NICHOLAS ANDERSON, A HOT BUT ARROGANT BUSINESSMAN AND BILLIONAIRE OWNS A LOT OF COMPANIES - HOTELS, RESORTS, BEACHES, ISLAND HOUSES, ETC. HE OWNS A VAST EMPIRE. HIS EMPIRE' S NAME IS VILLA. TO BE HONEST, HE IS A BOX FULL OF MYSTERIES. HE DOESN' T LI...
I CHANGED MY DRESS AND WORE MY NIGHT SUIT. I WENT TO SLEEP. ON THE BED, I COULDN' T SLEEP. I CLUTCHED A PILLOW IN MY HAND TIGHTLY. BUT STILL I COULDN' T SLEEP.
I TWISTED AND TURNED. I OPENED THE GLASS DOORS WHICH LED TO THE BALCONY. EVERYTHING LOOKED BEAUTIFUL AT NIGHT. THE WATER IN THE POOL WAS STILL. THE CHAISE LOUNGES AND OUT - DOOR SOFAS WERE NEATLY ARRANGED.
THERE WAS A SILHOUETTE SITTING ON THE SOFA. IT WAS LOOKING AT THE POOL. I COULDN' T SEE WHO IT WAS BUT I KNEW THE PERSON. IT WAS NICHOLAS. FOR THE FIRST TIME I WITNESSED A SMILE ON HIS FACE. I WAS LOST IN MY OWN THOUGHTS AND DIDN'T I KNOW THAT NICHOLAS SAW ME.
WHEN I REALISED IT, I IMMEDIATELY WENT INSIDE THE ROOM AND CLOSED THE GLASS DOORS. IT WAS SO EMBARRASSING.
"OH MIND! WHY ARE YOU NOT IN YOUR SENSES." I SAID TO MYSELF. AFTER THIS EVENT I DIDN' T KNOW HOW TO FACE HIM. I SAT ON BED, THINKING ABOUT THE NEXT DAY. AFTER SOME TIME I FELL ASLEEP.
THE NEXT MORNING, I WOKE UP, TOOK A SHOWER AND CAME DOWN FOR BREAKFAST. OLIVIA QUICKLY ATE HER BREAKFAST AND STARED AT ME. SIREN HAD TROUBLE TO KEEP UP THE PACE WITH HER SISTER WHILE EATING (SHE WAS A SLOW EATER). I ENQUIRED ABOUT NICHOLAS.
"WHY? ARE YOU MISSING HIM, MRS. CHARMING?" SIREN ASKED PLAYFULLY.
"CALL ME LINDA." I SAID WITH A SMILE.
"BIG BROTHER HAD SOME WORK SO HE LEFT EARLY. HE IS ALWAYS BUSY AND DOESN' T HAVE A LOT OF TIME FOR US." OLIVIA SAID.
"I GUESS, EVEN I HAVE WORK. I LEAVE WITH YOUR PERMISSION, MY HIGHNESSES." I ASKED, JOKINGLY.
BOTH OF THEM LAUGHED. I HELD MY HAND BAG AND SAT IN MY CAR. THE RIDE WAS PEACEFUL. I GOT DOWN FROM MY CAR AND ENTERED MY COMPANY' S BUILDING.

MY STAFF GREETED ME. I WENT TO MY OFFICE ROOM AND SAT AT THE TABLE. FIRST I COMPLETED CHECKING SOME PAPERS. I ORDERED A CUP OF COFFEE. I CONTINUED WITH MY WORK. I CHECKED SOME OF MY PRODUCTS AND DRESSES. I ATE MY LUNCH. I SAT ON MY CAR AND WENT TO ANOTHER PLACE.
GUESS WHERE I CAME? I CAME TO THE PLACE WHERE A SHOOT WAS GOING TO TAKE PLACE FOR MY NEW PRODUCTS (THEY HAD TO BE DISPLAYED AND ADVERTISED BY MAKING ADDS). THE SHOOT WENT ON FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. I WAS EXHAUSTED BUT HAPPY TO HAVE DONE SOMETHING EFFECTIVE.
I LEFT THAT PLACE AND WAITED FOR MY CAR TO ARRIVE. INSTEAD OF MY BLUE CAR, THERE WAS A BLACK CAR IN FRONT OF ME. A MAN GOT OUT OF IT AND OPENED THE DOOR FOR ME TO GET IN. I SAT IN IT. ANOTHER PERSON WAS SITTING BESIDE ME. HE WAS A PERSON WHO DIDN' T NEED ANY INTRODUCTION - NICHOLAS.
"WHY DID YOU COME?" I ASKED NERVOUSLY.
"WHAT?" HE ASKED.
"WHY DID YOU COME TO PICK ME UP?"
"I DIDN' T COME TO PICK YOU UP WILLINGLY. IT WAS MY SECRETARY' S IDEA." HE REPLIED CASUALLY.
HIS WORDS HURT ME. WHATEVER IT WAS, HE COULD' VE SAID THAT HE CAME FOR ME. I WOULD' VE TO WAIT FOR HIM TO SAY THAT AND I KNEW IT WOULD TAKE TIME. HE WANTED TO CONTINUE SAYING BUT HE STOPPED.
HE REALISED HIS MISTAKE BUT COULDN' T APOLOGISE FOR IT. HE KEPT GLANCING AT ME.
