Chapter 6

Eros’s Pov

I go to the mall quickly to buy some gift just like what my mom said. I just bought some luxury bags like Hermes, Gucci, and Chanel for the wives and daughters of my parent’s business partners. I bought some good watches for those businessman, I stick to one brand which is Rolex. Actually, I didn’t know how many are they, I forgot to ask mom. I just bought 15 pieces each brand, if it is too much I might throw the excess or give it to the maids. I gave my black card to the cashier woman, she swiped it immediately and said how much I spend to their shop, as if I care lol. I also noticed her making a cute face, it’s irritating.

Before I go shopping, I already called some housemaid’s earlier to pick up those things I bought in the mall. They arrived in a few minutes, they knew that I hate waiting.

“Sir, your mom said that you should be home on time.” One of our housemaid said.

Tsk, “Yea, tell to her that I’ll be home after I ate my launch.”

She just nodded before they finally leave.

After that, I went straight to one of the restaurant here at mall to eat my lunch, I still have a few hours to enjoy my own company here. While walking, I could see those girls turning their heads to mine. They’re all giggling everytime I look back at them. It irritates me, they all look stupid giggling at a stranger like me.

The smell of seafood greeted me when I entered the restaurant. I sat at the left corner near at the window. When you look at the window, you can see those little buildings down there. You can also see the cloudy skies, good for today’s mood.

“Hello sir, good day! May I know your order sir?” The waiter asked.

He gave me the menu card and I scan it immediately.

“Uhh, one order of shrimp fettucine alfredo and a glass of white wine please.” I declared.

“Okay sir. Your order will be serve in just a few minutes. Enjoy your company here sir.” The waiter said before finally leaving my table.

I open my phone and type a message to mom.

‘I’ll be home after I ate my launch. I know you didn’t ask but I just want to inform you’

I looked around the restaurant, there are plenty of people here. Some are family but more on couples having their launch here. It’s funny that I’m the only one who’s sitting alone here but, I don’t mind. I lifted my gaze at the window, I’m tapping the table while waiting. It’s boring you know, I have no one to talked to and I feel sick seeing those people, so I just watched those boring little building. The message notification catches my attention when it dings. It just a message from mom replying ‘OK’ to my message.

I stared at the black bracelet that the girl gave me earlier. She’s right, it looks good on my wrist. I noticed there’s a letter ‘P’ beside the knot. Maybe it’s the first name of her name or her last name.

“Cute.” I murmured on myself.

I didn’t notice that they finally served my order, I got pre occupied by the bracelet. I ate it immediately and pay my bills.

“Thank you for coming, sir. See you again!” The front man said.

I just nodded at him.

I checked my watch, it’s already 2:50 in the afternoon. It’s still early but I want to go home now since I don’t know what to do anymore. Maybe I’ll just play at my computer or take a nap to pass the time. I go to the parking lot to find my bike, when I found it I quickly started it and drive home.

I got home around 3:45 P.M, all the maids are busy cleaning and others are cooking at the kitchen. I went to see mom. I saw her at the kitchen wearing an apron, “What are you doing?” I ask sarcastically.

“Obviously, I’m cooking. Don’t you see?” She answered sarcastically too.

Tsk,

Funny right? She can cook but she never cooks for me. Mom always cook everytime she wants to look good on her business partners. She wants to impress them by her foods.

I left her at the kitchen and went to my room, I’m too lazy to look for dad. Maybe he’s at the library doing his business at his laptop. When I reached my bed, I lay down at my bed. I reached one pillow and rest my head on it. I didn’t realize that I fall asleep, I woke up from the knock on my door.

“Wait!” I shouted irritated.

When I open it, the maid greeted me, “Sorry to interrupt your business sir but, your mom said that you need to get ready now.”

I just nodded at her and close the door. I check the time at my modern wall clock, I slept 2 hours. I’m still wearing the same clothes earlier. I went straight to my bathroom and take a shower. It took me an hour before I finished. I put my towel at the bottom part, I looked for a clothes to my closet. I can’t decide what clothes should I wear. I ended up at my black button down shirt, I immediately call for maid to Iron it.

I sat at my couch while waiting to my shirt, I opened my phone and Harry’s message pop on my screen. I opened it,

‘HARRY’

“Yo dude! Me and my family are already here, can I come in to your room? You know, it’s boring here.”

I typed my reply, “Okay, you already know my room. I don’t need to instruct it to you.”

After a few minutes I hear a knock on my door, maybe it’s Harry or the maid. I went to the door and opened it. My horror, it’s not Harry nor the maids I ordered to iron my shirt. It’s a girl who’s shocked also! She immediately turned her back at me.

“Oops! S-sorry! I t-rhought it’s the c-comfort room.” She explained.

“Do you asked the maid where’s the comfort room?” I asked sarcastically.

“Uhh y-yea, she said it’s upstairs but I didn’t know which door so I tried to open this door but it’s locked that’s why I knocked.”

Lol, what a stupid excuse, “The comfort room is next to the library room, which is second door.” I instruct to her.

She nodded at me and immediately left me. I saw harry walking towards me while holding the black button down shirt.

“Who’s that?” He asked suspiciously.

“I don’t know, maybe one of the stupid daughters of my parent’s business partners.” I said.

“So rude.” Harry joked.

“I’m just stating the truth. Our comfort room door has a label on it, mine was none.”

Harry entered my room. Before I finally close it, I see the face of the girl earlier. When I see her face, I feel my chest hurt. I could feel the same chest pain I felt when I saw her at the bar before I collapsed.
