Chapter 307 Picture albums.
Arwen gave a small smile to Mr. Jones, ready to leave. But just when she was about to, she caught the sight of a glass jar on one of the shelves, right beside a stack of few books. She could see silver star shapes shining there.
"What's that?" she asked intrigued.
Before Mr. Jones could answer her, she already walked to the shelf, raising her hand to get the jar. But her height couldn't match up. She turned to look around once. Finding the chair on the side, she dragged it to the shelf before climbing up to get the jar down.
"Madam," the butler called in panic, adding, "Please be careful. The chair isn't at its best, you will hurt yourself."
"Don't worry, Mr. Jones," Arwen spoke with a smile. "I will be careful." Saying that, she climbed up the chair and was finally able to get her hands on the jar.
Her eyes twinkled, finding the familiar shapes. Isn't this made out of chocolate wrappers?" she asked, opening the cap and pulling out one star. "I know this chocolate. This used to be my favourite. I never knew your young master was a fan of it too."
She said and then showed it to the butler with slight excitement. "Did he make it?' she asked and with slight hesitation, Mr. Jones nodded.
Arwen smiled. "We share another thing in common then," she mumbled to herself before handing the jar to Mr. Jones. "I need to go now, Mr. Jones. My meeting is scheduled in another 10 minutes."
The butler nodded and Arwen walked out of the room. Once she was gone, Mr. Jones took the much-needed breather. He looked at the jar of chocolates in his hand and sighed.
The jar of stars was prepared by Aiden. But it wasn't because he liked the chocolate, but rather because he remembered Arwen loving it. He ate it in her remembrance and he folded a star out of every wrapper, wishing to have her back in his life, by his side.@@@@
A warm smile curled his lips when suddenly he halted with the thought of something, as if he suddenly remembered something that he had almost forgotten.
Quickly moving, he walked to the desk. Keeping the jar aside, he opened the drawer to check something. But apart from the picture that Arwen had seen earlier, he couldn't find anything else. His brows furrowed in a frown as he rummaged through the other drawers in search of something. But the rest all others were as empty as Arwen had seen.
It wasn't making sense, yet she couldn't bring herself to shrug it off. The thought has clung to her stubbornly.
"Ma'am, what do you think?" suddenly someone asked over the conference and Arwen was pulled back from her thoughts. She blinked a few times, before gathering back what she had heard.
Clearing her throat, she said, "Oh, I think I would still want to go through the details. How about you send me the detailed report. And I will reach back to your team once I make myself clear about it."
The person, who had asked previously, nodded. "Okay, Ma'am. I will send it right away."
Arwen nodded. "Great. Then that's it for today. You guys can get back to your routine." With that, she disconnected the call and reached for her phone.
Thinking back, she finally dialled Margaret's number. After a few rings, the call was answered.
"Arwen," Margaret said and Arwen hummed back to her before speaking. "Aunt Margaret, I hope I am not disturbing you."
"No, not at all," Margaret replied, asking further, "Tell me what you called for? Is there anything?"
Arwen thought back about the picture and nodded. "Yes, there is something that I need your help with." She said and the line paused for a second.
Sensing there was something wrong on Arwen's side. Margaret slowly asked, "Yes sure. But will you tell me what happened? Are you tensed?"
Arwen quickly refused. "No, no, no, Aunt Margaret, there is nothing serious. I just completed a meeting with the marketing team and maybe under the effect of it. But it's fine, I will get better in another few minutes."
"Oh," Margaret said in understanding, before asking, "Then what is it that you are looking me for?"
"Oh, it's about my picture albums," Arwen immediately responded. "I called to ask if you can send them to me."
