“We're here ma'am.” Ethan announced as he pulled over in the parking lot of Zean School of Business. Thea took a deep breath, it's just a class but why was she so nervous? “Thanks.” She smiled as she picked up her bag, ready to start her day. Her hand touched the door and she hesitated, maybe she's not as ready as she thought she was.“I…I need a minute.” Thea muttered, her fingers fidgeting with her things. She had no clue what else to pick up or..“Ms Thea, I believe you'll do great.” Ethan offered, his eyes meeting hers from the rear view mirror with a smile. She nodded. “Thank you. I'll let you know when my classes are over.” Ethan nodded, she had promised to alert him if she was ever in any serious danger. Thea walked onto the campus, feeling a mix of nerves and excitement. It's finally happening!The classroom was small and modern, students were already gathering and chatting in small groups. Thea found a seat near the back, pulling out her notebook, she wanted to focus.
Posy pulled up to the driveway, her heart sinking with every turn of the wheels. She had no idea why Adam was pissed or why Gina had called her frantically.Whatever the reason is, it better be worth leaving her dinner date with Runes! She walked through the front doors, the silence inside was unsettling. What's going on? “Welcome, Ms Posy.” A housemaid greeted, taking her coat, her eyes avoiding Posy's. “Where is my Mother?” “She's in the living room. Would you like me to bring you anything else?” “No.” Posy heads towards the living room to see Gina, pacing and wringing her hands. Her brows furrowed in concern and she took deep breaths every now and then. “Mum? What happened? I had to end my date with Runes.” Gina turned towards her, face crumpled with anger.“What the hell have you done?!” Gina snapped, her voice dropping in a low whisper. “What…what's going on? Why is father upset?” Posy asked. "Your father... he's in his study. He's absolutely livid about that Mazelee c
Posy steals glances at Runes as he settles down on the seat across the table. She stared at her reflection on the blank phone screen, making sure she looked her very best. She had made reservations for the famous Azure Spoon restaurant in the very heart of Zean. It took a lot but she was able to book a private room for their little dinner date. “Thanks for coming.” She said as Runes pulled down the napkin on his lap. He nodded, his eyes fixed on everything but her face. Hell, he could be anywhere else but here..“I pulled some strings to book this private room. Do you like it?” “It's fine.” Runes replied simply. "Rune, I... I'm really sorry about the scene at the bridal store yesterday," Posy began, twisting the napkin in her lap. "Thea can be so difficult. I told her you would be showing up and that she should leave but… I should have told you. I'm sorry. And things have been a bit rocky between us too. I really hope we can fix that."Rune took a slow sip of his water, his face
The only thing she could hear was her own heavy breathing and the sound of her sneakers hitting the treadmill.She woke up with a burst of energy the next morning and with the thought of last night hanging over her head, she felt..different.She was right, Seth failed and he didn't bother to argue last night. What if he didn't because she was wrong? It didn't matter.One thing she knew she wasn't wrong about was how he couldn't take his eyes off her. That in itself is a fact that made her get out of bed with a little dance in her feet.Her classes at the Zean School of business would start soon and she decided it was time to slip into a routine. Gym, shower, breakfast and school.Maybe she would feel a little sane if she stuck to that routine. Thea glanced at the treadmill, it's been fifteen minutes. She pushed the stop button and got off, grabbing her towel in the process. She wipes her face with the towel, walking towards the dumbbells.As she got closer, she saw through the gym’s
Thea stepped into the penthouse after a long day of playing pretend with Posy. She was just in time to freshen up and get ready for the dinner plans she had with Celine.“Good evening, Ms Thea.” Butler John greeted as soon as Thea walked in..“Good evening John.” Thea replied, ready to hurry up the stairs and get ready as fast as she possibly could. “Is Seth back?” “Mr Seth is back and your dress is already in your room.” Thea nodded and hurried up the stairs, she needed to be as fast as possible, not because she didn't want to keep Seth waiting, she was excited to see Celine again. She walked into her suite, her mind buzzing with the thought of the evening ahead at Celine’s.She got to her quarters, stripped down and took a quick shower before returning back to her room where the dress Seth had got her, laid on her bed.She was too much in a hurry to notice earlier but now she did. He surprisingly had a good taste, if he really picked this dress himself that is. It was a green lo
Thea stepped out of the penthouse hours later and much to her relief, Seth had left for the office. Butler John had a car ready to drop her off at her location and as instructed by Seth, a guard was assigned to her.More like Seth's personal spy. The car pulled over by the parking lot and a man in a suit stepped out, pulling off his shades.“Good morning, Ms Thea. I'm Ethan and I'll be your personal escort from now on.” “Nice to meet you Ethan but do me a favour, you'll be in the car when we get to my destination.” Thea instructed firmly.“I'm sorry ma'am but Mr Seth told me to make sure I'm with you at all times.” Thea chuckled, what is she? A child? “Ethan, it's your first day at work and I d0n’t want to make this difficult for you. It's either we do it my way or things are not going to look good for you.” Thea said calmly. It was a threat but somehow, she managed to make it sound like an advice. Ethan swallowed. “I promise to stay out of your way ma'am.” Thea smiled and se
