Entering the building Amanda was met with the butler and Mrs. Robinson in the discussion."Morning Mr. Derrick, Morning Mrs. Robinson," "Morning dear, how was your night?" Mrs. Robinson greeted back while the butler only gave a Curt nod"It was fine , and how is my little Nina?""She's good," Mrs. Robinson responded."Is James still asleep?" Amanda inquired,looking at his room's direction."I don't think so, he might be up by now," the Butler Derrick replied."I'm going to him now," and with that Amanda made her way up to James's room.Standing at the door Amanda knocked lightly on it "Are you awake James?""Yes I am," James shouted in response after hearing the voice.Opening the door Amanda made her way inside the room, in front of the TV was James seated on a bean bag playing video games, even though Amanda entered the room he did not remove his eyes from it, all his attention was on it.Beside him was a pen and paper with nothing written on it."It's not nice to play video games
Entering the room James and Amanda began studying. "Why do you always leave your exam answer sheet blank," Amanda asked, going through his school papers."No reason, just feel like doing it," was the only answer James could provide."It's not good to leave your answer sheet blank, your grades are going to be low," Amanda explained, looking in James' direction."I don't want high grades," James said looking down."Why don't you want high grades?" Amanda asked, maintaining eye contact with James."No one will praise me when I have like other kids, so why should I have it," he explained."You don't have to worry about that, when you make good grades this time around, I'm going to buy you a present," Amanda replied with a smile."Really, " James asked feeling skeptical about it"Yes, I will even show you my secret to winning video games," Amanda giggled."Hope you won't go back on your word," James asked, making eye contact with Amanda." I won't, I promise," Amanda said."Now take this
Amanda stood with Eric, both of them staring at each other. Amanda doesn't want to invite him in but Eric wants to go in at least to know what her house looks like.Their eyes met and they both looked away. Eric tried to say something but found words stuck in his throat. He cleared his throat which made Amanda tense. "I have to take my leave now," Eric said, scratching his head and feeling awkward like a high school boy visiting his crush's house for the first time."Okay… I'm sorry I didn't invite you in," Amanda apologized which made Eric barely smile. He just nodded and turned to walk back to his car. He stole a glance at Amanda who stood there looking at him before entering his car and driving off.Amanda heaved a sigh of relief, wondering why Eric suddenly wanted to be invited into her house. As she got in she studied around and shook her head. It was nowhere to be compared to his mansion so she didn't think he would end up being comfortable in it.She sighed as she slumped on t
Eric stretched as he opened his eyes. He drank himself to sleep last night. He yawned and stood up feeling tired. He was happy that he didn't have a hangover because of the content of the alcohol he took last night. He walked into the bathroom and washed his face before staring at the wall mirror in the bathroom.He saw Amanda's pretty face smiling happily at him, he shook his head and it disappeared. He has been dreaming about them all night and couldn't have a proper sleep as he would wake up at intervals with his name on her lips. He still couldn't figure out why he was feeling this way for him. Now he feels like seeing her again before he leaves for work.He strode out of his bathroom and checked the time, it was just past 6 am and he knew she had extra two hours to resume the day. He sighed out loud and decided to see her before leaving for work.He quickly took a quick shower and walked to his study to attend to some files as he would go late. If it were to be before Amanda came
Eric made sure he started leaving for home early, he wanted to see Amanda again before she leaves. Throughout the conversation with Marcus, he still couldn't remove Amanda from his mind.As his driver drove him home, he was eager to see her pretty face again. He smiled as he remembered her face in the morning. She was simply beautiful and he appreciated that. He couldn't contain the excitement he was feeling inside him.He smiled when he remembered how she was always looking innocent and elegant.He chuckled, which made his driver look at him. Eric immediately composed himself and put up a frown.He didn't know why the thoughts of Amanda were making him feel like a little kid, he didn't want to fall for her but he couldn't just help himself.The driver got home and he came out of the car, hurrying to go meet Amanda before she leaves for the day. As he got inside, he met Amanda and James playing video games. They were laughing heartily and trying to win each other.Eric didn't know why
Amanda stood behind the kitchen counter, recalling everything that had happened. She still didn't know why Eric acted that way over a video game. He knew she was doing her job effectively."Was he already angry before he came back from work," she thought, feeling disturbed about everything that had happened? She couldn't even grasp her fingers at what might be the problem and sighed concluding James turned out that way because of his relationship with Eric who only scolds him but doesn't care about his welfare."It's bad for a father to treat his son that way thinking it was right," she thought and sighed. She opened her pot to check the noodles she was preparing.The water was almost dried up so she quickly moved over to the center table to cut some vegetables she wanted to add to the noodles. After about five minutes, she was already done. She inhaled the sweet Aroma she was perceiving from her noodles and smiled and licked her lips expectantly waiting to have a taste.It has been
The day was very stressful for Eric at the office, he walked into the living room, met Amanda and James, and felt a little bit guilty about what happened the other day. He quietly stood in a corner and watched them studying. None of them noticed him except some domestic staff who quietly continued their duties like they weren't seeing each other anymore. Eric continued watching them as he admired Amanda all over his face but he felt a slight headache and decided to go upstairs to freshen up and have a quick nap. He walked forward towards the stairs and that was when Amanda and James noticed his presence. James flinched and grabbed Amanda's hand which made her notice he was afraid of Eric."Can we go to my room to continue studying?" James asked Amanda in a whisper. His voice was tense and he couldn't even properly put his speech together. It made Amanda sad because it was very bad for a father and son to have such a relationship. She looked at Eric who was now about to climb the
Eric woke up some hours later and got up. He climbed down the stairs and went to sit down to have his dinner. The domestic staff served dinner and he waited for James to come down but he didn't. He got worried and sent one of the domestic staff to remind James about Dinner.The domestic staff left and came back after some minutes, saying that James refused to open the door for him nor reply to any of the words he said to him. Eric got worried and abandoned the dining table. He climbed up to go meet James.He got to his door and knocked quietly."James it's me, please open the door," He called out but James didn't say anything."Open the door, I want to have a brief conversation with you," Eric said but James still didn't say anything to him.He got worried and started banging the door lightly asking James to open it up. James burst into tears and started sobbing out loud."I don't want to talk to you, please go away," he said to Eric and he became weak."I just want us to have a harml
