Terms and Conditions SIXTY TWO
MAYI had no reason to worry, after all. Edmond cared about me deeply. While it might have been a natural inclination to feel a hint of jealousy or territorial instinct, it simply wasn't worth allowing those emotions to chip away at my mental well-being.After giving them a moment, I walked over to them. The flicker of jealousy that had momentarily ignited inside me had faded away completely when Edmond's gaze met mine – a gaze that made me feel like the sole focus of his attention in the entire room."Excuse me," he told Lucille before stepping away and approaching me."Hey," he said, his tone carrying a new kind of warmth. This moment felt different, almost like a knot I hadn't even realized I had been carrying all day had suddenly come undone.I glanced at Lucille, who stood there with an awkward smile. "You two seemed to be having a conversation. I hope I'm not interrupting anything." I said.Edmond's eyes met mine again, a small smile playing on his lips. "Are you feeling a bit j

MAYI was washing out the tear stains off my face when the bathroom door opened, and someone walked in. I did not need to look in the mirror to know it was Lucille. Her perfume had a certain signature that couldn’t be missed.It hurt my pride a little bit that she got to see me like this. I could not help but feel she would relish this. I could not even hate her for it. So I just made up my mind to ignore her presence while I took time to get my act together so I could leave.Considering the remnants of my makeup were already ruined, I decided the best thing to do was wash it all off. I looked at the mirror, my attention fixated on my reflection, even if I could see Lucille Hall fixing up her lipstick. I hoped she would pretend she did not see me at my worst. The raw emotions still consumed me even if I had stopped crying. So I really hoped she would take the hint and let it be. She could laugh behind my back for all I cared. Not just here.But apparently, Lucille was not the kind of

EDMONDI fucked up, and I had Snuggle to blame. The stupid task Snuggle handed me, to patch things up with Lucille had distracted me for a minute. I took a step forward to chase after May. But she was long gone.I looked back to see April Wolfe. She had a champagne glass in her hands and a confused look on her face. Like, she didn’t get it. It was hard not to make a scene. Because every bone in my body wanted to smack that fucking glass of her hands and yell into her face. The more I pondered about it, the more it made sense. My grip tightened over my phone.“Are you not going to go after her?” Lucille asked.It was almost as if Snuggle was listening. My phone beeped again, and I dared to look. Just as I suspected, it was a message from Snuggle. “Time is of the essence,” It read. “Ivy Estates can still be used to instill cooperation.”The last bit did just what they wanted it to do. Panic flooded my system. The Ivy Estates was finally out. Another seizure would be catastrophic. I did

MAYI was not the brightest, and Edmond Walters was not the easiest to read. But since he returned from his bathroom break, I realized that something was up with him. I could see it when he joined Tyrone Davidson to cut the ribbon to commemorate the opening of the Ivy Estates. I could see that worry in his eyes while pictures of us were being taken. I believed it must have been a daunting task that Snuggle had sent his way. But there was something else. Something that made that thought shrivel up and die. He kept moving me around. Like he was afraid to bump into someone.It had to be the woman who started it all. Lucille. I had seen her during the photo shoot. She was holding hands with Tyrone Davidson, the co-owner of the Estates. I had not been the only one whose eyes had wandered. She did not notice me. Scratch that, she did notice me, but she did not care enough to give me the time of day. There were, however, stolen moments when she and Edmond made eye contact. Those brief second

EDMONDWatching life return to May’s eyes and soul brought me joy as the countdown to the Ivy estates opening closed in on us. She laughed more. She was back to being herself. Carefree and set in her ways.Then the D-day struck. It felt like prom all over again. Except this time, I actually cared about it and I had a date I liked. Looking at my reflection, I checked out the suit May had gotten me. It was simple yet sleek. She did have a good eye. I adjusted my tie before making it crooked again. A wry smile made its way to my mouth knowing what I did.May had taken everything she was to wear for the opening to another room. In her words, she wanted everything to be perfect. It was torture waiting for her. I paced around the room, wondering if my necktie looked crooked enough for her to notice while I practiced what I would say when she came in all dressed up. I did not want it to be cheesy but May tended to have that sort of effect on me.Finally, the door opened, and there she stood,

MAYI slowly opened my eyes, sensing the warmth of someone's breath over me. It smelt like mint. The toothpaste kind. When my vision cleared, I found Edmond leaning over me, a gleam of excitement in his eyes. It took me a moment to gather my senses and sit up.“Okay… What is going on?”"Good morning, sleepyhead," Edmond greeted, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. "I have a surprise for you."My sleep-fogged mind tried to catch up as I asked, "What is it?" Curiosity tinged my voice, wondering what could have him so excited. I grabbed my phone while I waited for his reply. One look at my lock screen and I had to ask. “You are late for work.”That is because I am not going.” he declared, "I want to take you shopping," There was eagerness in his voice. The kind a child whose family was going to Disneyland for the first time would have. "The opening of the Ivy estates is only a day away, and I couldn't help but notice that your wardrobe could use a little upgrade."My eyebrows shot u
