Once they reached the store, Cypher let the two go and pick out whatever they wanted while he himself went to look for a new pair of noise cancelling headphones

Eloise wandered through the stores, unable to think of what she would get. Beck strolled next to her, glancing coolly at all of the stuff. “You sure we’re allowed whatever we want?” Eloise asked him.
“Yes, I’m sure,” Beck agreed. “Why don’t you get some new clothes or something?”
“Okay.”

A couple hours had passed and Cyoher was both frustrated and tired. His sister had dragged him from store to store, seeming to choose more things for herself than Eloise which annoyed him a little. Still whenever he caught the girl looking at something a little too long or seeming to want it, he would grab it and purchase it without a word. Now they were waiting for the car to come and take them home where they would freshen up before heading back out for dinner. The other maids and workers would pack their bags and newly bought thing for them and take then to the jet where they would all rendezvous after the meal.

“Thank you for everything,” Eloise said quietly from her position standing next to Cypher. “You didn’t have to get me so much stuff.” The truth was that Cypher didn’t even get all that much compared to what his sister got, but Eloise didn’t want a lot anyway.

Cypher smiled and put a hand on her shoulder. "It was nothing. After all,its the least I could do for my–" he cut himself off and quickly turned the other way.

Elly saw what happened and her eyes lit up with excitement. Her brother had found his soulmate

Eloise raised an eyebrow. “Your what?” she asked in her quiet voice, glancing over to Elly. It seemed a bit more significant than just maid or friend or whatever Eloise would have thought he would say.

Beck looked at Cypher and Elly with a tinge of suspicion. He subtly moved even closer to Eloise protectively.

Cypher opened his mouth to speak but right then the driver appeared with the car. “Oh nothing, the car is here let’s go. We have two hours to get ready before the dinner so Elly can help you get ready, choosing a suitable outfit and doing your makeup.” He said hurriedly, silently thanking the gods for send the car here on time

“Okay…” Eloise said, still confused. She blinked, trying not to think about it. Because she was definitely the type to overthink something like this. It probably wasn’t as big of a deal as she thought it was, was it?

Beck tried not to feel bitter. It wasn’t as if Cypher had said anything, but he had a feeling that Eloise meant much more to him and the others here than they let on. Beck began to wonder why he was even here, since clearly none of them seemed to care about him.

(Alright! The one sided relationship could work because he could he like "the only reason we're here in the first place is because—" type thing)

Cypher sat in the car, making sure to sit near the window where he could look outside and ignore any questions anyone may have. He took outhis phone and checked for any messages or reminders before putting in some music.

Beck studied Cypher, wondering what the other male had been trying to say earlier. If his gaze could have bored a hole in the back of Cypher’s head, it would. Eloise looked out the window next to Beck, lost in her own thoughts.

Elly studied Cypher and Eloise. She could see that there was something special between the two. She wasnt sure what that bond was, other than the obvious Soulmate one, but she couldn't seem to decipher it.

Beck continued to think about Cypher. Eloise glanced back at him and gave him a small smile. “What are you thinking about?” she asked with mirth.
“Oh, um, nothing,” Beck mumbled, flushing as he looked at Eloise. She giggled.
“Okay, whatever,” she responded with a tinge of humor.
