Charles' POV
"Good night, Mr. Mercuer." Ellery said before she slammed the door in my face.
What a rude person she is. We might have to discuss manners soon.
As I walked to my car, my phone started buzzing. I checked the caller ID before picking up. It was Chandler, my brother.
"Chandler. Hey man, what's up? I'm about to head over to the bar right now."
"You don't have to go anymore. Apparently Krystal got sick at dinner and Aaron had to go somewhere saying it was urgent. So it's off."
"Okay. I'll talk to you later. Bye." I replied.
"Bye. Talk to you later."
I got in my car and was about to start it when I saw Ellery coming out of her apartment carrying of what seems to be a guitar or something. That's when I thought of following her. I was curious as to what she was doing, going out right now with a guitar. Plus it was a Friday night and I had nothing to do now, by the way, no. I am not a stalker. That sounds like something a stalker would say, but I'm not. I have nothing else better to do.
Ellery got in her car and drove away, I started my car and followed her.
After a while, she stopped at a nursing home. Queens City Nursing Home. Ellery got out of her car and went into the building. So naturally, I went in after her after a few minutes. Just when I stepped through the entrance way, music stared playing from somewhere. It was beautiful piece.
I followed the sound of the music and arrived in a room filled with people, old people. After all, it is a nursing home.
The music that was playing on the stage was magnificent and almost magical. I followed the sound of the music and then my eyes landed on Ellery. I was surprised that it was Ellery, surprised at the skill of a person who never even went to a decent college. Her playing was truly amazing; I am quite taken aback to be honest. If only she was as good at playing the cello as she does her job than I wouldn't have to be so rude to her all the time. She makes simple mistakes that can be fixed with small instructions.
Her piece ended with almost everyone standing on their feet clapping happily. She got off the stage and a ran girl ran towards her enclosing Ellery in a tight hug. The girl that hugged Ellery must have been friends with her because of their familiarity with each other.
Ellery and her friend were conversing about something, and then suddenly the girl in the blue dress pointed at something in my direction.
What is she pointing at? I couldn't hear what they were saying over the piano and violin playing on the stage, and they simply, were too far away. Then I realized they were pointing at me. I started walking towards a ill looking Ellery and her friend.
"Miss Aires, fancy meeting you here."
"What the hell are you doing here?" said Ellery.
"You two know each other?" Ellery's friend said.
"Miss Aires, aren't you going to introduce me to your lovely friend here?"
"Why the hell should I?" She replied, glaring at me.
"Please disregard her behavior. She doesn't meet good looking people often." She said as she reached her hand out for a handshake,"my name is Holly Hogan and I have been Elle's friend since high school."
"Hello, it's nice to meet you. My name is Charles Mercuer and I am Ellery's boss." I said.
"Did you f*cking follow me here?"
"Miss Aires, I would advise you to not use that kind of language."
"You don't get to advise me to do anything, stalker. Now, goodbye." And with that Ellery picked up her instrument and left hastily.
Stalker? Stalker? Me?!
Oh, Miss Aires, game on.
