Jethro`s POVWe both stood there feeling stupid, drenched in sweet cake and its icing, the department heads started ushering the other workers out. Jarvis was panting hard, so was I, he had started the charade first, I hadn’t meant to show the world what goes on privately in the Davidson`s mansion, but right now in front of the whole company staffs, We had both acted crazy!I was no longer fuming, I had drenched my brother with enough cake icing to reciprocate his actions towards me, annoyingly, that wench Elsa walked out on us along with the other staffs in company of another man. When the hall has almost been emptied, I ask that we be left alone, and my brother concurred. After the shivering human resources department manager left, Jarvis sat on the floor and I did the same, he brought out a handerchief and cleaned up his face, he brought out another and threw in my direction.“At least we got a sweet cake made for us despite our bitter lives.”“Speak for yourself Jarvis, my life
Jarvis`s POVI am regretting it already, forcing my brother for another birthday preparations. Sometimes I know it might sound childish, but our mother had saddled me with the responsibility of making things work. I knew this was an avenue to bring back some bliss to our eventful twenty eight years of living.The day started so well as the head maid had baked us giant cakes already, even Elsa had helped out too, to my surprise and pleasure, the promising day was going on well, and I planned something special for it,Something that I was certain I should! I got out of the shower and picked up my clothes from the closet. I looked over at the set of new ties sent over last week. A blue polka dot one caught my attention, so I made use of it. I checked my reflection in the mirror afterward and smiled satisfactorily to myself, I had done it, I had looked special.The dining area stood tall as I approached it, I was met with awkward silence despite three people were in it. I let out a deep
Elsa’s POV I slammed my bedroom door out of anger, just when everything starts to make sense, some unexpected circumstance will arise. The head maid had told me about my father’s struggles working for Mr Davidson.I had sensed it on some days, whenever he returns from work, his unusual silence, but I had always gotten fooled whenever he hides his pain underneath the forced smiles, he wasn’t physically abused,But emotionally, he was shattered!I heard a resounding knock on my door, but I didn’t respond to it because I knew Jethro could have started his craziness. I hadn’t seen him all evening, but I wouldn’t know if he had returned. The banging sound didn’t stop, so I was forced to go check it out.A pair of sapphire blue eyes met with mine, and I couldn’t help, but be mesmerized by it.“Hi….I am looking for someone…I mean my boyfriend… Mr Davidson.”I narrowed my eyebrows, and unconsciously scanned the lady’s appearance. She was naturally stunning with a cute little face, and she sm
Elsa’s POV I checked my reflection in the mirror and held my hand over my mouth in awe. The flawless makeup on my face, and my flowing white dress got me really nervous. I sat up and adjusted my poise, to my satisfaction , I looked really elegant.“You are such a stunning baby.”I heard my father say, he had stood behind me all along, my eyes met his from the mirror reflecting, and I smiled warmly at him, relief flooded my heart that I wasn’t alone.“You make a beautiful bride, daughter.”I was astonished, mother! I turned slightly, and my eyes met the strange woman. In truth, she looked like an older version of me, I couldn’t believe my eyes, Mother had returned!She hugged me warmly, and I melted into her arms, all my pile up grievances left me. I looked at the wall clock beside the mirror, it was the same wall clock my father had always cherished, what he had left of my grandfather.I just somehow knew it was time, I disentangled myself from my mother, although I had numerous que
Dylan`s POVHe walked towards us like a roaring wind, and I felt the earth shaking like a magma was about to erupt. I knew what it was, I had made him mad. I had given Elsa what he couldn’t.A recognition!As we stood there talking with those men, I noticed Elsa`s countenance and mood, I guess she feels invisible so I knew I had to rid her of that, she is worth more than she gives herself credit for. I knew it wouldn’t sit well with Jarvis Davidson, but I did it anyway. Now that he was returning with fire in his eyes, I knew I must meticulously quench it.“Mr. Davidson, I have been meaning to come see you about that concluded project.”As I had predicted, he stopped in his track, I smiled inwardly, that trick works every time. When someone looks too angry, just counterattack with a non-challant request or business.“Which of the completed projects?”His voice was cold and sharp, but I couldn’t care less, at least I had achieved my aim. He threw a side glance at Elsa who had mirrored m
Elsa’s POV “Is anything the problem Miss Williams?”I am blushing furiously! The memory of the passionate kiss from last night had lingered in my heart, I hadn’t thought it could all turn out this perfect, or almost perfect, if Jethro wasn’t in the picture.“I am fine thank you.”I tried to focus my attention on work, now wasn’t the time to relax, I am still in the moment of proving my worth to the company, and I cannot blow my chance by being lovesick, even Jarvis wouldn’t be able to help me if I am truly deemed lacking.“Can you spare me some time Miss Williams?”I looked up to see Primrose batting her long lashes at me. I had almost forgotten about her, the drama filled day I had yesterday, This time around she sounded more polite than she did before. This time around, Mr Cooper hadn’t stepped in, I guess it was all a mere coincidence then.I stood up and followed her. Jethro tailed me with his eyes, but I ignored it all. Apparently, Mr Jake had instructed him to return to our dep
