Chereads / Aberrant Adaline : Getting Mr Drew / Chapter 8 - Cecil Roland

Chapter 8 - Cecil Roland

They stepped out of the elevator when they heard the sound that indicated that they've reached their destination.

Justin totally forgot that Drew gave him something to do, he offered to give them a ride home but Phoebe refused because she was heading to a different place while Cecil was heading straight to the house.

Phoebe Roland was a dancer in a well known company, she was popular and loved by fans because of her sexual orientation and the fact she was lesbian and behaved like a boy made fan girls crazy about her.

She debuted three years ago and it didn't take her time to become a famous dancer and also with the fact that she was Justin's close friend was something that got people admiring her because Justin Bellomy the virgin Casanova barely kept a female friend close to him for a week not to say how long they've both been close friends but although she wasn't close to Mr Drew however, being close to his personal assistant was equivalent to being close to him and that was the only thing that irked her fans, after all, Mr Drew was a dirty heartless man, a psychopath and an ugly man, they didn't want anything tainting their idol but they were thankful that they've never seen her publicly with the infamous Mr Drew which was the total opposite in reality because she spends time with him as well as Justin in her spare time.

"What about you Cecil? Do you mind if I give you a ride home?"

He turned towards Cecil as he asked, she was just about to give her reply when Phoebe answered on time.

"I don't think she'll mind. Cecil, I think it's best you let Justin drive you home because we aren't going the same places and me driving front and back would be tiring and wasting of my time. You just got back from the state after studying for four years, you'll be needing someone to tour you around the city and you can ask him questions about the company to get yourself familiar with it. I'll be better isn't? Alright then, see you at home, bye."

After saying so many words without waiting for a reply from neither Justin nor Cecil, she left the both with a questioning look on their faces.

Justin stared at Phoebe's back as she walked out and was puzzled, it was so shocking that she said a thousand words in one goal, he could not help but wonder why she was eager to push Cecil to him but whatever it was, he was happy because he'll be able to spend time with her. At the thought of spending time with her, he began to question himself, why the hell would he want to spend time with someone he met just today, it was quite confusing but he decided to brush it off, maybe it was because she was beautiful and he liked beautiful things.

Though Cecil noticed her sister's abnormal attitude but she decided to shrug it off, maybe she's been like that lately due to so much work and her schedule was tight these days so she didn't ponder much on the matter.

Cecil Roland had been out of the state studying for the past four years with the help of Phoebe who had been supportive of her. The first two years in the university was hard because at that time, Phoebe was still struggling with her dancing career and Cecil had to take school loans in order to survive, she was almost on the verge of being sued by the school authority for owing them a huge sum of money but luckily for her, things changed in the beginning of the third year because Phoebe was on the second year of her dancing career and she started getting good payment, good enough to pay off the loans Cecil took from school.

"Alright miss Cecil, let's get going, this way please"

They both got to the packing lot under the intent stare of the workers, of course, why won't they stare, seeing the virgin Casanova with a pretty lady, another one. They would swear that in the next three days they will find him with a new girl and he'll dump this one but they were wrong because Justin Bellomy was so not thinking of letting Cecil Roland off but it was just that he hasn't discovered it yet.

Justin didn't need Cecil to give him the address to Phoebe's apartment because he had been there a number of times so he was well familiar with the place.

"The city looks more beautiful and different from when I saw it last, that was four years ago."

Cecil soft voice rang inside the silent car and made Justin turn towards her direction before turning back to look at the road.

"During those four years, you never came back for maybe a holiday or vacation?"

He asked her curiously, he wondered how someone could be away from the city he or she grew up in without bothering to make a visit at least, he heard her reply..

"No, it was because Phoebe never allowed it and I have no idea why but if I ask, she would say it was because she wanted me to concentrate on my studies, coming back home would make me not want to return to school again, according to her"

It was true, Cecil had always wanted to make a visit to the city but Phoebe would reject her and she obeyed without any second thought in mind.

"She must really care about you that she never wanted you to return back until your studies was over"

Cecil smiled brightly at Justin's words and that smile caught Justin's attention that he had to slow down the car to keep watching her smiles that made his heart somersault, but he heard the honking of other cars behind and it brought him back to reality, he sped up for other cars behind to move.

"Yeah, she does care about me too much. So, tell me something about your company."
