“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
The consequences of her words finally dawning on her, Giselle went beet red and instantly let go of Ezra’s sleeves. Although, what she had done was naturally meant to sadden the brunette, it did not, and a ghostly smile grazed his lips.The action had Giselle’s heart beating more than it already was. She could feel her insides heating up, not only her face this time around, and before it was too late, she rushed pass him, muttering an audible “goodnight” as she raced to her room.Ezra stood still for a moment, the smile on his lip gradually increased by each second until it had stretched over his whole lips, exposing his clean white teeth for the first time in years.As he turned around to head to his room, his smile suddenly dropped as he remembered Gregory’s words.‘His sister was going to hear about this, huh?’ His jaws clenched at the thought of the particular female and his eyes diverted towards the woven bracelet on his wrist.Even though they had not been in contact for years,
The next day, Giselle woke up feeling sore all over. She hadn’t done anything to strenuous the previous day, so she failed to understand why she felt so weighed down.‘Probably the stress from last night’s party.’ She tried convincing herself as she attempted to step out of bed, only to collapse back once her surroundings dazed and her body felt stiff.The weight on her eye lids increased, almost as if it was a sign from the heavens for her to stay in bed.Not bothering to fight against it, the brunette let out a muffled cough and allowed her eye lids close, feeling them rejoice as pressure slowly left them.After staying in bed for a couple of minutes, and thinking, the brunette narrowed it down to one thing; her usual Fall seasonal sickness.It was like a norms for the petit brunette to fall Ill for a couple of days, at least, it was a normal occurrence for she and her father.Giselle wasn’t sure when it started, but she realized, after falling ill on the days her father wanted to t
