"Can you please see me off to my place..."I pleaded,he stared at me for a while and opened his mouth to say something but got interrupted by Mr Hathaway's assistant."Sir Bruno ,you're needed here please".My face turned pale after I heard that.

**BEAUTY'S POV**"What ,what ,gosh am dead!"I woke up following that loud scream from Bruno,only to realize that I had slept off,while typing those documents.

He ignored me for a minute, i became worried.I tried again praying I don't upset him."Baby..."."why didn't you wake me ,the time you done typing?"he fumed without looking up at me,moving the documents to and fro.I could tell he was really mad by that sound in his voice,I can't do all this to be over.I was careless and he is right to be mad at me for it,I just hope the damages won't be much. "Baby...when you slept off, I wanted to you rest,you've really worked tirelessly and..need to ..."Really?...oh please don't sound stupid Beauty!"he snapped,his brows arched and his nose expanded a little bit,he bit his lower lips and continued work the files."Baby I only wanted ..

I drew my blanket up to cover my wet face.She sighed and touched my hand."Still mourning over your heartbreak?"I said nothing, I completely ignored her,my eyes were hurting from crying since yesterday and my heart won't stop aching,how can this happen,how on Earth did this happen,Beauty and father?Father ofcourse is a known flirt and womanizer but Beauty?how could she do this to me."The visitors will soon arrive you don't want them to see you,all sad and teary,man up and be strong"Grandma continued."Can I be alone for now please?find somewhere else and stay maybe go to Abigail,she is your grandchild too or find some of your old people,let me be please"I mumbled ,for the firs
