An hour later, I had showered and dressed myself in all black attire ; skin tight leggings with a corseted short sleeve top which hugged my figure. To finish the look, I also fashioned a thin black net choker which contrasted against my ghostly neck and wore an expensive looking ruby ring. Brushing a blonde curl out of my face, I applied a light coat of dark mascara and a slight lip tint. Grabbing a leather jacket from a clothes hanger, I put it on before fluttering my lustrous curled hair down my back and leaving with my empty tray.

Making my way downstairs, I was greeted at the last step of the winding staircase by a scurrying maid which took the tray from me. Replying with a thank you, the maid smiled at me before hurrying behind a large door. Once again alone, I continued my way to the room on the left.

Before I could open the door for myself, I jumped back in surprise as the wooden entrance swung open violently. Revealing Jett, I scanned his agitated expression as I pulled a confused face. Tilting my head to one side, I gently asked, " Good morning , you seem troubled? " as the enraged male noticed me. His cold stare softening, Jett replied with, "Hey, it's just that I had arranged to meet someone here at 11:00am for....business value....but now it's 12:30 and- " before he was cut off with a brisk knock.

With a sigh of relief, Jett moved in seconds to the front door where I watched as he greeted the visitor and gestured for them to come inside. Returning, he lead the visitor into a extensive corridor where he gestured for me to wait in the hall. Unlocking the door, with seconds of my entrance I spotted my dog curled up next to a burning fire. Recognising me, Lu bounced over and licked me continuously, overjoyed to be reunited with her owner. I felt the same way to have a somewhat normal part of my life back.
