The school day passed as uneventfully as it could that day without Damien’s presence being detected by anyone. He went to the cafeteria together with Sky and the latter asked for extra help at the food counter. The chef gave him a stinky eye but then he heaped more mashed potatoes onto his tray. He got his way with the extra cutleries too, after he mumbled something about having PTSD and allergies.Sky couldn’t hold back his laughter at a point when Damien forgot to make his portion of the meal invisible as he ate from Sky’s plate. Thankfully, nobody else noticed the fact that a spoon was levitating. Sky’s laughter was what caught their attention and he managed to keep their curiosity at bay with a few well-placed glares.Damien scolded him for almost blowing his covers but Sky merely shrugged as he leaned closer to his plate like he was so engrossed in his meal as he whispered “Oh come on. You have to admit that it was funny”Damien smiled reluctantly then his smile was wiped off whe
“I can’t even imagine how someone could be so stupid enough to leave this well-paying job to go elsewhere! Stupid girl,” Damien was still some distance away from the staff house when could hear the cook mutter that in a pitying tone.“Maria was always a strange one” he heard the staff housekeeper respond. “To think she did not even tell me that she was leaving. Ungrateful twerp. Now, we have to look for the idiot’s replacement. She dared leave without saying anything when they would do all they could to get this job”“Erm, I have a cousin who just…”“Of curse, you always have a cousin who wanted something, Mario” the housekeeper’s snappy voice could be heard from the kitchen as it raised in pitch “You will do well to tell all those cousins of yours that this place is not a ground base for all your family and extended families”“Cousins…more like girlfriends and the people he bragged to” Damien could pick out the low voice of the man that accused him the other day”“You shut your mouth
Damien wondered what happened to the girl called Mary…Morgan or who knows how many names she had. Why did she leave? He wondered if it had anything to do with what happened when the mind linking occurred but he had no answers to his question.“Where could she be?” he thought for the umpteenth time in exasperation. He knew that she was not an ordinary girl if she could see his ring and he was sure that she felt his moon-absorbing process even before she came over to the outhouse.There was no reason why she would have thought that someone would be there otherwise. Why did she have so much guilt in her even though she was the one wronged? Why did she run now? These questions tumbled about in Damien’s mind as he waited for Butler Shawn.The man initially told Damien to wait for him some distance away from the main house and Damien had been anxious about the fact that anybody from the house might see him. By anybody, he had Sybil in mind because he was just that she wouldn’t hesitate to c
Main Square is the central commercial hub of Santa Eyre and Macmillan’s business took up the central part of the Main Square. The Macmillan’s business centre was a wraparound towering building that took up more than six acres in Main Square. They own about 80 huge, luxurious shops that deal mainly with women, men and kids' fashion. The Macmillans were originally known as cotton farmers before they went into textile production so their fashion shops are the most luxurious and expanse of all the shops. They only just recently added home appliances, food, technology, beauty and other things to their repertoire.Damien’s eyes widened as butler Shawn pulled up in front of the main entrance and the guards greeted him respectfully like they knew how much power he wielded.Even as he wondered what exactly they were doing there, Damien still couldn’t help but be awed by the magnificence of the place and he wondered what it might be like to be behind one of those floor-to-ceiling glass shingle
“Young master” Damien heard Butler Shawn’s resigned tone even before he turned to him. Even as he hoped that he was wrong, he knew that he had only heard the Butler sound like that only once before and that was when he was speaking with….“Awww. don’t sound as if you have been dying to see me. You know I miss you too” Smith Macmillan’s mocking tone ranged clear and true in the entryway of the centre and Damien knew that there was no escaping it this time. Not when he was standing so close to the butler with nothing else to divert the attention of the young man in front of him looking at Butler Shawn with a faint sneer on his face as….Damien’s eyes bulged when he realised that the person hanging on to the young master’s arm was the girl from earlier! The one who had insulted him when he was waiting for Butler Shawn!Damien frowned to himself when he saw the way the girl was standing so close to Smith, her arm was tightly hooked through his, her breast rubbing against his arm and even
“Damien, what are you doing? Let go of her hand!” Butler Shawn said in a shocked whisper as he smacked Damien’s hand when the latter did not let go of the girl’s hand fast enough for him.The impact of that smack had the girl yelling out again and Damien quickly let go of her hand as he stepped back in contrition, already blaming himself for acting so rashly. “I am sorry,” he said as he looked at Butler Shawn’s face as the girl rubbed at her hand “She wanted to…”Butler Shawn gave him an imperceptible nod as if he understood why he did it but he shouted at him “How dare you lay your hands on Miss Sonia? Do you want to die?” he turned towards the lady.“I am sorry, miss. I promise something like this will never happen again” Butler Shawn said anxiously.“Who the hell do you think you are to promise me anything? You are nothing but a glorified, old ass worker yourself and you think you can promise me anything?” she yelled as she held the hand that Damien jerked back with the other “The
“What are you grinning at?” Damien snapped out of his admiration haze when the girl snapped at him and he quickly looked aside. He nodded apologetically at her before looking forward when she glared at him.“Does this look like a vacation to you? You think a nobody like you would even have a chance to be in a car like this if not that I needed you to help me when my arm tires out?” she turned to him abruptly after trying to fix her car key into the ignition with her left hand all to no avail “Which I wouldn’t have needed if you did not twist my hand, you wretched bastard!”“I am sorry,” Damien said. He was having no idea of what else he was supposed to say in the face of such hostility.“Sorry!” she scoffed “Who cares about your fucking sorry? You think you are just here for a free ride? Can’t you see that I can’t fix the car key in?” she snapped as she threw the key smack on Damien’s face and he quickly bent down to pick it from the console where it fell to.Damien wanted to ask her
The girl did not reply to him as the hospital they were going to come up and she had to swerve towards the car parking lot.Damien felt that she had enough time to reply to him if she wanted to though but he kept his mouth as he thought that, if she was laughing then she would probably not have him punished for what he had done.One other thing he realised was that she did not even need his help on the way. He had no idea that he was looking forward to driving the car, not until she turned towards the hospital parking lot and he realised that his chance to “drive” never came.She hissed in pain as she used her injured hand to turn off the ignition and glared at him when he told her “sorry”. The girl who had laughed in such a carefree manner was nowhere to be found as she descended.“Are you okay, miss?” Butler Shawn said as h came up to meet them and she glared at him.“Does this look okay to you?” she shouted at the man as she gestured at her right hand.“I am…”“I don’t want to hear
