J. Wintour is everyone's cup of tea.
Despite all the worldly pleasure, the pile of cash, champagne and diamonds, something is still missing.

"I'm sorry ms. Eccleston...we're afraid that we cannot allow you to go through with your lessons here...the school administrators have discussed about your situation and knowing your condition at the moment, there is no way you can afford to continue until your graduation... we already removed you from the list which only means that you should take your stuff and peacefully leave the school premises..."
I felt my whole body turn cold and numb. Even the teachers whom I thought to be quite fond of me have started ignoring me. People behind me whispering as I walked through the lavish hallways of St. Catherine school. I was in complete shock that I couldn't even cry.
I was escorted outside...and the moment I reached the huge parking lot, I cried... I didn't hold myself and let everything out. I walked away from the place where most of my plans and dreams were built.
I just wanted to finish school and be independent.

He uncomfortably shifted his weight.

I narrowed my eyes.
"What do you mean."
He shrugged and toyed his untouched food.
"Well...if she went to school today. She's out. She didn't have to go really. Pathetic I know but business is business. Actually-"
He flexed his muscles;
"Since that innocent little thing is helpless, I guess I can offer her some help...if you know exactly what I mean."
