"I don't understand you; what are you talking about?" "Did you not call for me out here? Cole told me that you are calling me and need me so I came here."Lily did not understand all the questions when she was thinking of what to do with the current situation."You left me cold with your presentation? I did not call you, and I have not seen Cole for a while now.""What? really? What is Cole up to? What kind of game is he playing now?""Jeez, are you trying to say you left Cole inside your room with your presentation? Oh my, babe, this is not good and certainly is not going to go well."As Damian said those words, they both ran out of the kitchen to Lily's room; he did not know what he would do if anything happened to her presentation, like Cole was just someone who would not stop without destroying something if he did not like it.Sigh.She got to the room, pushed the door open, and walked inside. Lily looked around; everything looked normal. She breathed down and walked to the space
Demian did not worry that much because he knew that getting everything fixed would not be a problem for him, but Lily was stressed, and so he was still troubled.He knew that she was and has always been so sensitive about the little things in life, but he wanted her to relax, and that was the only thing you could say to her if she would do as she says."But, babe, what are we going to do? As much as I want to be reasonable and stay positive to support you, I can't help but freak out thinking about everything, and you know that going to make dinner is not my cup of tea, right?"Lily looked at Demian with a pained expression. She wanted everything to just be fine to the extent that at times she wished she didn't have the old woman and Cole as her family or that they were just dead and gone a long time ago.But still, they were and would always be her family. She needed her life with her family; it was something she did not want to go without knowing how it felt to be separated from Jumi
"This is so good how did you make all this?"The old woman asked Damien, making Cole hurriedly take a spoon of rice and put it in his mouth.He blinked more than twice... how come did he manage to make all of that in Just a few minutes? He was sure that the food was ruined beyond mending he had the same dishes which he had ruined on the table how?Cole turned around, and looked at Damien who was smirking at him he could not believe that Damien never ran off being smart, after all the trouble he went through he was not entertained."Do you see what I am talking about? It has been so long since I had something as sweet to eat in a very long time."The old woman admitted to her grandson in front of Damien making him smile."Umm... Grandma, I do not know what to say, I mean I have tasted so I have no comments but from what I have eaten it is poor compared to how you say it is."Cole, of course, did not want to praise Damien after all he did not want him to get his grandma's attention, or
"Okay, would you love to have dinner with me later tonight?"Looking at Lily, Damian asked as she was about to go away and go back to the dining table where her grandmother and Cole were seated.It has been a long time since he spent time with her, so he bent his neck to the side as she waited for her answer."You mean you want to have dinner with me? like I shouldn't eat right now?"She pouted her lips because she knew that that was one of the silliest questions one could ever ask.Demian giggled looking at her cute face; he just wanted to go right ahead and kiss her, but it was not in his power to have a public display of love.The old woman would immediately throw him out of the house if she saw them, so he had to be conscious of himself to not make any mistakes; just one mistake might prove abortive for him, so he had to keep his emotions in check."I don't really know what you want me to say right now, but I think I am going to say yes."Shyly saying those words, she smiled and r
Without wasting any time, Damien went to the room. He had something more important than talking to Cole. Damien walked into Lily's room; he was setting something; he placed some plates, a bottle of champagne, and two pieces of glassware already on a table, and the table is at the side of the wall just a few meters away from the bed. Damien smiled and placed the cutlery beside the plates. He lit the two candles on the table and moved around the room to light the rest of the candles. He can't think of any other person but Lily right now. With a bright smile brimming on his lips, he walked to the wall and switched off the lights; the candles brightened the room. "Beautiful, but not like her," Damien commented and smiled. He walked out of the room and went to Lily, who was in the sitting room. He walked over to her and held her hands. "Damien," Lily called with a smile, and he stood up holding his hands. "I have something to show you," Damien said, smiling. "What is it?" Lily asked
Lily woke up the next morning, remembering that today was going to be the biggest test of her life, which made her extremely agitated. "Lily, put yourself together. You can do this." Lily whispered to herself and stood up from the bed. She was wearing a nightgown, and her hair is a bit messy. She looked at Damien, who was still asleep. "He's so peaceful." Lily smiled; seeing him made her more confident. "You can do this," she said with much resilience in her voice. She repeated those words until she freshened up and changed into her working clothes. By that time, Damien was already awake. "Good morning," Lily said. "Morning," Damien replied, and he tilted his neck from side to side. He looked at the clock and gasped. "It's so late; why didn't you wake me up?" Damien scolded.He needs to do the chores in the house; he can't allow the old lady to wake up before him and find the house unkempt; that would be terrible. "It's just seven, honey; you need to get some rest; don't let g
Lily couldn't refuse; she was really in need of a ride, and it would be more decent, even classy, to go in his car than in a mere cab. Lily locked her car. "Thank you; I appreciate this, sir," Lily said with a smile, not a broad one but a formal one meant for a stranger. The mention of sir displeased Walter, but he simply forced another smile. "Come in," Walter urged, so the driver stepped out of the car and ushered her into the car. "Thank you," Lily said, and the driver shut the car's door and went to sit in it in the driver's seat. Lily faced Walter and smiled; he was handsome, she noticed, but it was nothing compared to Damien's handsomeness. Walter smiled back but looked away. "You are so beautiful—more beautiful than the words used to describe you," Walter said inwardly and smiled. Lily grew uncomfortable with his intense gaze on her. She decided to face him, but that didn't stop him from still gazing at her. She suddenly disliked the stare; Damien had never stared at
Grandma and Cole couldn't believe their ears, Cole had the urge to faint, it's too unreal, how he could have been insulted, humiliated or to be better said treated as good as trash and his younger sister gets the contract, he suddenly felt ashamed. "I don't believe you" the old lady said, she couldn't just trust her granddaughter's words, she believed it to be a lie. "Grandma, why would I lie?" Lily asked with a smile on her face, she walked away from the door to the old lady's table. "I got the contract, this is a thing of joy, we should be happy" Lily said smiling at them especially at Cole. He expected her to fail woefully just like he did but she's happy that his expectations were cut short. "I'm calling the mayor's office, I don't believe any word you are saying '' the old lady said stubbornly and frowned her lips. Cole took her phone and dialled the mayor's office in desperation, the call was answered and he handed it to the old lady. Lily, smiling staring at them, Grandm
