Awkward....
Now that Killian had brought the sobbing female, who had bundled up herself at one corner of the car, into the car, he was at loss for what to do,
It was the first time he was at loss for what to do..
He had handled many tough contracts and convinced even the toughest buisness, he even cajoles him mum quite easily but why was this girl confusing him.
An ice cream truck passed by and he remembered his niece who was 7 year old always wanting ice cream when done crying so he pulled open the car door.
Looking at the many different flavours, he chose one of each in a to-go cup getting back into the car, he picked the red looking one handing it to her first.
Velvet felt the cool wetness near her arm and looked up to see an emotionless face handing her ice cream..
She stared at him silently but finally relented, she was dehydrated afterall.
"Why.. why we're you crying" Killian oddly asked.
Velvet paused with her tongue glued to the ice cream sitting on a cone as the depressing thoughts evaded her mind again.
"You can tell me, I'm bored and mot busy anyways, just treat it as a way to vent" he shrugged trying to sound as u concerned as possible.
The driver who was aware that Killian was o his way to a meeting silently raised the partition before he would absent minded gasp in shock when next his boss lied with a straight face.
Velvet looked at him doubtfully, but the familiar stuffy feeling in her chest would only be gone once she told someone and Prima was too far to contact.
Skipping the parts of her childhood and only mentioned being black,mailed but didn't mention with what, she told him everything g else as brand new tears fell unto her icecream which she insistently finished,
He thoughtfully handed her another one letting her vent fully.
Being a buisness man who learnt all his life to read between the lines, he was the only one that fit into her story as the man she had being blackmailed with.
His eyes narrowed as a dangerous glint appeared in them but it was soon gone, the face recovered it's usual tranquility like those weak emmotions were just and illusion and was never really there.
" I'm planning to resign from my job, ha! Even if I did'nt my dads wouldnt let me keep it either" she sighed.
"Come work for me " Killian sayed abruptly making Velvet turn to him so fast that not having a whiplash would be a miracle.
"I'm not even done with design school" she muttered incredulously, she was done with colledge but couldn't afford design school.
"Not as a designer..... be my bodygaurd" Killian said dispelling her thoughts.
Velvet's brows scrunched up " bodyguard, your an army general"
"Those skills don't help in driving the media do they" he said with a smirk, Velvet remembered his utterly digystedface when he weaved through the media and into he banquet back at Serena's welcome party and finally realised why he really needed one.
"I'll pay you, how bout this... you work for me for 3 years, instead of paying you the full amount, I give you a Grant card, accommodation and fund your 3 years of fashion and design school, during that time, all the designs you create would me under my name, after that, I give you a little head start then.... you'd manage on your own" he said before turning to her.
It was all too good to be true, a Grant card is a card that allows you to spend anny amount under the limit of $500,000 in any grant store all over the world!
Well, considering she would be his guard for the times she wasn't in design school and all her designs would belong to him for three years, it was considerably balanced.
Her accommodation problems were instantly solved.
It felt like the heavens were finally smiling down on her
Velvet's eyes widened " ... you aren't doing this with any hidden intentions, are you?" She finally said, her doubt probing in her head.
"I'll draft up a contract if you want, I owe you a few favours afterall, but I must warn, i'm not a complacent boss"
"thanks so much! You do all the contractish stuff, buisness bores me, don't worry, I've taken care of pregnant women so you are small fry"
Killian looked at her ammused, did this girl just compare me to a pregnant woman?!
Velvet's eyes curved into crescent as her lips morphed an earnest smile, this bug guy seemed emotionless and all, but in true fact, he was warm enough to call a friend.
She did the first thing she taught of.... grabbed this bug guy into a bear hug.
She starred at him with gratitude, she didn't even noticed when jer seemingly endless tears were all gone... talking about tears,
She must look horrible with hair ruffled by the wind and tear stains and even smugged lipstick from when she dried her tears with her hands.
Oh no! "See you on Sunday " she said simply, grabbingthe paper cardboard before pushing open the car door and running across the street, but she soon came running back remembering all the beautifull ice cream flavours, she grabbed the bag, gave him a smile then ran back across the street.
Driver who was so shocked, his eyes circled ".....?!"
Killian who was hugged abruptly and whose ice-cream was stolen ".....?!"
[Chibi Vel: what?! It's not like the big guy takes ice cream, I was saving it from impending doom!]
[Authour: ( - _ - ) this girl can't get anymore shameless, can she? ]
