“Are you guys alright in there? This is the technical team, and we’re already in the process of fixing the power outage. Please remain calm, we’ll be finished shortly in ten to fifteen minutes.” The voice from the speakers built in the elevator broke the silence between both Mylene and Kenneth.
None of them gave a response, although, Kenneth kept his arms securely around the female in an attempt to calm her down. She did, a few minutes ago. It was around ten minutes before the intercom rang, but until then, Kenneth could wait.
He looked down on her frame, she was already quiet by that time. Not a sound leaving her throat although she was awake, just… quiet, for now.<
“You can go, I have a meeting in a few minutes. Think you can roam around without any companion?” Antony asked, checking his wrist watch before signaling for his assistant to prepare his vehicle of transport. Crystal gave a smile. “Yeah, I’ll be fine. Don’t worry about me.” She urged with a smile. It has been a few days and Antony has become quite busy at work, his turnover as CEO will commence soon, and things need to be done to prepare his father to pass over the position. Although, Antony isn’t really wary about the possibility of someone else snatching the position, as the position is already given onto him when he was still very young. To learn, study, and train for when he finally assumes the position. However,
The next day was as peaceful as it can be, Antony had to frequently go to work very early in the morning, as so much needs to be done. Most of his work was left undone, the reason of which was because he was too busy spending time with his own leisure and his fiancé to be bothered by that fact. But of course, as the soon-to-be CEO of VGC, he needs to take care of certain agendas, as his father is no longer attending to such tasks and responsibilities. Thus, the work of a CEO has already been given to him although it was not yet passed onto him. His own position as the General Manager was also resuming. He is still undergoing the procedures to pass the position to someone else fitting, the turnover procedure itself was being too complicated than it should be. In this procedure, Crystal was lef
The moon was high up in the sky, not a single basking light beam of the sun could be seen or sighted on. Unless you’re on the other side of the world, that is. The sky was cloudless, the sheer darkness blankets the sky that shadows the entire country in the soothing breeze of the night. The howling of dogs was heard, and hooting owls that guarded the neighborhood by the trees. Nocturnal creatures were scavenging, as the night was their world, the night was where they roam free. The night is when they drift to sleep, it is when people ceased from the lights of day, just to fall on their beds to gather strength to go for the next day. It was already midnight by then, the clocktower by the other side of the city chimed to
Now that the moon ceased to exist in the limelight of the night. The sun now rising, the clouds now appearing, the warm beams of the sunlight now basking the country in the natural warmth of the sun. Life is vast with various activities, where most adults would go to their areas of occupation, to work and strive for success, for a sustaining life, and sustain the needs of individuals, and of family. But for three particular ladies, they went somewhere, to another place, to another city. The city was not that far, around an hour’s worth travelling on car. They travelled together, going over the excuse of having fun in amusement parks in
Their little investigation had soon come to an end, most of which Mylene and Lylia had little to almost similar of what was shared with Crystal. Though, the extent of knowledge which Crystal has, it remains to be unknown on the side of both Mylene and Lylia. They all decided to go back, as Crystal told them that whatever information she’s trying to confirm, she already got it. They didn’t bother asking too much for more information, seeing as Crystal seemed deep in thought numerous times in various occasions. They rode the same vehicle back, the Valencia Household’s chauffeur being right on time as they drove back. The time shifting to late afternoon b
Their conversation was cut short due to a maid calling out for a reason. Antony bid farewell for a moment, just so he could talk with his mother, as the maid told him that his mother requested his presence. Crystal didn’t mind it and left the man to his own accord, wanting some minutes to herself, just so she could sort her thoughts before anything else happens. Perhaps, she’ll meet with Antony for dinner later, after his talk with his mother. It has been a while since Antony conversed with his mother, especially, in private. For any reason, it could be so serious that she needs to speak with him in person. It made Crystal think for a moment; c
Crystal’s hands were shaking, she dropped the book down, and the book landed with a thud on the carpet. Her eyes were nearly wide, her pupils dilated in shock. It was as if time stopped, and everything suddenly went blank. Not a single sound could be heard, she was literally blank. Her stomach churned, the burning sensation was getting stronger by the day, especially, when she is getting anxious and nervous. Could it be, a reaction of her body against the happenings and her own emotions impacting herself? Is this something else? She doesn’t know. It was pain driving, it was horrid. This truth that she discovered now; it was excruciatingly hard to believe. Does Cristopher
On the other side of the area, there stood Antony in all his glory, looking over at the full-length mirror, admiring his own reflection as he fastened his tie properly to match his suit. It was time he reveals to the world that he loves Carmilla, to announce her formally as someone whom he will soon wed and share vows with. He was excited, ecstatic even, he would want to just simply barge out of the room to meet with the girl once again. The girl he was going to marry, the girl whom he will spend his entire lifetime with. The girl who will finally make his life complete. He even grabbed a perfume bottle by the desk, the desk contained most of
