Chapter 3 Next day

After she left, Elliot was thinking about what he had just seen. He couldn't believe Lucy was pretty like this. He went out immediately because he couldn't control the kind of thought he was getting about her already. He called his childhood friend Baron. They met at their usual spot to drink expensive wine and chitchat. He explained everything to him. Baron suggests he stay away from the maid for a while to see something. He agreed to that and see if it would work for him. He thanked him and left home.

That night Lucy was wondering where he went because he hadn't taken his usual coffee and not eaten anything either. She went to his room and didn't see him there. After he came back he went straight to his room and pondered over what his childhood friend said. Being lost in his thoughts, he heard a knock at the door, only to open it to see the person he less expected to see now. Lucy was about to open her mouth when he asked her to leave and that he was not hungry. She left for her room and thought of what just happened. He felt guilty for what he had just done because he knew he couldn't avoid her. Lucy woke up still pondering over the issue. She even lost focus and cut herself when she was chopping the vegetables. Elliot was coming to the kitchen when he saw what had just happened to her. He immediately went for the first aid box and dressed the wound. Asked her to be careful the next time. He took a glass of water and left immediately to his room. Lucy saw that he was avoiding her so she kept her distance. She gives the food to the driver to give to him and wash the dishes after. This kept on happening till Elliot saw that he couldn't avoid her because he always stole a glance at her from his window and she looked pretty day in and day out.

Lucy was wandering around the house when she met eye-to-eye with the master. She turned around to take her leave When he ran after her to explain everything to her. But Lucy kept on walking without looking back. He held her hand and she stood to listen to him. He apologized for his recent behavior and asked her to forgive him. She accepted it and left to her room. Later the next day Lucy started schooling at Eastwood Business School. She wakes up earlier than usual does the chores and prepares his coffee before she leaves for school. Elliot asked the driver to drop her off at school. She loves the new environment already. Always at the school library reading and making notes before she gets home. She made a new friend called Essel. Essel is part of the school's basketball team and he is the captain. Essel got close to Lucy when they met one afternoon at the library. Lucy was picking a book from the shelf but it seemed it was high up and she was struggling to reach there. Essel was passing by so he helped her out. They became friends instantly. Essel now comes to the library to wait for her for them to study together. One day, the driver was not feeling well so Elliot decided to pick her up himself. He got to the entrance of the school and saw Lucy with Essel coming out from the library smiling and talking. He got angry immediately stormed out of the car and dragged Lucy to the car. When they got to the car, he let go of her hand and asked her what she was doing with that guy(Essel). She explained that Essel was her coursemate and they went to the library to read and do assignments. He told her, he did not want to see them together again. The drive home was silent nobody uttered a word again. She opened the car and walked quietly to the room. She changed and walked to the kitchen to prepare the evening meal but she kept wondering what was wrong with her standing with Essel or them learning together. She sent the food to the dining room and saw Elliot sitting there quietly staring at her. He told her the reason why he asked her to stay away from Essel."Boys are not good, focus on your education for now".She said okay and left for the kitchen to tidy up and read small before she sleeps. The next day at school she avoided Essel till the next period when he asked her why that behavior. She explained that her education matters now and she needs to be focused. Lucy left him and went to the library to learn for the upcoming test. The driver came today and he brought her some delicious icecream he bought on his way coming.They got home only to see the master lying on the floor. Lucy with the driver immediately took him to the car straight to the hospital. Lucy was sad and praying that nothing bad should happen to Elliot. They got to the hospital and he was rushed to the emergency ward and they started giving him treatment.
