As the sun began rising, the birds in the sky chirped in unison into their melodic choir. The clouds were plump and fluffy in the bright blues hue of the sky. And the breeze of morning swept across leaves and trees until they reached the window which is open agape, allowing the breeze to slip past the cottony silk of scarlet drapes of the curtains. The sun’s warm and bright beams entered, seeping through the drapes of then the breeze passes by, and landing on the sleeping figure of a woman dressed in a zesty yellow night dress.
The beams flashed onto her closed lashes; her elegant figure shifted in slight discomfort. Eventually, her eyes fluttered open, her lashes like feathers of a swan.

It was quiet, really quiet. Only their echoing footsteps in the halls were audible, the tapping and clinking of their heels were the only sound that they can hear, breathing can also be heard. Crystal kept quiet as she followed the tall man in front of her, the man was silent and his poise perfectly straight. After breakfast earlier, Angelica asked Crystal to send over a document to someone which she was supposed to meet but didn’t have the time to do so. Of course, she accepted the task, since it would not look good if she is already putting on airs through the means of declining simple requests.
The rest of the journey was undoubtedly quiet, not a sound to be emitted aside from the sound that the vehicle emits, the occasional honking of vehicle horns and the busy roads of the city. Crystal kept her eyes by the window, her eyes lightly gazing over at every single detail that could pass her peripheral vision. It was with a bit of difficulty, especially when the man’s stoic expression was visible in the window’s reflecting tint. The man not seemingly to be bothered by anything at all. His eyes were focused up front, as if watching the man driving in front, eyeing his every move. Crystal could feel pity for the chauffeur, for she could see the tensed structure that the man shows as his fingers were clutching the steering wheel in a cautious yet tensed manner. The expression of Anton
The waiter arrived and handed them each with a copy of the menu, the waiter himself was deeply careful as to not commit any mistake under the hawk-like gaze of the man near him. He has long heard about the man’s reputation, including his mercilessness in the business circle. He is sure that the man is not someone he should bother, nor annoy to begin with. To bother the man or commit any distasteful act in front of him is but a dire fault that can never be erased. It took some time but after their orders were taken down note of, the waiter took a bow and hurriedly rushed off to do whatever he is ought to do in terms of handling their order. Crystal straightened her posture. “I’m not worth
The tension became heavier as more and more people stopped their lively chattering and meals to watch the scene unfold. Crystal found it hard to act right now that they are in the center of attention. She just didn’t expect that this Gina girl would lose her temper so easily with a little provocation. Hell, Crystal’s words were only very much lenient and minor to begin with. It seems that this woman’s temper is one of the main reasons why Antony was alright with being left by her. If Crystal were to be a man, she would dare not get close to a war freak of a woman like this one. It just makes her question even more on how and why did she even become Antony’s ex-girlfriend in the past? Jus
Crystal was finished in her dessert as the conversation ended, Antony stood and didn’t bother to say a word of farewell to the other two people in the table. Rather, he simply took Crystal’s hand and made some sort of gesture for her to follow as he led her out the area, past the crowd of waiters and waitresses whom were sensible enough to step aside and make way for the couple to leave. Crystal expected this, so, she stayed quiet and allowed the man to take her wherever he pleases to. She no longer questioned since she herself would want to get out of this situation as much as possible as well. It was greatly unnerving and uncomfortable to sit in the table, trying to ignore the vying eyes of anger that the other woman endlessly showcased in the entire time.
The couple waited for a couple of moments, and to Crystal’s utter surprise, a vehicle was parked on the sidewalk, right in front of both Antony and Crystal. The vehicle was a maroon Lamborghini, and it looked as if it was custom designed just for the owner of the vehicle, as the style and design was elegant that it somewhat looks different to the usual vehicles that she encounters on a daily basis when walking on the sidewalk. The chauffeur got out of the vehicle in the front seat and bowed in gesture of respect to the two. “I have brought your vehicle, Young Master.” He spoke in a respectful tone, his head still lowered. Antony gestured for the chauffeur to get back on his usual stance. “Good, you ca
The ride was long and quiet, Crystal didn’t know how long they’ve been this silent, but it was really a pin drop silence. The vehicle’s engine was growling, the vibrations sent by the vehicle in a steady motion was evident. The noise of that engine was the only thing that was currently audible. Crystal was still stuck in her own little world, however. The thoughts that she previously had, has come back flushing right before her eyes like a hurricane of memories. It was vivid and vague; she could barely keep her focus on one thought without shifting immediately to another. She bit her lip, thinking of what other possibilities that could occur which she had not thought about yet.
Once again, silence took over. The low grumbling of the engine was once again, the only thing that is audible in the silent ride. After that talk, none of them refused to talk anymore. Then again, they have nothing to talk about, why bother? The buildings that once towered over them with their enormous height and stature now faded into low greenery, trees of various shades and kinds now met with their eyes as the once busy roads where many people walked on, now gone. They are approaching the hi-way, the road became clearer now that the hassle of a traffic had ceased. The sky was a light shade of blue with the sun hiding behind the clouds. It was arou
