Smiles walked out of the company building, and stood by the road side as usual waiting for a taxi. There was no Derrick to drive her home today, because he had to go search more on his missing sister.Not like she needed him now, all she wished for is to be left alone. Thank goodness he wasn't here, like that wish of hers wouldn't have been granted Behind, was Keane and Lisa coming out of the building hand in hand with each other.She saw them and was quick to divert her gaze away from them. She knew herself better than to watch them being all lovey dovey.As usual, his car stopped before him and they drove away. She watches them leave, with no form of emotion. She's learned to brace up herself and not be the emotional type she's always been.Stopping a taxi, she buds in quietly gazing at nothing, seemingly lost in thought.Her drive home was somehow long because of the constant stop they had to make but it didn't bother her one bit, she wasn't conscious of her surroundings either.
The door to her room opens, and her head snaps to the side with a sweet smile on her face. She knew it was him and her heart couldn't stop beating in excitement.So she thought until the person behind the door made himself visible.Her face drops at the sight of the butler, standing by the door.Her once excited heart was now twisting in pain. What was she expecting? For him to leave his sweet Lisa and come check on her, His worker? That's ridiculous of her to think he will do such a thing."The young Master demands your presence, Ms" the butler informs, and leaves.As the obedient slave that she was, she climbs off the bed adjusting her dress. She was wearing grey sweatpants and a sweatshirt. Her cherry brown wavy hair was messy but it made her look even more beautiful.Bracing herself, she walks out of the room climbing down the stairs.Her gaze caught sight of Keane sitting in the dining, eating.He was alone, guess that's why he remembered her. Always the second choice."Heard you
There was absolutely nothing she could do, and it was so annoying to know her sluggishness would worsen with time.Keane was not at home, and she didn't get to think about him, thanks to social media and her online games.A knock came on the door, grabbing her attention as she stared at the door, ordering the person to come in.It was the butler, he walked in with a shopping bag and placed it by her bedside. She didn't bother moving an inch, not like she couldn't but because the butler always doesn't accept help saying he isn't that old and is capable of doing things himself.So much like everyone in this mansion, not interesting at all."Good morning, Ms" he greets. For the first time since she entered the mansion, he smiles at her.Her brows furrowed in disbelief, like is she dreaming or what? She thought, staring at him in utmost disbelief."G-good morning, Mr" she struggles and says, blinking."Your dress for the ball" he informs. She could only stare at him with no words left. Gu
As soon as they got into the building, she was taking in a tight hug. stunned by what was going on, her eyes met Keane's who responded with a nod."welcome pretty one!" She heard her say. quickly, she snapped out of it and returned the hug."Don't mind me, child, I am just so excited to see you?" grandma Shiley said coaxingly. She responds with a smile before saying"It's ok…" she left her words in suspense not knowing what to call her. Grandma Shiley was quick to notice and chuckled at her facial expression."You can call me grandma…I don't mind having beauty for a grandchild…" grandma Shiley said.Smiles was happy grandma Shiley was a social and open type. With all the numerous times she thought about this event, the last thing she expected was meet his family and the question she can't answer is why did he bring her instead of Lisa? Just what's going on?"Knowing I will get a super cute little Keane and…" Grandma Shiley trials of not knowing her name."Smiles…" She tells her but g
"Come here pretty one, grandma has a lot to show you" grandma Shiley pulls her away heading to a corner. Smiles turn to Keane and he nods."I know this isn't the right place and time but it was the only thing we could do to make that brat tag you along," Grandma Shiley said in a sad tone. Smiles felt sorry for her understanding her pain. But wait, have they been waiting to see her? She thought with slightly twist brows."It's fine grandma, I don't mind at all" She flashes a sweet smile, following her behind.Grandma Shiley led her into a room. It was big and everything was decorated blue. Lots of pictures of a cute little boys on the wall, and so on."Where did you two meet?" Came grandma's sudden question. Smiles didn't know if to answer honestly or lie but thinking about it, there was just no need to lie."His company…in an interview" she explained. It's not like that was the first place they met but at least, it's the most decent."Keane has never been a fan of ladies' reasons unk
"He looked even cuter when he was young," Smiles said, changing the topic. Grandma nods with a proud smile on her face."You know, when he was way younger…little girls couldn't get away from him…sometimes, we had to shove them away," Grandma Shiley said, reminiscing on how she always chased the children away."But it was different with him…he had no time for any, even a smile was hard to get from him" grandma continues. It wasn't strange to Smiles, she's seen it and she needs no one to tell her. The only person she's seen him smile with is Lisa, and she wishes she was the one."Always the lone and cold type," grandma Shiley tells. "Does that mean he had no friends?" Smiles asked curiously. Grandma chuckles."He has Derrick and Bruice…those are the only people he's got himself acquainted with"grandma Shiley informs. Smiles nod.They kept on discussing Keane and her childhood and how funny he was when he tried to imitate his favourite superhero 'Batman'. It was funny and Smiles couldn'
She felt as confident as ever, and all she could think about was him and his sweet taste. He was taken aback by her sudden braveness. Even though she showed it, he didn't know she would act this daring. But he didn't mind, he somehow loved it.His hands travel to her behind her head, pulling her even closer, taking in more of her sweet taste.Feeling the sudden quietness of the room, Smiles pulls away, covering her face on his chest, face red as a tomato. "They won't bite you, you know," he tells her but she doesn't move. This part of him brings out both the brave and shy sides of her. Was too brave to kiss him but at the same time shy to look at him.The song ended and Grandpa Jimmy and grandma Shiley walked up to them, with smiling faces."Common now, pretty one…I've got to introduce you to someone" he raised his hands urging her to grab which she did, following him quietly.He leads her to a group of men in expensive black suits, they were old but compared to grandpa Jimmy, they w
The party went on, with everyone chatting and drinking. Unlike the parties Smiles attended, this was different…classical and full of filthy rich men and women, dressed in expensive suits and their women with expensive ball gowns and jewellery.She never had any jewellery and she wasn't complaining, a bit like she wanted any.Watching the crowd dancing left a smile plastered on her face. The atmosphere was so lively and good that she felt so drowned in it and never wished to go.Her gaze caused the sight of Keane walking in her direction, her smiles broadening but quick to fade at the sight of the brunette beside him. She was the lady he's been hanging around with, Lisa….his first love and girlfriend. Smile hasn't seen her since she came unless it's just now she's coming. The sight of them holding hands like couples ache her already bleeding heart making it bleed even more. She staggers, almost falling. Thanks to the man behind the counter, she didn't fall."Be careful, beauty?" He s
