View MoreWhile driving me back home, Adam looked surreal. I thought to myself what a day I have had today, full of surprises. Yesterday I didn’t know this person, today I am sitting in his car beside him. I would have never thought that I would also see Sebastian today. The trauma he brings along for me is not something I am looking for. The way he talked to me today after the meeting, those words that he will keep an eye on me still made me feel heaviness in my heart. Adam’s voice broke my trance. He said ‘Miss Beatrix, are you ok?’ I replied ‘Yes I am ok, I am sorry I got lost in my thoughts, it has been an eventful day’ ‘It is just the beginning Beasty’ he leaned towards me and opened the glove box, retreating Chocolate M&Ms. ‘Here you go, your favourites’ he smiled and gave me the chocolate pack. Oh my, they are my favourite, how does he know. Thousands of thoughts circled my head. We reached home, I didn’t even tell him the way, I was very confused and a bit uncomfortable as
I turned around and looked at him with confusion. I said ‘ Look Adam I am not sure what is going on, first you called me Beasty today after the meeting, which I don’t remember anyone ever calling me by that name and now you are saying you know about how I dreamed of having a place like this, what is going on. I am sorry but I am not someone you know or have known before’ He smiled and said ‘don’t worry about it, lets start what we are here for’ He pulled my chair for me like a gentleman. ‘So the first thing you need to do is sit with my team and talk about your vision of the place we have decided to use for the hotel’ he said. ‘My vision, how?’ I said. ‘ just how you imagined the hotel to be when you pitched the idea of building it in that abandoned block of land near the lake, just in simple words and my team will transform it into official designs. You will definitely have to approve the designs when they are made. We will go forward with the design you approve. You will
Sitting in my garden with a book in my hand, for the first time I was not able to put my mind into it. My brain kept replaying the day’s happenings over and over again. Sebastian’s odd behaviour, Adam’s mistaking me for someone else, the Hotel Project, me being a part of this big project all of these thoughts were not ready to leave my mind soon. I was so engrossed that I lost the sense of time, when my doorbell rang thats when I got back to my senses and looked at my watch, it was exactly 7 pm. I ran towards the door and saw Adam’s assistant standing there, he said “ I am here to pick you up Miss Beatrix. I completely forgot about this, I said I am so so sorry. Give me 5 minutes and I will be ready. I took a light greenish dress out and slid into it as quickly as possible, for hair I had a messy pony and my white heels. I came out and sat in a Rolls Royce, for the first time. I saw a damn Rolls Royce in our town for the first time. It made me feel uncomfortable. I wanted to get
I came out of the conference room a bit flustered and confused. Uncle Peter came out and held my hand saying he is proud of me and is so glad that he took me along to the meeting. The Mayor came out and gave me a nod of appreciation and left. I started walking towards my cafe completely engrossed in my own thoughts about everything that just happened. As I was walking through the resort’s garden towards the main gate, a car came from behind and stopped close to me in the driveway. Adam stepped out of the car and came towards me, I took a few steps back. He looked as elegant and handsome as a Greek God. I thought to myself the pictures on the internet don’t do him justice. I pulled myself out of these thoughts and scolded myself within for even looking at him. I asked how can I help you, he replied “you already did. I got the project and your town got the best future possible. Don’t forget that the deal is on only if you be a part of it. So I will send my assistant to pick you up
Sebastian presented a plan to construct a complete new structure to build a five star hotel just near the resort and in process plain a few forested areas and he also proposed to buy the resort fromUncle Peter. I could see the stress on Uncle Peter’s face. I couldn’t hold myself and said “so this is how you want to ruin the town and its natural beauty, this is where you were born..did you even think about it twice. There are so many other ways” Sebastian stopped me there and smirked, “so you want to say that you have better ideas, I don’t remember you being a part of the presentation team” Mayor got up and said all the questions and concerns will be discussed at the end, the presentations shouldn’t stop. I agreed. It was Adam’s turn now, one of his assistant got up to start the presentation when Adam stopped him and said pointing towards me I want to hear this young lady’s ideas first. ‘She is not presenting the deals for today Mr Glass’ said the Mayor. Adam replied ‘
Uncle Peter told me something that made my legs go numb. The meeting that was about to happen was to discuss the future launch of a Five star hotel in our town. Uncle Peter was to join the meeting and be a part of this discussion as the representative along with our Mayor Mr Paterson. He was worried that the future of his resort was in danger and so was the nature and landscape of our town. He wanted me to accompany him as his companion to represent his side of the things in the meeting. He was scared because two Billionaires were going to be there to represent their plans and our Mayor would select the best one. To my Surprise Sebastian was one of them and the other one was someone called Adam Glass. I am not sure about one thing if they are so called Billionaires why are they so interested in our little town, why not big cities. I googled Adam Glass and photos of him at different events showed up, he was tall, fit with brownish, blackish hair. He looked smart and arrogant i
As the media took over, and girls came rushing towards him it gave me enough excuse to get inside my cafe. I didn’t want to spend a single second of my time thinking about Sebastian anymore, but as you know curiosity takes over even the best of the minds, and my feeble mind was no exception. I couldn’t help but think about why the media was so interested in him, why the girls were flocking around him not that I care, but I was just curious. I am always so busy with my cafe, I don’t even use social media, even my cafe’s social media marketing is handled by my staff and friend Nina. She is amazing at it. Nina an amazing girl, so beautiful and charismatic was not from WillowRidge, she came here as a tourist and fell in love with this town. She moved here took various jobs until she joined my cafe full time. She is a trustworthy friend. The little time I get with myself I like being cozy in my garden reading a book and loosing myself into the world of imagination. So I had no
Sebastian’s girlfriend Tanya pushed me out of the way and sat on the couch that we had reserved for our group. All of them started devouring through our snacks and milkshakes that we had ordered. Sebastian started to play and when Jake and Freddy tried to talk them out of this by telling them it was a birthday celebration they just laughed. When the waitress brought in the cake with my name on it Sebastian just looked at me and said nothing. Tanya saw this and picked the cake up and smashed it on my dress. It was a chaos. I couldn’t take it anymore and ran to the wash room. As I was crying and trying to clean up my dress that my Dad had bought for me Tanya came in and said “Remember this as a lesson for looking at my boyfriend, next time it won’t be the dress” I replied that I wasn’t interested in looking at him either so she had nothing to worry about. This somehow triggered her and she got me by my hair and pushed me towards the sink area and hit my head. She punched me hard i
SEBASTIAN HUXLEY, Was I really looking at him after so many years. He is the person who has given me both my best and worst memories. So to just give you a gist of who he is let me tell you a small summary of it. Sebastian Huxley was born and brought up here in this town just like me. He belonged to the richest family of our town ‘The Huxley Family’ He used to live with his mum and Dad and had no siblings. Uncle Richard and Aunty Leila were both very nice and kind people. They used to be an integral part of every event and celebration in our town of WillowRidge. Every Weekend we used to have a get together at the community hall, everyone looked forward to it, it was full of games, food, laughter, gossip. We children used to have our own play area and we had lots of fun too. I have known Sebastian since I can remember. We connected as of we had known each other from ages. He was three years older than me. I was 4 and he was 7 when I have my first memory of him playing wi
I could hear the rain outside, I didn’t want to wake up this morning. It was such a relaxed morning. I could see the dark clouds outside my bedroom window, rain drops were pattering on the window glass. The rhythmic sound of the rain was making me more sleepy. I lived in a one bedroom house that I bought with my hard earned money last year. It’s not big but it’s cozy, it is home. It looks like a cabin and I have my own beautiful yard which I have planted with different beautiful flowers, it’s my favourite place to read a book and have a coffee. I am Beatrix by the way, people who know me call me Bea. I am 26 years old and was born and brought up in this town of WillowRidge.
