“You are going to have dinner with Gabrièl Pinot tonight?” Emir drew a breath and directed his stare at Elena as they finished having tea time in patio. His stare aired the room with some judgmental blowing up about his thought at her, he looked up and down to gaze at the dress she wore. “Linda,” he voiced up, called Linda. Linda came in a hurry, her rushing steps thudded the floor with her heels. “Anything could I do, Mr. Emir?” She was likely assigned to work as Elena’s personal assistant. Emir sighed, looked at Elena and then, returned back at Linda. “Send her to my boutique, ask Carla to make over her for dinner event. She’s going to have a dinner with some people of fashion industry.” He rubbed his forehead and swayed his hand to point at Elena. “She can’t be miserable with that dress to come for dinner.” He sounded anxious as he looked at Linda. The woman was standing next to his chair. “I can’t see that.” He frowned and rose from the seat, walking into the house.
Elena parked the car at the basement. She was waiting for Edward come out from his Maserati car. Just some minutes then, she saw him, bringing with him a leathered case for his gadget. Elena sighed. ‘He looks so fresh and gorgeous.’ She put a strong grip on the car’s steer. Her eyes kept following him from his car to the private accessed elevator. She found a lady opened the elevator door for him. She thought the lady could be Edward’s secretary. The door of elevator began sliding off, she could see Edward give his bag to the lady and he took some files the lady brought for him. They seemed talking to each other, Edward’s face started seriously listening to the lady. She inhaled and grabbed the coffee glass. She took some sips. She got her gadget ringing. ‘Dad is calling…’ she wiped her nose, turned down the volume of the music. “Hey, you have missed up your breakfast.” Dad told her and the sound of clashing of cutlery aired as the background. “I got something to do
Elena came out from the restaurant as she was surprised to see Brandon.He was standing by her car. Elena squeezed her eyes and looked around.He was talking with a police officer. They were examining the car she drove.She scurried her steps to approach.“What happened?” She looked at Brandon and he also stared at her. She assumed the man had followed her to guard her. Dad sent him since she was suspected being followed and stalked by a man for some reasons.‘How come I didn’t sense someone following me while I was following Edward…?! Incredible.’ She was rubbing her head, standing next to him and glaring at the man with curious mind.“We caught somebody was trying to hurt you.” Brandon sighed and replied as he rubbernecked at her. “Are you okay?” He asked curiously and attentively.Elena gasped at him and nodded fast move. “Tell me, what’s going on?”Brandon sighed, he grabbed something from his jacket pocket. He pulled out a small thing and showed it to Elena. It looked l
Elena found her dad was taking a seat behind a set of sofa with soft ivory leathered color. The lightning inside the room came clear but not too bright, with a big screen from each room camera and entrance access next to Emir’s working desk. She was amazed the lightning coming in more natural way, through the open space separate with some big window glasses. There were some lampshades made from wooden materials.Emir was sitting on a swiveled chair and monitoring the big screen. He asked Elena and Brandon to seat themselves on the sofa.“Brandon said you have been stalked.” Emir opened the conversation and made eyes at her. She nodded, rose from the seat. She sneaked behind his chair to take a look at the monitor.She grinned after seeing it. Emir stared at her before he changed his gaze at Brandon.He saw the young man look being mystified. Brandon uncomfortably watched the two of them, he probably thought Emir was talking something private to her. “Thank you, Brandon
Johnny Sly gazed at her.“What you find out?”Elena sighed and looked away. “I think he now is getting closer with a model.”The café they met up in its front patio for enjoying the coffee break was so shady with some interior plants.He stirred up his tea. “Not Emma Smithson?”Elena shook her head. “Nope.”Johnny squinted his eyes as he sipped the drink. She gazed at him and rested her two hands on the table. Her hands were clenched into one as she talked. “Belinda Jay.” “Belinda Jay? Gabrièl’s model?” Elena nodded.Johnny smirked. “Are they working together for promotion?”Their conversation stopped, Elena rose from her seat.“Emma?” she greeted at the young woman walking past her table and Johnny.Emma Smithson put a big smile as she turned around and saw Elena was standing behind.“Elena?” She widened her big eyes. She approached Elena and gave her warm hug.“I just stop by to grab a cup of coffee.”She looked at Johnny. Elena introduced him. “What a coinciden
“Hey, thanks.” Emma closed the car’s door as she got out from it.“Would you come in?” She turned around and saw a woman opened the front door of the mansion.Elena stroked her hair into her ear. She gazed at the woman standing by the front door then back to make her eyes at Emma. She shook her head. “Perhaps, next time.”Emma beamed as Elena drove back the car to the house’s front gate and waved at her.The green landscape of suburban with big trees slowly disappeared and the scene of dusty, crowded street became the scenery, in a way Elena drove to go back to Emir’s house.Elena found her gadget echoing and Dad’s call coming into her earbuds. “Yes Dad?”She heard her daddy sighed. “Where are you?”“I am going home.”Again, she heard him inhaled. “Brandon saw your car has been followed. I think he’s the same man that Brandon caught by eyes a couple days ago. Could you go out and exit from the route you’re taking now?” Emir sounded so anxious and he knew his daughter coul
Jane Dovey sat with her legs crossed. Elena admired the lines of beauty on the woman’s face and the shape she kept for ages, she matured like old wine.‘She was deserved to be well-known as an iconic model. Even Johnny kept her pose picture in his room.’ Elena sucked an amount of breath.“I called your mom, Helen Rouge, at the senior hospital as they said she had been moved from the hospital.” Jane started her story. She rested one arm on the arm chair and the other one was rested on her lap. She wriggled the fingers.“Then, I came to your friend’s working place…I forgot her name…” she squinted her eyes as she recalled.“Ashley?” Elena squeezed one eye.Jane nodded. “Yes, Ashley.” She turned her head at Elena. “She said you’ve not showed up in campus for almost two weeks as you got accident.” She paused. She made her eyes at her daughter, from hair to toe before she exhaled. “Nothing serious happened to you don’t you?”Mom curled her forehead. “Did you get an accident? Why I d
Gabrièl Pinot saw Belinda Jay entering the room. He was resting on the bed with his shirt half unbuttoned. He let her cleaning herself in the bathroom.After some minutes, he saw the woman coming out from the bathroom and she was wearing a night dress rob. She was wrapped by a lingerie one of the company’s products as Gabrièl asked her to wear.Gabrièl poured the wine he grabbed on the table beside the bed. He handed one glass to her.She beamed and was taking a seat by the bed. Her legs were crossed and wrapped by black net stockings. She took a sip with a glare to him behind the glass rim.“You have had him already?” Gabrièl caressed her cheek with his thumb. He sipped his wine and then, staring at her. He pressed his thumb while he was wiping her lips away from the wine stains. He licked his thumb after that, with a lipstick from her lips stained on.She was biting her lower lip. “We just had a lunch time.” Gabrièl smirked, took the glass from her hand. He put back their gla
