Giselle blinked cursorily as she stared at the man in front in a state of slight panic.“M-Mr. Heinrich.”“Why do you look so surprised, Giselle?” Ezra asked, tilting his head to the side and studying her facial expression.Giselle gulped and stepped back. Even though he wasn’t touching her, his presence still made her feel uneasy. Ezra stepped forward, following her each step she took, until her back pressed against the wall.There was nowhere else for her to go and as she watched the male in front of her inch closer, her heart began to once again thump in her ears.Ezra placed his hand beside her head, trapping her against the wall. His eyes then gravitated down her body, lingering on her well defined neckline, for seconds before scanning the dress she chose to wear.It was one of the numerous dresses he had filled her walk-in-closet with and he was more than delighted seeing it on her body.A deep sea green spaghetti hand gown, that stopped above her knees and had a deep V neckline
Giselle didn’t move or budge from where she stood, her eyes stayed trained on the figure stepping out of the elevator.Life had a funny way of rubbing her failures right in her face.Ethan had been adjusting his suit when he stepped at, flinching back as he saw Giselle standing in front.“Giselle-”Ethan begun but Giselle interrupted him, glaring at him in the deadliest way she possibly could.“Why are you here?”Ethan cleared his throat and squared his shoulders. He was well aware of the chances of running into Giselle at Dano’s accounting firm, after all, he knew she had worked there for two years. But after hearing a new CEO was going to be inaugurated and he being in desperate need of huge support for his new project, Ethan decided to go.“I have business to take care of here.”Giselle scrunched up her face in disbelief.No one ever told her she was going to be working in the same place as a common traitor.She would rather resign than work in a company where he’d place any future
“Get out.” Ezra facilely said as he stared menacingly at the male in front.Ethan’s lips hung open like a dislocated doll’s mouth.Ezra Heinrich. That was the last person he had expected to become the new CEO.Ethan began sweating bullets. The moment he stepped into the CEO’s office, he could see all his future investments crashing before his eyes.“But Mr. Heinrich-” Ethan began, not getting far with his words as Ezra raised his palm to silence him.“What I fail to understand, is why you’re here, standing in my office, and spilling crap like a toddler.” Ezra intertwined his fingers, hardening his gaze. “I warned you didn’t I? Both times.”“Both time?” Ethan inquired, tilting his head in confusion.“It’s bold of you to even think of standing in my presence after uttering such words to my Fiancée. Weren’t you warned?”Ethan gulped, letting out a breathy chuckle. “But Mr. Heinrich, Giselle and I were just having a light chat.” He lied.Ezra rolled his eyes. Same excuse twice in a row.W
Giselle sat with her back against the door.The world hated her existence, it was official. As soon as she spotted the darkening clouds and heard the sound of the clouds pouring their overfilled hearts out, Giselle came to that conclusion.Another roar of light danced through the skies and Giselle yelped. Her childhood trauma for rainy days kicked in and the brunette hugged herself, trying her best to calm her trembling body.But the cause of her trembles were undetermined.Giselle hadn’t spent more than two hour being locked in the washroom when she noticed how the temperature had dropped abnormally. She had brushed it off and tried pulling on her sleeves for warmth, only to remember she was wearing one of the dresses Ezra had filled her walk-in-closet with.“Curse you Ezra.” She had muttered out and felt another round of shivers ripple through her body and then the clouds had decided to play therapist session, letting out all the liquid they could no longer contain.Another crackle
Ezra stood by the door watching Vincent do his check-up on Giselle.His firm body was rested against the door frame, eyes following every movement of Vincent’s.For the third time, the family doctor sighed as he stuffed a thermometer into his medical kit.“It’s just a flu.” He stated as he stood up. “Thankfully, it isn’t serious.” Placing two sachets of cold relief drug on the night stand, he turned to the brunette at the door. “Don’t forget to change the wet cloth occasionally and please get her into something more comfortable.” Vincent instructed.Ezra nodded his head and straightened his body from the door frame. “I understand.”“And for the pills, make sure she takes one in the morning and another at night. Gentle food, don’t flood her digestive system with spicy or hard to process foods, she doesn’t need all those and-”“Vincent, I’m not a kid, I know what to do.” Ezra deadpanned.“You certainly aren’t.” He grabbed his kit and stood up, walking in front of Ezra. “Be responsible a
Giselle was woken up by the chirping sounds of birds and a busy atmosphere downstairs.When her eyes came open, she realized that the room she is in was completely different from hers. The setup and all looked way more luxurious than hers.‘Who’s room is this?’ She pondered, slowly getting of the bouncy mattress.A wave of disorientation hit the brunette, making her sit back on the bed. Her memories seemed foggy, but she could vaguely pick out a few that stood out.She remember feeling lightheaded while sitting in the washroom, then Ezra finding her, which she way still curious about how he did so, and then her almost fainting, lastly, Ezra swooping her into his arms.Everything after that was fogged up, but if she wasn’t mistaking, something else had happened after that. She had the hunch that something she couldn’t remember happened.‘Forget it. Must not be important.’ She thought to herself and slowly stood up this time.Steadily, she began heading for the door but stopped when she
Raquel’s eyes nearly budged out of their sockets when she opened the door and saw Giselle, but soon after, her cold and mean expression was back in place.The brunette on the other hand, quickly shoved her hand into her pocket and took two steps back.“You.” Raquel hissed like the snake she is. “What are you doing here?”Giselle rolled her eyes.‘Why does she always have to be dramatic.’“Last I checked, you don’t own this place, so don’t ask me such a ridiculous question.” Giselle sassed with a smile.Raquel scoffed and folded her arm, taking a step forward. “I can’t believe you’ve gone as low as stalking me.”‘Huh?’ Giselle closed her eyes and shook her head. ‘What type of a self obsessed witch is she?’“Giselle.”The called girl peeled her eyes open, looking in the direction of the voice.Nicholas stood behind Raquel, nervously fiddling with his sleeves.“Hi doctor Nick.” Giselle cheerfully greeted, watching as some of the nervousness slipped away from his face due to her friendly
The next day, Giselle was woken up by her alarm. She barely finished getting ready when her second alarm went off.As she rushed downstairs, trying to silence her phone, the brunette ran face first into Ezra’s chest.Once again, curse her stupid height.“Ouch.” She gently soothed her nose, wondering why Ezra’s chest had to be so sturdy. “Good morning, Mr. Heinrich.”“Morning.” Ezra responded in a rough voice. His tone sounded dry and forced.Giselle tilted her head to the side, only now noticing the dark circles under his eyes and his tired looking face.“Are you okay? Is everything okay?” She quizzed.“I’m fine?” Ezra said and coughed.“It doesn’t look like-”“If you stand here talking all day, we’re gonna miss the meeting today.” Ezra informed, purposely interrupting her from further asking anymore questions.“Ah.” Giselle pouted, she could tell that Ezra didn’t want to talk about his health. “Yeah, let’s go.”Ezra and Giselle rode in the same car. The female brunette once again sat
