After school, the driver picked her and Zack up and drove them to the company. When they got there she got off the car. “Good luck on your first day.” He told her from the car. She looked at him nervously, standing outside the car, and smiled a little. “Thanks. I’m going to need it.” She told him. “Don’t worry about it. Even if you make mistakes, remember, it’s okay if you can’t do something or don’t know how to do it. You’re learning new things.” He told her. She nodded. “I’ll be waiting for you at home,’’ he told her and waved her bye. “Take care and don’t stress yourself too much.” She waved him back. “Bye.” She told him. “See you later.” He told her and then gestured to the driver to set off. When he got home, he went to his room and changed out of his uniform. Someone knocked at his door. “Come in.” He said. Max came over and looked at Zack. “Is there anything I can help you with, young master?” He asked him, his eyes were glistening with hope. “N…o.” He told him an
Zack was at home doing his usual stuff, but he was feeling more bored than ever. He turned on the TV, but it bored him as well. He wondered how she was doing. After a few minutes, he started getting irritated because he was feeling so bored. So he went downstairs to find Max, but when he walked down the stairs, he saw Lillian limping as she entered the house. He went down quickly and frowned at her as he inspected her. “What happened? Why are you back so soon? And why are you limping?” He asked her. She didn’t say anything and just hugged him. He looked at her, surprised. “What happened?” He asked her. “Just stay like this for a while.” She told him in a distressed tone and hugged him tighter. Silent tears escaped her eyes. He realised she screwed up at work and that's why she was like this. He hugged her back and rubbed her back to comfort her. “It’s okay. You did good.” He told her. “No, I didn’t. I messed up everything.” She told him through a tight throat. “Did dad sc
Zack looked at the maid in anger. “Why are they here?” He asked the maid. “They said they are here for their daughter.” She replied. “Tell them to go back. She doesn’t want to see them.” He told her. “Zack, wait.” Alan told him and looked at Lillian. “Do you want to see them?” He asked her. She looked at him, feeling conflicted. She was still attached to them, even though they treated her horribly. They fed her and gave her a home and they did treat her good before Aurora came. But she also knew that weren’t up to anything good and she wanted to see why they were here. She looked at Alan and nodded. Alan looked at the maid. “Let them in.” He told her. The maid bowed in respect and went away. Zack was not pleased with her decision, but he didn’t say anything about it. He crossed his arms and looked away. Lisa and Victor came in, looking all worriedly at her. “Oh Lillian, we were so worried about you.” Lisa said, looking at her with relief and ran to her, but Zack got up and
Victor and Lisa looked at their shocked expression and hoped desperately that she screwed up terribly. “When did you…” Zack asked, speechless. “I saw it on your side desk and, well, it inspired me to make the flower goddess.” She told him. Alan was just quiet. She felt a bit scared that she might’ve done something she shouldn’t have. “It doesn’t have to be in the game. I just drew her because she looked really beautiful and from what Zack told me, she sounded like a wonderful person, like a goddess as beautiful and colorful as the flowers in full spring.” Lillian told them how she really felt. It brought tears into Alan’s eyes, which made Lillian panic a little.
Zack came home and told his dad what he saw. “I told you we shouldn’t let her go. They didn’t come here for her out of guilt. They came here because they were scared of you.” Zack told him. “Look son, I knew.” Alan told him. “You knew, and you still sent her away?” Zack looked at him, pissed. “It was her choice.” Alan told him. “Well, she sure is regretting it now.” Zack said, looking away with his hands on his hips. “She made her choice, Zack. And I’m sure she has a plan of her own.” Alan told him. “And that is to get bullied by her parents?” he asked sarcastically.
He was just a few centimeters away from her lips when she brought her finger in between and pushed him away. “We’re not a real couple and nice try, Zack.” she told him, moving away. “Oh, shoot.” He said, pretending like he was just joking around when he felt a bit hurt on the inside. “You should leave. It’s really late. Your dad could be worried about you.” she told him. “Oh, he knows.” He told her, getting up. She looked at him, surprised. “Your dad is really laid back, huh?” she asked him. “You don’t know half of it.” he told her. “See you tomorrow.”
She went to school after work. When she got there, she saw Zack standing by the gate, waiting for her. She ran up to him with a smile. “Morning.” she told him. “Morning munchkin.” He told her with a smile and patted her head. She threw him a weird look as he put his arm around her shoulders. “What is up with you these days? Jeez.” she said, looking at him with a frown. “What do you mean?” he asked her, pretending to not know what she was saying. They walked to class together. “It’s like you’re possessed by a flirting gh
Zack was outside, wandering around. He would always get bored whenever Lillian wouldn’t be with him. He stopped by a bridge and looked at the water in boredom. His phone buzzed in his pocket. He took it out and saw that he got a message from an unknown number. He opened it and saw Lillian in a restaurant with a guy and he was caressing her face. His hand curled into a tight fist, and then he received the location of the place. He ran to the place. He reached there in a few minutes and saw Lillian having dinner with the guy. Zack went inside and sat down at the table behind her. She didn’t see him because her back was facing him. He eavesdropped on their conversation.
