Jethro’s POV Contrary to everyone else’s opinion, I hate what I was seeing right here, I didn’t sense any bit of hostility in the air, no tension, it just seemed normal like there hadn’t been any problem from onset.“What do you want Jethro, you have been standing there for ages.”“Are you that uncomfortable to see me now?” I said holding Jarvis’s gaze. I noticed Elsa had dropped the brown envelope between her fingers, she crossed her fingers and her eyes rested solely on me,She didn’t seem intimidated by me at all, it has been about two weeks since she returned to Glassdoor empire, but I still can’t get used to the new her, more annoying,I have no hold on her anymore,I felt more bitter.“Mr Davidson, can you pass my request to the housekeeper to ensure she dispose my trash can today, I can’t remember what I saved her contact with.”“Okay, right away.”I looked between my brother and Elsa, I was right, there was no hostility between them anymore , on the contrary, they looked like
Jarvis’s POV I had to hold up appearances, but I was already getting really bored, my eyes stayed glued on my phone as Elsa’s messages kept popping up every passing minute. Father and the Brownfield Empire CEO were busy testing out their mushy sense of humor, hoping I would be wooing his bulgy eyed daughter.Unfortunately, I was not in the least bit interested, and thankfully, she didn’t appear to be either.She had focused her attention on the food set out before us, her hands kept typing hastily on the phone, and her eyes hovered in between the food and her phone screen. If she was trying to impress me, she would have acted more appropriately just like my last blind date.I responded to Elsa’s last message and dropped my phone on the table, I looked up and she did the same just in time, I noticed she looked totally embarrassed, she also dropped her phone and plastered a pretentious smile on her face, thankfully the two old geezers had moved on to another table to discuss business n
Elsa’s POV I had to keep looking away to avoid giving off my blush in a room filled with corporate icons. I had finally admitted to it, my unending affection for Jarvis.The previous day had come with so much intensity that we had ended up giving in to our hearts, against common sense, I had forgiven Jarvis, I had accepted to love him again, it felt like the butterflies never left my belly in the first place with the way I poured out all my frustrations in my rant to him.He was attentive, just as how we had started out at his father’s mansion. We had always been a source of comfort to each other before it graduated to love, now it was all reignited along with the unwavering love.Just when I was starting to feel foolish about taking up the role of a damsel in distress, Jarvis started his own rants. How he could barely live since I left. He had rebelliously left his father’s mansion to live in the apartment because of the whole altercation that happened between them.I felt immense g
Elsa’s POV I feel light-hearted after talking to Leila, it felt like everything wasn’t messed up, but unfortunately, it was all still messed up in reality. I couldn’t hold Jarvis’s gaze the next day, and the feeling of uneasiness was mutual.I managed to get up from the bed the next day despite feeling exhausted from the tension of the previous day. I made for the bathroom but the cold made it quite difficult for me to undress, I picked up the shampoo and scrubbed over my greasy hair before I finally had it washed and took my bath hastily. It was a Sunday, but I didn’t feel like doing anything today. I should be resting, isn’t that what God created the day for?The loud banging on my door got me riled up, “Miss Williams.”I let out a sigh of relief, it was Mr Collin, I was certain.I made for the door and opened it, Mr Collins greeted me excitedly and told me how his mum had started recovering from her illness, I was surprised,What a great topic to discuss that early in the mornin
Jethro’s POVI woke up really pissed, I hadn’t planned on going out for that day, but I had made that choice before I could even open my eyes, the terrifying nightmare I just had changed my mind instantly.I made for the shower and wrapped a huge towel round by bulging erection. I remembered my father's scolding of me a few days ago and fresh anger soared in me. I took a warm shower and made for the bedroom, being prone to cold had its downsides, a lot of it.I made my way out of my room dressed in ripped jeans and a red t-shirt, I knew father wouldn’t approve of my appearance, but I couldn’t care less, it is weekend afterall.I had done enough of pretending to be “formal” during the week.On my way to the dining area, the fresh smell of fresh toast filled my nostrils, I inhaled it happily, it felt like all my problems had melted away at that very moment, not that I have much problems, except the fact that father is poking around my life too much.I got to the dining area and I couldn’
Jarvis’s POV My eyes met Elsa's, and I could tell she was embarrassed by my presence. I felt Diana’s long fingers resting on my shoulder as she walked up to me, the commotion had died down a bit as Elsa’s attention was focused on me, for an unknown reason,I felt guilty,Guilty of something that shouldn’t be a crime.“This bitch lied, I swear.”I heard the drunk man trying to defend himself. I looked through his appearance and I could tell he had all the stereotypes of a new money, and most new money are always unnecessarily loud!“Miss Williams, let us leave.”One of her colleagues said, trying to drag her shoulder, confusion written on their faces. I sighted them all except the hefty one, his name I tend to forget.Elsa turned her back, probably trying to take the counsel of her colleagues, but her opponent held back her wrist, taking her and everyone by surprise.“Where the hell do you think you are going bitch? I have to sue you for defamation, or you apologize right now!”Anger
