A Smile, A Secret
"Miss Anna" Jack who was standing beside the car called out to anna with a small smile
"""Uncle Jack!!""" The three friends called out to Jack with a small smile of their own .
"Bye guys, see you all at the party!" Anna said before parting her ways and walking towards her ride.
Jack opened the door to the right back seat for Anna, Anna took her seat in the ride Jack asked after taking his seat.
"How was your day miss Anna?"
"It was fine.." Anna said lazily but soon she beamed.
"ah, I want to meet my brother today!"
"I'll contact the young master and ask if he is able to meet you today" Jack said with a nod of his head.
"Okay!" said Anna with a grin plastered on her face.
After reaching her mansion Anna dashes to her room to get changed. She had worn a long red and black checked skirt, a red T-shirt which fit her perfectly, black boots with red soles, A black jacket with red and white stripes, and her ears were adorned with golden square earrings.
After checking herself out in the full body mirror for a few minutes she thought.
'Kya! Why am I so cute and beautiful?' (◍•ᴗ•◍)
After a few more minutes of praising herself she walks out of the room and reaches her ride.
"To the emporium!" Anna said with a bright smile.
"Yes, Miss Anna" said Jack while slightly bowing his head.
The duo soon reached A tall, tower-like Emporium rising gracefully, its sleek glass windows reflecting the bustling surroundings. The structure tapers slightly as it ascends, with bold metallic accents adding a modern touch. At the base, wide glass doors welcome visitors into a vibrant shopping space. Decorative lighting wraps around the tower, making it stand out at night. Lush planters and designer benches enhance the stylish entrance area.
Anna walked past the entrance walking towards the elevator all of the staff who saw her bowed slightly acknowledging her presence Anna nodded towards all of them.
Anna knocks the door in front of her.
"Come in" came a sweet voice filled with both grace and authority.
Anna opened the door and walked inside. She looked around and her gaze landed on large glass windows overlooking the city. A sleek dark wood desk and leather executive chair sit at the centre. Minimalist shelves display awards and decor along the walls. A cosy seating area with plush chairs adds comfort. Soft lighting and subtle metallic accents complete the elegant space.
Then her gaze landed on a man with white hair reaching his shoulders, blue sapphire like eyes, handsome face, muscular yet lean build of 6.5 feet, he was donning a black shirt with a white leather jacket having black embroidery, black pants and black boots. He had a small grin on his face
"Anna!!" Said Damien The head of Starborne Emporium with happiness written all over his face
"Brother!!" Anna beamed after looking at her brother
Damien stood up from his chair and hugged anna leading her to the sitting area, he sat at one of the chairs while patting one beside him gesturing Anna to take a seat soon both of them started talking about their day and miscellaneous events after some time Anna asked Damien with an excited look
"Ah, Brother! Do you know about midnighters?"
"Midnighters?" Damien replied with a confused look
"Ah you know, I heard that there are few humans who get Superhuman abilities at night time and they call themselves midnighters" said Anna repeating what Amaya had told them
Hearing that Damien laughed out loud
"Haha! Yea she is right and I am one of them you know"
"Hmph, it's fine if you don't believe me but you don't have to make fun of me like that" Anna said while pouting seemingly offended from the teasing
"Haha sorry! sorry!" Damien apologized while still chuckling to himself
Both of them talked to each other for sometime before Anna left the room
Suddenly the smile from Damien's face disappeared and his eyes felt deeper than before. He called out
"Who was it?"
"She was one of Miss Anieal's classmate" came a voice
"Hmm.. could it be a trap from a midnighter?"
"I don't think so, young master"
"Hmm.. still check if she is in connection with any midnighter"
"Yes, young master"
As soon as the unknown person said that he disappeared from wherever he was
'I can't lose anna, I won't lose.. not again'
Damien closed his eyes while dropping his head on the headrest of his chair.
"Hah.."
