The Unexpected Discovery Of Love Chapter 144

Chamberlain had just received the list of invited guests . His eyes scanned the list and he easily caught on to the fact that amongst the privileged guests, he wasn't particularly close to anyone . They were mostly political  party members and business partners of his father and their children .

"Another political party," he sighed . The fact that his wedding wasn't spared of politics did not really bother him . After all, that was his father, he utilized any and every thing . No one could escape .

Raising his head, he gazed at Carl through the gla.s.s door . "May be, he could be my best man . . . "

Carl who was focusing on the three monitors on his desk did not realize when his boss appeared before him . The knocking sound on his desk alerted him .

"Good, you're here . I was thinking maybe you could get me a team, that way I could work faster and a more secure and private office wouldn't be a bad idea . " Carl straightforwardly raised his suggestion .

Chamberlain's lips curled up, "You just want to run away from me . " He gently placed his hands in his pockets, a.s.suming a confident pose . However, he was far from confident .

Now that he was before Carl, he was unsure . He did not know why he felt he needed someone there just for him .   Maybe it was a bad idea after all, they weren't really friends or even close . Besides, wasn't he already used to it?

Maintaining his confident aura, moving from one business or political meeting to another . Giving acceptable compliments, paying false attention, giving half-hearted smiles and congratulations .

For some reason, after getting to know Carl, seeing him express himself freely, he couldn't help but be drawn to him . Carl was like a breath of fresh air in his polluted world .

Of course, he would never let his guard down around others . It was dangerous to let others in . A small mistake could cost him everything .

And the more he looked at Carl, he realized how similar he looked and acted like that person . His eyes lowered for a moment to hide his emotions .

"I think you should be my best man . " Chamberlain said .

Carl's eyebrows furrowed, "When did I become your friend?" Not waiting for his answer, he continued, "You should also know that most people think I'm abroad and finally, in case you've forgotten, I can't leave this State . "

"Are you sure you can't leave this State?" He paused before adding, "Or you don't want to . Why don't you take this as an opportunity to show your father that you're no longer under him and thus you don't have to obey his every command?"

Carl laughed scornfully .

Did Chamberlain think he wasn't aware of the fact that the Stans and the Blackwoods were now working together . Simply put, the Stans had found a new prey in his family . Or should he say former family? Not like he cared . It wasn't surprising that the only aristocratic family that would let the Stans use them would be the Blackwoods .

His father shouldn't have been the family head simply because he was the first son . His grandfather should have chosen his capable uncle .   But all that was a thing of the past and as such, did not matter .

Were the Stans not just trying to pit the father against the son? Given that they were already at loggerheads, it meant that they were impatient and wanted him to take over the mantle of leaders.h.i.+p .

He was certain that he no longer wanted to be a.s.sociated with the Blackwoods but that did not mean he was not going to take everything belonging to his mother or that he would join hands with the Stans .

"Boss, I'm not powerful enough to go against my father . Neither am I willing to join hands with you . " He voiced the first part of his statement, as for the second part, he kept it to himself .

Chamberlain watched him and was able to perceive the second part of his statement even if Carl did not say it .

He had previously told Carl that he was an open book . His every emotion was expressed on his face, something that puts him at a disadvantage . However, Carl continued to act willful .

Chamberlain did not bother to reprimand him or expose him so he said nothing .

"About the team and privacy?" Carl asked once more .

"I'll think about it," Chamberlain answered before walking away .

For some reason, he appeared quite lonely from the back . Carl pushed his thoughts to the back of his mind . Anyway, it wasn't his business whatever happened to Chamberlain, or so he thought .

. . .

 Both Chamberlain and Lena headed to the capital for their wedding ceremony/party meeting . Whatever the case, the purpose was fulfilled .

Not surprising, everything was ready when they arrived including his best man . Lena's friends were also present . Although both the bride and groom were still far apart, they tried their best to be courteous to each other .

Using his wedding as a front, a meeting was held between his father and some highly regarded elites of the country .   As far as the media was concerned, Chamberlain had a beautiful wedding with his childhood sweetheart in the presence of his family, friends and well-wishers . And Lena, was the envy of women across the country .
