Sydney Mdlalose's Fate-Twisted Fairytale(Edited)

Chapter Eighteen.

{Meet Keith Fuller. Keith owns Seattle's biggest bank and grew up in the Miller mansion. He is kind, smart and a go-getter.}

<><>
After waiting for what felt like an hour, Andre steps back into his office, laughing. He is followed by a gorgeuos black man.

I stand up from the desk chair. They eventually finish laughing and turn to me. The man kindly smiles at me. I walk closer towards the two, standing myself nearer to Andre. The man extends a hand out to me.

I smile, taking it as our hands shake. "Hi, I'm Keith. Keith Fuller. And you must be Sydney."

"Uh, Keith is one of our partners. He owns a worldwide bank in Seattle, SWWB." Andre interrupts. Keith chuckles. "Seattle World-Wide Banking."

"Him and I grew up together." He adds. "Oh." I say.

"I guess we'll be seeing a lot of each other then." Keith says. I smile, nodding my head.

Andre's phone suddenly rings. He pulls it out. "I have to take this." He leaves the office leaving Keith and I alone. I take a seat on the couch placed in the office. Keith continues to stand as he places his hands in his pockets.

I must say, he has a great sense of style judging from the way he is dressed today.

"What's a girl like you doing with a guy like Andre?" He asks. My gaze moves to the view behind Andre's desk. "What is that suppose to mean exactly?"

"Well," Keith shrugs. "Whatever you want it to mean."

"I don't know what you expect me to say but I guess the heart wants what it wants." I answer. Keith nods with a slight shrug. "I guess that's a fair answer." But it's not an honest one.

Something seems all to familiar about this man. Like I've met him before. But I can't pinpoint as to where and when.

We then sit silently. My body tenses as I feel Keith's eyes staring down at me. I squeeze my legs together, pulling my dress out to cover more of my thighs.

"You really like Andre, don't you?" Keith asks. I nod. "Yes, very much."

He then turns to his watch with a sigh. "Where is this boy?" He opens the door. "Excuse me." He closes the door as he exits. I sigh. I won't lie, I'm bored.

The door swings open as Andre enters after Keith. "I guess I'll see you love birds later. I have a few things to attend to before tonight." Keith says.

I wave at him as the two shake hands. "Sorry about all the waiting." Andre apologises. "Don't worry about it."

He takes a seat at his desk. "You don't mind sitting there for a bit more, right?" I shake my head.

Of course I mind. I'm bored out of my mind. I don't really want to be here. Why am I even here?

I sigh and remove my heels. I stand up and walk towards the view, my back towards Andre.

Andre pulls me down from behind, seating me on his lap. I get comfortable as we both stare out at the beauty before us.

"Tonight, there's going to be a party. It's more of a business party. But I want you beside me." Andre says into my neck. I nod.

He places a soft kiss on my shoulder. "Let me quickly finish here so you can go shopping for an outfit."

I roll my eyes. Okay, it's great to be able to get a new outfit every day. An outfit you know you can't afford, but it's slowly getting on my nerves.

Living with rich people, being someone I'm not, kind of isn't as dreamy as it looks. I speak for myself.

I get up from Andre's lap and lie down on the couch. He'll wake me up when he's done.

<><>
"Sydney. Sydney, wake up. It's time to go." I groan as Andre's hand softly shakes me awake.

I sigh, sitting up. Andre smiles. "Come on, let's go shopping."

Never in my life have I met a man who is so keen on going shopping with a woman. Most of the time they complain about how long we take, especially when we get dressed.

I put my shoes back on. As I stand, I try to smooth out the creases on my dress.

"Relax Sydney. There's nothing." Andre chuckles. I grab my purse and lead the way out of the office.

We both say our goodbyes to Nia. And compared to when we got here, the place is in a way better shape. More organised.

After entering the elevator, Andre swiftly pulls me towards him, leaving a soft kiss on my forehead. My insides suddenly react as if I was having a sugar rush.

Look, I know what you're thinking. Andre and I happened quite too quickly. But if there is such a thing as love at first sight, then our timing is fair enough.

My face slowly heats up. "What was that for?"

He smiles. "Just a small sign of appreciation." The elevator doors slide open. We exit into the parking.

A smile spreads across my face as my eyes meet with the Furiosa. Andre opens the door for me. "Thank you." He then makes his way around, starting the car.

The interior of this car smells amazing. The car speeds off, making its way to the mall.
