Semua Bab Why Can't I Be Yours?: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Hurriedly, I rushed to the bathroom, washed up then came out, I raced as I wiped my body. I picked up my uniform, fixed into my black-spotted white shirt then adjusted the zipper of my tightly-fit-straight-long black skirt before forcing my legs into the black flats by the corner. Then standing by my bed, I rolled my hair into a French bun that was too thick and heavy to be carried around, and since I've adapted to the style as I couldn't wear my hair in a ponytail or let it down like the others due to its massive length, I endured its disturbance on my neck. Before rushing out, I stuck my iPhone by the front, on my stomach and since my shirt was tucked into the skirt, my phone was tightly positioned with the bottom into my skirt and the top visible outside, on my shirt. I hurried out, headed for the kitchen and walking in, I was questioned by the head chef, Samson Woods's menacing scowl. "Sorry!" I apologized quickly as I didn't want to be queried so early. I had already taken a hea

I was in our room when Claudia rushed to me with tears in her eyes."This ain't good," she said and I looked at her in a confused manner before speaking. "What isn't and why are you like this?" I asked. "Marise called to inform me that Hannah's flight should have landed and yet she hasn't called. This time, I'm damned worried.""That shouldn't scare you. Maybe it's too late for her to call. She'd call tomorrow morning." I tried to console her."Let's assume you're correct, then why isn't she picking up her calls? I've been trying her for so long and yet I'm not getting any response," said Claudia in a husky tone and I felt sad for her. "Relax a little. Come tomorrow, you will realise that she's fine.""Wait! Have you asked her mother which aircraft she travelled by? It might give insight into why she hasn't called." I continued and then Claudia looked at me as though my statement made something spark. She rushed to her bed and grabbed her phone. "What are you doing?" I asked in a c

Time passed and it was 8:00 a.m. on a terrible Christmas Day. Veronica was all dressed up and she turned on the TV for updates on flight A245 MAX. "West Land aircraft which was reported to be missing was found this morning. The plane which was lost was found through an all-night search team led by US agents. The search was successful due to the help rendered by the Japanese agents and a host of others. It appears that the plane crashed in the North Pacific Ocean claiming hundreds of lives with no survivors. Military aircraft, naval vessels and the like flew over the area assumed to be the point where they lost contact with the plane and there, debris was found due to the explosion that followed after its fault." the anchor spoke and Veronica listened.Veronica was shocked by the news even though she knew that it was imminent. She stared at the TV and a scowl formed on her face. She hates media engagement and now, she can't believe her company got dragged and that more of it is comin

I was with Claudia who was still sad about everything. She has been crying for so long. Whenever she stops crying, she resumes again and continues that way till she's tired. There was no limit to her tears and she also cried while working although softly.I placed my hand on her shoulder as she refused to eat.I asked her earlier in the day more than once to eat after I prepared breakfast but she declined and I understood. But now, it's almost noon and yet she has refused to eat. I'm so surprised because the Claudia that I know doesn't joke with food. I'm sincerely not happy about her distaste for everything.If she continues like this, she might fall sick. Yesterday she skipped lunch because she was afraid and worried about Claudia's whereabouts so, she barely had supper.I had to beg her to eat and now I don't stand a chance of convincing her because she has sternly refused to eat. "Claudia!" I said and she turned to me."Don't you think you should inform Marise about the cras

I went to the kitchen to prepare sir Charles's meal. I tried my best to be as fast as possible.I had forgotten that I hadn't prepared something for him to eat after I persuaded him into accepting my proposal. I rushed and quickly made pasta since I had made roasted chicken earlier. "I'm sorry if I took long to make your food sir. I wasn't sure if you were coming back today." I apologized after placing the food before him. That was true because whenever sir Charles would be late, he would inform the mansion and his food would be prepared immediately.I saw the look on his face when I was coming from the kitchen and it told a lot so, I had to apologize since he doesn't like waiting for people. Charles didn't say a thing to Maureen since he knew that he always ate his food fresh and hot. That was reason enough for her to have not made his food and besides, she was quick with it. I went back to the kitchen and took a glass of water with me. When I came back sir Charles was eating and
