Taken Books นิยาย & เรื่องราว

"Waiter! Bring out everything expensive on the menu—Australian lobster, foie gras, bouillabaisse, black truffles—serve them all! "As for drinks? Beer? Are you kidding? We've got female colleagues here tonight. Open two bottles of '82 Lafite! And that Macallan M Black Decanter—bring us two, just to rinse our mouths!" The server hesitated, instinctively glancing toward me, who was standing quietly by the door. Leaning against the frame, I gave a blank nod. If he dared to order, we would dare to serve it. After all, I wouldn't be the one paying.

My body was betraying me and not allowing me to think straight. ‘Okay,’ I exhaled slowly, ‘so, we have books on this shelf here but also some in that box over there,’ I pointed to the box with a lid on it. ‘What book is it you’re looking for?’ Pacing over to a clipboard hanging on the side of the rustic bookshelf, I pulled it off its hook and scanned it briefly. It had a detailed list of all the books we had, even going into depth with details of any damage to the books. Everett ignored me and scanned the bookshelf, ‘Hmm…’

It smelt like flowers so I figured it would go good with strawberry. “Here. This must be it.” Cash said loudly causing me to look in his direction. I watched as he pulled out several small rolodexes of cards from a file box sitting in front of the desk. “These will tell you which shelf and which row each book is on. The cards include a brief detail on the book as well. Do not stay up too late, as we have plans tomorrow.” He said, not even looking at me as he left them on the desk and went to leave.

Relief washes over me. The girl looks at me. "A cat?" "A cat," I repeat. I sigh. "Go back to sleep." She shakes her head. "I can't believe you woke me up over a cat!" Then,suddenly, I hear the sound of twigs snapping. The girl looks at me with frightened eyes. In a blur, a wolf pack tears out of the undergrowth. There are more wolves than I can count. I am surrounded. The girl is wide eyed. My heart sinks.

"Can I get a look at the new arrivals?" "Of course," the lady nodded. "Right this way if you may ma'am." Najmah trailed behind her, gazing at various isles of books. They stopped by a counter which was marked 'New arrivals' boldly. She picked a few that caught her eyes then paid using her card. Promising to drrop by again when she had free time, she waved a goodbye at the lady then stepped out of the bookstore. Najmah picked a few books that caught her eyes then paid using her card. She said goodbye to the lady after promising to drop by when she had free time.

Slowly he removes his hand and James pushes away from the bar putting some distance between us. “Little Wolf,” I cut my eyes in his direction at his term of endearment, “What happened at the library?” I take a deep breath knowing that if my temper gets out of hand I could blow up the packhouse. “I was looking for these two books,” I take the paper out of my pocket and hand it to Andrew. “TON-YA, told me that I was not authorized to check them out and that I needed your permission.” Slipping off my pumps I toss them into the hall. “And she was really rude,” I realize tears are streaming down my face and I wipe them with the sleeve of my shirt.

I'm still surprised that she remembers me by my first name. She lets me pick the books that I want to, after we've returned the previous ones to their rightful places. When I'm done, she leads me back to her table, and make me sign on the record book once again, after re-writing my name, and the new date. Outside, I have three textbooks, all cramped to my chest. Damn, these are heavy even when they'd looked as though they would be light.

Since what year has this books be lying here. "We arranged for the community workers to get this done but according to the detention woman pardon me, for not knowing her name, I was told you guys messed up and refused to own up to your mistake, so here you are saving us some, bucks," she said looking at each of us back and forth. "Your work is pretty easy but can be tedious for the lazy ones. You dust the books on the shelf and arrange them into those containers and take the ones outside and arrange them onto the shelf. We are expecting new stocks tomorrow so you need to get this done now!" She said then leave… Tb.

Customers The phone pinged again as I focused on the pair before me, and I knew it must be Alexander but didn't look. "Do you have everything you need?" I asked them as they laid their books in front of me. The pile of books they laid down had to be about twenty, and I got to work immediately scanning and packing them. Midway, the door opened but I didn't lift my head just yet. I packed he last book handed it to the two right as the last girl handed me her own set of books, a boxed set of about twelve books. Wow.

“Who taught her? Obviously you’re hugging—” “We’re going to the basement now,” William said as he walked toward the basement. His hand still pulls Claire’s ear. Suddenly Tiara remembered two books that she borrowed from the library yesterday. She hasn’t read it yet. Then, the girl walked up the stairs and into the room. Her tiny hand grabbed two thick books from a wooden shelf and placed them on the study table. She turned on the reading light. Then Tiara took the first book. The book with a thickness of about ten centimeters has beautiful carvings on the outside. She began reading word for word on the first sheet of the book.
