Cassandra
When the maid returned, she brought the coffee and laid it in front of me, at the same time as Nicolas appeared. The maid immediately went over to my side.
"How's your night?" His voice was cold as ice.
"Fine, but I have to go now. I'm just really waiting for you so I can say goodbye to you." My answer is straightforward and I don't know where I draw that confidence.
"You're not going anywhere now, are you?" I looked at him. He sat down at the very end of the table. Immediately, an assistant came to his side and ordered her to get coffee. The maid who mocked me was even surprised to see me.
"You have clothes in my room. Take a shower then we'll leave. We're going somewhere and don't ask me anything, am I clear?" I sipped my coffee then nodded slowly.
"You can leave now." He ordered the maid next to me. She immediately complied.
Why so rude? Is he like that to all the helpers?

Nicolas took me to a jewelry store. And not just any jewelry store. It’s one of the most popular stores here in America and they own it. What I wondered was why we came here. We did not go to the displays but went straight to a door. When he opened the door, the stairs opened for us.
He led me inside. When we went down, the long hallway opened up to us again. Coming to the end there was a door full of steel. I can't understand why the door looks like that. It's like a safe vault but more perplexed.
Nicolas approached there then he brought his face closer. Then a light came out and it was as if his eyes were being scanned and I heard the sound then the light turned green. At the same time with the loud sound, was the opening of the door. Suddenly a thick smoke came out but soon the surroundings also became clear. Nicolas grabbed my arm then pulled me inside. I was so amazed when I saw what was inside. Different types of jewelry and different types of precious stone. Some are exquisite brooches, necklaces, rings and earrings with diamonds, emeralds, rock crystal, and topaz. Some are rare gems.

"I got it at auctions and and all of that was worth over a hundred millions. I want you to introduce to our family heirloom." He ushered me in the very middle and there I saw a ring inside the thick glass. It has a ruby in it. The beauty of the gems was amazing.
He pressed something to the side and suddenly the glass rose. I looked at him in astonishment. "I want you to wear it. This is my great grand grandmother's engagement ring, as well as Elizabeth. And now, because you're my fiancee, you can wear it. We have three more days before our weeding. Do you have place you wanted to go or visit? Or do you want to do something before that?" I shook my head.
I really have nothing to do except meet my friends today. He nodded seriously then took the ring. He took my hand then he put the ring to my finger. "It suits you." I feel my face heat up. "Elizabeth wants to see you. I'll fetch you later. And I want you ready before I got there, I don't like waiting." I nodded again. I can't find a word. Afraid that he might get angry when I speak. I just breathed a sigh of relief when we got out of the store.
He let go of my waist when we were in front of his car. "You can hail a cab on your way home. I have a place to go." He said immediately before getting into his car and leaving me in front if the store.
I frowned in disbelief as I watched Nicolas' car drive away. "What an asshole. He doesn't even have respect for his parents. And he even brought me here and then he didn't bring me home. Arrghh!"
I did nothing. I just took a taxi and went home.
