The Lady in the Mirror

Chapter 3: Dream

Raywell's POV

"Orthur" she smiled sweetly. "I can't wait to be with you again." she said.

"Then just stay with me. You don't have to go. Let's stay like this." I said as I held her arms.

"I will find a way to come back to you." She whispered. Her voice is slowly fading, "Fate will be on our side. My love."

I woke up when I felt my phone vibrating and the name of Jarvis flashed on my screen.

"What now, Jarvis?"

"Rise and Shine, Sir! Are you still sleeping? It's 9 o'clock!"

I don't understand how he and Rana find peace under the same roof. They are both loud.

"Why are you so early, Jarvis? We have the whole day."

"Just in case you forgot, Sir, you promised me an extra bonus, so I'm just doing my job. Hehehehe"

"Tss. Where are you right now?"

"Near Tennon, Sir. I'm almost there."

"Hahaha id*ot. I'm here in my condo."

Then I heard a screeching wheel.

"You said last week that you'd be staying in your house!"

"I did! But I changed my mind yesterday and just decided to stay here. Hahaha, sorry, bro. I forgot to inform you."

"WTF! Your house is an hour away, Ray! Do you know how much gas costs right now?! You gotta give me additional payment for this!"

"Yeah, yeah, just come and pick me up now."

I hang up the call and get up from my bed. I chuckled at the thought of Jarvis and decided to take a shower.

As I take a shower, I remember my dream. It's strange. Who was that lady? She seems so familiar. Have I seen her somewhere?

I decided to just brush it off in my mind and finish my shower.

I do have a house in Tennon, but I prefer to stay here in my condo because it's much nearer to my company.

I was packing the important things that I might need when I heard the doorbell. I reached for the door and opened it to see Jarvis with a feeling-betrayed look on his face. I couldn't help but scoff and laugh at my assistant, who's now looking ready to demand some things.

"You better pay for my gas, Ray." He said.

Yeah right. I knew this was gonna happen.

We are here at a restaurant, and I am looking at Jarvis with disgust as he eats like there's no tomorrow.

"How are the papers of the mansion?" I asked Jarvis.

"Jey are in ja car, Sher. All Phrephared." He said with a full mouth.

"WTF, Jarvis! Don't you know the rule, "don't talk when your mouth is full"?" I told him.

"I'm hunghry! I jrove for hoursh!" He exclaimed.

"I will deduct this food from your bonus." I threatened him and he quickly drank his water and stood up.

"Let's go now, Sir. We're gonna be late. I'll wait for you in the car." He said and walked his way out of the restaurant.

Rascal. I shook my head and left a cash in the table.
