TJL#19# Tale Of A Lonely Princess

Game

Eugene's POV

" You know you are the best, right?" Elyssa asked Hailey who just chuckled.

" I know girl. Don't get over excited." She said to Lyssa.

" I am just too proud of you. You made me so proud of you." She said hugging Hailey tightly.

" I know that as well." Hailey said.

Actually we were sitting in the living room talking to Hailey about her experience how she realized that she is special. I have never asked her about this experience of hers. I don't know if it was horrible or it was comfortable.

She is special. Very very special and gifted kid. But whenever someone says that she is special, he just says that she is not special. She is just a bit smarter than the other kids. That's true she is. She is way too smarter than her own age.

" You are very very talented. I still remember how you used to recite the whole periodic table when you were only 2. You used to play with those flashcards you remember?" Mom asked.

" A bit. My mom was too worried back then because I wasn't enough socialized. So, Mom and Rora used to fight. Rora wanted to keep me to her whenever mom used to show her worries about me and my advanced learning process." Hailey said and chuckled.

" Do you know you look similar to Hailey?" Mom asked.

" Yes, I saw her pictures. She was very cute. Dad told me about her. I swear he loved his sister to the end. Though I don't like the idea of getting the name after someone but I love the name Hailey because it's too close to everyone's heart in our family." She said. " After all she was Dad's sister and he loved her a lot. I know he loves me a lot as well and he finds his lost sister in me as well." She said.

" Hail Bail?" Ed said.

" Yes, Mundy boy." She responded and Ed rolled his eyes.

" If your aunt Hailey was alive then what would you be named?" Ed asked and I sighed. His weird question never ends.

" Umm, I don't know. I never have asked Mom and Dad about that. I will ask them soon when I go back home and let you know." Hailey and chuckling.

" Do you think your name would be Destiny?" Ed asked her.

" May be. I don't know." She said.

" Or may be Serenity." Elyssa said.

" Or may be Elsa." Hailey said chuckling.

" No, no, no, no, no. Elsa is my name." Lyssa said and I chuckled.

" Very well. I think my name would be Karlie or Karla something like that. Mom wanted to name the baby Karlie if it was a girl but here you go. It's a boy and then we named him Ayden." She said.

" And you are happy to be Hailey?" Elyssa asked.

" Of course. I am happy to be myself. Cause that's the most beautiful thing to be exact. I don't think I want to be anyone else but me. Because God thought I am the best like I am." She said.

Suddenly my phone started to ring. I picked it up cause it was the private detective Mr. Davidson. One of the most trustworthy employees for long back. May be there is something wrong.

" Hello, Mr. Davidson!!" I received the call.

" Eugene. Do you know that Mr. Sprouse is plotting against you? May be he has some motive." He said.

" What do you mean?" I asked him.

" He is trying to take the books down which were the most popular online published next month but as Irene refused to do that he fired her without any reason and then he hired some people without informing anyone. He is trying to manipulate the employees. You should check. I think you can handle it. There is no need to inform Theo right now. I will tell him later if it's very messed. But you please go and check the publishing house first. I am sure he is planning to do something big." He said.

" Hmm...call Irene and tell her to reach there. I will be there in awhile." I said and took my car's keys.

" Are you going somewhere?" Mom asked me. I nodded smilingly.

" Yes, going to the publishing house. It's been awhile you know?" I said to her.

" Ok, then. Go. Come back soon." Mom said.

" Sure." I said and walked out of the house.

I drove towards the publishing house and soon I reached there. I found Mr. Davidson with some other people.

" Here's Irene and the other loyal employees fired without any reason." He said and I nodded.

" Hmm...from how long is that going on?" I asked Irene.

" From long back, sir. But I couldn't inform you because Mr. Sprouse said you already know and have consent on this." She said.

" Let's go inside and talk to Mr. Sprouse in person." I said and I found Rodriguez standing outside of the building.

" What are you doing here?" I asked him.

" Ms. Kingsley is here. I came after her." He said and I nodded.

" I am going to talk to Mr. Sprouse. He is plotting against us." I said and his expression changed into a cold one.

" Do I have to empty my gun in his brain?" He asked me and I chuckled.

" Not that serious let's see if I can handle it peacefully." I said.

" Alright then. My men and I are here. Just give us a call if you need." He said.

" I am not 7 years old anymore." I said.

" Still." He said and I chuckled as I entered the building I found something in the lobby which made my worst rage get out of it's shell.

I found Crystal almost cornered by some guards and the receptionist was shouting at her telling the securities to throw her away from there. Like really?! Who appointed this mannerless girl!!!

" You are fired." I said and they turned to me.

" Mr. Roberts!!" She turned to me very surprisingly.

" You are fired. Get out of here before I burn you alive." I said. She stepped back.

" Call Mr. Sprouse." I said to the employees who were now there. Someone of them went to call him.

" Eugene, is this your publishing house?" Crystal asked.

" Later, Crystal. Please keep quiet for awhile." I said coldly and she gulped but luckily zipped up her mouth.

Let's teach Mr. Sprouse what the game is!!!
