The morning ca and before anyone could make a sound in the Vila, Daniella's voice roared, startling all the maids who were busy cleaning around.
"Selena! Don't make co upstairs!" she yelled angrily. They're almost late for school and Evan and Matthew had left for office yet Selena hasn't co downstairs.
When she didn't get any reply, Daniella hastened upstairs with a frown on her face.
She pushed the door opened with a bang, her eyes scanned the room but Selena was not anywhere.
Narrowing her eyes, Daniella went to the bathroom when she heard Selena's weep.
Huddling in the bathtub with her wet uniform was Selena, her arms were wrapped around her legs while tears were streaming down from her eyes like she lost soone.
Concern flashed in Daniella's eyes as she watched Selena turned to look at her.
"It's painful," the little girl's voice was weak and frail like the vapor of a vale.
Daniella's feet rushed towards the tab and squatted on the floor, "What's wrong?" she asked.
Selena sniffed and lowered her sight to her legs, "I am bleeding."
Hearing it, Daniella flashed a smile in relief. Then she nodded with understanding and got up.
Her hand moved to grab the towel from the rack and handed it to Selena.
"Take a quick shower and dry yourself, wait for ," saying that she rushed out of the room.
After being left alone, Selena took off her uniform and cleaned herself. A strange feeling of pain was overflowing her body, she had heard that it's normal for a girl to go through this process but she was not expecting the strange pain.
Soon, the door was pushed opened once again though this ti it was opened normally, Daniella handed her the pad and a pair of pajama and later left her alone.
anwhile, Daniella sat down on the bed and waited for Selena, when the girl ca out, she flashed a smile and asked her to lay on the bed.
And as the girl did, Daniella lay next to her and let her lay her head on her arm.
Selena felt the warm of Daniella's body, and it strangely soothing her pain, even the sweet vanilla sll coming from her has made her eyelids heavy.
After so hours, Selena woke up, she rembered sleeping hugging Daniella but their position shifted, Daniella was now hugging her like she's a pillow.
When she's about to remove Daniella's leg on her stomach, the woman woke up.
"Your awake," Daniella said in between her yawn.
"no, I am sleeping," she blurted sarcastically, "See, my eyes are closed!" she continued closing her eyes.
She heard Daniella laughing, then she got up and stood next to the bed.
"Get changed, we are going sowhere," Daniella ordered, though this ti, her voice was as sweet as the vanilla sll lingering in the room.
"Where are we going?" her eyebrows creased deeply as she asked.
Before reaching for the doorknob, Daniella turned to look at Selena, "we are going to visit your mom's grave."
Like an icy wave, a swift and tragic impression swept through her, she hasn't visited her mom's grave since she died, she just can't do it without crying.
--
At the Su Building.
With a grave like expression, Evan stared at the woman in front of him, Jenna Marcus.
"Due to the Island Bank Policy, the latest we can sell our shares would be after six months," saying that she handed the folder with the policy of the competitor's bank.
Evan took it and handed it to Glen.
"If you want it earlier, I will have to ask Daniella to change the policy."
From reading the doc.u.nts, Glen looked at Jenna, "even though Daniella will own the 50% of the shares, it won't give her enough authority to change the policy," he stated with a serious face.
"When did you start calling her Daniella?" Evan suddenly asked frowning at him.
Glen rose a brow, "she said I can call her that, what's your problem?"
Evan ignored him and turned his frowning face at Jenna.
Seeing that the two n in front of her have quieted down, Jenna spoke, "Daniella has a way to get what she wants," with confidence, Jenna t Glen's confused eyes, "once the news about Lumax and Island Bank partnership is publicized, so of the Su Financial Bank clients will switch over," as she said that her eyes had turned to Evan.
"Your stocks will fluctuate."
Evan nodded, rested his back against the couch with arms over his stomach, "do you have the nas for those clients who want to switch?"
Jenna took in a deep sigh; she has the nas of those clients which Daniella gave and confird but for a mont she hesitated whether to give it to him or not. Daniella has been doing a lot of favor for Evan and it made her confuse and worry, the last thing she wanted was for Daniella to get disappointed if ever Evan suddenly changed his mind and leave her.
To her view, Evan Su is a businessman. The person who would do everything for his company's sake.
Despite the heavy feeling weighing her heart, Jenna handed him the paper with nas in it.
"Would you like the buy the shares soon or could you wait six months?
Evan accepted the paper and quickly ran his eyes over the nas, "what do you think Ms. Marcus?" he asked and lowered the paper down to the table; he could see the doubt sparkling in her eyes.
Jenna was taken aback by his question, why would he ask for her opinion when they were having a conversation about his company. If it was for her, she would ask him to wait for six months but Daniella was her boss so she would need to think of what her boss would do in this kind of situation.
So, she took a deep breath and smiled, "I think Daniella would prepare to settle everything soon."
Evan nodded by her reply, "Understood. I want it next week then," then he got up and stretched a hand.
But Jenna didn't move, stunned by the deadline he gave, "next week?" she asked in surprise, "I doubt we can make it!"
Evan plastered a lopsided grin, "your boss told this morning that she's bored, I think she'll be thrilled to hear about the deadline."
Hearing that, Jenna smiled and accepted his hand, "I understand," she nodded, "I guess I will have to prolonge my stay her until we finished the transaction."
"You can stay at the Villa if you want," Evan offered as he withdrew his hand from her.
With exaggeration, Jenna shook her head, "no thank you. I'd rather sleep in the street," and then she let out a whimsical laugh.
