The older man frowned. "No... what I'm doing will be worth it in a few days when I talk to Samantha,"

"Why not just talk to her in person instead of this crazy kidnapping idea?"

"Women like bad boys."

"Those are the tastes of some young women, but let me remind you that Mrs. Samantha is a grown woman and even a grandmother now."

"So what?"

"That means you're an old man too, so you should act your age."

"..." Gabriel's eye twitched. "You're crossing the line," he said, clenching his fists tightly.

"No, I'm just speaking the truth. Instead of doing all this crazy stuff, how about I set up a meeting with Samantha?"

"What...?"

"You know, have a meeting at a café or restaurant to talk about old times."

"That sounds like something an old man would do."

"You are an old man; you're 56 years old."

"..." Gabriel grimaced at his words.

"Yes, I think that's the best thing to do," the assistant said, pulling out his phone.

"Don't you dare."

"I will because I don't want to see you lose your entire fortune over something so stupid that won't bring you any gain," the young man declared, dialing a certain number. "Who are you calling?" Gabriel asked, scared.

The assistant just put the call on speaker so Gabriel could hear the ringing.

"Good afternoon, Cooper Enterprises," said a man on the other end of the line.

"Hello, good afternoon. May I speak with Mrs. Samantha Cooper?"

"One moment, please," the man said as the sound of typing could be heard. "Yes, she's available. Who's calling?"

"An old friend. Could you please connect me with her?

"Sure, hold on for a moment while I connect you," the man said, and some hold music began playing.

"Hang up!" Gabriel ordered in a panic, trying to snatch the phone away, but his assistant was taller and kept the phone out of his reach.

"No, and stop acting like a child."

"Hello?" Gabriel was about to complain but froze when he heard her voice.

"Hello, good afternoon. Am I speaking with Mrs. Samantha Cooper?"

"Yes. Who am I speaking to?"

"My name is Jamie, and I'm calling on behalf of my boss, Gabriel Gates."

"Ah, nice to meet you, Jamie. What can I do for you?"

"Well, I'm calling to ask if you're free tonight because my boss would like to invite you to dinner to talk about the past."

"Well... I don't think I can make it tonight, but I'm free for lunch."

"In that case, would it be alright to meet him at the restaurant Oldgrounds on 50th Street in two hours?" "Yes, that "Yes, that sounds fine."

"Thank you, Mrs. Samantha. When you arrive, you can look for the reservation under your name."

"Haha, alright. Thank you, and tell Gabriel I'll see him soon."

"Of course. Goodbye, Mrs. Cooper, and have a nice day," Jamie said, smiling as he ended the call and looked at his boss. "See? This is what you should've done from the start. And... Boss?" He stopped talking when he saw the older man looking shocked. "Are you okay?" he asked, concerned, as he hadn't expected that reaction.

"...." Gabriel felt butterflies in his stomach because he had a date with her.

"Hey boss, don't get lost in your head. Go get ready."

"What...?"

"Hello? Focus. Samantha will be waiting for you at the Oldgrounds in two hours."

"Oh, right..." he said as a big smile spread across his lips. "I have a date with my Sam, and... wow... wait, what should I wear?"

Jamie just rolled his eyes, seeing that his boss was a real case, acting like a teenager at that moment. But he hoped that after this conversation, Gabriel would snap out of it and stop building castles in the air for his own good.
