"Dinner would be ready by 6".Leyla heard her mum call out from the living room
"Kay".she replied, dragging her tired body upstairs. Immediately she got upstairs,she went to the bathroom and turned the tap on letting it fill the bath
After removing her clothes,she got inside and just let herself soak in there for sometime
"Ahhh".Leyla sighed with relief.
She started remembering all what happened at school including what happened this morning
As the thought came to her mind,her cheeks turned beet red again. Thankfully,there's no one to see it
His face was so close to hers,she could almost taste his breath
All these thoughts swirled in her mind, including the what ifs and buts.
After a while,she got up and dried herself.She almost forgot about her homework
"I wonder what meeting she had to attend to". Maximus thought to himself
He was not enjoying his punishment in the least.He had to forfeit his phone and his training time was increased by ten minutes
"Thinking of her makes it more bearable in a way".Maximus mumbled.
He was on his bed,lying upright and facing the ceiling
"I think she likes me".He said aloud
"does she?".He questioned himself
"Maybe".What does that mean,I'm not sure if I like her or not.This is confusing
"young master,Dinner is served".One of the butlers said
"ok,I'll be down in a minute".I reply,dragging myself off the bed.Today,dad is meeting with some old and stinking rich friends so we all have to be on our very best behavior.I hurriedly wore my suit and knotted my tie.The rest I wore beforehand.
I trudged downstairs slowly wishing I was so slow that the whole dinner would pass by before I arrived at the table but that's just wishful thinking.
The table was decorated even more than the norms which was a given,even the flowers were changed .I took my seat on the empty table,I was the first to arrive.Dad was probably outside ushering them in or they've gotten carried away by the good old days
"Young master".A butler greeted as he picked up a stray thread from the table cloth.I nodded my head as a reply
"Hold on".I said, stopping him.He slowly turned back,his face pale white like he'd seen a ghost
"what is your name?".I asked amusedly
"Carter sir".He responded after a few seconds
"Carter".I repeated the name
"carry on".I dismissed him and he dashed out of the room without a second thought
"What a funny guy".I said chuckling
I heard another chuckle but this was more.It was like three throaty laughs combined
"Here we go".I muttered silently as I stood to greet
"sir Garrison"
"Sir Boyle"
I nodded my head to show respect.They reciprocated in return
"My second son maximus".My father gestured to me
