Chance

Chapter 19 - Boxes

Sylver drove home the next morning. As per her instructions, Adam's belongings were sent to her house. She rushed through the front door, her eyes desperately moving around the door in search of the boxes.

Stella comes into the room.

"Where were you?!" she demands. Sylver seems to ignore her question. Maybe she did hear it, but she didn't have the time to answer.

She left a note for Adam too, saying that she'll be back before dusk. She only hoped that he bothered to read it. She noticed that she'd always leave people notes these days.

"Where are the boxes?"

Stella looked annoyed now. She grabbed Sylver by her shoulders and ask her to stop for a minute. But she couldn't. She didn't have the time.

"Where are they?!" Her eyes glowed with anger and she almost spat these words at Stella. She never did this to her. She was far too high in her eyes. She was almost ashamed of herself for a moment but it dismissed itself pretty quick.

Stella looked hurt. "They're here, ma'am."

She almost never called her that. Sylver was not in the mood to be upset over this. Her mind was too preoccupied.

Stella led her to the guest room which was filled with boxes of things. Books, electronics, posters, clothes, and other things. She ordered the other servants to fetch her several suitcases. They did so, immediately.

She ordered another one to pack everything in the suitcases. Then she rab up to her room. She stopped for a minute in from the door. The blue door. The one she saw in her dream.

When she was travelling in her astral body.

She shook the though off and rushed in. She took a few more bags from under the bed and packed things she needed like clean clothes and fresh underwear and more of this and that.

She collected her chequebook and grabbed the bags and rushed downstairs.

"Are y'all done?" she bellowed. She was in a hurried and anxious fit. She had no time.

"Here you go, ma'am."

Stella didn't dare look at her eyes. She counted the bags and gave her a quick review of the situations that have arose in her absense. Sylver dismissed it and told her to contact her lawyer if anything happened. She asked them to not call Adam's mum under any circumstances without prior order.

The others boarded all the bags into Sylver's car. As she rushed out, she could've swore she saw a tear on Stella's face. She looked back and saw her look up. She nodded her head. Stella stood up straight.

And with that, Sylver was gone.

Stella stood at the road and saw her car disappearing into the horizon.
