Tess blinked her eyes thinking that she had heard her e=wrongly but when she repeated the words in her mind, she opened them widely and asked Elsie,What do you mean from what you just said?Elsie looked away feeling annoyed. Tess saw that she wasn’t ready to reply to her and so, she held Oswald’s hand and said to Elsie in a high tone,Is it that you don’t know or are pretending not to know? We will be getting engaged and there is nothing you can do about it.Elsie smiled at her ignorance. Aires and her were already done with their meal. They stood up as Tess was speaking. Because of her high tone, people turned to look at them, Oswald pulled Tess’s hand and said to her,Let’s sit down first, you are drawing attention to us.When Oswald and Tess sat down, they walked away after going to pay their bill. Oswald’s eyes followed them out of the restaurant before he looked in Tess’s way. He sighed and thought,I should be fast about this so, I can catch up to Elsie. If she is free now, I c
Elsie wanted to give an excuse of just passing by but she felt the shopping cart in her hold and she sighed and nodded towards him. They both turned to stroll around, Oswald felt that he should explain himself to Elsie and so, he contemplated on it. should he speak or not? But then, he heard himself saying to Elsie,I didn’t tell Tess about the engagement breakup.He stopped some way wanting Elsie to ask him the reason but she only nodded with the Oh sound coming from her lips.Oswald then continued in his thoughts,Because, I felt unhappy that you were with Aires, but I can’t tell you. Because you might ask me the reason behind and I won’t be able to answer you.Elsie just walked ahead looking around at the items and ignoring Oswald’s presence. He felt her distance, he sighed and then added,I will tell her and her parents tomorrow. I thought it was better that way.Elsie stilled in her steps, just then, she looked at him with a smile and then, she picked a random item and asked him,
Elsie shook her head and whispered,So full of himself. It’s not like you are God, one to nothing.She handed an ice cream to Oswald and he took it. as soon as he brought it to his lips, he saw the people around looking at him with smile on their faces. He looked at Elsie and saw her laughing at him as well, he wondered the reason their actions and so he asked Elsie,Why is everyone laughing at me?Elsie laughed and without thinking said to him,You look cute wearing a suit and having an ice cream in your hands. The contrast is just so-so.She took her phone from her bag and with him looking at her took a picture of him. Oswald was too stunned by her smile that he didn’t mind her taking a picture of him. When she was done, she looked at it and laughed out once more before sucking on the ice cream hungrily. Oswald watched her confused and asked,Did you not have enough to eat during lunch?Elsie shook her head and sucked more on it and said to him,Have a taste of the ice cream and you
His car stopped in front of the house, as he got down the car, he saw Tess and her parents waiting for her in front of the door to the house. Tess walked to his side with a smile on her face and welcomed him. They all went into the house and Megan offered them all a glass of wine but then, Oswald kept his aside without taking a sip of it.Tess saw this along with her parents, when she was about to talk about it, Megan eyed her to keep shut. Hubery finally spoke,Oswald, you are welcome to our place, please let us know the reason behind your visit.Oswald kept the document in his hand on the table in front of them and pushed it towards Hubery. They all watched him wondering the need of a file when they were about to talk about marriage but they kept their enquiry to themselves. Hubery took the file while asking,What is this …When he saw the contact in his hands, he looked up at Oswald and asked,Why are you giving me the contract now when it was discussed that it would be signed afte
Oswald walked into the company with a brighter face and some elegance. He hadn’t frowned and his shoulders were slightly matching his body and it wasn’t the usual lifted one that looked like it was ready to fight in any second. Rod saw him entering his office with this expression and he wondered if an angel had visited him. When Oswald entered his office, Rod joined him quickly but before he could ask the reason for the change in his expression. Oswald said to him changing into a work mode,Assemble all the files that needs to be taken care of today, we have a few hours to get them done. Take a chair and join my desk until we are done, no one is getting up.Rod squeezed his teeth and thought,Damn, I shouldn’t have rushed in here out of curiosity. I haven’t eased myself when I heard my stomach tumbling before.Oswald saw that Rod was still standing in place, he looked u from the file he was looking through and asked,Why are you still there? If I don’t finish, you will have to finish
Elsie’s heart was in her throat and her mind was in a scatter, she didn’t know what to think. Something was happening to her that she didn’t like. She was only planning to play around with Oswald, so where from those strange feelings? As she thought about this matter, she arrived at her apartment and made it towards her room. Because she was in her thoughts, she didn’t realize that there were two people standing by her door until,Are you blind or something? Are you trying to imply that you can’t see us or you are pretending?Elsie finally broke out her thoughts and looked at the person speaking, it was a young pretty lady but her expression contracted her pretty face. As she watched her, she heard another person say,I think she is out of her mind. Elsie Alfred, are you trying to mean that you don’t recognize your own sister and mother?Lily and Linda?Elsie sighed and shook her head trying to get her head straight. Lily looked at her confused and asked,What? You don’t recognize us?
She drove to the company and stopped in front of the building, before she parked her car, she saw a figure. It looked familiar to her, she parked and came out, the figure was clear enough,Tess? What is she doing here at this time of the day? Elsie thought.Elsie had gone to the Croft’s company to put finishing touches to the hotel project with Oswald. When she saw Tess, she thought she would be allowed inside but to her surprise, the security man had stopped her. When Tess saw Elsie coming her way, she rushed towards her and thought,If they know that I know her, maybe they would let both of us in, I should greet her.Good morning Elsie, are you here to see Oswald as well?Instead of a response, Elsie eyed her from her head to her toe and passed her by. Totally ignoring her, she walked to the security man and asked him,Do you know this lady?The security man nodded his and responded,I do, but her name isn’t on the appointment list, if I let her in, I believe I will be in trouble.T
Elsie arrived at the door to his office and saw that it was closed, she thought to herself, Should I wait here till the meeting is over? I should have stayed at the reception. She stood in front of the door and tilted her body thinking to use the door as support, but she found herself falling back. Her heart rushed in to her throat and her eyes opened widely as she thought that she was falling. But then, she quickly steadied herself from falling as she held onto the door frame. When she found herself safe, she sighed and looked around to see if someone had seen her. Thankfully, I am alone in the corridor, this would have very embarrassing. Elsie looked at the opened door and said to herself, I think he left the door opened so, I could come in and it became my falling trap. If only he informed me beforehand, I wouldn’t go through this. In any case, I will inform him not to leave his door open no matter what. She looked around the room and walked to the shelf when she saw the stor
