~Two Days Later~Giselle was siting down in the garden. Her eyes were fixed on a multicolored butterfly perched on one of the lilac flowers, while she held a simple first aid kit in her hand.The beautiful scenery was calming and she felt fulfilled, at the same time, empty.After that day, news traveled fast. Ethan got arrested, same with Raquel. Giselle’s father got transferred into a different hospital, where he was now receiving better treatment. The misconduct of Dorven was exposed and the ministry of health and welfare closed down the hospital.As for Giselle, Ezra had given her two off work, which she highly appreciated. But the brunette himself was extremely busy, which left Giselle with no time to see him.That bothered her for some reason.Sighing, Giselle placed down the kit and flipped it open. She rummaged through its contents for a second before pulling out a small tub healing ointment.She pressed her lips into a thin line as she squeezed a small amount onto her fingers
Giselle stayed outside for a while longer until the clouds began to darken before she went inside.On entering inside, Ezra was nowhere to be seen. Giselle didn’t think twice about it and plopped down into one of the couches. Grabbing the remote, she tuned in to one of her favorite Teen-toon on YouTube. As she was currently feeling stressed, the brunette had a notion of always watching something light instead of watching some of her favorite series.Angel’s Friend, it wasn’t like some of the recent Teen-toons that had no head nor tail. The show had a way of making the twenty-three year old sing along to its opening theme and stay invested even after she had binge watched the whole two seasons which had a total number of a hundred and four episodes.Half way into her current episode, Giselle felt her stomach cry for food. Not bothering to object, she stood up and went straight to the kitchen.After she had ransacked a few ingredients together, the brunette began preparing herself a hot
In a second, Emerald’s facial expression went from anger to the neutral face of a perfect role model.“Miss Heinrich, forgive my rude manners. I was in such a rush that I accidentally bumped into your shoulder.” She placed out her hand and with a dazzling smile, she introduced herself once more. “My name’s Emerald Stone. Hope I can make a better impression next time.”Giselle looked down at her waiting hand, and instead of shaking it, she picked up a drink and took a sip from it, keeping her gaze locked with Emerald’s ocean green orbs as she did so.“I’m glad you acknowledged your rude mannerism, you should take some time out of society and work on them,” She paused and walked to stand beside Ezra, wrapping her hands around his arm and laying her head on his shoulder. “So that when next we meet, you’d make a better impression.”Emerald gritted her teeth and searched Giselle’s unwavering eyes. She didn’t want to create a scene and from the looks of things; she had no reason to further
Giselle almost panicked. She was sure that Emerald had seen through their act.But how?Emerald bore her deep green eyes into Giselle’s light ones. “I’ve seen girls like you. I know you’re only with Ezra for his money.” She growled.‘Ezra?’ Giselle arched one of her brows. But she was highly relieved. It looked like the lady standing before her, in fact knew nothing about her and Ezra’s relationship.Straightening up her shoulders, Giselle spoke. “Miss Stone, I think you’ve misunderstood me. I’m not with Ezra for his money. I’m not that shallow.” She scanned her from head to toe and smiled. “And I’ll appreciate it if you called addressed my Fiancé properly.” She placed great emphasis on the word ‘my Fiancé.’Emerald suddenly stepped close and Giselle instinctively took a step of hers back. She had learnt more than enough from Raquel.“Don’t fret.” Emerald uttered, smirking at the way she thought Giselle feared her presence. Delusional. “I don’t mean any harm, I just want to have a con
Ezra held Giselle close to his chest the whole ride back. The brunette didn’t complain. She quietly stayed in his embrace, enjoying the warm feeling his damp body was giving off.At first she tried to oppose to her body enjoying his embrace, but as she laid her head on Ezra chest and listened to the light rhythm of his heart, she completely melted into his hold.The journey back was shorter but by the time they arrived, Giselle had dozed of in Ezra’s arm.Stepping out, Ezra gently picked her up in bridal style and went into the mansion. He climbed up the stairs and stopped in between the rooms, slightly hesitating, he pushed open the door to his room and stepped in.Giselle stirred a little bit as he placed her in a siting position, putting one hand behind her neck to support her body, while the other one undid the zipper of her dress.He carefully slipped it of, placing her body back on the bed as she mumbled incoherent words. Getting her into a new set of cloths wasn’t as hard as hi
‘Two weeks my ass.’ Giselle thought as she ignored Eva, who was currently stepping into the elevator.The blonde reached out and pressed their floor.“Aren’t you happy to see me back?” Eva sneered as she glared.Giselle ignored her and tapped her feet, waiting for the elevator to arrive on their floor.Eva clicked her tongue and shook her head. “After breaking my nose and getting me suspended, the least you can say is hello, when you see me.”‘You deserved all those.’ Giselle roamed her eyes around the elevator as she thought.“I heard you’ve been acting all high and mighty as of late. Congratulations on being a bitch.”“Don’t you ever shut up?” Giselle finally breaks and sends a cold glared at Eva, the latter squeeze her eyes and steps forward.Just when she was about to say something, the elevator dinged open and Giselle walked out without a second look at Eva.‘Saved by the bell.’Giselle didn’t give a shit about what Eva wanted to say and walked to her workspace. The atmosphere se
Around lunch break, Giselle brought Evelyn to one of her Favorite restaurants. Euphoric Gardens.It was a common restaurant for the residents that lived around that part of town.Just like the name; Euphoric Gardens had a relaxing smell and atmosphere to it.Evelyn admired the place in awe, taking in its quiet yet beautiful surroundings.“Beautiful, isn’t it?” Giselle said as she lead Evelyn to the last seat in the furthest corner of the restaurant.Evelyn nodded her head in response. “It’s beautiful. How’d you find it?”“I was hungry and stumbled across it. A friend and I had gone adventuring into the unknown.” Giselle explained.Evelyn couldn’t help and sniffle a laugh, which made Giselle smile.“Let’s order.” Giselle passed the extra menu towards Evelyn and peeled hers open, dragging her finger through the list of foods.“It’s your treat, right?” Evelyn briefly glanced up from the menu as she asked.Giselle chuckled. “Yes, it is.”The noirette couldn’t be more happier and picked he
“What is it?” Giselle inquired.“Simple.” Evelyn raised her index finger. “Promise to eat lunch with me. Here.”“Is… is that all?” Giselle asked, bewildered.“Yes. Were you expecting some ridiculous demand?”“I uh, I just expected… nothing, forget it. And uhm, sure? I’ll eat with you at lunch. Here.”Evelyn’s eyes lit up as she pushed her food out of the way and grabbed Giselle’s hand. The brunette’s eyes widened in surprise.“What… what are you doing.”“I have a feeling that we’re going to get along well.” She genuinely smiled and Giselle felt the warmth in Evelyn’s eyes spread into her body through their connected hands.Nodding her head, Giselle answered with a soft smile of her own. “Yeah, I hope so.”***************Evelyn and Giselle stepped off the cab, in front of the company’s building. They had made it back from their lunch break with time to spare.Evelyn looked up at the building and sighed, already feeling the weight of work hanging on her shoulder.Giselle paid the cab a
