Chapter 1:
"Certainly Sir, I will inform father of your proposition" I smiled brightly while saying it in my oh-so-famous sweet tone. Go to hell you damn man! Don't think I didn't know about your companies stench?! He also smiled at me. Ugh. Even your smile stinks! When can I get out?!
"Well, I thank you for meeting up with me Ms. Sun. I hope the deal goes well" He tipped his hat at me as he got up. "I'll be going now don't wanna miss a meeting" He gave me a last grin before turning his back and headed for the door. Meeting? Since when have you taken your job seriously? Your probably off playing hooky somewhere.
I took one last bite out of my pastry and finished my tea before standing up and preparing to leave. If it wasn't for that I would've never agreed to meet with that thing again! I left the bill on the table together with a generous tip then headed out the door.
As I head out I felt stares all over my body, humph! After all who could resist a good looking young lady when she walks by? Since I've been trained from childhood, I simply shrugged their stares away and proceeded outside.
Stepping on the sidewalk, I began to walk my way to a certain shop in mind. I noticed as I passed by a whole lot more stares were directed at me. Smiling, as I passed by a glass window I looked at myself, a voluptuous tall blue-eyed woman with white skin, slender shoulders and long blonde hair wearing a light frilly yellow dress and a purse. A beauty indeed… I can't help but praise myself after all I worked really hard to get this kind of figure so don't say I'm being a narcissist.
I continued to walk until I reached a cute little pastry shop. It might be small but the line says otherwise. I slipped through an alley at the corner just to see a door which I opened finally smelling the sweet scent of sweets. Before going on I grabbed my phone out of my purse and checked for messages, when nothing important came up, I went in and positioned myself on a pastel colored couch with a coffee table in front of it.
While waiting, I picked up my phone again and dialed a number…
"Miss!"
I smiled "Adair, would you tell father that our most grateful shareholder's generosity is really too much that he gives it to women who have it hard on themselves and he is asking our assistance if we would ever be so grateful that we would be willing to raise his wonderful contribution to our corporation"
"Got it miss! I'll be sure to tell your father that he's using the company's money on women again and he wants to have his share up" Oh Adair, you never disappoint me after all if someone hears me say those things I just don't know what father would do. I knew I was a great judge of character.
I nodded at his reply "Thank you, oh and please bring my package after it arrives to my room and-" I was cut off by the sound of a door opening "I'll tell you when I get back"
I heard an affirmation from him before I ended the call. I looked up to whoever entered the room and my grin grew wider. "Ecilan!" I shot up from my seat and hurriedly came up to him. He just nodded and handed me a bag with a sweet scent permeating from it.
This is my good friend who is not my friend Ecilan Ice .Confused? He is actually a part of father's rival's corporation so it's not that good to be seen interacting friendly with each other but he does make superb sweets! That's one of the reasons why he's one of my very best friends!
After handing me the sweets, he goes back to whatever he's doing. This is normal, he doesn't speak very much but it's easier that way. Well, he's gone so it's also time for me to leave, I've still got one last place to head to.
Taking a cab, I began to head to the local library. Not because of books, I've got enough of those at school. Speaking of school, there's only about two weeks left till the start of school. Geez, I haven't even got to enjoy summer that much.
The cab halted to a stop and I paid the cab driver. I stepped out and found myself staring at the large building which was the library. A sense of jamais vu* coming to me as I looked around the place. I sat at a bench I found near the library. It's not like I was going to go in there, I have a feeling that the librarian has her eyes on me.
After a few minutes of looking around, I looked at the bag I clutched in my hand and took out a small pouch with a beautiful picture of a sun embroidered on it. I opened the pouch and found myself munching on my favorite sweet blueberry cookies.
I was so absorbed in eating my cookies that I didn't notice the figure coming towards me at my back. I almost choked out what I was eating when I felt a slight tap on my back. But being the graceful lady that I was (and the fact that I was on public), I merely gave out a small cough on my hand. I turned to glare at the jerk who tapped me when I saw who it was.
With black hair and black eyes and a solemn expression on his face that could scare even a three year old to sleep, I was forced to hold back my glare. I gave an embarrassed smile and tried not to meet his eyes. Seeing that he gave a slight cough which signaled for me to put back my sweets, complying, I hesitantly put the sweets back in the bag. He smiled.
I stood up and dusted myself before speaking "Geez, Please don't sneak up on me like that! You almost blew my cover" I grumbled softly making sure no one was to hear.
He straightened his face albeit relaxing it and replied "Well I wasn't the one all caught up eating sweets and I did call you a few times" He opened the book in his hand and began reading.
"Well enough with this, let's go already people might notice" I said ending the conversation. He nodded and we both walked towards a gray hovercraft. I took the shotgun seat and put on my seatbelt and after a while he took the driver's seat and began to drive to our destination.
Oh by the way, he's my best friend who's not my friend (Well you get the idea), Lesus Judgement. And he's actually the son of my father's rival the one whom Ecilan's father works for…fun right? Well actually our companies aren't really that much of rivals, father tells me that it's to monopolize stuff and that they are actually best friends with Lesus' father, Chasel. I know it's complicated and father says it's been going on for generations…ugh.
I watched Lesus as he drived and can't help but think what he would look like in all black…I wonder if it would suit him? Would it make him look imposing? I shrugged off the thought since we're already here and the whole ride was quiet as usual but it was the good kind of quiet not the awkward kind.
We stopped in front of a building and I got out first since he was still going to park the car and I've got more 'important' things to do. I went towards the building and the guard greeted me. I flashed a smile making him blush. I stepped inside and saw Adair scribbling some notes before his eyes went towards me and in an instant he was there by my side.
"Miss! The movers finished moving all your things but I carefully handled all your essentials. And your package is in your room." He smiled as he told me all these. "Thanks a lot Adair! I knew I could count on you" Dropping all formalities I thanked him and sent him a big smile. I needn't worry about my appearance in here that's why I can relax.
I felt content with all his work as I proceeded to the elevator to my apartment. Adair followed me in the elevator and gave me a brief report of what has happened throughout the day. I nodded at everything he says not quite understanding it.
"-And your father called-"
*Ding*
Finally the elevator was on my floor but as we both stepped out I couldn't help but give Adair a questioning look. "Father? What did he say?" I asked him. Apparently Father was the one who threw me in this building saying I needed to be more independent but thank the heavens he let Adair go with me!
"He just wanted to see how you were doing and some other things I think you should hear for yourself and he also wanted to remind you about the dinner with the Long's" If it wasn't because I was with Adair for years I wouldn't have noticed his slight change in tone and expression. I guess father was complaining again.
"Ah okay. Thanks Adair." I bid him as we stopped in front of my apartment. He nodded and turned back to the direction of the elevator.
"Oh and Adair!" I called out before he got in. "Don't mind what he says" He smiled and the elevator door closed off. I unlocked the door to my apartment and saw that it was really organized. Well I guess it's just normal.
I set my bag on the counter and entered the bathroom to take a quick bath. I silently thanked Adair for moving all my 'essentials'. It's really hard to maintain a skin so white you know! What am I an albino? So using these body masks does the trick.
After applying my mask I wore a robe and got ready for my personal sauna when the curse happened.
*Knock* *Knock*
Curse this insufferable mask! Who is it that dares to do this?! I grumbled to the door and peeped at the whole to look at who is outside.
"Ah…Should I have come later?" Lesus looked slightly surprised as he looked at me. I gave him a glare before mumbling "Yes, you should have…but since you're here might as well come in" I ushered him in and went to my sauna.
"You can talk to me out there, I also get bored you know" I heard him shift movement and sat somewhere near where my sauna was. I gave a sigh "What is so important that you came here?" Although in my head I thought of this as practically a curse, Lesus still has his reasons.
It took a moment but he replied "I got the package from the Long's" he stated it firmly. Oh so this is what it's all about. "So, what was it?" I questioned. "Nothing much, just a game helmet I wanted to check if you played it yet"
"No I still haven't as you can clearly see. By the way what'd you think of the new color? "I asked him referring to my mask. He's already seen me a lot of times in it that's why I'm not bothered with him anymore. "Green scares me more but the more I look at this week's pink the more disgusting it gets" he said nonchalantly
I growled and spitefully said "Maybe next week I should put green on one half and pink on the other so you can be both scared and disgusted at the same time" I heard him chuckle on the other end but it quickly died out.
After a moment of silence I tried to keep the conversation on and asked "You know about father right?" He made a sound to affirm me. "Seems like he's pissed off again, he complained to Adair this time as if Aldritzz wasn't enough" I complained….no, wait...I informed him.
"Okay, so what do you propose we do? It just seems like he's stressed out about the Long's" I was silent for a while but eventually replied "I don't know but he seems to be giving Adair a hard time and I doubt it's the Long's that is giving him a problem it's probably because of the old geezer again so can you please…please please tell uncle Chasel about it" I pleaded finally scraping off my body mask and washing my skin then drying it with a towel and draping a robe over it.
"I'm coming out" I warned him before opening the door and casually walked towards my bedroom. I caught him staring at me for a while then drifted over to the coffee table where the magazines were. I wonder if this is what all those paperwork did to him. I shuddered at the thought of doing lots of paperwork.
I changed unto my normal house clothes and went back to the living room to meet Lesus. I found him scouring the bag Ecilan gave me and giving off a displeased expression. Confused, I stood beside him to look at what he was displeased at. There were only the bags that Ecilan left me, I don't see anything wrong. I knitted my eyebrows and looked at Lesus.
He stared blankly at me as if hesitating to say something so I looked back at the bag and found the contents still the same. 9 pouches filled with sweets including mine…wait, 10 pouches?! Oh Shit! I forgot to give the others!
I hurriedly grabbed the bag, took out Lesus' share, threw it at him and was about to run through the door when Lesus coughed again. I stopped my track and stared hard at him with a questioning look. He gestured towards my body. I looked down and saw myself dressed in an oversized shirt and shorts. I gasped at myself. I was about to sleep what'd you expect?!
I saw Judgement pull out a red robe from behind the counter and his face remained straight as he went towards me and draped the robe on me. Nodding I finally hastened out the door to give the others their bags or else Ecilan will cut my supply of sweets.
