บท 13: Chapter. 13
She was wearing the normal uniform of Company.
Yes, we have uniforms as well. I feel like I am going to a private school everyday. Thankfully, for women the uniform is white shirt and black outer and black pencil skirt.
She stepped into the elevator. Wow! People aren't joking when they say that Pearl and Rustler meet everywhere. How am I getting into such awkward situations? Last time I somehow managed to eat lunch with John and Rustler and now it is worse. I feel like third wheeling. I feel unwanted. I silently sighed.
I smiled at Pearl. She gave me a soft smile while she glared at Rustler. He just narrowed his eyes. I don't know why I feel like we are going to be stuck in the elevator and Rustler is going to save Pearl and sacrifice my life. Normally this happens in every novel. But since I am extra in this scene I might get killed. My god gracious! I have to leave this place. I can not work in this Company. It is too dangerous.
While I was busy sorting out things in my brain, there was a glare competition going on between Rustler and Pearl. I was bored. So I took out my phone. I had many messages. I had put it in silent. So I didn't know. I checked out. One of them was from Sarah. I had told her about the internship in the King's Company and she freaked out. But later she calmed down and I explained the whole 'token of appreciation' thing. I feel as if I am some sort of prize they are giving away. Well, I am a gem. But we'll not go to the self appreciation right now.
Sarah just asked me how was work. I quickly replied it is good. And she is very busy with her studies. She is a medical student. Back to present, the glare competition is over. But Pearl is staring at Rustler with red cheeks. Wait? Red cheeks? Woah, wait a sec. What did I miss?
But Rustler is not looking at her at all. I narrowed my eyes. Something is fishy here. In the novel, they had pretty easy. They met, fought and fell in love. I totally should go on some blind dates. Let's experience new things.
The elevator was moving very slow. The heck???? Anyways, I was thinking of ways to leave this Company without having a bad record. Now a days, my life has become suspiciously peaceful. I feel like it is the silence before a big storm. Suddenly, a pen dropped in the floor rolling towards me. It was Pearl's pen. I bent down and picked it up. I gave it to her.
"Thank you, Miss Grace." She said. Oh? She knew my name? Maybe she did some research since I am a hot, pretty and beautiful girl.
"It's nothing." I said with a smile. She again looked towards Rustler. Oh yes! Rustler! I forgot about him. I looked towards him. He was staring at Pearl with his forever cold eyes. I am sure they are in this intial phase where they don't like each other much. But Rustler is pretty much attracted towards Pearl since she is a unique white lotus. The only reason why Rustler allowed her to talk with him rudely. I can not guess any other reason.
Finally, after so long, the elevator took us to our destined floor. As soon as the door opened, I smiled at Pearl and I went out and walked without looking at them. I don't ever want to be in this type of situation. I soon reached my department. Max was there waiting for me. I went to him.
"Hey, you want something?" I asked him. He stood up.
"No, just waiting for you. What did you guys talked about?" I raised my eyebrows. Max was a gossip king. He wanted to know everything going around him.
"Oh, nothing. Just stuffs like if I am adjusting in the Company. Don't worry about it." I assured him. I really don't want to drag or involve in these things. And I felt a sister vibe from Aunt Rachael. I don't want to sell her out. I am a absolute secret keeper. I feel like betraying the other person if I spill out things about them. And I feel that Aunt Rachael would not want our conversation to be leaked.
"That's good then. I will back to work now." He said. I nodded my head. I sat down on my chair. I decided to draw my designs on a ipad. Since I don't have one, I am thinking of buying one. It is easier to draw on ipads and there is no fear of coffee spilling on them and ruining my drawings as well.
So, as soon as I got off the work, I informed mom that I would be a little late and went towards the mall. In my way, I stopped by Starbucks to buy a drink. I got one and drove straight to the mall. I parked my car and went inside the mall. I was thinking of buying one ipad and go for some window shopping. I don't even get it how the original host was a fashion designer. She does not even have one good design. And the fact that she studied at the best fashion school. She didn't learn anything from that school at all.
I reached the apple store. I could have bought another tablet but believe it or not ipads are great for drawings. And I am rich anyways. I can buy ten ipads. I went inside the store and selected a light blue ipad. Yes, in this world they have light blue ipads. I liked it. I paid for it and they put on the screen protector. After buying the ipad, I went to a nearby accessories store. I selected a nice case for my ipad and its pencil. I also bought two cases for my iPhone. And there was one this keyboard thing that would connect with the ipad. I loved it. So I bought it too.
After that, I went for window shopping. I saw nothing that I wanted to buy. But I saw a cute little store selling cute stuffs. I got some cute decorating stuffs for my room from there. After that I was pretty much done so I returned.
I reached home pretty late because of traffic. When I reached home, I saw my mom, dad and brother sitting on the living room discussing about something. Mom was pretty happy. Dad was also smiling but he and Sean had serious face.
"Hey guys, What is going on? Mom, why are you so happy?" I asked her. But as soon as I heard her reply, I nearly fainted.
