Chapter 280 - Gifts part 1
Meanwhile..
It is already evening and Jean is flipping through her book. She indeed prepared for exam when they are taking ten days vacation so she is just revising again. Scott is preparing her dinner while she lied on the bed and skimmed through her notes.
Her flight is on next morning and her friend Meghan would pick her up in the airport. Though Scott insisted on accompanying her she declined his request. Country D has once been the main branch of Summer’s Enterprises and their family holds a firm authority. So she don’t want to get sighted with him till they officially announce their relationship.
When she is drowned in revising, Scott calmly wrapped his arms around her waist and lied his head on her lap. She became his drug that he started to feel hallow and blank even with the thought of not seeing her for a week. He is sure that he will run to Country D on the very next day of her flight.
After one hour Jean completed her work, so they started cuddling and kissing when her phone rang again. Scott pouted as Jean woke up and took the call. It is her roommate Meghan.
"Jean our second exam got postponed to last day. As we will be getting three days gap how about we go out for one night. All our friends will be there... please.. Please" she pleaded.
Jean gave a small smile and agreed. It’s been long she had a girls night as a normal person. It would be fun to club with bunch of girls, her university follows strict norms so no one are allowed to drink or party within the campus. So when they get a chance like this it will be too terrific...everyone will act like a starved monster waiting for some adventure.
Scott had his head resting on her shoulder so he listened their plan. He is not against it but he is afraid that some filthy pests would bother Jean. Anyway he didn’t have a heart to put a stop to her fun so he could only watch her back by staying in shadows.
They finished their dinner very early in order to ’sleep’ more.
Early in the morning...
Scott turned off the alarm and nudged Jean to wake up who snuggled even more deeper and refused to wake up. However they already got the notification that flight got delayed by three hours.
He has prepared some gifts for her so she her heart will be filled with sweet and warm essence. The four books he bought in auction will be given to her today.
He prepared her breakfast before she wake up. He also asked his staff to bring her luggage into one of her car she will not tire out herself. After making sure that his arrangements are in order he went back to his office... at least in Jean’s point of view.
Meanwhile..
Jean woke up at six, only to find the other side of bed empty. Thinking that he might be preparing her breakfast Jean quickly took a shower and got dressed up. She wore a black high neck t shirt and tight fit Jeans with her favorite pendent chain around her neck.
Though she use to wear it to all her examinations, Her university had a strict dress code till the last year. Now she is free to wear her mother’s chain..
When she came down, Her breakfast is served on the table and surprisingly no one are there in the mansion. Feeling confused Jean completed eating and went for last check on her books. When she opened her back pack she found a box wrapped up in gift wrapper.
Feeling thrilled Jean hurriedly opened it only to find a book she has been searching from past six months. Her heart warmed up and her eyes teared up. For bibliophiles like her this is the most heart touching and precious gift.
Scott has been seeing her from the camera that was fixed last night. He chuckled and messaged the person to get ready with the next gift. Jean is already content when she boarded her car.
Whenever she attend examinations she has a habit of visiting a botanical park. It is the place she spent her last moments with her parents, so it is sentimental place for her.
She went and sat in her usual place. A bench with which she has many memories of her mother. When they use to visit it, her mother use to explain various things related to the plants. Jean still remember the sad glint in her mother’s eyes every time they had come here.
A cute girl in the flower shop just a little right to the place where she is sitting saw Jean and tugged her grandmother’s sleeves, indicating her presence. Her grandmother smiled and nodded her head before handing her a gift and bouquet of flowers and nudged the little girl to go.
She approached Jean with her tiny steps and tried to climb up the bench. Jean instantly recognized the little kid and helped her. "What did Lizzy bring for me now" Jean pinched her chubby cheeks gently.
"Sissy Jean, a uncle came early in the morning and asked Grammy to give this to you. All the best" Lizzy kissed Jean’s cheek and said, "That handsome uncle said to give this too" then she kissed the other cheek and ran away.
Jean had a hard time stopping her laughter. Lizzy called Scott as ’uncle’. It is sure that he will definitely throw a tantrum if he listen to this. At least she added ’handsome’ before it..
Scott who is seeing it from the camera attached to shop sulked unhappily. "I gave her huge pile of chocolates still she called me like it" he complained to Raymond. Who just kept quiet but he is laughing all his heart out but silently inside his heart.
After staying for half an hour Jean went to airport. She booked a economy class, from this second she should act like a ordinary girl who got into university through scholarship.
When her luggage is being checked the security stopped her further procedure.
"Madam, sorry for inconvenience but this books are auctioned some days back. So we want you to show the proper proof that you are the buyer" they started taking her to the next floor which is only accessible to the officials of Air Force.
Jean got panicked...though she called Scott it is switched off.
