More and more, my life has no direction or purpose. What am I here for? What was the reason that could make me open my mind?After several days of dwelling in the same house, there was no change in Thane's demeanour. The man remained cold, stiff, expressionless. As if I was never here, he was so silent without any greeting every time we met.This time, I hadn't seen him since last night. I didn't want to think about it, but the more I thought about it, the more it made me anxious."Huh... what should I do now? I've been reading, watching, shopping for unimportant things through online apps. In fact, I've played all the games on this phone to win countless times. Then... is there nothing else to do?" I grumbled and complained about the boredom that always came my way.I saw that Mia was also busy with her work. She couldn't even keep me company at a time like this. Did Mia deliberately not want to talk to me anymore?Amongst this boredom, there seems to be a part of my body that protes
Thane looked at the bread on the tray. There was a puff of smoke, indicating that the food was still hot. One hand outstretched, his forefinger seemed to press a few times on one of the loaves. "I made some sandwiches and... cakes. I'm just channelling what I've learned in the past. I guess it'll be my fun in the midst of the boredom of being here. At least it's something positive I can do," I explained to Thane, who asked what I was doing.I saw his face watching my bread again. Suddenly, his hand grabbed one of the loaves and ate it without asking. As expected, he wouldn't have any expression while eating the food. I was actually embarrassed to introduce my homemade bread, but... Thane didn't even show a strange face while eating it."You shouldn't force yourself to eat it, Thane," I said to Thane.Thane glanced at me sharply, making me look down in fear. I flashed my eyes to look at him. Apparently, Thane had picked up the bread that was still on the tray. Thane ate it with gusto
These few days, I was busy baking and doing other activities. Until I realized that I hadn't seen Thane here for a few days. I don't know where he went. I never knew and got news about him.Actually, there are many questions I want to ask Thane. It's just that the man always ignores me and seems reluctant to talk directly. Does a person with power always behave like that?Right now, I was walking towards the kitchen. I wanted to ask Mia something. I saw that she seemed to know everything Thane had been doing all this time.My eyes wander, taking in every corner of the kitchen. Apparently, Mia is washing dirty dishes. I stepped closer to her, but suddenly, my lips felt stiff, and I stopped myself from speaking to Mia."What's wrong, madam. Why do you look like you want to talk to me?" asked Mia, who knew what I meant."Hem, no. I just wanted to say hello to you. Then, I'll go read. I think some books caught my eye yesterday." After saying that sentence, I hurriedly left from there.It
I felt uncomfortable with the look Mia gave me. Even her answer to my question about Thane's phone number wasn't perfect, in my opinion. Mia is like a different person right now. I'm a stranger to her.However, I realize Thane must be busy at the moment, too. I shouldn't be asking for his phone number like this. I must be very annoyed if I call him. So, how can I tell Thane about Anne's wedding? I wanted to be there, but the current circumstances didn't allow me to ask for permission."Madam, if there is something important, it should be discussed with Lord Thane directly." Mia's words were true, but how could they be? Thane wasn't even here right now."How can I talk to Thane if he hasn't been around for a few days." I expressed what I was really feeling right now.Let alone talking. I don't know when he's coming home?"Mr. Thane will be home tonight. Madame can wait for him to come," Mia said suddenly.Is he really coming home tonight? How could this be a coincidence?"Alright, I'll
I was surprised by Thane's presence in the car. My body was still standing frozen in front of the door, while Thane himself was looking at me with a tilt of his head. My eyes blinked a few times, and I tried to realize what I saw now."Thane?" At the mention of his name, Thane looked back at me."Come in, or do you want to keep standing there?" Thane asked me, who was still frozen in my current position."Why are you here? Didn't you have work this morning?" Instead of answering, I asked Thane back.There was something strange here. For some reason, I felt that Thane wasn't letting me go."Isn't it obvious? I'm here to go with you." Thane's words made me even more confused.I remembered once, didn't I say yesterday that I would go to Anne's wedding? I didn't intend to take Thane along. This was strange, really strange."Then what about your work, Thane? Actually, are you going to come along or just drive me? Don't confuse me!" I said, making it clear what Thane wanted to do precisely.
Anne's wedding party continued into the night. The atmosphere was different here, too, as dance music led the guests to the dance floor. I saw the couples start to dance together. I could see how romantic the atmosphere was.I also saw Anne enjoying her dance with her husband. They looked so intimate and were enjoying the music. Not everyone was on the dance floor, like me and Thane. We were still sitting where we had been since we got there.Suddenly, Anne pulled me and whispered, "Hey, will you let that guy sit there? You didn't hear the music, so it's perfect for dancing together."I felt embarrassed when Anne said that because she didn't know what happened to me. Of course, she would refuse if I asked him to dance. Looking at his face, I was afraid to offer myself and ask him to dance together."No, I'll just sit and watch you dance," I replied, which made Anne squint."Hey, Elinor. Are you going to let him go? If I may make a suggestion, now is the perfect time for you guys to ge
This morning, I woke up to my cell phone ringing. I saw Anne's name on it, and I immediately took the call without waiting any longer. I heard Anne's happy voice from the other side."Hey, Elinor! Did you enjoy my wedding so much?" Anne asked from the other end."Of course, your wedding was great, and I loved everything, including the food," I replied to make Anne even happier."Ah, yes. My family ordered delicious food, and many of the guests loved it. I'm glad that yesterday went well and smoothly."That's good to hear, Anne. Do you have any other news? It's early in the morning, and you're calling me. There must be something to be happy about, right?" I asked reassuringly.On the other side, I could hear Anne laughing happily. Someone was beside her, probably hugging her right now. I felt reassured that Anne had gotten what she wanted all along."Hey, I'm going on my honeymoon with my husband. We're going to the next town over." Apparently, that was the happy news Anne would share
Thane didn't usually take me out of the penthouse. Moreover, the destination was a park, a public place that must have many visitors. I was pretty surprised when the car stopped in the parking lot, and Thane told me to get out of the vehicle."We're going to play in the park? Aren't you in the wrong place, Thane?" I asked to make sure. Thane didn't answer my question as usual and continued walking into the park. I had no choice but to follow him. Of course, I was happy he had invited me to this place.My gaze wandered all over the garden. The place was beautiful, and the plants were neatly organized. Some flowers were grouped according to color, and some stood alone because they had large tree trunks. I enjoyed the scenery there, but another sight made me wonder. All around us, couples were sitting and walking hand in hand. I guess they were on a date in this park.Not everyone was in a couple, but many of them were still lovers, alone together and enjoying the beauty of this area.
