May took out her phone and called Sebastian, pressing her ear to the phone as she turned back to glance at Emma at the sound of the phone ringing. "Sebastian... send guards to watch over Emma," May said, her voice was weaved with exhaustion. She sighed before ending the call and began walking, Callex following behind, "Callex, just stay over at ours today and make sure to take care of the security system, Saphire doesn't know how to do it," May stepped into the elevator and Callex followed, "Why? Where are you going this late at night?"
"I'm going to come back here and watch Emma." Callex was slightly confused before he heard a ding and the elevator door opened, "No. Just sleep tonight at your house, and then come back in the morning. I'll come with you, too." May stopped walking briefly and turned to Callex, and hummed, "I guess." Callex sighed in relief, seeing that May didn't have the energy to argue anymore.
Sebastian drove up the sidewalk, May entering in the backseat and Callex followed right after. Ahead of them, Callex can see Saphire and Eric enter a red sports car, before they drove off. May's car was being driven away by another one of her bodyguards. May had her head leaned to the window, eyebrows furrowed as she sighed in the thought of all the paperwork that she still had to finish.
Saphire also sighed in the other car as it drove off ahead. "What's wrong?" Eric asked, gripping her hands as she looked to him before leaning her head slowly on his shoulder, letting his large, warm hands pat her head slowly and play around with her hair while she played with his fingers adorned with rings. "Today's events.. it's going to engage us in a war." Eric turned around in surprise, "Who and who?" "Us and his company partners." Eric hummed, thinking. "Well either ways, we'll be on your side."
The car arrived and Sebastian turned back, glancing to May who was asleep before signalling to Callex and Callex opened the door, before going to May's side and gently waking May up. May shrugged the touch away, but opened her eyes. She saw Callex, before throwing her feet out he door to touch the ground and Callex helped her around, before closing the door and Sebastian drove off to put the car away in the garage. "May," Callex called, watching as May rubbed her eyes confusedly and took out her keys, opening the door.
Saphire also got out the car with Eric carrying her, her head rested on his shoulder while her hands hung free around his neck. May opened the door and they all entered, the lights immediately lighting up while a robotic woman's voice greeted them, "Lights, on. Doors, lock. Welcome home, Saphire, May." May answered back, "Dim the lights, Sothia. Turn on the security lock." May said, taking off her shirt, revealing her tank-top underneath and once again, the robotic voice replied. "Okay. I have dimmed the lights and turned on the security lock. Is there anything else you need?" "No need."
May sighed before throwing her shirt down onto the couch and led Eric up to Saphire's room while she led Callex to his own guest room. May entered her personal office and locked herself in.
Saphire opened her eyes, seeing the pale moonlight bleed through her opened curtains while a gentle breeze blew open the cloth. Eric had his arms wrapped around her, half naked while his shirt hung neatly on the chair propped in front of her working table. She lifted her upped body, glancing around to realize she was in her room and quietly exited the bed. Saphire glanced at his shirt before wrapping it around her body and buttoned up all the buttons, letting the shirt drape down to her mid-thighs.
She slowly climbed to the bed again, dropping down onto Eric and hearing him let out a gentle grunt. "Eric.. Eric." She called out gently right next to his ear and he twitched, opened one eye before seeing who it was and letting out a gentle smile. He threw his arms around her once again and flipped them over, crushing Saphire under him. "Hey.. what's up..?" He asked in his deep groggy voice and Saphire grunted, trying to push him off her. "I'm hungry.. Eric, let's go steal some snack.." She said and Eric was silent for a while before grunting and pushing himself off her, trapping her under him. "Then let's go.. since you're hungry," He smiled and placed his arms under her legs and her waist before carrying her bridal style out the room and down the stairs, into the kitchen.
The lights immediately turned on and he placed her gently on the counter, seeing her legs swing around. He smiled seeing her wear his shirt as Eric walked closer and pressed his forehead against hers, letting her arms wrap around his shoulder to wrap them together in a little hug. "You're wearing my shirt hm..?" She hummed back in reply, "I'll forgive you stealing my shirt this time, since you look good in it.. What do you want to eat?" Eric said, holding back and Saphire leaned in, sniffing gently as his neck before responding, "I wanna eat ramen." Eric hummed before walking off, asking where the ramen was before cooking.
Saphire sighed in content, watching him cook while smiling before he turned back and also let out a little grin in response. After a while, they could hear footsteps approaching and Saphire turned around, seeing Sebastian looking at them in shock. They looked like they just had a fun night, with messed up hair and Saphire in his oversized shirt while he was half naked. "Boss.. has restricted you from sneaking out in the kitchen," Sebastian said, eyes twitching in discomfort at the thought and Saphire giggled, before pressing her hands together, "Hehehe... don't tell May." She said and Sebastian closed his eyes before pretending to turn around, "Just.. hurry up and don't let Boss catch you." Saphire giggled before Eric turned off the heat. "Let's go up your room and watch k-dramas.. yeah?" Eric said and Saphire nodded, jumping off the counter before following him up the stairs.
