Back at the mansion Ayden helped Eryna walk into the garden where the gardener was planting twigs. Eryna narrowed her eyes and looked at the twig from far away trying to figure out which specie they belonged to, but soon gave up because she was unable to see it properly.
Eryna stepped on the soft grass with her bare feet and slowly walked closer to the twigs that were to be placed in the soil.
“What is this?” Eryna crouched beside one of the pots and stared at it with a stupid expression.
“Miss, this Myrtle tree, it is very beautiful once it grows up,” the gardener replied in excitement.
“Myrtle tree… never heard of that one…” Eryna pondered for a few seconds a
Inside the mansion, in the lounge two ladies giggled at something, Ayden walked in leisurely through the front door with his hands tucked into his trousers pocket. Emerald looked into his direction and her expression changed.“What took you so long? We have been waiting for you for forever,” She spoke with a hint of anger.“Nothing! I got a call from a friend, I was talking to him,” Ayden walked in closer and sat beside his mother.“So what were you talking about?” He asked.“Why should we tell you that? It’s our secret girly talk.” Eryna spoke with a smug face.“Ah! It hurts,” Ayden held his heart in a dramatic way and started acting.“Hahaha!! Then let me help ease your pain,” Emerald patted his shoulder and spoke.
Ryker arrived at the mansion and the family sat around the dining table. Everything about the moment felt like a huge mistake, Emerald was staring at Ayden who was stealing his gaze from Ryker, Micah and Eryna who sat opposite to each other by the table had something they were uncomfortable about.Nobody spoke, just some awkward sounds of a spoon lightly touching the plates were heard.‘This is so suffocating! Why is nobody speaking?’ Eryna took the spoon to her mouth as she waited for someone to break the ice.‘Sigh! I will have to say something or I will die sitting here in the midst of this awkward family,” Eryna breathed in and picked up the soup pot and placed it before Ryker.“You should try this, I made it my
“Sniff,sniff,sniff.” Eryna’s nose caught something while she was asleep that caused her to wake up. She slowly opened her eyelids and stared at the unfamiliar ceiling with daze.“Oh! I forgot I was not in my room,’ Eryna stretched her hands and pulled up her body from the bed, and yawned a bit. Her arms were widely stretched when she realised that she was not supposed to be on the bed.“Gasp!” Eryna retreated her hands and looked at the other side of the bed, that’s was empty.“Huh? Why am I here?” Eryna glanced at the couch and saw the blanket she was rolled into yesterday night on the couch, it was alReady folded properly and placed on the side.Knock-knock…
‘Clap-clap“Everybody! Can I have your attention, please?” A tall lady spoke in a loud clear voice.The workers sitting in their cabins slowly popped their heads out and looked at the woman with respect.“Okay! This is Renya,” she pointed towards Eryna who stood a feet away from her.“She is the new intern, Would you like to introduce yourself?” She asked Eryna who was not looking so good, her complexion was pale.“No-I am good,” she shrugged her shoulders.“Okay, so this is your cabin and be sure to get along with your seniors,” she gave a warm smile and walked away. The workers seemed least intereste
Eryna sat by the dining table holding a spoon while staring at the file before her. It had been three hours now that she had returned from the office but she hadn’t even started it yet.“What is this? What language is this? Kill me please! Somebody!!”Eryna wailed and her stomach churned making her feel like her organs were getting entangled together,“Haha!! What happened?” Ayden walked in on her and dragged the chair beside her and sat up on it.“This happened!” Eryna pointed at the file as if it was something poisonous.“Hmm—what is that?” Ayden picked it up and read through the lines with a serious face, Eryna too felt curious at what he was r
Eryna had slept very peacefully at night, she woke up in a great mood forgetting everything about the work she had to do, She dressed up and like yesterday Micah had left for work early in the morning. The driver drove her to the office. She walked into the enormous building and past the reception. Eryna quickened her pace to get to the elevator and got inside right in time.She was surprised to see that Zukey was standing there holding onto a bunch of boxes that looked really heavy.“Good morning, Renya!” Zukey spoke with a cheerful voice.“Good morning to you as well but what’s up with the boxes?” She gave her a hand by taking two of the boxes from the stack.“These are the deliveries for our department. I am supposed to take t
Eryna decided to leave, she stepped away from the crowd and walked back to her cabin, where Zukey was already sitting Scribbling over a piece of paper.“You are back! How did it go? Did the director scold you?” She asked.“Scold? Why would I get scolded? He was just here to talk, and it went well.” Eryna sat beside her and picked up the file that wasn't there before.“What is this?” Eryna asked.“Oh! The team leader gave everyone work. That’s your part of the work.” She replied.“Okay!!” Eryna scratched her forehead as she knitted her eyebrows.‘I can’t take help from Ayden again, he too has to manage hi
Eryna pushed Hunter against the wall and she closed the door of the stair room behind her.“Explain!” Eryna asked in a serious tone as she looked up at his face because he was very tall, her hand was on the wall trapping Hunter inside it,Hunter breathed in deeply and pulled her by her waist and pushed her against the wall and looked down at Eryna.“You explain first! How come did you turn into Renya after coming back to the country?” He asked,“It’s a long story,” Eryna’s face formed into a frown and she loosened her stiff body, all her guards were down as she stared at Hunter.“I have time,” Hunter retreated.
