WHOM?
“What about east wing arrangements?” Christian looked at one of the staff, and the man immediately gave an assuring smile, “I've cross-checked again and again sir, everything is perfect…”Christian hummed quietly checking around, “Well, the drinks… Did you make sure non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks are placed separately for the guests to choose comfortably without any confusion?” “Yes sir,” the man nodded softly, “I even arranged two people to look after that area.” “You can go now,” Christian said gently, “but make sure none of the guests should be leaving unsatisfied or troubled, be careful and alert all the time.”The man left immediately with a smile, as he had never seen someone as young as Christian to be this attentive and responsible unlike some adults who doesn't even care to check for once after handovering the work to other staff.The grand ballroom shimmered under a cascade of golden light. Chandeliers hung like captured stars, the scent of various flowers and polishe
DON'T YOU THINK SO?
"You got it already?" Ezra’s voice cracked through the silence like a startled bird. "Di... Did you really get it from her?" Christian blinked at him, holding the amulet in his hand which he got from Aurora. The moonlight touching its surface, reflecting a faint blue shimmer that almost felt alive."Yes," Christian said simply, only to get questioned by Ezra, "by any chance did you steal it from her?" Christian crossing his arms sighed looking at Ezra, "why would I even do that? Am I appearing like a thief to you?""You're desperate for that amulet," Ezra smirked, "so, stealing it from her won't be impossible for you.... If not, did you threaten her? They're the only possibilities I can see at this moment!" Rolling his eyes, Christian had said, "my dear Ezra, neither I stolen, nor I threatened her, just I requested for that amulet, and she gave it, that's how it happened." "That’s it?" Ezra raised an eyebrow, floating a little closer, the edges of his figure blurring into the nig
I'LL BE WAITING THEN
"This man is mysterious for sure!" Christian sighed looking in the direction in which Adrian has left.The sound of Adrian’s footsteps had barely faded when Aurora slipped back into the cafeteria, her phone pressed to her ear and a mild annoyance drawn across her delicate features. Christian sat where he was, fingers lightly brushing the rim of his coffee cup, lost in thoughts that tangled deeper than he’d admit."Sorry," Aurora smiled, ending the call and slipping her phone into her bag. "Work never leaves me alone, they behave as if they can't breathe for five minutes without me." Christian smiled back faintly. "Seems like you’re more popular than I think...." "I wish it was just popularity for me to enjoy," she muttered, sitting opposite him again. "It’s more like torture disguised as responsibility, sometimes I feel like running away from all these just to have a peaceful life but it's hard because once habituated to luxury, we can't escape from that luxury trap!" He chuckled
ARE YOU LEAVING ALREADY?
"Hide and seek?" Christian laughed playfully keeping the cup aside, "When it comes to her, it's more like life and death, that's how dangerous it is!"Adrian leaned back in the chair with an amusement, "aren't you a strange young man compared to others of your age?" "Why?" Christian scratched his head innocently, "How am I different from others? I think I'm perfectly normal..." Adrian shook his head, while the cheeky smile flashing at his face, "I've seen so many but none are like you, because there's no way anyone would compare a woman in the way you did!" "You don't know anything about her, that's why you're talking like this," Christian said calmly with a sigh, "if you were to know what I've experienced, there's no way you would be making fun of me." Crossing his arms, Adrian chuckled, "If so, please enlighten me!" Christian sat quietly for a minute, the air seemed to go still between them.After a beat, he finally spoke in a lower tone. "She’s… not the same as she appears," h
WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY AGE?
"I don't understand," Christian muttered under his breath, his brows knitting as he tried to process Adrian’s words. The cafeteria’s hum faded into the background, leaving only the soft clinking of cups and the distant whisper of conversation.Just then, Aurora’s phone began to ring, glancing at the screen, she frowned slightly, and said, "I need to take this call, you both go on with your conversation I'll be back in a minute," before stepping away from the table.The moment she disappeared around the corner, Adrian leaned back in his chair, his eyes sharp yet oddly calm. "I never expected the heir of the Sargent family to be this naïve," he said quietly. "Our families have a great history from the past, knowing that, I expected you to be the same as your family members, how on earth you're totally a different species born in that family?" Christian froze in shock immediately, his heartbeat increased violently in his chest. "What… what did you just say? Ho... How did you know that?
ARE YOU HERE TO TAKE IT BACK FROM ME?
"Hey, Mr. lover boy is here!" Tanya’s voice rang across the office floor, drawing a few smirks from nearby desks as she invited Christian with a charming smile, "Oh my goodness, your recovery break made you more handsome!" Christian froze, while clutching his files a little tighter, he knew that because of his friends there's no single day he was left without getting embarrassed."Woah! What's with those dark circles under yours?" Kira asked with a mischievous grin, swiveling her chair toward him. "Don't tell me you're not able to sleep properly as you've been missing us, are you?" Christian exhaled deeply, pressing his lips into a thin line. "Come on guys, I just came now and you people...." "We are just worried about you," Andrew laughed and came to give a hug to Christian, "Glad that you're back! We missed you a lot."Christian smiled back at him, "I missed you all as well....""We can't see that," Luna said calmly while placing the file aside, "If you've truly missed us, we sho
