FAZER LOGINSuddenly, the solution seemed almost obvious as if walking from the front itself. It looked like a miracle. The conference room door opened.Everyone turned their head toward him. Charlie Brown stepped inside. A smile lingered on Elara's face now. How fortunate was God's timing? When it closed all doors, there is still one window opened, which means when life tests you with obstacles, it still gives you enough patience to get through that.He looked dashing like always and seemed to come just from his office. A folder rested beneath one arm while his car keys dangled loosely from his hand. He seems to be in a hurry. He had been busy lately because of office work. He had come to pick up Lily like his usual routine. He texted and called Lily, but when she didn't answer, he came inside because already he was late and had no time to wait. And nothing more.Yet even his arrival shifted the room slightly. Everyone felt his presence. He had that charm to attract everyone towards him. Se
It been three weeks before the Winter Gala, the committee room looked as though it had survived a small disaster. All preparations were going smoothly back then when suddenly everything started disorganizing. Some Papers covered every inch of the long conference table. The empty coffee cups sat abandoned beside laptops. The colored sticky notes decorated the whiteboard in desperate patterns denoting all the deadlines, scheduling and important timelines. Half-completed seating charts were pinned to walls.Everyone looked tired.Even the teachers.The excitement that had filled the first few meetings had completely disappeared. Now there were only deadlines.And unfortunately, deadlines seemed to be multiplying.Elara sat quietly near the center of the room with a sponsorship folder open in front of her. A pencil rested between her fingers as she reviewed confirmation documents one final time.Around her, students worked through various responsibilities.Some discussed guest invitatio
The Tuesday morning at the school were usually predictable. The hallways were chaotic with the noises of students while they were walking in lines. It was the assembly day before classes start. For them, it was the most boring day of the week because no one liked hearing the principal, but it was a ritual needed to be performed. Nothing felt unusual about this morning too. It was just like another Tuesday morning at school. Noone suggested it would become one of the rare days Elara would remember long afterward. A special day for her. She sat beside Suzanne in the auditorium while the principal prepared for the weekly assembly. Around them, other students started chatting their own while some others payed attention. Elara was paying attention while Suzzane certainly wasn't. She was busy in her own thoughts. Suzzane popped her chin against her palm and, stared toward the stage with the expression of someone enduring a personal tragedy.“If he starts talking about attendance percen
His eyes shifted instantly toward her hand. “You’re bleeding.”The room paused for a moment. Elara looked startled before quickly hiding her finger behind the fabric. “It’s nothing.” she always had this habit of not troubling people much. But Charlie had already reached toward the nearby table and, grabbing a folded tissue before walking closer to her. “Here.”The simple gesture stunned her for a second. She didn't expect him to react like it before everyone. Elara looked at the tissue in his hand shockingly before quietly taking it.“Thank you," she uttered lowering her gaze to the wound. Charlie’s gaze lingered briefly on the tiny blood stain against her fingertip when she was rubbing the soft tissue around it. “It’s deep?”“No,” she answered softly. “I’m okay.”She didn't want to trouble him much. He was noticing her alot these days. After their vivid encounters, he was surprisingly acting little friendly to her, asking about her health and other things. She didn't want to m
Elara finally entered the dining room after several minutes and, instantly their conversation softened for a second simply because they noticed some movement.Lily sat beside Charlie already, glowing beneath the chandelier lights while Fiona spoke warmly to her about university plans and future charity events. While Charlie was looking between his mom and Lily. Then suddenly, Charlie looked up. His eyes intense just contrary to his brooding face. His face pale as always, but his eyes had some magnetic force pulling her to him. And then their eyes met briefly for a second. And immediately—Elara’s heartbeat lost rhythm. Her heart forget to beat and she forgot to breathe. She felt suffocated just by a look. She looked away first as always. Because if look could kill, he would possess the ability to do that. She tried to take long breathe and calm down. “There you are,” Fiona said politely with a gentle smile. “I was beginning to think you disappeared.”Elara forced a small smile. “
This was just one special evening. The Hughes residence was decorated beautifully as it was hosting one family dinner. Basically, it was one of Victoria’s tatric to bring families more closer so that they can bring future opportunities for both, Lily and Charlie to be together. A cozy sitting arrangement was made where the silver chandelier shimmered mildly above the marble floors while on the other side an instrumental music surrounded the mansion, mixing with the little conversations of them. Staff moved elegantly through the hallways preparing dinner while Victoria Hughes personally supervised every detail like she always did. Tonight wasn’t a major event but still very special. A private dinner between the Hughes and Brown families.But for Victoria, it needs to be perfect.
