Gabi over-estimated her own body.
This was something that she realized the next day after running for almost one kilometer. The thing is, she never expected to feel this much pain because she had been doing yoga every morning. Apparently, doing some stretching is different from extreme exercises.
"Miss, Mr. Glen is already here to escort you for your morning training."
Gabi immediately covered her face with her pillow when she heard Kasper's voice. That's right, Glen promised to help her and act as her guard as she ran around the mansion. This is to make sure that she finish everything for the day.
Glen said that the exercises will soon increase so she needed all the guidance that she could have to avoid any injuries.
After five minutes of complaining inwardly, Gabi immediately changed her clothes and prepared herself for today's exercises.
"Miss, Alfons is waiting for you in the drawing-room."
"Tell him to wait. I am busy." She was about to start running. She had no time to talk to that cruel man.
"Miss she is looking for Miss Aren. Just as instructed, we told him that you sent her away."
Of course, Alfons would never believe that. "Were you able to schedule a meeting with the Sealey's?"
"Yes, it will be tomorrow afternoon for tea. Madam Sealey confirmed the meeting last night."
"Just her?"
"There was no mention of Mr. Sealey."
Gabi nodded. Right now, her focus is to make sure that Alfons won't have any good relationship with the people that would become his ally in the future. The Sealey's is on top of her list.
"Miss, we should start now."
Gabi smiled when she heard Glen's voice. After some warm-ups, the two started running around the mansion. However, this didn't escape Alfons' eyes.
He narrowed his eyes at Gabi's skinny back.
"When did she start doing this?" he asked Spencer who stood next to him.
"Just today, sir."
"Did you know why she is doing this?"
"No sir. The head of the house— "
"Mr. Jonathan, may I know why you keep on calling her the head of the house?" he asked without looking at the old butler.
"That is because she is the head— "
"What about me?" Alfons asked, irritated. "As the next male of the Sutton Family, I should be the next head of this house." When Spencer didn't answer, Alfons turned his head towards him. "Did I say something wrong?"
"Sir, with all due respect, this house was owned by Madam Ren."
Alfons face contorted. "What does that mean?"
"It means that you qualify to become the head of the Sutton Family but… not in this house."
"You— "
"Please forgive me sir but I am only stating facts. The deed of this house is under Miss Gabi's Sutton's name. If Miss Sutton will marry someone, then the name of this mansion will not be Sutton Mansion anymore."
"That— " Alfons lowered his head. He never thought of that fact. No, it's not that he never thought about it. He just thought that everything that belongs to Gabi will be his too. After all, they were siblings— blood-related siblings. Gabi might be someone that he could just boss around, but this doesn't change the laws in between them.
Alfons clenched his hands into two tight fists. That's right. He needed to find someone that would marry Gabi as soon as possible. That Harry idiot already ruined his previous plans. So, he needed another person.
He needed to do it before Gabi meets someone that she liked.
But now that he carefully thought about it, meeting someone that she liked would be impossible. After all, Gabi didn't like socializing before. Not many socialites knew what she looked like anymore. Then, all he needs to do now is to keep it that way.
Keep isolating Gabi.
But Gabi would soon start working for Ren Aesthetics. Meaning, she would start joining events with her grandfather. This would surely benefit Alfons too.
Because of this, Alfons fell into a dilemma. Should he tell Gabi not to work for her grandfather? But… that would give him less opportunity to interact with the Ren Family.
Ren Family, ah, Ren Family.
If only Gabi was born from a different family.
Why did she have to be born from someone from that rich family?
Slowly, the jealousy in his heart started blooming again. Gabi grew up privileged and he hated it. Why does he have to suffer all the ridicule while Gabi just stayed inside this little bubble?
"Please call me once she is done running. I will be in my room." He said before leaving Spencer alone. However, before he could even walk inside his room, he receive a call from Harry. "What is it?" he asked.
"Did you know? My mother and Gabi is going to have tea tomorrow!"
"What did you say?" Alfons stopped walking, his face darkened. "Who will meet who?"
"My mother and Gabi!"
"When?"
"Tomorrow! My mother proudly told us this morning about the meeting. She thought that Gabi wanted to be friends with her. Hey! Alfons! Are you there? Did you found that maid? You told me you will take care of it? I am willing to pay you millions just to get rid of that b*tch! Where is she now? Is she dead?"
"I— "
"Did you— "
"I will call you back."
With that, Alfons turned around and went out of the mansion. His destination was naturally where Gabi was doing her morning exercises. "You are going to meet Madam Sealey?" Alfons grabbed Gabi's arm to stop her from jogging. "Why didn't you tell me about this?"
Gabi looked at Alfons. "I am going to meet Madam Sealey to make his son marry my maid. It's either that… or Harry Sealey will rot in prison." She answered without any hesitation. Then she smiled. "I am sure that Madam Sealey will choose wisely for her son." Gabi accepted the towel that Glen handed her. She used it to wipe the sweat on her face. "Of course... you can beg for your friend now. I wouldn't meet his mother or send him to prison. But... I will post everything that I have against him in social media and let the netizens judge him. What do you think... my brother?"
