A misunderstanding that she caused. One that was probably gonna bring more distance between them, even though she didn’t know what it was.Even though distance was she wanted, in order to avoid what could no longer be avoided.‘No.’Giselle turned around and walked back into the office. Both Ezra and Jubril were surprised to see her.“Giselle, I’m busy right now…” before he could finish, Giselle turned to Jubril and commanded.“Jubril, get out.”The assistant didn’t have the energy to protest and gently placed down his clip board and went for the door, properly closing it as he exited.“What is the meaning of this?” Ezra asked as he forehead creased with a frown.Stepping closer to his table, Giselle folded her arms. “I should be the one asking that? You’re obviously pissed at something I did, Ezra, so what is it?”The determination in her eyes shone as she stood her ground.“It’s nothing you did, Giselle.” He confessed with a sigh.Indeed, he was speaking the truth. From his perspect
“What do you mean she escaped?” Ezra demanded as he gripped onto the handle of his chair.Escaping from a mental institution was something Ezra never phantoms Raquel would do, but now she was out there, running wild and doing only God knows what. Ezra didn’t even want to have the slightest thought.“I’m sorry Sir.” Jubril apologized with his head bowed. He truly felt incompetent, whereas it had nothing to do with his competency.“I see no reason why you should apologize. You’re not at fault, apologizing would only make it seem like you’re excessively self-blaming.” Ezra said and sighed. “I’ll assume you haven’t told Giselle about this?”The noirette shook his head. He only just got the news, and Ezra was the first person he was relaying it too. “No.” He firmly answered.“Leave it that way.” Ezra instructed and randomly added. “Place some people to look over Giselle, don’t let her notice. Don’t make it too obvious.” He said and waved Jubril off. “Do your job right this time around.”On
“Oh God.” Evelyn moaned as she placed another flavorful shrimp in her mouth. Her taste buds were once again assaulted by the unexpected mix of flavors. Her words alone couldn’t describe how delicious the meal was.“This is so good.” She said, complimenting the food yet again. Giselle watched with a smile on her face.She enjoyed watching Evelyn have a taste of different food and when she gave off her different reactions. It was a peaceful pace compared to Giselle’s always hyper life.“It’s that good.” Giselle placed a shrimp in her mouth as she saw Evelyn nod her head.“I can never get used to its taste.” Evelyn chuckled at her mouthful. “Speaking of which,” briefly pausing, she wiped her mouth with a table napkin. “are you aware of the rumors going round?”Giselle raised her brow up in confusion. “Rumors? What about?”Evelyn hesitated to speak, she didn’t want her friend to hear such rumors, but if not from her, she was eventually going to hear it from somewhere else.“You’re having
“Miss Heinrich, it’s a pleasure to meet you. Welcome to my boutique.” The elderly looking woman, who Giselle assumed is Madam Rong, greeted with a humble bow.Politely smiling, The brunette stepped forward. “Hello, you must be Madam Rong. It’s a pleasure to meet you too.”Madam Rong smiled at her modest greeting. “We’ve prepared outfits based on the photo Young master Heinrich sent. Please try them on and pick the one that’s to your liking.”"It that so. Well then i'll leave myself in your care." Giselle said and softly bowed her head before glancing at the dress hanger in front. The number and variety of dresses surprised her. But at first glance, the dress that caught her eyes was a lilac colored evening long sleeve gown.She stepped forward and pulled on the sleeves of the dress. The material felt like chiffon."Have you seen any that catches your eyes?" Madam Rong asked as she stood beside Giselle, arms folded in front of her chest. "Ahh, I see the YnanLi caught your fancy. Would
Giselle stepped out of the car with Ezra by her side. She was dolled up and looking all pretty. One third of every person that passed by had to turn their head to stare.Not only was Giselle feeling awkward from all the looks she was getting, Ezra was also getting pissed.Every man’s eye seemed to be on his woman. He didn’t like that.Giselle and Ezra walked into the event building, hands intertwined with each others.The party was being held in a high class event center which had a terrance view overlooking the sparking blue sea.Giselle admired the interior decoration as Ezra guided her towards their seat. She felt her phone vibrate from inside her mini purse reached for it.It was a message from Evelyn. She had been wondering where the brunette disappeared to.Giselle smiled and was about to write a reply when she felt Ezra gently tug on her arm, indicating that she’d better focus rather than using her phone.Giselle understood this and quickly pushed her phone back into the purse
“Mr. Heinrich.” Emerald appeared in front of Ezra and Giselle’s table out of nowhere.Her sudden appearance broke Giselle out of her trans like state and she adjusted away from Ezra. Seeing this, the brunette’s lower lip curved into a frown.As Ezra turned to fix his gaze on the white haired lady in front, she shivered at the amount of hostility his gaze was giving off.Giselle on the other hand, felt something inside her tick, the moment she laid eyes on Emerald.It wasn’t disdain or anger, rather, it was something far from that.Fear.Giselle involuntarily shivered as she remembered the night back at Vincent’s party, to be precise, the time she had fallen into the swimming pool.At first, when Giselle had felt her body tip backwards, she tried fighting gravity, flaying her arms in an attempt to steady her balance, but obviously that was all in vain, and when freezing cold water rushed into her lungs, the brunette knew she had made the wrong choice of following Emerald out to ‘talk’
Giselle was surprised to see Gregory dressed in a formal outfit.Black long coat, brown turtle neck and a pair of tight work pants.His work clothes did him no justice, for his beauty almost rivaled that of Ezra’s.Almost, that was the key word. But in Giselle’s eyes, Ezra looked better, no matter what he wore, on second thought, Ezra looked better in anyone’s eyes no matter what he wore.Emerald turned her head around and upon seeing Gregory, a scowl etched onto her face.“Your father would not condone such an attitude, fix it at once.” Gregory demanded. The serious look on his face was far different than the usual always bubbly ex boss that Giselle knew.Ezra had a sour taste in his mouth upon the noirette’s arrival. His expectancy of Gregory attending this party had dropped drastically after he heard that the Fishers had gotten into some uninvited trouble.But yet, here he was. It was as if he were doing everything in his power to tick Ezra off.And it was working.Turning to the c
Ezra went about the rest of the party uninterested. The expression on his face mirrored that of a high schooler who was forced to go on a family vacation that they were highly against.Giselle noticed this, but however, she never really got the chance to hold a conversation with Ezra. The first reason being the incident that had happened before Emerald suddenly interrupted them and the second being because she was surprisingly thrown into a crowd of talkative women.Their conversations held little meaning and was of no interest to Giselle, so she paid little attention to it, constantly glancing back to check on Ezra, who was also at the center of his group of aristocrats.Not long after, Ezra gave his speech and moved out, Giselle literally had to speed walk in other to catch up to his pace as he approached the car.“Hey.” The Brunette called out as they stepped into the comfort of their home. She hadn’t started any conversation during the ride back home due to the aura he was giving
