8 Jump off the building (1/2)
”Old James, I have to go somewhere!” Evelina then stood up from her bed. She decided to start her journey.
James worriedly asked, ”Miss, where are you going??”
”I'm off to somewhere where I can meditate myself. I'm finding my inner peace.” She replied as she faced him.
”Miss, you should not forget to ask for permission from your parents. I will instruct bodyguards to accompany you,” James said
”No need,” she replied nonchalantly.
James replied straightforwardly, ”Don't worry, miss. They will be in disguise,”
”I don't need them,” she didn't understand why the man in front of her, wouldn't let go of her.
”But miss—”
”I said stop!” She couldn't take it anymore. She was at her limit. She then added, ”If you wouldn't let me go, I'm going to tell everybody in the palace that you've taken a liking to that young maid, Judith!”
”Miss, don't be like this…I'm begging you please don't tell everyone!” James pleaded; he didn't want everyone to know his secret. 'If this would be exposed, I'd be doomed. They would think that I have a thing for young girls!'
She smirked and said, ”So you did admit it...Hehehe,” she grinned with an evil smile. She thought of using this as a threat in the future. 'So this is your weakness…hahaha'
James was speechless. He didn't know how to explain. He only hoped that the young lady wouldn't unveil the information to everyone. ”Alright, miss…you can go... I'll cover up for you.” He then added, ”By the way, miss, where are you going?”
”Looking for my man!” She replied with a huge grin. 'Just like that, old James will let me go? I can't believe how powerful love is'
'What? Young miss already has a boyfriend?' His jaw dropped. 'So, this is the 'inner peace' she's talking about?'
She was on her way to the bathroom and she still sensed someone was in the room. ”Old James, please wait for me outside. I do not wish you to see me changing clothes. Would you mind If I change clothes in front of you?” she said sarcastically.
”No…miss,” He stammered and immediately retreated from her room.
Minutes later….
She wore a Navy classic poplin shirtdress, that clearly emphasized her fair, porcelain-skin; it was paired with Ava pointed-toe slingbacks that had a floral print on it. Since it was a sunny day, she wore a limited-edition sunglass, that its hinge until its earpiece was decorated with beautiful sapphire and ruby stones. She bought it in the Kingdom of Topaz. Their dimension had five kingdoms— Ruby, Sapphire, Amethyst, Kunzite, and Topaz. Out of the five kingdoms, Sapphire was the wealthiest and largest country by area with a population of 700,000,000 people. She looked at her mirror, Alexi.
”Hey, miss… have you forgotten something?” Alexi asked. He smirked, didn't want to tell what was missing.
