Chapter 33 - 33: Mother's Orders & Emilia~
Exiting the cafeteria with hurried steps, Pyris's mind was heavy, weighed down by his earlier argument with Valarie. It had hit him harder than he expected, a bitter blow that left him
With her now sitting so close, her body heat radiating toward him, that tension felt more tangible than ever. Pyris, feeling bold, slipped his arm around her waist, pulling her closer.
Their bodies pressed together intimately, and for a moment, neither of them said a word. The silence between them was thick, charged with something more than just friendship.
Emilia's breath quickened, her lips parting slightly as her gaze locked with his. She had always been attracted to him, that much was clear. And now that Pyris was of age, that line between them, once carefully maintained, seemed to blur.
They leaned in, their faces drawing closer, their breaths mingling as the gap between them closed. For a moment, it felt like nothing else mattered—just the two of them, alone in the quiet of the trees.
But the soft chime of Pyris's phone shattered the moment, its harsh ring pulling them back to reality. Emilia pulled away quickly, an awkward cough escaping her lips as she turned her head.
Her dress strap slipped from her shoulder, revealing more of her cleavage, though she seemed too flustered to notice.
Pyris cursed silently, pulling his phone from his pocket. The screen lit up with a message notification from his mother. His brow furrowed as he read the message, the confusion on his face clear.
"I'll be away on important matters for a while. You're in charge of Obsidian Tech in my absence. Emilia will assist you in moving to your new place while you're still attending school. Don't worry, the place is close to both the academy and the company. Take care of everything as I've taught you. And remember, the company is your responsibility now."
Pyris groaned audibly, the weight of the words sinking in. "What the actual hell?" he muttered, his mind racing.
Emilia, sensing his tension, looked over his shoulder at the message. Before she could respond, her own phone buzzed with a call. She glanced at the screen and saw it was from his mother.
Without hesitation, Pyris grabbed the phone from her hand. "Mother!" he barked into the receiver. "What is this? I'm supposed to be attending school, not running a company!"
On the other end, his mother's voice was calm, unbothered by his outburst. "You were always meant for more than just attending school, Pyris. It's time you stepped up. This is your destiny."
Pyris sat back, exhaling sharply, the weight of his responsibilities pressing down on him once again.
