Isabella pov
"If you want to work on the designs, why don't we go to Nick's chamber and find Oliver. You both can work there. While and Nick will discuss about the training.'' I frowned as they were taking it too lightly. Since this would be the first bracelet and jewels set on my na, I wanted it to be perfect.
'I still feel that working here, Where all the instrunts and jewels are available would be better, Abi '' she looked at and contemplated for a minute and then nodded.
"Alright. Then I will send Beth and ask brother Nick to bring Oliver here." she only trued when Beth bowed her head and left.
These days, she has changed completely, as if she was not the Abigail I know. I still rember how she had given stale food to eat as a welco gift and forced to swallow it in front of her friends. And from that day she had bullied continuously.
So, I have also started complaining and retaliating. Giving her snarky remarks and crying in front of her father to punish her. That was a matter of my survival after all. Though i knew they would never accept as the daughter of duke. I still wanted to live like a noble and marry in a higher noble family so that I did not need to worry all my life.
But these days.. I was still not sure if she really had a change of heart or she was acting. But if she honestly helped in restarting my father's business. Then I didn't care about anything else. I would make sure that I would be rich enough by myself to take care of my dowry and future life.
"Bella, Isabella" I blinked as I heard her calling .
"Ah, yes Abi" I asked , coming out of my thoughts when she looked at with a frown and then pointed at the adjacent sofa.
"They are already here, Bella, we were calling you since a while.'' Only then did I notice that Nick was sitting in front of with Oliver standing behind him with an annoyed face.
Sigh! This man always has an annoyed face!
"You have called for us?" asked Nick, looking at . When he noticed that my eyes stilled on Oliver more than necessary.
"Ah, yes. I was thinking that if we both can work on the design together. Then we can prepare jewels today. Since Abi is going to be sworn as knight soon, I wanted her to see the jewels before leaving.`` I replied with a smile but Nick frowned, though I know that he was not angry at , I still felt sweat forming on my palms whenever he looked angry.
"Leaving? Where is she leaving for? There is still 1 month before the opening of the academy." he asked with a frown, he looked at and then his eyes started creating holes in Abi who just laughed awkwardly!
'Oh dear! Did she not tell him!'
"Umm, his majesty has called , Nick. he has requested my father to let stay in the royal palace as their knight." The mont words left her mouth, Nick gritted his teeth.
"And you are supposed to live there alone? No! It is not safe. I will co with you." he said adamantly and I looked at him in awe. Though everyone thinks that Nick took my side. I know he was just worried that his sister would go the wrong way. That was why he tried to be strict.
If the sa mistake would be done by . He would just let the matter go by saying that 'do not repeat it in future, or be careful'
"Well, I think this decision is not in my hands. Why did you not go and ask father about it? 'Nick nodded and stood up from his seat.
"Then I am going to talk to father about it. Both of you sleep on ti and you." he looked sharply at Oliver, "my eyes are set on you. Listen to them and do not try to act smart ``I didn't even know what he ant by that. But i saw Abi shaking her head.
Once he went out, Abi looked back at , "so, why don't you both continue. I will not disturb you anymore. But if you need anything you can send soone to call anyti.'' I nodded as I really wanted to concentrate on work now. So, even she stood up and left.
The boy who was standing there silently ca and sat in front of with a deep breath making startled.
"Hey. what are you doing?" he tilted his head as he looked at with a shrug of his shoulders.
"Sitting. I was tired of standing all day.'' He said it so nonchalantly that I did not know how to reply.
"So, shall we start now?" he asked when i stayed silent for a while.
I nodded, though I wanted to be alone to work with more concentration, I never thought that it would be awkward to be with him alone in the room. Especially when the man was so confident and nonchalant. He was not behaving like a worker at all.
"Then tell , why do you need here?" he asked, tilting his head as he leaned on the sofa further. Suddenly I had a feeling that he was the master and I was the one working for him.
"Well, since the design is yours I wanted to know your opinion when I ford it. So that you can learn how to make jewels too. In future, you have to assist in the whole process" though i tried my best to sound confident. My words ca a little quivering the way he was looking at intently.
He nodded his head as he stretched, "then you should start, i will sit and observe you."
