Chapter 47 - 47: Crushing on the mushroom

Selena's eyebrows rose as she stared at the motorcycle in front of her, it was a black sports bike with a daisy flower imprinted on the side.

Her lips gradually parted when Daniella handed her the helmet.

"Use this."

Without complaining, Selena took it and put it on.

Silence, her mind hushed as soon as she wore the helmet, it was a bit bigger than her head but she felt comfortable.

Selena hopped onto the bike and encircled her hands around Daniella's waist.

Her eyebrows creased behind the helmet, Daniella's waist was too small, as if she didn't have ribs.

"Can you teach me how to drive later?" she yelled into her ear.

"Yes, but after school," Daniella yelled back.

Selena smiled behind the helmet, she wants to learn how to drive but she's only thirteen and her uncle and grandparents don't allow her until she becomes sixteen.

As they drove out of the villa, their bike was stopped by Matthew standing by the gate with his pajamas on.

Daniella opened the pro shield of the motorcycle and glared at Matthew.

"Matthew, get out of the way," she barked, "If you want to die, go to the highway and wait for a sixteen-wheeler truck."

Mathew shook his head like a boy refusing his mother's request.

"Where are you going?" Matthew asked.

"I need to bring Selena to school," Daniella said, containing her patience.

"I want to come," saying that, Matthew rushed behind the motorcycle and squeezed himself behind of Selena.

Daniella blew out a sigh, knowing Matthew's childish behavior, he won't stop nagging until she brings him along so she decided to tag him with them. Before she could start the motorcycle, Matthew's voice suddenly sounded.

"Evan let me go," Matthew urged after his cousin deliberately dragged him from the motorcycle and tossed his body aside like garbage.

"I have lots of work to do today so help me in the office," Evan coldly said.

Panic overtook Matthew's face as he tried to imagine himself in the four lifeless white walls of the office, he hates office works especially if it involves numbers which happened to be their main business.

He groaned with irritation and marched back to his house, "Daniella sleep in my house later, ok?" he yelled.

Matthew's feet frost to see his cousin's face darkening with anger.

His lips curved a smile upon seeing the reaction Evan had after he said those words.

(Look at that stonic Evan, he actually has a crush on that mushroom. Whoa! I finally found your weakness cousin) grinning in his mind, Matthew decided to stay.

"Evan, I 'Il take the job since Daniella will be here too," he playfully winked at his cousin and ran back to his house before Evan could murder him with his eyes.

Evan watched Matthew running back to his house like he's being chased by a demon, his hands jammed in his pockets were clenching with frustration.

"We will be going now."

The softness of Daniella's voice melted the frustration in his face, Evan sighed and lightly smiled at her.

"I will see you later."

Selena who witnessed his uncle smiling silently gasp. She had never seen her uncle smiling in the morning especially when he's about to go to work. His lips were always pressed tightly together as if he's going to war but, seeing her uncle smiling after saying those words with calmness has made every nerve in her brain to wonder what was happening.

When they left the villa, Selena watched his uncle thru the rearview mirror waving a hand in the air as if he's saying goodbye to his wife.

After Daniella and Selena left, Evan took out his phone and dialed Mark's number.

The phone rang twice before Mark answered it.

"I need to meet the president. Clear the hospital," and he hangs up the phone.

Evan sighed, last night he saw Daniella sneaking in his study room, he just watched her as she opened each drawer of the room, looking for something. He doesn't know what she needed but he saw her gripping his father's photo that she took from the frame and ripped it into pieces before shoving it in the flower vase.

He wondered, why was she looking so angry staring at his father's photo. Does she know his father? Have they met before?

Last night, he wanted to ask what was she doing sneaking in his study room but he knows that if she finds out that he's watching her, she will disappear and just the thought of not seeing her face was driving him crazy.
