Chapter 37
It had been a week, and I hadn’t heard anything from Gabrielle. Even I hadn’t noticed it. This week was filled with me breaking my head open trying to come up with a research topic. Candace had decided that she wanted to do the research alone, and I decided that I would do it in a group.
The thing was I was not really confident in my subject knowledge. I felt like I always knew less than the others in some way or the other While most kids felt open and comfortable in a lab setting, I often found myself nervous and constantly anxious about whether I would do something wrong. It was different if I was alone in a lab, then I felt much comfortable. It was this very problem that I found myself often questioning my choice of subject. But I wanted to do this. I always wanted to do this. I wanted to know if I could somehow change a person’s course by coming up with better medication.
Maybe if we knew how to exactly keep things at bay, maybe just m

He looks around to make sure that the cafe was actually empty. I give him a questioning look, only for it to be soon be replaced with a horrified expression.William slowly strides towards me, all the humour erased from his face. His eyes had an evil glint to them, and a smirk was dancing on his lips.“I think it’s time you received a punishment.” He says, still walking towards me. I find myself backing away. For every step he takes towards me, I take one backwards.“Um, What are you doing William,” I ask, my voice wary. He doesn’t say anything. He continues walking towards me.“William, snap out of it,” I say, my eyes widening and fear actually gripping my heart. He looked like something had come over him.My back hits the wall, and I could feel the fear gnawing at my skin. He stops two feet away from me and stares at me.I look up at him, scared, my eyes da

I hear my phone vibrate in my pocket. I ignore it and get back to making lecture notes. My phone vibrates again in succession. I frown, wondering who was it that was texting me at 8:30 in the morning.Having your phone vibrate against your leg was a weird feeling. It made my legs tickle whenever it did so. I wanted to take my phone out of my pocket and check who it was that was texting me now. I resisted the urge to do so and continued with the class.--As soon as the class was over, I whipped out my phone and checked my phone.Beautiful eyes: ‘ Are you free tonight?’My eyebrows furrowed. Who was beautiful eyes? It took me a minute to remember that I had saved Gabrielle’s number as beautiful eyes. I quickly texted him back.Me: ‘Yeah. What time?’He replies back after a minute.Beautiful eyes: ‘Around 7. ‘I could feel my heart beating.

I held the dress up against my body, already loving the feel of it. The dress was strapless, the bust was black that shone in the light. It had one shoulder, but the shoulder was the same as the flowy satin green skirt. The dress had a huge split on one side, the rest of the skirt was long, and it had a slight train.My eyes fell on two smaller boxes, one was creamish in colour and the other one was pink in colour.I first opened the creamish box and found a small chain and a bracelet in it. The chain was delicate, and I was scared that it would break in my hands, but surprisingly it was strong too. The bracelet was a simple silver bracelet with a small stone in the centre. I just hoped that it wasn’t a real stone.I opened the next box and gasped. I could feel the heat rushing to my face and turning it bright right. I gingerly lifted the lace lingerie that was of the same emerald green as the dress. Why did he have to buy me lingerie too

I wait for a minute or two for someone to open the door. Usually, I would have done it, but I didn’t really know where to go, and a part of me was scared of what was out there.I move towards the door and grab the handle. Just as I was about to open the door, it swings open from the outside.I peek outside to see that it was Gabrielle who opened the door. I take his hand that he offered and climb out of the car. Getting out of the car with heels on was really a pain. I let go of his hand as soon as I am standing.“Thank you,” I reply, giving him a smile. He checks me out openly, not even trying to look subtle in any way. I pretend that I don’t notice it. I give him a once over, sneakily from the corner of my eye.To say that he was looking handsome would be an understatement, he looked ethereal. He had a midnight blue suit on, which complemented my dress pretty well. He had a black-tie on, and a glittering e

I politely smile at the people while Gabrielle leads me further into the hall. The hall was so huge that it made even a crowd like this look small. I wanted to duck my head, but wherever we went, I could feel the stares in my back.The stares weren’t much directed at me but at Gabrielle. People looked at him as though he was the king of a large country. I guess he kind of was in a way in the world of business. This made me wonder, what a twisted fate it was for me to come across a man so powerful, forget about having him as my sugar daddy. It all felt like a dream to me.The smile soon slips from my face, and I find myself looking at my surrounding me with awe. Huge chandeliers hung from the ceiling, glittering like diamonds under the warm lighting. Rich curtains draped around the place, and a huge table was set aside, displaying various kind of food items. The centre was empty, soft music playing the background so that people could dance yet nobody m

Gabrielle has been talking to this group of people for so long now. Not even ten minutes into the conversation, and I found myself zoning out. There was a lot of talk about money, deals and statistics. Yes, I could understand some of it; I had done a short online course on accounts a year back. It was a necessity, as my father was no longer there to help with the accounts stuff, a subject he was so good at, and I took it as my mission to learn a few basics and take his place. But all of this was just a little too much, and it was quite boring.I wanted to leave; I kept sneaking glances at the people around us. I was hungry, and I could feel my stomach grumbling. It was around eight now, and yet very few of them had bothered enough to have dinner; the rest of them seemed too caught up with their conversations.I glanced at the food table and felt my stomach grumble once again. Would it be rude if I excused myself and helped myself with some food? Ugh, this s

Honestly, I would willingly do something stupid just to piss off the people around me and not get called to these things. Well, I guess I had to bear with these things if I wanted to be paid then yes.I hide my phone on my lap, and I browse through Instagram. I don’t think it’s proper etiquette to be on your phone while you are eating in a social setting. But in my defence, I was alone, and I didn’t want to stare at people while I shoved food in my mouth.“Boo!” I hear a whisper in my ears, and I nearly drop my phone and my fork. I look up to see that it was Harold who did that.“Jesus, you almost gave me a heart attack,” I exclaim, holding a hand to my chest.He takes a seat opposite me and dives into his plate of food.“tch, tch. It’s so rude to be on your phone when there are people around you.” He says, shaking his head.“I was bored,” I

“Trust me I wasn’t trying to seduce you,” I reply, fighting off the heat and getting my composure back. He lifts one eyebrow up as though he couldn’t believe it.“Felt like it, though.” He says. I look him straight in the eye, and he sits up straight, feeling the change in my demeanour.I lean forward, suddenly feeling powerful.“That was anything but seducing. If I was to seduce, you wouldn’t have been able to hold up your composure or stand straight for that matter.” I whisper. His eyes widen, and he suddenly looks out of breath. I sit back, a smirk playing on my lips. I loved how powerful this made me feel. I hadn’t done this before, and somehow Gabrielle was arousing a side of me that I didn’t know existed.The limo comes to a stop, and I scoot towards the door, getting ready to get out of the limo. Before I close the door behind me, I pop my head back in the lim
