Third Person’s POV One thing that Cassius won’t ever do is to eat meals with other people. When he was studying, he avoided eating in cafeteria and he always brought his own lunch.Eating with many people makes him sick, to the point that he can imagine the germ spreading out on the table. Yet, he ate pizza in Zion’s condo at ease. That is because he had Harriet with him. He expected that his illness won’t attack as long as Harriet is by his side. Nonetheless, getting an invitation from Astell made him worry.If he was invited to eat dinner with many people, he mulled if he can endure it. Still, he accepted the invitation and went to the Wyatt’s mansion.To his surprise, the worry did not last long. Cassius felt a sense of comfort as soon as he entered the wide mansion. He couldn’t understand why. It is not because of the exterior or the interior of the place. Something is in it that calm him down even when there are many people around him.‘Is it because Harriet and his father are
Harriet’s POV It is courtesy to tour your lover inside you room once he formally visited the house and with parents’ consent. However, I did not bring Cassius inside my room out of courtesy but to interrogate him instead. “What? You are going to work in Fantell?” I asked. Cassius, who entered my new room for the first time, looked around. He appears as if he did not even hear me. ‘This guy… really.’ “Cassius.” When I called his name, at last he looked into my eyes. “Working in the Fantell, that’s dangerous,” I said with my utmost sincerity. He can’t even stay with the place with Finn and Sherly. What’s more in working in the company? ‘Seriously, what did make him think impulsively?’ Cassius did not reply anything and just instead stared at me. He’s someone who gets mad if I did not share my plan. But look at him, doing the same. He always keeps his thoughts inside his mind. ‘Crazy bastard.’ Speaking of crazy bastard, I recalled how the hell he called me before. “And wh
Third Person’s POV The dinner ended. While Harriet is with Cassius and Zion inside her room, Sorren and Astell are in Astell's office.Teas were served and the two enjoyed the warm and flowery drink."This tastes so good," Sorren complimented."It is a tea that I brought from Japan when I had my business trip. If you want, I can send you a box," Astell offered.The old man chuckled on his seat as he placed his teacup on the saucer."It is already an honor to be invited for a dinner. I would like to decline receiving the tea but this is so good. I am ashamed, it leave me no choice but to accept it. Thank you so much.""My pleasure. It will be more good to be honest, don't you think so?"Faint and joyful laughter filled the office. Soon when they faded, the two looked each other. They took deep breath in unison. "If I will be more honest, I would tell you that I am still embarrass to face you after all the incident," Sorren said, recalling the incident when Harriet was poisoned due to
Zion can barely count the times he went inside his father’s room. Ever since he was young, he felt Finn’s hostility towards him. Finn never once held his hand, called him affectionately or stared at him with love. However, the young Zion who was thirst from his father’s love, once tried to approach him. He went inside the room of his father in order to greet him ‘Good morning.’ But as soon as the trembling little child came in, Finn ogled at him with disgust. “Father,” the scared child called. Finn gave him the coldest stare ever, then said, “It always makes me shudders when you call me that.” Zion realized that time that there won’t be a day he can get his father’s affection. He gave up. There was a moment when Zion took DNA test in secret, to know whether he’s really the son of Finn. Not to his surprise, Finn is really his father. Time passed by. As his heart grew farther and farther away from his family, Zion learned to live without expecting anything from them. He litera
Marie was so anxious as she moved around inside her new room in the Wyatt’s mansion. “I clearly saw her in front of sir Astell’s office,” Marie murmured. She started biting her nails as she wondered why Reese was lurking around master of the house’ office. “I was so far so I didn’t hear anything. Damn it,” she sighed. Either way, Marie wanted to report this to Harriet. It felt like she had to share the information, especially after seeing the satisfied look in Reese’ face before she walked away from the office. But the problem is that Marie could not find Harriet at all. It’s not been that long since the guests of the mansion have left. Still, she couldn’t find even a shadow of the lady. ‘Just where is she?’ At the moment, Harriet is with Cassius at the back garden of the mansion. They went there and saw the colors of the flowers that have faded under the moonlight. Now, they look shadows swing left to right. If there is sunlight, they will stand out more to bring riot of co
Cassius will work as junior architectural designer in the Fantell Architectural Firm. It is a position way too lower than Zion’s position as the senior manager. This work is for non-licensed architect who just graduated from school and eventually will groom and train as senior architectural designers. The task is to to work under the supervision of the Senior designer, focus on the design components of the project which may include interior design as well, attend meetings and report directly to the head of the team.In short words, it is a low position for newbie non-licensed architect.Indeed, his position holds no threats against Zion. However, when Finn and Sherly heard this news for the first time, they were blew out of the water!‘How?!’ ‘Why?’ ‘When?’ They were filled with countless questions on how the chairman persuaded his first grandson to work, when Cassius can’t even set a foot inside the Fabroa mansion. In addition to that, Finn also heard that Cassius will start work
Cassius stood in front of the company building. Wearing blue matched suits, black necktie and shiny black leather shoes, he looked at the giant building where he will start working as architect.As he stands there, he sensed the glimpses around by the employees who might or might have not recognized him as the first grandson of the Chairman. Yet, Cassius refused to make eye contact with anyone. His eyes focused at the building and the entrance of it, and then he felt the burning sensation in his throat.Until now, his body is still weak against socializing in crowded place. Moreover, learning how to associate with his co-workers.‘But I chose this for her,’ Cassius sighed inwardly.He thought of the reason why he suddenly decided of working in a place that he despises.Groping the bottle medicine inside his suit’ pocket for a second, Cassius traversed forward the entrance of the company. As he walked alone without guards or anyone with him, the employees of the company followed his tr
If Cassius’ first task is to meet Zion in work, then Harriet’s task today as Astell’s daughter is to buy everything she needs. Her father brought Harriet and Reese to the mall that Astell owns. Today, they had to buy dress, jewelries, shoes, bags… anything they want, they can get it. This is what Harriet said when she knows she does not need to continue saving her own money as she will be instantly rich once she became Astell’s daughter. Yet, she couldn’t bring herself to feel excited. “Look at this! Sister, this bag is so good!” Reese exclaimed while pointing the bag. Harriet stared at her stepsister who seems enjoying shopping with their father’s money. Reese looks happier than ever, maybe with the thoughts that she hit a jackpot by becoming Astell’s adopted daughter. Either way, Harriet concluded that Reese isn’t just happy that she can buy anything, but because of last night. Gawking at Reese, Harriet recalled her conversation with Marie this early morning: “What? You saw Re
