0 Celsius: To thaw a frozen heart novel Chapter 6

She was beautiful

An epitome of perfection

With those loving eyes and welcoming smile

Anyone can fall for her

"Welcome miss Stone.. How are you doing?"

Maria asked with a wide smile on her face which was rare as she mostly had a scowl on .

"I am great Maria, how are you and how are my little bundles of joy? Are they going to school regularly?"

She asked referring to the two children Maria has

Her voice was so sweet and calming

Each word she spoke sounded perfect and her accent was something I never heard before.

It was a mix of British and Italian I guess but altogether it was a voice you will never get bored listening to.

"I am good and so are Evan and Ray, they were so excited to meet you!!They wanted to bunk school to meet you but I insisted them to go"

"Well I am staying here only ,bring them when they come back. I also really want to meet them.."

She was an angel

I mean she is the Heir of billions of net worth and still she is so grounded.

I can't believe this

I can't believe she is for real

"Good Morning Miss Andrea "

Aria said offering her a glass of water

She took the glass and replied

"A very good morning Aria. Thank you"

I stayed silent watching her every move and I must admit I couldn't find a single flaw in her.

I heard Andro's footsteps

When I looked up there he was making his way towards us with long confident steps.

I was staring at him and I thought he was also looking at me with a bright smile but how badly mistaken I was

He walked passed me and I realized he was looking at her as she was standing behind me.

He engulfed her in a hug and sounds of aww could be heard around.

It hurts

A feeling of dread and loneliness engulfed me

I crossed my arms to stop this uneasy feeling but it still lingered on.

I turned around to leave but his next words made me stop

"Miss Brown bring two cups of tea !"

He ordered and I replied without turning around

"Y..Yes S..ir"

I hurriedly ran passed them

I reached the kitchen and filled a glass of water for my medicine

Breathing was getting difficult and I placed the medicine in my mouth with shaking hands.

I inhaled and exhaled huge amounts of air

Breathe ...Saph... Breath

I tried to calm myself but it was easier said than done

I tried to distract myself and started preparing their tea, getting the cups ready and filling the bowls with snacks .

Aria entered

"Hey Saph you need some help?"

"No ..Ari ..I am good"

I said trying to act normal

"Are you alright Saph?Your voice is quivering.."

She asked with concern

"I am fine...It's just that I am having. A flu...it's nothing.."

"O okay let me know if you need something. And Sir is in the drawing room he asked you to serve his tea there "

"Okay.."

With this she was gone

I poured the tea into the golden lined teacups and placed them in the tray

My hands were still shaking a bit and I closed my eyes to relax myself before I face them again.

With a strong grip on the handles I lifted the tray.

I made my way towards the drawing room and as I came near I could hear their conversation clearly

"I told you I am feeling alright Alessandro don't worry"

I looked up to see them sitting next to each other staring into each others eyes.

Their hands intertwined and smiles evident .

"Are you keeping your promise to me "

She asked and I wondered what this promise was

As I made my way towards them with each step I took my anxiety worsened.

"Yes Andrea I am keeping it..I haven't..."

He stopped when he heard the clattering if the teacups my shaking hands were making.

I looked down to show respect and to try to stop my anxiety but it was making my situation worse.

The silence in the hall was interrupted by the irritating sound of these tea cups and I felt both their eyes on me

Please don't look

Please don't look

I was pleading in my mind

As I approached them and his strong cologne entered my sensors my anxiety went to next level

I had a full anxiety attack

Black dots entered my vision and I felt light headed

I tried to shake the hazy images but it resulted me loosing my balance and the teacups having burning hot tea slipped from the tray.

I tried to process what was happening

The hot tea was going to land straight on miss Andrea

I acted fast trying to break the fall

My hand broke the fall and it resulted in the cup hitting my hand and then breaking down into numerous tiny pieces on the ground.

Miss Andrea shrieked with pain as some of the burning tea drops landed on her.

Andro sat up worried and pushed me out of the way to look at Andrea's injury.

My hand was numb just like my mind

But I didn't cared

My thoughts were pre occupied with the view in front of me

Andro was scanning her injuries very carefully and his eyes held so much worry.

"Are you alright....O My god...it looks bad.... Maria...Maria bring the first Aid box ..hurry........"

Her beautiful dress was now stained and her hand had a small red mark

"It's burning .....aaahhhh.....it will be fine.... don't worry ...I am fine.."

her voice came out shaky

"Oh my ...Miss Andrea apply this coolant on it...here..."

Maria said rushing with ice packs and creams

I didn't even looked down to see my own hand as my eyes were fixed on the amount of pain I caused her.

Stupid!

Stupid!

How can I be so stupid!

I burned the daughter of a millionaire

Her family will sue me

I was cursing myself in my mind when Andro turned around to look at me

"How dare you!!"
