said everything if not for that." Kenneth answered.

"That's fine but I would have appreciated it if I heard it from you first."

"Sorry!" Kenneth said before he took Justin for the house tour that they had agreed upon during breakfast.

While they were on the second floor, they heard cries from a certain room. The voice stood out pretty clear as Justin had had several encounters with the person who had that voice. It was Alysa's.

Kenneth told him it was Julian's room and that he shouldn't bother but Justin was Justin and nobody would ever have made him Kenneth.

"I've never heard from anywhere that a woman can cry let alone being made to cry," Justin said standing at the door.

"What the hell Justin?!" Julian deadpanned after seeing Justin who was at the door, had seen him and Alysa who was on her knees in front of him.

"A piece of advice. Making a girl cry is never wise and no masculinity, it's just dumb and inconsiderate."

With that Justin left Julian's room and went with Kenneth for the rest of their tour.

Later that day when Justin was minding his business in his room, Celine went over to him and told him that their father was calling him.

"Where is he?" Justin asked Celine who was already leaving to go about her business as well.

"His office. And don't ask me where is it cause I'm not in the mood of tour guiding."

He chuckled at what Celine had said and got up to go where he remembered been told where the office was that morning when he was walking the house with Kenneth.

"Come on in." Justin heard when he knocked at Blake's office.

"Thank you, sir. How are you doing today?"

"Pretty fine. Just busy."

"I can see that. I hope you get some time to rest and hang out with your family." Justin said with a smile.

"I hope so. So, how have you been settling?"

"Fine, I guess. Just a lot of misunderstanding."

"How is that?" Justin had managed to get his full attention then.

"Well for starting, Kenneth seems more welcoming than Julian who had been writing me the letters. And then when I sat down with Julian, he said he wrote me no letter. It's all confusing and not likely for me to understand." Justin didn't want to beat around the bush with Blake since he was the only person who would give him answers to every question he had.
