Lord Lionel Shahbandar had everything that others could not even dream of. His own company, money until he dropped and a huge estate.
But one thing he did not have.
A love he neither sought nor missed.
Only when he ha...

Saskia must have finally fallen asleep on the bed when she awoke in the morning. She looked at the clock and realized without a guilty conscience that she should probably already be at her boss's, but she couldn't care less about him now.
She struggled out of the uncomfortable bed and went to the bathroom. The apartment seemed quiet, which was very pleasant right now. Since she hadn't taken off her makeup yesterday, she looked smeared accordingly. Without consideration, she simply took a cleansing lotion and cotton pads from her roommate, since her things were not here. Further, she got rid of her clothes and went to take a shower.
Refreshed and dried, she stood in her room, Saskia immediately felt much better. Fortunately, she still had a spare toothbrush there. She opened the closet and searched through her few clothes that had remained here. After all, she didn't need that much at Lionel's, she was only staying there temporarily.
She was determined to provoke her boss, so she chose a pair of light blue jeans, ripped at the knees. To go with it, a shirt in dark green. She purposely wanted to look as casual as possible, so he wouldn't think he was special to her.
She sat on her bed and thought about how she should proceed. Should she call Mihai or see how she got to the secluded estate herself?
Lionel woke up on his sofa, admittedly it had not been the best sleep he had had lately, but it could have been worse. He would get ready for the day now, he wanted to continue working, together with Saskia, on the book.
As he walked into the dining room, freshly showered and dressed, he immediately asked his butler if Saskia was already present, but he replied in the negative.
Lionel's eyebrows furrowed, but he sat down at the table. After all, he would need a good meal. Lost in thought, he helped himself to the well-balanced breakfast and enjoyed it anyway. He would confront Saskia, after all he had told her yesterday that she should be there in the morning and now it was already mid-morning.
He instructed his butler to take care of this matter. He in turn talked to Mihai about the situation. The driver thought it best to just call her, luckily he had her number.
Saskia was still looking at her phone when it began to ring and she immediately picked it up, "Mihai! Good morning." They talked on the phone for a moment and Sia finally gave in to being picked up. After all, she didn't want to risk her job either. But she asked him if he could pick her up in another vehicle. To which he agreed.
Mihai was delighted that he had managed to persuade Saskia to let him pick her up. He could not imagine the thunderstorm that would have ensued if she had not come. When she asked him to come with another car he had to grin and a little plan came to his mind.
In the meantime it was time for Saskia to go downstairs, so she wouldn't keep the driver waiting unnecessarily. At first she thought he wasn't there yet, but when he waved at her, she didn't think she could see properly.
Mihai was seriously standing on the side of the road with a silver vintage convertible after all. Since it was nice today, he had the top down. Saskia approached him and said, "You must be crazy. Inconspicuous is different!"
But he just grinned cheekily and said, "I thought you were just talking about another car, you never said inconspicuous."
Saskia shook her head with a smile and ran her hand reverently over the beautiful car and got in. Mihai stepped on the gas and Sia's hair flew wildly in the airstream, it just felt wonderful and liberating! For the moment, all the annoyances were forgotten. Even the biggest one, which was still in front of her, named Lionel.
Saskia enjoyed the ride as long as she could before it started.
Arriving at Lionel's estate, Saskia quickly got out and took her bag right away. The butler was already waiting at the door and asked her to go immediately to the gallery, because Mister Shahbandar was waiting for her there. At first she wondered if she should take the bag to her room, but she didn't want to make him even angrier by wasting more time.
Quickly she climbed up the few steps and opened the door. Sia glanced around, but saw no one. She loudly slammed her bag on the sofa.
Lionel was with Leonardo at the other end of the gallery when an indefinable noise was heard. The lion pricked up his ears and went in the direction of the sound to check it out. Lionel stopped to look at the newly purchased painting for a while, but it suddenly occurred to him that it could be Saskia and that the lion was now on its way to her. He quickly turned around and hurried after the animal.
Saskia was still standing by the sofa when she suddenly heard a noise behind her. As soon as she turned around, Leonardo was standing in front of her, which made her startle for a second. Since she didn't know how he would react to her when her boss wasn't present. But the animal did nothing of the sort but stand in front of her. Slowly she raised her hand and stroked his head.
Lionel just came around the corner and stopped abruptly. What he saw here he could hardly believe. Sassy was standing in front of Leo with worn jeans and hair standing in all directions, stroking him as if it were Gem standing in front of her.
Slowly he continued walking, she hadn't seen him yet. "Sassy, a miracle, are you there already too?" he addressed her.
With sparkling eyes she looked up at him. Just at that moment she reminded him of a lioness. Even though they didn't actually have manes that stuck out in all directions.
"Mister Shahbandar," she said formally to him.
Leonardo decided to move on, thus only the two of them stood in front of each other as if they were about to fight. The tension between them became unbearable. Saskia had to admit it, but he just looked hot when he was kind of angry and she had definitely achieved that with her statement.
Lionel took a step forward and simply pulled Saskia to him. Without lingering long with any words, he lowered his lips to hers and began to kiss her passionately.
Immediately, Saskia wrapped her arms around him and pressed herself even closer to Lionel. Greedily she opened her lips, their tongues began to play a hot game. She could already feel his arousal, so close she stood to him. "Don't make me wait so long for you," he murmured against her ear, kissing along her neck.
