Chereads / Bride of Thaddeus / Chapter 33 - Who's returning?

Chapter 33 - Who's returning?

"Yes, indeed." Narcester nodded as he received the phone call.

Avyanna had already gone upstairs to rest herself as silence filled the house and only Narcester's voice echoed inside as he conversed with the person on the phone.

"You're going home? When?" he asked, surprised.

[You seemed surprised, Narcy…Yes, indeed I will return home though the time is unknown to me. Do wish me a safe trip home.]

The person on the other line chuckled, he had spoken his words in an austere manner yet though it seemed as if he was kidding. His tone of voice was hard to tell whether he is taking something seriously or may not do so.

"Shut up." he said and hung up the phone as he sighed heavily.

He went upstairs and entered his room.

He plopped himself down on his bed as he stared blankly at the ceiling and as he started to feel very heavy, he fell into a daze as he slept soundly the night. His tiring day was repelled after that one rest.

As the new day arose, the moon rotated around the other side of the Earth as also the sun was up in the skies of Greece.

The clock woke him as it spoke of the time, 7: 10 am. It awoke him as he looked at himself and breathed in and sighed after.

He looked at himself as he noticed that he wasn't able to change his clothes last night and scratched his head. Lazily, he stood up and went to the shower room.

The sound of the falling water produced by the shower echoed inside the bathroom, he continued to ruffle his hair as he performed to make them wet as the water drooped down from his body down the floor.

He went out of the bathroom as he slid himself into a new pair of clothes that Ms. Aetos prepared for her whilst he was in the shower.

It was a light blue long sleeve, partnered with a black necktie along with black socks and a black tux. As soon as he fully changed into his clothes, he went out of his room as he saw Avyanna wearing a white dress embroidered with pink petals flowers on the bottom side of the skirt.

The collar was V-shaped and the sleeves covered down until her elbow.

"Oh…g-good morning." Avyanna stuttered.

He smiled at her as he gave her a warm smile and greeted her day, "Good morning, Avie. How was your sleep?" he asked.

"It was good, thank you," she said as she tried to tie her hair.

Funny how Avyanna found herself irked after she had not been able to tie her hair as strands fell from her grip. It annoyed her so much that she scowled as she looked at the mirror situated outside the rooms. "Ugh!" she exclaimed with a groan.

"Esthetic." Narcester chuckled as he whispered to himself.

Slowly, he footed towards her and reached for her hands. "Here, let me," he spoke.

Avyanna slowly lets go of the hair tie as she places her hands down making her hair slide down her back. Narcester gently touched her hair as he formed it into a bun and finally tied it. Avyanna was amazed as she saw herself in the mirror as it was astoundingly beautiful.

"H-How were you able to do so?" she asked as she stuttered which told of her amazement.

"I used to tie Dana's hair when she was young," Narcester said as he smiled. Avyanna couldn't help but stare at the mirror, Narcester who was behind her stared endlessly at the same scene as he spoke, "See? You were always so beautiful." he smiled.

Avyanna's eyes twinkled with happiness as she spoke with glee, her eyes confiding in it.

"Thank you."

"It is an honor, my Avie." he smiled.

Avyanna went downstairs as she gleefully went to the kitchen to eat. Narcester chuckled as he followed downstairs.

After the meal, Avyanna prepared herself as she was to visit the resort. Narcester gave her a warm smile before leaving the house earlier than him. His eyes glimmered as they tell how proud he is of her as she is so hardworking.

As he went inside the studio after arriving, Narcester found himself in a heavy atmosphere around the building.

The staff was focused on work as their brows creased and their eyes shivered. Narcester wondered. His staff isn't that scared of him that even their core shakes but it is like their lives depend on it if they speak.

They trembled and would immediately run away before they could meet him. Myrto was baffled as he tailed behind Narcester closely. By the corner, a couple of female staff shattered and whispered to each other as they tried to hide their faces from him.

He slowly approached him and slid his hands into his pockets as he spoke, "What is going on here?" he asked.

"S-Sir, good…morning." the other stuttered and the other was unspoken.

"I'm asking you…" he paused, he averted his eyes on the name tag the female staff had on her chest as he continued the cut-off speech he had.

"...speak, Ms. Alexopoulos, answer my question. What is going on here? Why are you all behaving so strangely?" He repeated his question.

"S-Sir…I guess it's better if you approach your office, a guest just arrived," she replied.

Though he was confused, he was curious, immediately he paced towards his office as he got closer and closer, he had gotten a familiar feeling and it is chaining him down.

He had a hunch about what is the cause, more like, who is the cause for this strange behavior of his employees. In a rush, Narcester pushed the glass door of his office as he saw someone sitting on his chair as it faced the view of the city from the glass pane that overlooks it.

He scowled as he spoke, "What are you doing here?"

Slowly, the seat turned as the man stood and rested both his palms on the desk as he snickered.

He has golden-brown hair and green eyes. He was wearing a blue striped tux with a white shirt underneath.

"Hello, brother."
