Shine Extra Large

THOUGHTS AND THOUGHTS.

Zachary's Pov.

It's been more than ten minutes since Ella left with Audrey. I don't really have a good feeling about this. I remember Audrey being there during the meeting. Did she hear everything!? I bit my inner cheeks thinking about it. Even if she did, she hates Ella to her guts. Ugh! This is too frustrating. The moment I got up to check, I saw Ella coming back. She had a very disturbed look on her, as if she is confused and frustrated at the same time. It's not a good sign. Even if she told Ella about it, I don't think Ella is gonna find any proof regarding my dad's dirty work. Maybe playing cool right now is the right decision, but I am more than curious what happened between those two. Maybe if we hangout, I can get some information out.
"Hey Ella wanna hangout?" I asked with all hope written on my face, but she refused and said she wants to go home. Maybe Audrey mistreated her again. I sighed. I don't understand when will she learn to stand up for herself and face Audrey. I helped her up and we both walked to my car. The car ride was silent. She kept looking out of the window aimlessly staring at the street . She wasn't fidgeting with the hem of her clothes or hair.

"Penny for your thought?" I asked, trying to grab her attention. She looked at me and sighed. "Be honest with me Zachary, does Archer really love me?" She asked, emphasising on the word Really. I nodded my head without hesitation because I have seen the sides of my brother after she came into his life. I might be hurt somewhere in my heart seeing her with my brother, but I guess we shouldn't keep hanging onto things which aren't meant to be.

She hummed at my response and went back staring outside the window. Soon I pulled over in front of her house. It was already late evening. She said her farewell to me and embraced me into a hug which I returned with a smile. Seeing her walk in her house maybe I should just rest. Dad and Archer are already busy with my brother taking over the company. He is going throw a party. A party for all the people he has fooled and betrayed to reach the sky. All I can hope is that the plan goes accordingly without any issues.

Eleanor's Pov.

Audrey's words kept lingering in my head. What is she isn't lying? Or maybe she likes Archer now so it can be one of her plans to take over him by splitting us ? Right!?

I don't know my heart isn't ready to be settled. Tomorrow is the carnival and I want everything to be perfect. I am already on the edge thinking about meeting mr. anonymous tomorrow. It's just such an over whelming feeling to meet him. He is going to be a complete stranger or maybe not a stranger. I small smile formed over my face thinking about the day when I read the note he left me in the book. Then our silly text and his scolding whenever I told him how depressed I felt when I saw other beautiful girls out there.

Suddenly I remembered my dad, but this time I wasn't in tears of happiness, but joy.

See dad, I am smiling today. I ain't crying anymore. Mom doesn't really insult me anymore. No one Billy's me anymore. I have found a man who loves me more. Maybe I am Extra large . A person who is being blessed extra large.

The next day came soon, but I was more than enthusiastic about it. I quickly dressed up and headed down to the kitchen to make breakfast. Since the carnival doesn't start until evening, I have plenty of time. Maybe I can just go and visit my office and prove Audrey wrong for once and for all, so maybe she can just stop bothering me and meddling in my business.

I wore a coat just for the effect that I am the boss. I know it's childish but yeah whatever. I looked at myself in the mirror being proud. I didn't really see myself as ugly anymore, I saw a woman who is being loved by all. I smiled at my reflection and headed out to my car until, I saw Mr. I am soo bust pull up in front of my house. He walked out of his car, looking as hot as he always does. With some flowers in his hand.

The moment his eyes met mine, his lips curved up. He kept walking towards me without breaking the eye contact and before he could hug me I whispered "Be gentle Mr. Kingstone" he laughed and embraced me in his arms and placing a soft kiss on my forehead.

"Where is my waify heading to?" He asked with the usual smirk on his face. But wait- Waify!?

"What's with the Waify?!" I asked raising my eyebrows in a playful manner and folding my hands over my chest.

"Am I wrong 'soon to be Mrs. Kingstone'!?" He smirked again this time earasing the gap between us.

"You are unbelievable!" I laughed out and he joined in.

"Anyways I came to pick you up for breakfast" he said taking my hands in his.

"I already had breakfast Archer and now I am heading to Geller Corp. Got some work there" I said checking the time on my watch.

"Geller Corp!? Why? Tell me what work you got,I'll get it done. Why are you going there!?" He said, massaging my knuckles.

I sighed and replied, "As the CEO, I have responsibilities as well. If I don't show up at all, your father will think I am an irresponsible one. I can't let him handle the company for long" I said. Well we decided that Mr. Kingstone, Archer's fatter will help me and guide me through my learning process.

"Don't worry, dad is fine" he said, but I kept denying. I don't know why he doesn't understand these things. Going there and checking up on things will make learn more about these things.

"I am going" I said turning towards my car.

"I SAID YOU CAN'T GO THERE ELEANOR!" Archer yelled. He raised his voice at me while banging his fist on my car, which makes it a little bend over the area. I was startled by his demeanor. I haven't seen him getting this frustrated and angry in a long while now.

I don't even understand why isn't he letting me visit my own company, why-

WAIT!

WHAT IF AUDREY'S WORDS WERE TRUE!?

WHAT IF I WAS ACTUALLY TRICKED INTO GIVING UP THE COMPANY TO KINGSTONE AND HENCE HE DOESN'T WANT ME TOGO THERE!?

I looked at Archer and he was breathing heavily, trying to calm himself down. I know he wouldn't let me go and check. Maybe I need to do something to escape this big guy.

Hey readers! Okay so first of all how have you guys been!? I know we are meeting after a super long time. It's just my first year in engineering is getting the best out of me. I barely sleep. Life is hard, but we need to be tough as well. So let's keep going❤️💫
