-Eleonora-

Being rich has its perks it's not a lie and everyone knows. I was wealthy but not this kind of wealthy. This is probably the first time I am on a private jet and it's freaking awesome, is so elegant and expensive.

I love it.

I never knew that planes could have upper windows, I was amazed by all of this although my neck hurt from looking up I couldn't just not look at the clouds.

"Stop doing that" I heard Blaze say from the other side of the plane, he was on the opposite side, and we were sat in diagonal seats, he wasn't in front of me but at my left a bit to the front so I could see him perfectly and vice-versa. "Doesn't your neck hurt?"

"Nope" I lied looking at the soft clouds above us

"I know it hurts. Stop it" he demanded

"It doesn't"

"You've been like that for almost an hour" he clarified making me groan

"Fine" I tilted my head to the front and then to the sides, I was clearly with some neck pain but nothing to worry about. I saw him looking at his tablet probably working like always, I wonder how the hell he manages to always be working.

"How can you not look up at the clouds? " I asked "At night must be pretty right? With the stars ?"

"Probably" he said shrugging his shoulders and not taking his eyes off the screen

"Probably? Have you never seen it?"

"I never paid much attention to it" How can he not pay attention to it?? It just takes him 5 seconds if the bodyguards weren't here I would've smacked his face. Yeah, he brought bodyguards and left Connor...pretty weird I know it's a big change.

"Then why did you spend money on it?" I asked intrigued

"Natural light is better to work" he answers

"Wow you are a really sad person" I noted, he finally took a look at me with a raised eyebrow "How can you not take 5 seconds to look up at the stars or the clouds?"

"I have things to do" he explained "I have work"

"You always have work. Do you work or do you just pretend?"

"What do you mean?"

"You never seemed to have free time so, you must have a great amount of work or you simply don't do anything and you say you work"

"I am the CEO of one of the biggest -probably biggest by next month- companies in all of America, it's obvious I am always working. I am only one and everything that goes on in Maxwell Inc. passes through me, I know everything, I fix everything, I command everything, nothing goes around without my consent, I am the brain of the whole company, and of course I am always working" he explained in some anger I must add

"Still I think that it's just a simple excuse," I said

He let out a frustrated sigh not believing my words "Why is that?"

"If you wanted to take some time off of your work you would but you don't, because you really don't have anything else to do. You like to work so you work and work and you just don't bother gathering free time because you simply don't want it." I said shrugging my shoulders, he didn't respond his eyes were locked on mine but for some reason, I think he wasn't looking at me he was just lost in his mind a speck of emotion seemed to cross his face it looked like...sadness

"You don't know anything about my work" He said, whatever was going on in his head simply vanished and he became again the cold Blaze I knew, with an emotionless face on "Speaking in work" he handed me some papers stapled, I reached out to them wondering what it was.
