✍️ CHAPTER TITLE✍️: BLOOD STAIN?

As the meeting continues everyone kept their peace to themselves while they listened attentively to the man who was giving the speech. The man whom Amelia as-sumed to be a speech reader continued reading out the content in the note he was holding in his hand for everyone to listen to. Her eyes trailed around the place as she observed that many people are already done with their food, some are still stylishly devouring the food, many hasn’t even tou-ched it yet as they were so concerned about the speech which the man was giving.

Her eyes ran into Dean who was going throu-ghhis phone, and in the next moment, a frown has already been placed on his face. She caught that sight of him that flee away before anyone else would. “what’s wrong with him suddenly?” She worried before taking her eyes to the food which they served to her, she hasn’t even taken a spoon out of it yet as her stomach hurts brutally.
She wondered what was making her have stomach aches! Why will the pain decide to come around on a day like this? She was supposed to be lively over here and not to sit down like an old woman!

“Why ain’t you eating your food? Don’t you like it in here?” Dean after controlling himself said to her. “I’m not hungry, I just nee-d water, can you tell one of the maids to get me a glas-s of water?” Amelia demanded and before she knew it, Dean tapped his hand at one of them, the maid returned with a tray that contains water in it. Amelia wondered why they were withheld to serve the people with water instead of jui-ce that has been shared on everyone’s table including hers.
After dropping the tray on the table and standing in the center of the little line between Dean and Amelia’s seat, the maid wanted to pour the water into a glas-s but Dean resisted her from doing it. He shook his head at her (The maid) while the girl left after stooping her head, returning to where they all were standing.

Without thinking twice and not minding about those eyes that were peeking towards him, Dean opened the bottle of water, poured some amount into the cu-p before handing it over to Amelia. Even with her tensed self she still gulped the water down, returning the glas-s to the furniture herself after that.
“Are you okay?” Dean asked with care while he stared at her, Amelia was still able to notice the frown he was trying to hide on his face. She bounced her head with a smile. Dean after seeing that returned his head to his father who was gazing at him “Is she fine? Any problem?” The man asked while crouching forward to rest his hand on the table that has been cleared since he was done with his food.

“She’s fine Dad, she has just been having an abdomen ache. I have given her water.” Dean replied politely then marveled at why he was being questioned. “So has it reduced? Should she be taken to my office? She can have some rest?” The father suggested while Dean shook his head in hesitation. “I don’t want her going Dad, I’m sure she will be okay here. The meeting is getting to its ending.” Dean as-sured then saw the father revoking his elbow from the table. He made his back relax properly on his swirling chair which was moving around against his wish. He stepped on something at the bott-om of it that made it stand firm “Who’s she? I haven’t seen her with you before.”

Dean’s eyes twitched repeatedly after hearing this, his eyes lifted to look at Amelia who was staring at the man addressing. “She’s my friend, we are in the same school.” Came his reply even though he imagined the reason why his father can’t wait to return home before discussing this.
After his response, the man only smiled before throwing his gaze forward to follow up with the speech. The first man finished speaking and left, just then another man walked up to the sp-ot where the first man had left. He started talking about the growth, bond that the two companies shared in the past. After a while, they left, just for Amelia to see Dean standing up to go forward and start delivering his speech too. “Wow!! He’s performing his obligation as the Heir of the company well” Amelia said to herself while she Admired him, he wasn’t looking at her as his eyes were fixed on the people which Amelia as-sumed to be the committee. Unlike the two other men, Dean didn’t carry a note in his hand while speaking, everything he was saying was directly coming from his head while pas-sing throu-ghhis mouth for the information to catch up with everyone sitting.

Once, when his eyes ran into her eyes randomly he let out a smile that anyone wouldn’t have noticed except from her. She blus-hed innocently after he had taken his gaze away from her then he continued. She felt her throat saturated and immediately filled the cu-p with another which went down her throat in the following seconds. She looked around for her to glimpse the lady who was standing beside Dean glaring strangely at her, she had seen her reaction before she could take her eyes away from her. Why was she looking weirdly at her?

“OUR COMPANY STANDS MANY CHANCES TO PROVIDE ANY CONTRACT GIVEN TO US BEST INTERVENTION AND GOOD INTEREST. WE as-sUME YOUR COMPANY TO HAVE HAD HIGH LEVELS STABILITIES WHICH IS WHY THE PROMISE WHICH WE’VE GIVEN TO YOU WILL NOT BE TAMPERED WITH.” “You can trust us with the work, we will make the best of it and help in manufacturing for you after it’s been done.” “Thanks so much for choosing to do this contract with us, I go by the name “DEAN STEWART, THE PRESENT HEIR OF THIS COMPANY.” Dean successfully gave out his speech which raised screams, clap-s, murmuring, and praises from everyone present as they were all impressed by his presentation. Mr. Stewart where he sat down smiled broadly as his eyes followed Dean from the front back to his seat. “I’m proud of you son,” He declared to him while leaning forward to embr@ce him in their sitting position.
Amelia also who was exclaimed by his speech stretched her hand forward to shake him with her cheeks showing him how red it turns due to how she wouldn’t stop smiling at him. Dean instead of shaking her hand shook his head in declination to her request. She looked stunned as she withdrew her hand which she stretched forward back to her lap. Dean who saw her reaction chuckled before turning properly only to wrap his hands around her body “He was hu-gging her”. People yelled after sp-otting what he did which made Amelia nervous, she felt like flying out of here. He withdrew from her body then tickled her cheeks playfully with his fingers removing some strands of her hair that has fallen over her face to the back of her ear.
“I deserve something special than an ordinary handshake, I hope you don’t mind me hu-gging you? I was just glad that’s why I did that. Also, you looked cute whenever your cheeks are red, I’m sorry I wasn’t able to resist myself from being a pervert.” He glanced truthfully at her with his hand still holding on to her cheeks which made her anxious, she wondered why he decided to keep his hand still on her cheeks even after knowing that everyone is looking at them. She closed her eyes ti-ghtly before opening it just to meet with Mr. Stewart’s eyes that were looking at them especially Dean.
Neglecting the announcement coming from the man on stage, Amelia flic-kered her eyes away from him, Dean who noticed her staring nervously around smiled softly before saying “Are you uncomfortable with me holding your cheeks? I’m trying to make the outing fun. Will you say something?” He asked before taking his hands away from her cheeks, Amelia was planning on releasing the breath that she’s been clasping only for the hands to hold on to her shoulder.
She’s speechless and doesn’t know what to say, what sort of impression was Dean planning on giving everyone present? She thought while closing her eyes tiredly only to open it again. “How’s your stomach? Painful?” Dean asked, “You are to listen to every single piece of information that will be shared here today, won’t you concentrate on that?” Amelia queried while trying not to sound rude as he was just trying to be nice to her.
“I don’t nee-d them, my P. A is the one who nee-ds it. Look at her she’s listening to it without anything distracting her.” Dean responded not finding her words rude but rather gesturing his face towards the lady standing behind him, who was writing down in a note. “So she’s Dean’s P.A, but why was she staring Strangely at her earlier?” Was it her imagination or it wasn’t meant for her? She thoughts

The meeting finally ended with happiness on the two companies representative and other people present’s faces. The contract has been eventually granted to THE STEWART’S COMPANY. Some people already left and some were seen discussing with one Person or the other in the hall.
Dean walked around with his father who introduced him to many people whom he doesn’t know about if not now. Some gave him praises on his speech, they took pictures, and before the Heir of the second company could exit the room, he came towards Dean while they had a little conversation together.
Amelia still maintained her sitting position without standing while waiting for Dean to come so they can leave. The meeting which she thinks wouldn’t pertain has taken 4 hours of their time. She hasn’t had anything to eat since morning except the jui-ce and two glas-ses of water which she had taken. Maybe she hasn’t been hungry, even the pain in her stomach had lessened which made her wonder if it was sent to only torment her during the meeting.
She brou-ght out her phone from her pulse, tapping on it while searching for something to keep her busy. “Master said that you should be ready as you would be leaving soon, he sent this drink for you to have before then.” She heard someone speaking to her, after lifting her head her eyes ran into the lady Dean had called his P.A standing in front of her with a tray that contains a glas-s of wine in her hand.
She noticed the lady trying to fake a smile on her face before she stretched the tray forward waiting for her to get the drink. Her voice came out silent as she hasn’t been saying anything for a while aside from her eyes that were busy looking around. “I’m okay, I don’t want to have that, Thanks.” She shook her head in disapproval after looking at the tray then back at the lady whose expressions couldn’t be explained.
The lady was silent for some time, more like thinking about what she said, and without uttering anything to her, she turned around and left. “Such a weirdo” Amelia murmured un-der her breath. Remembering Dean, she searched around to see him already coming towards where she was sitting, concluding that it was time to leave. Ahe stood up from the swirling chair which she had been sitting on, feeling Dean’s footsteps closer to her with her back facing him, she packed her pulse and phone then tried leaving the sp-ot.
Not knowing what was happening, Dean who was walking slowly to where she was took lightspeed6 closer to her suddenly making her sit back in the chair which she had stood up from. Few people who were in the room noticed what happened looked at them to see Dean leaning his body on the table beside the girl who was sitting down. Since they are not aware of what happened everyone turned around to mind their businesses.
Dean looked at the P.A that was carrying some files in her hand standing behind him “Excuse me now, that’s all for the day.” Dean said to her while he watched her depart after gawking at him in surprise. Although she tried hiding it he could still see the surprise that came when he said that to her.
After she had gone Amelia tapped his back to face her, while her face demanded an answer. If she can remember this is the second he would be doing this, the first time he had pushed back was in school when she wanted to leave. He permitted them to start leaving, so why would he for-ce her to sit back?
“I’m sorry, I just had to do it so that you wouldn’t leave where you are,” Dean replied while standing beside her with his eyes looking around to confirm that no one was listening to their conversation.
“Isn’t it time for leaving? Why can’t I leave?” Amelia asked impatiently. His li-ps shook before pointing his hand at her dress. “My dress? What’s wrong with it?” She asked cluelessly. “It’s has been stained!” He managed to say while she looked Confusingly at him. Stained? But she didn’t eat? She doubting “Where is the stain from? I didn’t eat anything that can stain my dress.” Amelia declined while she tried standing to check the dress out herself. He je-rked his head, therefore, stopping her from moving “It has been stained with blood at the bott-om part of it, your dress has been stained with blood!”
