Ellen Whitmore’s POV
For the nth time my phone started buzzing and I ignored. God, whosoever was disturbing me was going to face my wrath if it isn’t for a good reason. I didn’t even look at the caller ID. I assumed it to be that nicompoop Daniel. He’s the one who keeps disturbing me asking about the plan and stuff.
Finally my phone stopped buzzing. I sighed.
I really need to relax right now.
I buried my head more into the chest of the guy I hooked up with. We met at a party tonight and I so wanted to release my stress. It’s been a while since I got laid now.
As soon as I started to drown in my unconsciousness my fucking phone started buzzing again.
Irritated, I got up and grabbed my phone which was lying on the nightstand.
Mr. Reynolds?
Okay this is so unexpected. I glanced towards the time.
12:37 a. m
Why the heck Mr. Reynolds is calling me so late? Without giving it much of a thought I swiped the screen and answered the call.
“Mr. Reynolds?” I asked.
“Hello Ellen. Sorry for disturbing you so late.”
“It’s fine Mr. Reynolds. What made you call me this late?”
“Well, I’ve been thinking about the plan you told me. Umm… and I think I’m up for it. I cannot let my company’s heir runaway from his responsibilities. Besides I’ll do anything to keep my son to myself.” he replied from the other side of the line
Although I was squealing in happiness inside, I didn’t show it. Not even on the phone. The last thing I want is to show Mr. Reynolds how much I want Raymond for myself.
I took a deep breath to calm my excitement and replied
“That’s very well Mr. Reynolds, I’ll help you in any way I can.”
“Sure Ellen. Documents will be ready by tomorrow. I will sent them to your house and then you can carry your work from there. I hope you know what you have to do?” he asked.
I can’t believe he asked me this. God, he’s such a dumbo. I was the one who proposed this plan to him and this asshole is asking me whether I know my part or not. He’s too blockhead for a scientist.
” Yes Mr. Reynolds. I am well aware of my job. Thank you for giving it a shot.” I replied.
“Ahh.. cut the formalities Ellen, instead I should thank you. You are helping me in securing my Company’s Future. This means a lot. Thank you.”
“It’s nothing Mr. Reynolds.” I replied with a smile on my face. No one take what’s mine. This should be a good lesson for miss goody two shoes.
I don’t care what his fucking company does. I am least interested in it’s future. All I care about is Raymond and me.
Sophie Esinberg’s POV
Finals are coming!
It’s hardly any time left. Well, okay it’s almost a month left for preparation but still. There is so much course to do and so little time is left. Gish, I have no idea how will I manage it.
What if I don’t get the scholarship I applied for. Well shit, I cannot let that happen. Mom has been saving money since a year now but I know I’ll require more. Well I got some money when I won The Intern Award months ago but still even if I include them, we’ll be short of money.
I have to get that scholarship. That’s it.
I glanced at the watch.
1:25 p. m
Raymond and I decided to meet at the library at 1:30. It doesn’t matter that Raymond and I are in a relationship now, I still teach him almost everyday. I help him with his assignments, his homework and also prepare him for his tests.
Football scholarship is very important for Raymond and to get that it is necessary for him to get good grades in academics also.
Meanwhile, I took out a novel and started reading it. Someone tapped on my shoulder, I glanced upwards to see who it is.
Ellen?
She hardly talks to me. Why is she here?
“Yes?” I asked, my eyebrows scrunched up.
“Ummm… Mrs. McLaurly sent this. It needs your signature right here.” She said pointing towards the space on the sheet.
“Umm… is it regarding the scholarship?” I asked.
“Yes. It is.” She replied.
Without giving it much of a thought, I signed the document and gave her a half smile. While she didn’t even reply to my gesture. In one swift turn she started walking out of the Library while her heels made clicking sound causing everyone to glance towards her.
Weird.
1:45 p. m
Still no sign of Ray. Getting frustrated I stood up and went to the Science books section. I started finding help books so that I can give Ray extra questions to practice from and for his revision sessions. Suddenly I felt a pair of hands on my waist.
I didn’t have to think once for who it was because as soon as his body made contact with mine, my body started to relax under his touch. He feels like home.
