The grandsons and former secretary of Fantell Firm’s Chairman are sitting on the VVIP seat in the airplane. They are the only people occupying the space and there are more empty seats.Harriet feels happy that Cassius decided to go back with them. However, she is not comfortable at her position right now.She looked at Zion, who is sitting at her left side, and at Cassius, who is sitting at her right side and next to the plane window. The two men have long legs and wide shoulders, making Harriet feels so stuffy while sitting in between.‘There are so many empty seats around. Why do we have to sit right next to each other?’ Harriet asked this internally.Zion is gawking at the opposite direction, as well as Cassius who stared at nothing but only the close window of the plane. He does not want to open the window because from above, he can see the vast part of the ocean which he hates.The ocean is not the only thing that Cassius hates. It is so obvious that he is also not fond of being
Reese got scolded by the head maid. She got home so late after running an errand. Although she brought the berries that she had to buy from the supermarket, the head maid still got mad, saying that she’s being so irresponsible for her job. ‘I got into an accident after saving a man from the danger,’ Reese wanted to say this. But somehow, she cannot. She cannot seem to share the information about the rich man whom she saved a moment ago. Why? Because there’s someone who will benefit if the man’s identity was revealed. After getting scolded, Reese got back to her chambers together with the other maids of the mansion. “Hey, I heard you got scolded again,” May, the other maid, told Reese. Sitting in front of the mirror while brushing her hair, Reese stared at her co-workers who are laughing at her from behind. “This won’t happen if only you did not befriend miss Harriet,” Cris, the other maid, said her opinion. If a servant sided with Harriet, it’s likely means she will be the targ
“Why are you standing in front of the b*tch’s room like a thief?” asked Madell. Reese quickly bowed her head to give respect, and in order to butter her up. “G-Good evening young lady.” When she lifted her gaze, she saw Madell smirking at her. “I c-came here because Harriet asked me to check something in her room.” “Oh really? You two are really close, aren’t you?” When Madell stepped closer, Reese moved backward. “Which means, if I Harriet annoyed me, I can vent up my anger to you. Right? Because you are her friend.” Reese gulped hardly. ‘Madell will hit me. She will hit me,’ she thought. “I a-am Harriet’s friend but…” Pak! She could not continue her words because Madell slapped her cheek. The tingling sensation spread across her reddened cheek. Holding it, Reese looked at Madell in shocked silence as she is about to burst into tears. “Woah. This is refreshing,” Madell said before he grab a handful of Reese’s hair. “Ahhh!” Reese winced in pain. Madell dragged her to her fe
Harriet’s POV I woke up feeling a tingling pain in my neck. As I forced my heavy eyes opened, their dropped shut several times before the image of my surroundings went clear. ‘I am still inside the airplane.’ As far as I can remember, I am sitting on the seat between Cassius and Zion. Which means, if I fell asleep and found myself leaning my head onto my right sight, then I am leaning onto someone’s else shoulder and not by the window. ‘Who is it again?!’ Trying to regain my memory, Cassius’ image appeared inside my mind. ‘Oh my god. I am leaning to Cassius’ shoulder right now!’ Our present positions were almost the last that I could hope to happen. Grave embarrassment seized upon me, and the chill of shame made my head shut down above me like a pile of cloud. I felt the pounding of my heart, which wasn’t cause by being overwhelm but rather because of huge disgrace to myself. My brain is in the mess, like it sat on a chair without seat-belt and the roller coaster ride start
Sherly’s face lost its color the moment she heard that the first grandson of the chairman will return home. Worst, she heard it late at the day Cassius will return. The greedy madam of the household went on a run to meet her husband.“Is it true? That the kid will come?” she asked to Finn.With hands behind him, Finn stands by the window. He could not answer his wife, as he also could not believe if the news he heard is true.‘Cassius will come?’ he asked himself.Before Cassius went to New York, Sorren told Finn that there’s no way the kid will come back again. He would never forget that since it is also the time when his father treated him so coldly. As Cassius left their side, Sorren’s heart for Finn also went away.Finn doesn’t know why his father hated him so much, that he ‘s unable to inherit the power he’s seeking even after a long time. If Zion will be the next heir of the company, Finn will feel awful. What’s more if the chairman gave the position to his older brother’s son?
Zion, Cassius and Harriet have ceased their feet as soon as they saw Finn, Sherly and Madell waiting for them near the entrance. Sherly is wearing an angel mask to conceal her emotions for her unwanted nephew. Finn stared Cassius apathetically after greeting him, while Madell could not hide her astonishment towards her handsome cousin. She was so thunderstruck at Cassius’ beauty that Madell thinks she found the most gorgeous man in the world. Majority in this place shows great anticipation towards Cassius, except Finn, Sherly and Zion. But how about Cassius himself? His jet black her, tall nose, gray eyes, think lips, clenched jaw, and each particular hair of his skin, expressed intense disgust. Still, Cassius tried his best to maintain his expression as he stepped closer to Harriet. Heart pounded so hard. Just seeing the face of Finn and Sherly whom disgusted him so much, made him feel intense loathing. Now it is scarcely impossible to convey the extraordinary disgust which the
The panic attack that Cassius had a while ago stayed vividly in Harriet’s mind. It is the same reaction she saw when they got trapped under the collapsed building. Cassius did not see a large portion of water. So what made him panicked? ‘It is his own relatives,’ Harriet answered the mystery in her head. The reason why Cassius does not want to go home is because he despise the Fabroa family; the family Harriet vowed to take a revenge. Slowly, Harriet stared at the man who’s sitting beside her on the same bench. When Cassius calmed, they went to the mansion’s back garden stayed under the shade for a long time. Harriet dared not to speak. She knows that during at this moment, the best comfort that she can offer is her presence and not a bunch of good words. She looked around, watching the lovely sights of the the garden that are truly a view to behold. There is color everywhere – bright color, subtle color – pinks, reds, yellows, oranges, purples, greens. As the wind blew, the f
“Harriet!”Harriet and Cassius tilted their heads. They saw a woman approaching their side with an angelic smile on her innocent face.As soon as Harriet saw Reese, her hands around Cassius have tightened. Cassius felt the sudden rage. He looked at her hands and to Harriet’s sharp eyes which were fixed to the coming lady.“I didn’t know that you will go back home now!” Reese gasped then she deliberately stared alternately at Cassius and their hands. “But… who is this man you’re holding?”Harriet quickly let go of Cassius hand. She cannot let Reese create a malicious rumor about her and Cassius.“R-Reese,” Harriet murmured. “Where did you go from?”“Ohhh, w-well…” Reese scratched her nape awkwardly.She cannot let Harriet finds out that she planned on meeting her father. Not yet.‘I still cannot decide whether I’ll say the truth or not,’ Reese told to herself.Reese smiled at Harriet and changed the topic.“Hey! That is not important!”She grabbed Harriet’s hands and held it tightly. A
