Elsa’s POV I set down my phone, and blushed furiously as my eyes glanced through the message on the notification.“Should I pluck the moon for you?”Jarvis sure is a great charmer!I tried concentrating on the assignment Mr Cooper had dropped on my table this morning before he left the office. I was tempted to respond to Jarvis’s message, but I didn’t because I knew he would respond right back, and I will not get the chance to concentrate on my work.My hand shook on the mouse, and I stopped abruptly, a word stood out in my mind from the Word file I was reading, “water fall” it brought back a memory of my foolishness,A foolishness that maybe made me appear desperate or had gotten my boyfriend back to his senses, I couldn’t be certain yet.“Miss Williams, aren’t you joining us for lunch?”Oh my goodness! It was lunchtime already!“You can go ahead, I will join you all soon.”I hastily rushed through my work, I was lazing around, enough chatting with Jarvis that I never noticed how mu
Elsa’s POV “Ko! Ko! Ko!”I was nervous, I nudged gently at the door before opening it, I walked in silently thinking through the reaction I was most likely to get, but he surprised me by his niceness.“Oh Elsa, come on in, do have your seat.”I hesitantly walked towards the chair he was pointing towards, and Doctor Harris’s cheerful smile followed me. “I hope you didn’t have to wait too long.” He questioned pleasantly.“Just a little bit.” I responded matching his positive tone.“Would you like some tea or coffee?”“I will pass, thank you, I just had a huge lunch few hours ago.”“Oh! Okay.”I didn’t waste much of the precious time he had to offer, I explained my grievances to him, he listened attentively without interrupting me which gave me the strength to pour out my heart. Few days ago, I had gotten overwhelmed by the status quo of things, I had too many conflicting thoughts, moving out of the mansion, living like a destitute, breaking up with Jarvis, that is if he still conside
Jethro’s POV“He is more like Jake than I imagined.”Was that meant to be a compliment or an insult? That is what I thought as I watched the old man blabber onward, I was torn between walking out on our boring conversations, and staying to secure the contract from the old geezer.“You know Jake and I had some alterations when we first met, but along the line, I fell in love with his personality.”“Father is a firm believer in self-discipline.” Jarvis said politely, I almost scoffed.“Indeed.”The rest of the long boring conversation went on, but I just sat there like a ragged doll, this was going to be the last time I spent my precious time with this old geezer Mr Gregory.We went fishing with him, freaking sightseeing, boat cruise, and now boring negotiation. If he needed a tour guide, he could freaking employ them!Jarvis brought out a document, and Mr Gregory signed on it, they shook hands, and he stretched his towards me, I took his hand politely, against my true feeling I pampere
Dylan’s POV“Good morning Mr Cooper.”I wish I could undo what I had done, that was my first instinct when Elsa greeted me, and her gaze lingered on me for long. I wished I could scold myself enough, but I don’t even have enough spare time for that. I had distanced myself from her enough.It hurts so much, but I had to endure everything, how my heart hurts whenever her gaze lingers on the CEO, I initially thought she was infatuated with him, when I found out about their relationship, my heart sank, I felt a loss, just as I did two years ago when Felicity decided to walk away from my life.The most difficult decision I took recently was telling Elsa my sob story,That I regret so much.I raised my head slowly as a signatory smell passed by me, a mixture of a highly concentrated cologne and tobacco. I didn’t need to be told, I knew that asshole Jethro Davidson had returned from the gates of hell.I had witnessed the moment he was rushed into the ambulance, and his brother, the CEO, was
Jethro’s POVI am doing the exact thing I hate the most, walking on a long distance without a destination in mind. Strangely, I wasn’t thirsty nor hungry, but I knew I needed to get out of this desert.The sky above me looked to have darkened more, I was afraid it could rain, I had to find shelter somewhere, but where do I find shelter when everywhere was an open sky.“Damn it!” I kicked the big stone beneath my feet, but my anger wasn’t justified, Instead it felt like I was being mocked at by whoever had thrown me here.I tried calling my brother, but he wasn’t responding, and I didn’t come along with my phone, how the fuck am I supposed to get out of here!The drizzling of the rain started as I had predicted, it rained really heavily, but strangely I wasn’t drenched. Was this some kind of a joke!I was still thinking about what I was going to do with my brother who had abandoned me here, when it occurred to me.Someone else was here!I saw the figure walking towards me, like my leas
Elsa’s POV “You are the reason for my personal struggles Elsa.”“Thump! Thump!”My heart started beating faster again, had I done something really wrong without knowing? I looked Mr Cooper in the eye. I couldn’t hide my bewilderment.“What! How so?”The words fell effortlessly from my mouth as if i had prepared it beforehand. I looked at my wristwatch, the lunch was coming to an end but, Mr Cooper’s choice of silence after throwing such a bombshell was starting to get on my nerves.He gave a pitiful look which was one thing I don’t like at all, I hate being pitiful, but he was my boss, how was I to correct his notion that my life isn't that pitiful, because he had saved me in one of those low moments.“Because…”I listened patiently, he was about to talk, I have no idea of why he had been holding back, but I am glad he had finally made up his speech.“Elsa, you are just like me.”Wait! What is this man saying for Pete’s sake, how was I to compare myself to him, a man with a perfect s
