  Dedicated to TatyanaNakia for giving me my first comment!                                            

                                                                 EUGENE'S POV

A day had passed and I was still thinking of Arabella's rejection. Weird

Right now I stood in front of a skyscraper with dad wondering what I was doing there in the first place

"So why are we here dad?" I asked

"This is where we will be working Eugene, what else did we come to this country to do apart from work?"he replied

I sighed and said,"Okay, which floor is our office?"

He looked at me as if I was crazy

"You hired the whole building?"I asked incredulously

"Of course not, I bought the whole building" he answered

It's official, my father is insane.

"What the heck possessed you? You bought the whole building?!"

"Watch your tone, young man, I am not just your father i'm also your king!"

"Yeah sure, whatever"I shrugged and entered the building

"Eugene, I do not like the way you act towards everything" he said

"yeah well, we don't always get what we like" I replied

"What happened? You were not like this. I understand that Magnolia hur-" he began

"Don't you dare talk to me about that scheming little witch!!" I cut him off, angry. I heard someone gasp and I turned and saw the girl who has been on my mind for... how long?

"Arabella" I said, shocked. I expected her to be at school or something

"Ah, you are hear already. "dad said "Good, your punctuality is commendable."

"Care to explain?" I turned to dad

"I had her skip school to show you around. I knew that you would not stop working once you started so, take a break in advance" He answered

"What did His Majesty mean by' you would not stop working once you started'?" Arabella asked a few minutes later in the limo.

"I'm a bit of a workaholic." I explained

A frown formed on her pretty face. "How old are you?"

"17" I answered

"And you are already a workaholic? That's bad, imagine how worse it'll be when you grow older! Do you know all the stress received from working too hard? And you are just 17! You'll get sick for sure and-"

"Arabella" I cut her off, amused "It makes me happy to see how you actually care about me" she rolled her eyes " But," i continued," my people need me... and I'll rather work than remember" i added the last bit quietly

"I guess it has to do with.... her... but you can't leave your life in resentment because of her"

"How much do you know of this 'her'?" I asked curious to find out what she had learnt from the tabloids

"Just that she's a scheming little witch, like you said"

"So you didn't look me up?'

She blushed light pink when I said that and I smirked
