Chapter Nineteen - Realization (5)

At The Private Study Chamber

In The Flintstones' Mansion

After getting the two guards stationed at the entrance of his private study chamber, he felt a bit eased. Auntie Magenta, the wild lover of purple. Her hair color, eyes and nails colors, lipsticks color and even her outfits were all purple. People saw her as someone who was obsessed with purple color and she was indeed obsessed with the color.

Back then in her childhood, her parents who happened to be Jayden's maternal granddad and his second wife, they forced her to wear clothes in white and black colors only. Any cloth that had hint or trace of other colors were burned or used as rags. They never allowed her to wear colorful clothes or even grant her the permission to leave the walls of her bedroom. She stumbled upon the purple color when she decided to take gardening as a hobby but she noticed the hearty violet flowers that she randomly planted. She then took interest in growing flowers that had purple petals and since then, her craving towards purple color intensified greatly.

It wasn't her fault that she developed such craze for purple color but it even got escalating by each day. A lady like her was supposed to be in her husband's house with two or more beautiful children surrounding her but instead, she was getting older in her father's house and her obsession for purple color was rising also.

The spacious yet stately chamber that Jayden used as his private study chamber was all in splendor. The bookshelves where files and books were kept was made of very fine wood. The gilded tables and chairs were grand and the chamber was very neat, not even a speck of dust could be seen as he had always instructed the maidservants to clean that chambers of his very well. The chamber itself was a treasure to Jayden because he kept his valuable stuffs like his family pictures, awards and trophies, coral treasures and so many other things.

Looking at the little alarm clock that was on his table, it was already evening. He had been working on a school project for more than three hours now and what he needed now was a long rest but he didn't want that. The deadline of the project was tomorrow and long rest was not in his agenda.

He just decided to take thirty minutes break as he had ordered one of the guards to instruct the kitchen maids to bring him tea. Gawking at his phone, he dove straight ahead to the school's social media pages. Salacious news bulletins beeped o'er and o'er again alongside the cocottes that were trooping into his message box begging for his attention.

A maidservant entered the private study chamber and dropped the cup of tea on his gilded table, Jayden glimpsed at the departing maidservant who had ash blonde hair that was tied in a French Braid. That reminded him of someone he somewhat knew. Jemima Stephenson! He remembered sending her an invitation to join the school social media pages. Scrolling and tapping on his pricey phone, there was a confirmation sent to him that Jemima accepted his invitation. Shelbie had already added her to the school social media groups and Jemima was getting along.

There was a dialog between Jemima and some other students from Class Number 528 telling her that there was going to be a class test holding tomorrow by one of the sternest teachers in Skye Evander High School. How stern could this so-called stern teacher be? Jayden thought to himself 'cause he knew who the teacher was. In fact, the stern teachers were the one scared of him as they could not scare him like they always do to other students…

Jemima was offline! He felt down a bit but that downcast had not gotten the dominant side of him. He was never swayed by emotions. Realizing that he had spent more than thirty minutes, he gulped the tea in one go and returned back to work.

He was such a workaholic, serious-minded and hard to please. The girls that were flocking around him would always go back with their cute faces covered in shame and yet they never got tired of following him. And don't even exclude the maidservants 'cause they were far worse than the croesus' daughters that followed him. Some have tried seducing such a young lad but they ended up being sacked from their jobs or placed behind bars.

People have rumored that he was silence himself, the aura surrounding him could squash out air from someone. Anywhere he stepped his feet into, he would always be the center of attraction and attention, making other guys that were with him inferior in terms of looks and personality. His good looks could even put the devil's daughters off guard and compel them overnight. His ultramarine eyes were charmingly deep-set and murkiness could only be seen in it.

But what could a dude with such characteristics want to do with such an introverted missy like Jemima? Jemima lived and always wanted a simple life but Jayden lived a luxurious life where he could have anything he wanted even in triple folds.
