Chereads / HOPE IN THE DARKNESS / Chapter 7 - A deadly glare

Chapter 7 - A deadly glare

The sunrays penetrated into her bedroom faintly through the curtain. Slowly Aiden squinted her eyes and put the hands up to block her face from the rays. Distructed by the dust rays floating in the air as though an ancient God would descendant in front of me.

She dazed for a moment and tapped her hands onto her cheeks several times to pull her senses back. Yawned softly, sctreched her body left and right. Felt unsetisfy cause get not enough time for sleeping tightly.

'Last night... again... I went home almost 4 pm. Geees, time run so fast like cat and dog'.

They'd been worked hardly under high pressure and raced against time. All resources of company had already been used as high as going to the moon. How crazy, but no other options. Just moved and... kept going forward.

Aiden must handle all bussiness both China branch and support HQ back and forth at the same time. No time even for 'take a breath'. She hoped this turbulent situation will be avercomed soon.

Suddenly....a massage ringtone rang out from her cellphone. "Beeeeb.... beeeeb....", 'Where is it?'

Aiden looked for awhile and found it under the pillow. With one hand she opened the massagge....Stood up, yawned again.

When she read the massagge her eyes liked to be jumped out from their places in a flash.

"I'll pick you up at 10 am. No need to go to the HQ. Be ready ASAP!" ....Haa, It's came from Enrique !!!. He defenitely knew anyhow that she worked overtime lately and always overslept....

Aiden stood in a trance...motionless at the bedside and in her imaginary action she count her fingers quickly.

'Do three days have passed? How could that be, haa. Am I still live in the earth time ?... '

'Ok, What time is it now?' Aiden looked at the time app at the top right of the cellphone 'It's 9.15 now'

Unconciously she replied in a second " Tx Enrique. I'll be ready in 30 minutes. C u soon"...

In no more than half an hour she was ready with a white stylish high collar shirt, a pair of navy blue pants and light blue stilettos. She liked the way of her attire in a professional-impression. It made her feel more confident.

Aiden was preparing her stuffs and put it all inside her bag....In a few minutes later she heard a sound of chopper blaring, thundering and roaring laudly at the backyard of the mansion.

'Is Enrique coming?...

She grabbed her bag and running down in a lightening to the backyard of the mansion. 'Oh hell... has the mansion changed to be a battlefield now...? Holly God, what craziness he does..?!?!

Sound of chopper made everybody in the mansion jolted and dashed form everywhere to the backyard in panic and confused movement.

Aiden saw Butler Ben at the foyer near the front door running towards her and screamed loudly tried to defeat the chopper's sound.

"A chopper just landed at the backyard, Miss !..."

They both directly run to reach the chopper and looked at the crowd standing there. Aunty Lin and some of them covered their ears from the noisy, and other maids held their uniforms from chopper's wind. Dust and fallen leaves flew and scattered everywhere.

Aiden saw the pilot with the headset still on the ears get down the chopper and opened the passangerseat door.

A tall man, exremely handsome like an artwork, got down and walked towards her. Really attractive... He waved his hands to everybody and greeted them with his mighty and cold aura.

Aiden was breathless and speechless at the same time. Scoffed him many times in her heart. 'Really .. really a lunatic, phsycho, ill-manner, narcissistic-maniac creature from the hell. Why would't he pick me up just with a car...?'

Enrique stood in front of her face innocently and pulled her into his embrace abrubtly.

" I miss you so much Aiden..." His hipnotical voice floating aroud her ears and made her heart dropped drastically, heat burned over her body from nowhere.

Enrique gazed at the fair ears and slender neck of the girl inside his embrace became more reddened and rossy. Hmmm, looked so mesmerise. "Are you shy, my lady? ... Ready to fly with me?". .and without waited of her respond he suddenly dragged her to the chopper.

"Heey, I wore stilettos !!! Are youuuuu...." He cut her off impatiantly and lifted her up in a princess style toward the chopper.

Aiden "..."

"Enjoy your trip. All information you need in my hands now"....He smirked so playfull, and she gave him a deadly glare to swill away her embbarrase in front of the crowds.....
