“Thank you for your kindness,” Gift smiled as she looked her in the eye, still acting casual and that was just what Ruby loved the most about her as she reminded her of her younger self.
“Sure, anytime,” she beamed, feeling more excited as she took a step forward with the eyepatch lady before suddenly stopping, “let me tell you a secret, when you're coming, you must…”
Zenith on the other hand was about to follow after them as he felt a possessiveness to see when Gift was taken away, but before he could take a step further, he was swarmed by other people around who mustered up their courage to find out what exactly had transpired from the last man standing.
Gift, due to the emergency, was left by herself on the corridor and with no sense of direction, she found herself at the balcony of that floor.
As the breeze hit, she realized that there was no
“Here, look at this,” he remembered the card Ruby had given him and handed it to them,their eyes widened upon recognizing it and they decided to reconsider, but not until they had put a call through to Scarlet who had scolded them for keeping such an esteemed guest waiting while threatening to take their lives if such happened again.Now they had to face the wrath of Zenith in person.The reason why they could remain strong and adamant was because they were scared of losing their lives to Ruby Yu's blood thirsty assistant, but now that that fear was gone, it was now replaced by the dreadful rumors they had heard of Zenith.They fell to their knees with their head lowered, ready to get hit if it alleviated Zenith's anger.“Where is she?” was all he managed to mutter as they conceded.“On the first floor by the balco
On that Saturday, shortly after they had left Olivia at home with Trenor and her dad for babysitting, Joseph and his stepmom arrived at their mansion after she had burnt his lunch.Plus he needed to get his weekend's portion of Gift's food while his stepmom needed to step out for a breather after a heated argument with his dad.At Zenith's mansion, the five of them had gotten to know each other and it was during this time that Joseph's Stepmom was allowed in their guest storage room where she found some of the interior decor material Gift had gotten on her first day there.In her boredom and in a bid to get her mind off her issues with her husband, she had decided to spend her time arranging the interiors while Olivia found herself listening to Joseph's plan for the futureOn both sides, the members of the Kim family had spent their Saturday doing new things and finding out a part o
As she reached the fifth floor and sprinted out to enter the elevator which just happened to be free, she noticed other members with their briefcases and bags and she froze as she realized that her hands were empty.“Damn it!” She cussed as she watched it get filled up again.She had to run back down to the restroom to get her bag because it contained important files that she'd needed for her presentation.As she reached the ground floor, she noticed Ken and Trisia smooching and kissing themselves goodbye before he entered the building.Unable to take her eyes off them, she stayed rooted on the spot and got caught by Ken who smirked at her before she shook her head and she finally moved.She felt too drained to take the stairs, so she decided to wait until the elevator was free.All the adrenaline rush she felt earlie
As she got out, she needed to go find the coffee stand with mugs, because after checking the storage on that floor, all she managed to find was one mug which was already cracked amongst the files and papers in it.And when she asked the cleaning lady whom she directed to Zenith's office, she shrugged, “I don't know, I'm new here.”Now she was helpless with no choice but to look in every storage room of all the fifteen floors of the building in search of mugs for her demanding boss.She could only take the elevator down to the fourteenth floor, but for the rest of her journey, she had to take the stairs as it was closer.And not until she reached the ground floor did she find what she was looking for.Her face still had red spots, but they had reduced compared to the time she had just washed her face and now, she just looked pale as sweat
“What's wrong daughter, are you hurt anywhere?” The voice of her father who pampered her to death arose with concern for Sofia, none for Gift whoe face was twisted in pain and discomfort.“Daddy,” she whined, “it was black coffees no milk or sugar. It was so bitter like poison,” she continued to out in her display while Zenith frowned at his messy office, boy a hint of surprise for Gift.“Clean up this place!”“While you're at it, get some coffee with plenty of milk and sugar for my daughter she's so said right now,” her father said as he patted her back to console her.“Why didn't you tell me before hand, you did intentionally. Daddy, this witch wanted to poison me.”“I'll take my leave now. I'll get the coffee and cleaning materials,” she said as she walked back wit
“Oh really, I saw him at the party and he's soo handsome, I like him too. Daddy, I'm coming with you,” she stubbornly declared and her father couldn't bring himself to convince her any further,no when she looked so cute that he anted to give her the world.“Okay,” he said as he looked at her with a serious tone, “but I need to warn you, he is the devil himself and nothing as kind as President Zenith,” he said as p2he glanced up Zenith's building.“It's fine, I have my charms,” she giggled as she got into the car with him, wile her father kept wondering to himself why Jackson had called him over when they had no business prior to that.At the hospital, Zenith and Trenor were in a hated argument outside Gifts room after being sent out by the doctor treating her.“Just what in the world is wrong with you. I've know you for twe
“I'll have to pass on that,” he said as the door was suddenly pushed open and a nurse came in.“Dad, the patient in room 3077 didn't take her drugs with her, and didn't finish her deip either. She's so stubborn,” she complained as she closed the door behind her.“I'll call back her colleagues to give it to her,” the doctor replied and she nodded.“Okay,” she said, “I really pity her though, she has such a sad life.” She hadn't noticed Zenith in the room as her eyes were almost closed from squeezing them in a frown.“Her situation is really critical but she can't even focus because of her guilt. Her situation is looking really similar to the former occupant of that room,” the nurse said emphatically as she opened the fridge and took a bottle of water.“Right, Stella, what ha
He frowned at the interaction, noting how slouched over Gift was as she talked and how closer she seemed to have gotten with Trenor.It bothered him for a while, but he shook it off, deciding it was better he ignored anything that had to do with her, but despite his convincing himself, he didn't leave the spot he was standing until he heard her shut the door to her room.Gift entered her room, set her meds aside, took her bath and found her dress for the next day.She felt exhausted as she laid on the bed, but sleep didn't come, so she stared right at the ceiling wondering what she had done wrong.“I wonder if he's acting strangely because did that,” she thought as she brought her fingertips up to her lower lip.Her cheeks warmed up but she shook her head and turned and tossed on her bed.Although she couldn't f
