INTERLOCKED: A JOURNEY.

15. ARRANGEMENTS.

15th November, 2016.
Maze Mansion.

        "WE'RE HERE FIFTEEN MINUTES early see?"

        "That's what I planned to." Snow smirked and Willow's cheeky grin changed into one of bafflement.

        "What do you mean?" he asked voicing his confusion.

         "I like being fifteen minutes early anywhere I go." She shrugged.

        He muttered something under his breath like; every time this girl speaks she always has to surprise me.

        The staff greeted them with warm smiles as they walked hand-in-hand.

        "People here have already taken a liking to you." Willow whispered in Snow's ear.

        "Not my fault, they just can't resist my charm." She winked.

        So true! He exclaimed to himself. Instead of voicing that out loud he grinned and changed the subject. "You've planned something, isn't it?"

        "Yes." she giggled. "Announce a day off to your staff please." She pleaded making the puppy face

"Damn you! Stop making those faces."

        "So even the CEO of THE GARNER ENLIGHTMENT can't resist my charm?" she smirked again.

Two can play the game.

        Willow's put on a blank expression. "Miss. Anderson do you think you're capable of wrapping me around your charm?"

        Snow didn't get this though. She had felt bold a while ago but as Willow's words sunk in she realized that she's nowhere compared to all the models and those high class girls who are capable of attracting him. She believed that he was actually serious but was saved from answering due to Lily's interruption.

"Hello Snow, nice to see you again."

        Snow walked over to her and pulled her into a warm hug muttering, "Nice to meet you too Lily."

        They pulled away and Lily turned towards Willow, "Sir should I bring some refreshments?"

        "No." He glanced towards Snow once and returned his gaze back on Lily, "You all have a day off today, announce it to everyone."

        Snow grinned, "Wait a second, this news doesn't end here. I have a plan. Tell everyone to go back home and rest for now, you can all come back by 6 p.m. sharp." She said in a commanding tone.

        "But Snow, will you not need any help? Guessing by your enthusiasm I can tell that you've planned something pretty big." Lily tried to offer some help.

        "Don't worry about that. I have it all under control, a day off means NO WORK AT ALL." Snow replied boldly.

        Lily just mumbled an "okay" and left. Within fifteen minutes the mansion was clear.

        "Now can I know what's on that mind of yours?" Impatience was clear in his voice.

        Since Willow had tried to play along and Snow had taken his question way too seriously, she hadn't met his eyes. After Lily's departure Snow had engrossed herself planning and making small notes. Willow noticed the change of behavior in Snow but couldn't understand why. He was curious to find out the reason but let it slip anyway.
