Baldwin's Mansion
Author's POV
After stepping out of the shower, Blaze walked to his walk-in closet and stood in front of his wardrobe, wrapped in a white towel around his abdomen.
In the end, after examining all the clothes for a minute, he selected a black turtleneck and set it aside, paired it with a black pant and Boston cap toe lace up shoes, and finished off his look by wearing a black trenchcoat, a gold Rolex watch on his wrist.
The moment Blaze stepped down the stairs and entered the hallway, he saw Savannah entering the mansion. He checked his watch, and then turned back to Savannah who was walking towards him. "You're early?" he asked as she reached him
In all confusion, Savannah looked at Blaze after hearing the voice, not knowing why he was standing so close to her. It seemed she had lost her sense of direction, so she greeted him "Good Morning" and she realized that she had actually zoned out and was all in herself all the way to the mansion. "Any problem?" Blaze questioned her again as he sensed her absence of focus and her stress.
"No, everything's fine" while Savannah turned her eyes away from him, Blaze took a closer step towards her as a reflex Savannah stepped back an inch as she stared at him in shock at what had just happened. "Lie," Blaze said as he looked into her eyes, as if he could actually read her all and could actually see her naked right in front of his eyes.
"I just sa-" she got interrupted "I don't like when you lie to me" Blaze spoke something that was absolutely astonishing for Savannah, but not for Blaze's secretary who was standing behind Blaze as they talked, he knew what his boss was implying. "What do you mea-" Blaze cut her off again "Tell me what's bothering you Savannah?" he added "Let me help you" these were the words of wisdom for Savannah. She had always been the one who would help and save others, but she didn't realize she would actually get someone to help her, someone who would say this to her, so this sentence seemed like a dream to her. "Tell me Savannah," he said again, and the staring game began. No one spoke but just stared at each other's eyes like they were communicating in an eye language that they could only understand.
"Actually, I...," she stopped midway. Blaze appeared patient as he waited for her to calm down and form words, but let me tell you he isn't a patient man - he won't wait that long for someone to speak. In fact, he would rather leave since they had wasted time, and time is vital to Blaze. However he seemed totally opposite now.
"I wanted to talk to you about something" she finally said and Blaze waited, thinking she had more to say. "It's about moving." Just as Savannah finished her words "Do I have any important things to do at work?" he suddenly asked his secretary.
During his check of his boss's schedule on his iPad, Arthur stated "You have three board meetings to attend today only." Without wasting any minute "Let's go to my studies," Blaze told Savannah as he walked with her to his study room. Arthur was dumbfounded. His boss did not respond, which meant he had to cancel all of the meetings. He had worked long enough to know what his boss wants and got it and followed it accordingly in his Boss's favour.
Both sat on the couch of Blaze's study room, Blaze on the single one and Savannah on the double one, playing with her fingers, still nervous as she stared down at her feet. "Here have some water" Blaze said to her as he handed her a glass of water. Savannah took it and had a sip and then placed the cup back on the table to play with her fingers again, Blaze noticed it and watched Savannah but did not say anything, just watched her.
"I would like to live in this mansion," Savannha finally said after meeting Blaze's hazel eyes for 2 minutes. As Savannnah said this sentence, something changed in Blaze's eyes, something impossible to read or even comprehend, "Alright, I'll arrange everything for you." Savannah's eyes lit up with astonishment, "Are you really okay with this?" she asked. "Wouldn't it be uncomfortable for me to be around?" Before speaking, he leaned forward in front of Savannah and
"Trust me Savannah, I'm more than comfortable with you being around me" basically he whispered to her, Savannah who was already feeling bad about all these couldn't catch Blaze's sentence "I'm really sorry but I have no choice now Blaze, I get you understand this" Blaze smiled at her this time "Savannah?" he called her name in a way that made Savannah nothing but look at him, "Savannah, I'll do my best to ensure that you never feel sorry again." Giving her a smile that he never had before.
Savannah's Apartment
Savannah's POV
"Where are we moving mom?" Theo asked me as I was in the kitchen arranging things in the box for the move. "You'll know tomorrow, honey." Theo who arranged anime toys on the floor, asked me again "is it a surprise?" I stopped what I was doing and turned to him "No, I don't think you will like" and returned to my work, "Even so, we're moving, we have no choice"
Yes, it is the last day of the ultimatum, so regardless of what happens, we must move out and vacate the property. Whether I finds a place to live or stays on the streets, it doesn't matter, and I hasn't yet been able to find a single place for us, and nobody offered me a place to move in, which is still strange to me, or maybe it is a faith game. And I can't ever forget what Mrs. Kim did to me, I didn't imagined it in my life.
I agree that staying at the mansion will benefit me, but I think the people in the mansion will be inconvenient. However, since it is Blaze's house, no one has the right to interfere when the owner himself is allowing without any issues.
But I still feel like I'm burdening them with my problems. Well I have to move tomorrow with or without this feeling "Come on theo, hurry up, we have to get up early tomorrow" Savannah said as she looked at the clock in the living area which had just strikes 1 in the night, theo replied"Yeah mom, as you said". I hope tomorrow will be a new beginning for us.
