Remember, Emily’s instruction was that after he’d purchased the expensive things, he should show them to her.
Of course, Ryan wouldn’t show her both the things he purchased for Miss Amaya and the things he purchased for himself. He’d show her only the few things he purchased for himself.
Now, there was no way she’d believe these were only the things he purchased with the number of bags she saw him carrying.
This was the very reason why he didn’t want her to see the bags he was carrying…
In fact, it would be best if others in this household didn’t see the number of bags he was carrying apart from the guards…they’d already seen them.
Ryan made his way to his room without anyone setting eyes on the bags. And upon arriving in his room, he dropped the bags on his bed and sat on it immediately.
Then he muttered to himself, “Everything has been purchased, that part has been handled”.
What he needed to do next was bring out the ones he purchased for himself which he was going to show to his mum as the expensive things he bought he would use in proving those students in his academy wrong.
He began bringing them out of the bags one after the other until he was done bringing them out. They consisted of bracelets, rings, robes, and so on.
Many of the things he purchased for Miss Amaya were the things he purchased for himself as well…
They were on the bed right now, and he was glancing at them. He was still glancing at them when he heard the door to the house open and someone stepping foot into it.
And what he heard next was his mum’s voice, she was the one that stepped foot into the house. She hadn’t been around all this while, she was just arriving home now.
So Ryan was just wasting his time and energy trying to make sure his mum didn’t set eyes on the bags he had with him when he arrived home. Enjoy exclusive adventures from empire
“So she wasn’t at home all this while? She’s just arriving now”. Ryan muttered to himself after confirming it was his mum that stepped foot into the house.
He heard her voice ’cause she began calling out on one of the servants the moment she entered the house.
Who knows, she could enter his room at any given time to confirm if he’d purchased the things he was supposed to purchase with the gold coins.
And if that happens, he wouldn’t want her to see the bags because it would be to his disadvantage. And there’s no way she wouldn’t set eyes on the bags if she steps foot into his room right now ’cause they were right on the bed.
So he began taking the bags off the bed and keeping them at a place where even if she steps foot into his room right now, she wouldn’t be able to see them.
But as for the things he purchased for himself, he didn’t take them off the bed, they were still on it.
He sat back on his bed after he was done taking the bags off it. Then he thought to himself,
‘Since I’d purchased the things needed to be purchased, I’d begin working on the seduction tomorrow’.
Working on the seduction means he’d have to visit Miss Amaya’s house, and he’d have to do it more than once. Locating her home wouldn’t be a problem for him ’cause he knew where it was situated now.
And if any problem locating it was to occur, he knows the name of the community where her home was situated…that would help out a lot.
As if Ryan could tell what would happen in the future, Emily opened the door to his room and stepped foot into it. She didn’t bother to knock or anything, she just did what she did.
..Now, if Ryan hadn’t taken the bags off the bed, she would have seen them the moment she stepped foot into his room.
He made a right decision taking the bags off the bed and keeping them somewhere else, he was too cautious. He knew something like this would most likely happen, and it did.
Emily entered his room to confirm if he’d purchased the things he was supposed to purchase. So as she was entering, these words were flowing out of her mouth though she didn’t complete the statement,
“Ryan, have you purchased the things you were…”
She didn’t complete the utterance ’cause she set eyes on the things on Ryan’s bed. The robes, the bracelets, rings, and so on. Seeing them was enough confirmation he’d purchased them.
She was glancing at them right now, and Ryan didn’t waste time standing up from his bed. After glancing at them for a few more seconds, she uttered to Ryan,
“Are these them?”.
“Yes, mum, the things I’m going to make use of to prove those students in my academy wrong”. Ryan responded.
She walked closer to them and picked up one of the bracelets on the bed, and glancing at it, she could tell it was super expensive. Apart from it, she could tell the other things on the bed were super expensive as well.
She owned a lot of extremely expensive things…so she could tell when she sees one. After glancing at the bracelet in her hand to her satisfaction, she kept it back on the bed.
Then she picked up a ring next and began glancing at it just as she was glancing at the bracelet. Ryan just stood there watching her do all these.
All he was hoping for was that she wouldn’t see the bags filled with the things he bought for Miss Amaya, or discern that the number of things she was seeing on the bed were too small considering the number of gold coins she gave to him.
After she was done glancing at the ring, she kept it back on the bed. Then she glanced at Ryan before throwing a question at him,
“Are there any gold coins remaining from the gold coins I gave to you?”.
Shaking his head a little, Ryan responded, “No”.
And truly, there weren’t any gold coins remaining, he used up everything…
“So these are all the things you bought with the number of gold coins I gave to you?”. Emily threw another question at Ryan.
Ryan’s heart skipped a little the moment that question resounded into his ears. Seems like his mum was discerning the things she was seeing were too small compared to the number of gold coins she gave to him.
He has to be super cautious now, his brain has to start working fast.
“Yes, these are all the things I bought with the gold coins you gave to me”. Ryan answered.
“Why am I having a feeling they’re too small compared to the number of gold coins I gave to you?”.
“Guess I could have purchased more with the number of gold coins you gave to me, but I chose quality over quantity. Every single thing you’re seeing on this bed is super valuable and extremely expensive,
One of these bracelets you’re seeing here can cover the values of four expensive bracelets at once. That’s how valuable these things are”. Ryan explained.
He knew he was lying, no doubt, but he just had to tell the lie ’cause there were no other options. And according to what he was seeing, seems like his mum was believing the lie.
She was nodding her head right now, and after she was done nodding, she uttered to Ryan,
“Is that so?”.
“Yes, mum, that’s why the things you’re seeing seem to be small. They are small but super valuable”. Ryan’s voice resounded again.
Emily nodded her head a little once again, then she began glancing at other places in Ryan’s room. This act of hers made Ryan a little afraid but made sure it didn’t show in his face.
She could see the bags where Miss Amaya’s things were in the process of glancing around, and that wouldn’t be nice at all.
Was she glancing around because she knew he was lying and wanted to see if he was hiding anything? Ryan didn’t know this, he wasn’t sure. It was based on probability.
He could feel his heart beating a little as his mum was still glancing at other places in his room. Then she suddenly stopped and focused her gaze back on Ryan before saying to him,
“So, are you ready to prove those students in your academy wrong?”.
“Yes, fully ready, mum”. Ryan responded.
There was a very high chance she’d believed his lie for the fact that she asked him this question.
“Okay, make sure to prove them wrong. Don’t let all these things you purchased go to waste”. Emily stated again.
“I wouldn’t mum, I’d make sure to prove them wrong in the next coming days since I only got to purchase these things today”.
Emily only nodded her head a little before she patted Ryan’s right shoulder a little and began walking out of his room until she’d finished walking out of it.
..And the moment she wasn’t in sight anymore, Ryan breathed a sigh of relief before sitting back on his bed.
