It is when I look at the clock on my phone when I come to find I woke up late the next morning.
Marie sits on my back and scratches my shoulders with her claws, telling me to wake up and feed her.
I stretch my arm to the back and pat her head, “Yes, yes, Master Marie… Your servant has risen.”
Even though Jamie is not around, I still work for his cat, don’t I? I can’t help but think, this is definitely a conspiracy Jamie and Marie plot against me.
Brilliant. Worthy of being the CEO’s cat, Marie.
After I get up and feed Marie, I put on the robe and sit down at the coffee table. I hold a cup of hot tea in one hand, and my p
As the dark paints the sky black, I arrive at the Grand Nouvelle Hotel, where Jamie is staying.As I know Jamie till now, he is a very punctual person. In order to impress him, I arrived fifteen minutes earlier than the time we agreed on.While I’m sitting inside this luxurious car waiting for him, I look into the rear mirror to ensure that the mole under the tail of my left eyebrow has been completely covered under the concealer I applied on it.I am perfect. We’ve been quite a long way down this road, yet Jamie never once suspected me to be Henrietta. If the mole stays hidden, nothing between Henry Nosrevi and Jamie will go wrong.Well, at least I believe so.
“Complicated?” I squint at him in doubt, I whisper, “Other than your brother nagging, is anyone in the family treating you badly?”Whereas Jamie suddenly chuckles, “No, it’s not like that.” he then explains, “As you might know, I am the youngest child in the family. My father, my brother, and even my stepmother, they always treat me like a baby, like a…”He pauses, touching his chin, searching through his brain for a word suitable to be used in the sentence.When he finally found one, he mentions, “Like a little princess.”A little princess?Princess?
After we have the dinner, I send Jamie back to the Grand Nouvelle Hotel where he stays. I drive the car around the huge fountain and stop in front of the main entrance.I get out of the car and come to his side, I open the door for him, “We’re here.”Jamie steps out of the car, “Thank you for the night.” with a smile he said. He then turns around and starts to walk.However, before he has gone too far away to reach, I hold his arm and slightly pull him back from behind.“Wait, Jamie.”“Yes?” with his eyes widened, he turns back to me.There, I p
Monday morning, after we had our last breakfast in Coney Island, Daniella, Marie and I finally returned to Chicago.Although I’m in Henrietta’s costume, being an actual man, I feel responsible to escort Daniella home. Hence, Marie and I follow Daniella home from the airport.As soon as we arrive at her place, Daniella unlocks her door with her key.I am curious about the place the girl I have a crush on lives in. I wanted to take a slight glance of her apartment unit from the door, but I realized I was a step away from becoming a stalker, so I stopped.As I ain’t going to peek at her house, I guess I should go now. The girl has safely arrived at her place after all, my job here is done.
I gave Victor a call the first thing when I got back to my penthouse.Just that night right after he finishes his work, he shows up at my door.“Henry Baby! Welcome back!”He throws himself towards me and gives me a big warm hug as soon as I open the door. Next, he picks up some boxes from the floor and shows them to me.“Look what I’ve brought you!” he said, with his eyebrows wiggling.The boxes are in different sizes. There is a big rectangular box in his right hand, and a small square box in his left hand.Oh, this is easy! We’ve been through this before
The next day back in Chicago, I woke up early because I am returning to work today.Yet before I head to Minerva, as usual I drop by at Juicy Punch to get a cup of fruit juice. I ordered a cup of Citrus-lime juice this time.After a few days on leave, Juicy Punch’s regular customers are so happy to see Daniella back. They greet her like they welcome their children home.This is amazing. She is just lovable, isn’t she? Everyone adores her so much, but not as much as I do.Can’t blame me for falling in love with her, can you? She is just the brightest, kindest, loveliest girl I’ve ever met in my life.¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
The sound of water splashing in the basin echoes across the bathroom, it is when I just washed off the hand gel when my phone suddenly chimes.I quickly turn the faucet off and wipe my hands on my skirt. I pick my phone up and unlock it, and that is when I see Henry Nosrevi’s number receive a message from Jamie.I tap on the notification and open the message.A photo first came into my sight, it is a photo of one of the cufflinks on Jamie’s sleeve. In the message he says, “I love them very much. Thank you, Henry.”The Two Cats… They are just the most perfect gift for Jamie, aren’t they?I didn’t realize I was smili
Before my voice fades, I’ve fallen on my back. The back of my head hits on the floor, tinnitus rings in my head, my vision turns black for quite a moment.When the black veil eventually disperses, sharp white lights gradually return to my sight again. I squint my eyes as I try to adapt my sight to the lights once more.However, just as my vision recovers, two faces print into my glance, upside down.I squint harder at the face closest to me, trying to tell who this bastard that made me fall is——blonde short hair, thick eyebrows, blue eyes, thin lips, short full beard, cold expression, and he is dressed in a classic black suit with a burgundy tie…Wait, isn’t he...
