Coming out of the bathroom, Sebastian saw Ariel sitting on the couch in the office. He looked at her before going back to his desk.
Few seconds later, Resa walked into the office and Ariel was quite startled this time. The way the woman walked into the office unexpected, startled her. Resa walked to Sebastian's desk and told him something in a low voice and Sebastian fixed his gaze on Ariel and her heart skipped a beat.Ohhh gosh...she hated when this guy did this! wait...not hate but..ahh...the way he suddenly fixes his gaze on her, always caught her at unaware and the way her heart always skips anytime he looks at her was just...she didn't actually have words for it.Sebastian still kept his gaze on her before he turned and looked at Resa and said something to her. Ariel didn't hear the conservation clearly, since they were talking in a low tone. Resa turned to Ariel and walked towards her. "Ariel, there's something I need to tell you..." Resa said and Ariel was worried a bit about what she was about to hear.As Resa was about speaking, a loud voice spoke through the small speakers in the office which Ariel just noticed. "Theresa Wilson...Theresa Wilson, you are needed in the assistant director's office at this moment" the voice said through the speakers. When Resa heard her name being called, she just sighed and said to Ariel "For my name to be called two times by that guy, shows that the assistant director is already going nuts. So I'll just chat with you later okay..?" And Ariel said "oh okay" and Resa left the office."Ariel" Sebastian called out to Ariel and she turned to him. He raised his index finger and gestured her to come and Ariel stood up and walked towards him "Do you need anything?" She said in her little voice and Sebastian said "You can go home Ariel" and Ariel was taken aback by his words "But Sir, it's not our closing time yet.. right?" She asked and she looked at the time and it was 11:54am. Resa had told her that their closing time is usually 4:00pm but for her, who was the personal assistant to Sebastian, she might close even later. But for the fact that Sebastian is telling her to go home this early was surprising."Ariel, there's a reason why you have to go home right now" Sebastian said as he stood up and walked to where she was. "There's a situation that's going to take place soon Ariel and you have to go home now to avoid it" he continued, staring into her eyes. "But Sir, I'm your assistant. Should I not be with you in this state of emergency?" She asked with her innocent eyes staring right back at him. Sebastian smirked and tucked a strand of hair behind Ariel's ears that was obstructing him from having a full view of her beautiful face. "Are you already this fond of your boss?" He said still smirking and Ariel's cheek burned with embarrassment. "Uhhmm...I'll leave now" she said as she packed her things out of the huge office and walked out. Sebastian shook his head in amusement and walked towards his chair. But before he got to his chair, they barged into his office. Michael and his minions. Including the gold-haired man.But fortunately, Sebastian sensed them quickly and faced them."She's not here Mike" Sebastian said and the witch only smiled a sinister smile and moved closer to Sebastian and said "Don't play dumb with us Sebastian. We are here for her and you!" Sebastian chuckled darkly and said " You witches are getting bolder and bolder as the day passes. Weren't you here earlier? Didn't Resa tell you not to come here anymore?" Sebastian said as his expression and voice turned deadpan."Daniel?" Mike called out to the gold-haired man and the young man faced him "Sir?" "Go check if the girl's here" Mike said and Daniel teleported himself out of the office in search for Ariel.Unbeknownst to Mike that something had occurred in a flash before they entered the office that no one knew about.Daniel Greene teleported himself back into the office and informed Mike that Ariel was not found. Mike faced Sebastian with anger evident in his voice "You don't know who you're messing with Sebastian". Sebastian smiled and said in a cold voice "Let me remind you Mike. You merely adopted the dark, but I was born in it" the smile on Sebastian's face had vanished like it was never there. He turned his gaze to Daniel and the two of them held eye contact for a while and it was like an unspoken conservation was going on between them. Then, Mike was about casting a spell on Sebastian but before he could open his mouth to utter the spell, Sebastian raised his right hand slightly and Mike, Daniel and the other witches which were with them were thrown to the wall. It was like Sebastian had controlled the wind. Which he actually did.Mike stood up to his feet and uttered a spell and a sword appeared in his hand. He ran towards Sebastian the two fought like mad beasts. Due to strength superiority, Sebastian carried Mike on his shoulders and landed him on the desk and the desk broke into different pieces. The other witches just stood and watched their leader get beaten. Mike struggled to get up on his feet but he had lost grip of the sword. Sebastian picked the sword and placed it close to Mike's neck. "The only reason I'm not slicing your neck right now is because it's not time yet" Sebastian said as his golden eyes turned blood red."Get out!...Now!" He said as he retracted the sword from Mike's neck.Mike stood up and signalled them to leave. "This isn't over!" He said to Sebastian.~~~~~~Few minutes ago, when Ariel had just left the office, she heard some people shouting and saw some, running. Her knees were weak as she wondered what was going on. Right before her very eyes, a young man materialized in front of her. His gold hair and deep gold eyes were just mesmerizing. He held Ariel's hand and said "Don't be scared. I'll take you out of here". After he said this, he teleported himself and Ariel out of the company building and said to Ariel "Go home now!".Ariel was still awestruck as he suddenly teleported out of her sight. She saw an approaching taxi and boarded it and went home.~~~~~~~Author~mimi~After getting home, Ariel was so confused at what happened in the company. From the moment Sebastian had told her to leave, to the moment that the gold-haired stranger helped her. But Ariel decided to think less of what happened and rather, focus on meeting Resa later that night. Suddenly, the urge to go to the garden-now-turned forest came to her and Ariel did her best to reject that feeling. Her grandma walked into her room and asked "Ariel, why are you back from work this early?" And Ariel told her grandmother what happened at the office and the old woman looked lost in thoughts momentarily before gaining herself back."Grandma, why do I always get this feeling?" Ariel asked confused as worry filled her eyes."What feeling?" Her grandma asked and Ariel sighed before saying "I sometimes feel that urge to go back to mum's garden. Even after you told me not to anymore. The feeling is just something that's hard for me to reject. Why is it like that grandma? I know it's not normal".Ari
"I went to see your mother..Ariel, the thing is.. your mother's spirit is still lurking around and I'm the only one that sees her. She has tried multiple times to make you see her whenever you go to the garden but it doesn't work. She had always wanted me to tell you something but I had to wait till you're old enough" Resa continued"So what you're saying is the reason why I go to that garden is because my mother is calling out to me because she had always wanted to tell me something?" Ariel asked in realization and Resa nodded"Hmmm...so what's has she always wanted to tell me?" Ariel said and Resa sighed before answering"I don't really think you are ready for what you are going to hear Ariel." "It's fine. Tell me" the girl said with curiosity in her eyes. Resa rubbed the back of her neck and finally made the decision "Okayy...Ariel your mum was a witch" Resa said and the girl beside her froze and was lost in thoughts"Ariel?" Resa called out to her but got no reply."Ariel?" Resa s
Getting home,Sebastian walked into his luxurious house and called for the man he spoke to on the phone earlier. "Sir?" The man said as he walked up to Sebastian."Is the room ready?" Sebastian asked "Yes sir. Everything a woman needs in already set in the room" the middle aged man said. The man was in a Butler uniform and had his jet black hair slicked back. This was Dave, he has been Sebastian's Butler for years now."We'll be expecting a guest soon" Sebastian said as he started walking away.~~~~Ariel just got back home and was packing her things with the intention of Resa taking her to Sebastian's house the next day.Ariel couldn't lie, she was still shocked about how things changed in her life recently. Her? Ariel? A witch?. It was so funny because it was like saying an ant is the ruler of the jungle. Her day today was just a mess... catastrophe upon catastrophe. Just in one day.She sighed as she zipped her luggage and went into the bathroom. Entering into the bathroom, she lo
After making that decision, Ariel took the book and read more of the content of the book. Her grandmother beside her, helped her to understand some things written in the book.After spending literally two hours learning about spells, Ariel finally decided to try and get some sleep after having such a hectic day. As she laid down on the bed, her grandma told her goodnight even though it was just 5:48pm.Drifting off to sleep was one of the most scariest thing for Ariel these days. Anytime she closes her eyes to sleep, she always felt like Mike was there watching her. Just like a horror movie, she heard his voice loud and clear in her head the moment she closed her eyes. "Run you little human...Run!!". Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead as she did her best to ignore that sinister voice in her head. Ariel started to wonder if that guy was really just a witch or he was also something else.Ariel was deep in thoughts and oblivious to her surrounding that she didn't know the moment a r
Ariel didn't know the time she fell asleep on the soft bed but she was awakened by a strong presence in the room. She opened her eyes slowly and rubbed them "Ahh..when did I fall asleep?" She said stretching this time. Ariel's eyes looked like it wanted to pop out of the sockets when she remembered something "Ariel you are so careless!! How will you just let yourself sleep when you just came into his house!!" She kept on scolding herself. Unbeknownst to her, a handsome Korean god was staring down at her and was watching her curse herself for being so careless.Ariel finally got up from the bed and turned around and saw Sebastian looking at her. The look on his face was just so intimidating that Ariel didn't realize the moment she blurted these words out " He looks like a Tyrannosaurus Rex that's about to eat me" "Tyrannosaurus Rex? Me?" Sebastian asked her raising an eyebrow."Ariel how could you say that out loud to your boss?" She thought before saying "Sh*t!! Did I say that out
Ariel went back to her room and called Resa asking her how she was going to make the arrangements for the trip and with the little but enough knowledge Resa had about it, she told Ariel how to get things done. The call took about ten minutes and Ariel ended it with "Thank you Resa"~~~~After Resa had guided Ariel on how to be the perfect assistant to Sebastian other than just bringing him coffee, Ariel quickly made arrangements for the trip."At least I have that done already. Now, it's time to practice all grandma told me" Ariel said to herself as she grabbed the spell book and walked out of her room. On her way down the stairs, she met Dave. "Sir, please do you guys have an empty space where I can practice some spells" Ariel said and the man replied with a smile "Follow me".Though Ariel still found it weird that she was a witch, she just had to accept it. Accept her new life. Ariel tagged along Dave until they got out of the house and arrived in a large garden at the back of the h
After practicing few other spells, Ariel was pretty worn out and Dave led her back into the house and then to the dinning room. "You have practiced enough, you need something to eat" Dave said as he gestured Ariel to sit on the dinning chair. He then walked into the kitchen. In a few minutes, he came out holding a tray of steamed buns and ramen noodles. "Please eat" Dave said to her before walking away. "So he cooks too...nice. Gosh, I didn't even get to thank him. He's been so nice to me"Ariel said inwardly before eating.When she was done, she went straight to the room. As she lay on the bed, she realized something. When she slept here earlier, she didn't hear Micheal's voice. She slept peacefully for the first time in a long time. "That damned witch is really scared of Sebastian" she said as she smiled and closed her eyes preparing to sleep.~~~~~~Sebastian was in his library with a very stern expression plastered on his face. He stared at the two men before him "As you know, Mich
Morning finally came and Ariel yawned as she got up from the bed. She took her bath and the moment she opened the wardrobe, her eyes almost popped out of the sockets when she saw the clothes that were in there. Since she arrived as a package in Sebastian's home, she had never opened the wardrobe to see the clothes that he had Dave prepare for her. All the clothes were either too short or too exposed in certain areas. With Ariel's decent personality, she was not the type to wear these kind of clothes.She thought of wearing her old clothes but remembered that she washed them while talking her bath. With a towel still around her chest, she walked out of the room.On her way down the stairs, she met Xavier. The guy looked like he just woke up, being that he was still in his pyjamas. "Uhmm... Good morning. Do you know where Dave is?" Ariel asked biting her lips out of shame because she was in a towel. Xavier scanned her from her head to her toe and smiled before saying "I think he's in th
