Hollywood Zenith

On the day of Samuel's arrival inside the Rothschild mansion.

The family was having breakfast and would often talk about their everyday life, but business talks were not allowed. It was then that an interesting topic came up.

" So he is finally coming home?" Kenneth asked.

" What's with that tone? It's only been a few weeks." Margaret reprimanded him. It was not good to always have him moping around at home.

" Keke, Are you sure? He could change course and go for a vacation or something. After all, little brother finally has someone other than his work!" Mary chuckled.

" And when are you going to get someone? Even your nephew surpassed you!" Peter hit the nail on the head. It was not wrong to say that Mary, already in her early thirties, needed to get a grip on life.

Nobody was forcing her to marry but doing something meaningful with her life was not a tricky thing to ask. Although she didn't lack anything in life, it always had been about thinking ahead.

" Nephew? You are going there again!"

" Few more years and you will be his mother! You should take better care of yourself, isn't it time you stop partying every other night?"

" Heh, do you think London nightlife will be same if I stop going? Big brother you should get out more often or else that muscle brain of your will rot!"

" Stop it! I can't believe you are still fighting like children. Mary you better start thinking about it or I will arrange blind dates for you." Robert said with a stern voice.

" Hehe"

" Why are you laughing? She is right about you. You are not getting any younger, I will do the same if you don't get out of the training ground."

" What?"

" Hehe."

" Leaving these brats, what about Sami? I am sorry I was busy but everyone seem to know about it except for me." Donald asked. He was not very interested in their business talks, but when it came to Samuel, he always gave it his full attention.

" Ah, I wanted to tell you about it yesterday but as usual you slept in your office." Patricia sighed. Her husband hadn't changed a bit, always putting his work above everything else.

" Well, there is nothing special about it. The son which I thought was only interesting in his acting career and business recently got involved with couple of girls?" Laura informed. She hadn't told them everything because she didn't know much either.

" Sami? But I think I heard it wrong, you said girls?"

" I was surprised too when I first heard about it. That is why I asked him to bring them over, just to get acquainted. I would have gone there myself but you know how busy I am with work everyday."

" Isn't that just an excuse? But you are right. I too wanted to meet them. But he is definitely treading in deep waters." Robert's remark got everyone's attention.

" He is talking about the girls. They are also coming with them." Laura clarified. The mention of girls was enough to let them know what she was talking about.

" Can we expect a fight? I know it sounds dreadful but you know what kind of people are coming for the party right?" Mary asked.

" You sound excited. I don't know what that kid is thinking." Kenneth was also worried.

" I don't see anything wrong with it. With my grandson's prestige, it was bound to happen someday. We should have more faith in him." Margaret was casual, but it was a big deal in the eyes of others.

" You are right. He is a very special individual, if any problem arise in the future we can lend him a hand." Kenneth agreed with his wife's assessment.

" They will be here in few hours. It will get lively again."

...

...

...

" Hey, did you catch that?"

" By that you mean the middle one giving us the nasty look? I did."

" What should we do? I didn't know it will be like this."

" Follow my lead. We are only going to attend the party, there is nothing wrong with that."

" I know that but I feel out of place already. I mean, should I be here-"

" Rosa, you shouldn't be discouraged by these things. We still have the whole week ahead of us. There will be much more of this in that time."

" I know but-"

" I trust him. What about you?"

" Ofcourse, I trust him too."

" That's all that matters."

Liliana and Rosaline whispered along their walk as they entered the plane. Even during their serious conversation, they noticed how massive the aircraft was. It was their first time seeing a private plane, they had heard of the private jet, but those were ants compared to this mammoth.

The Airbus A380 was the largest plane on the planet, with less than two hundred units around the globe. This one was specially modified to bring as much luxury as the top hotels in the air. They were amazed by the tip-top facilities on board.

" Arthur, please show then around. I will talk with the crew in the meantime." Samuel asked.

" Will that be fine? I think you should be here too." Arthur said.

" It will be fine. I also have to talk with my team, they will definitely be bored."

" Very well. I will do as you ask."

" Good." Samuel left after telling the girls the arrangement. In his mind, the difficult time had already passed; Maia and the others were not bad people. They would at least not start a fight with his guest.

...

...

...

" Over there is your designated rooms. I arranged them closer to young master's room, that whole section is off limits of member other than you six."

" You don't have to do that."

" It's alright, there are plenty of space. We are travelling light anyways." Arthur commented.

" This is the main space, you can call me or other staff with this. We will have someone to serve you immediately." He was mainly showing Liliana and Rosaline.

" This the bar area. Most of the time it is empty but sometimes young master's team come up to enjoy some late-night drinks." Arthur was showing them all the areas. Maia, Iblis, and Paige were also following him, it was not their first time on board, but there was nothing better to do before the take-off.

" It seem a little bit excessive." Liliana commented.

" What do you mean?" Arthur asked.

" This whole thing, It's not like I don't like it but doesn't a smaller plane would be fine?" Liliana had little meaning behind what she said. She said what she felt at the moment.

" Small one will fly faster right?" Rosaline said in between. Everyone looked toward her at once.

" I am sorry. I don't know much about these things." She held her head down. The attention was too much for her heart.

" Well, technically you need sufficient firepower to achieve high speed. I think-" Arthur wanted to explain when Paige interrupted them.

" That's not surprising. I mean this must be your first flight right?" She appeared to ask nicely, but her smile seemed forced. Rosaline didn't notice it, though, and went along with it.

" Yes, my family owns a car so we always travel by the road. It is also my first time seeing a plane this close!"

" That's good. What about this? Have you seen this type of wine before?" Paige picked up a bottle lying on the counter.

" Eh? N-no."

" Romanée-Conti produced by Domaine Romanée-Conti commonly known as DRC, is one of the most expensive wine in the world. I mean these bottles are made from top vineyard that encompasses just couple of acres of land." Paige didn't let her finish and began lecturing her about it.

"Paige.." Iblis tried to stop her.

" That's interesting." Rosaline said innocently.

" I know. There is so little supply that they had to auction several bottles every year. Do you know how much they go for?" Paige asked.

" I don't know."

" Half a million dollars. What do you think about that?" What she was doing was to make her aware of how far apart their worlds were. It was a shaming tactic that was very effective.

" Wow, rich people really waste a lot of money! Isn't it better to grow and brew your own stuff if it cost this much?" Rosaline asked.

" What? How can we do that?" Paige was dumbfounded. Was this girl acting dumb, or was she this much of an airhead? She was lost for words.

" I mean, Isn't that much money enough to do it? You must buy several of these bottles everyday, if we round up the numbers, it is better to do it yourself no?"

" You are not wrong." She didn't know what to do next. She hoped for a reaction to capitalize on, but they gave her no openings.

" Pffft, hahaha. This is too much. hahaha." Liliana, who had been watching the whole show, laughed out loud. She was ready to jump in, but Rosaline expectedly took care of it.
