Restoring Hope

18. won't be so bad❤️‍🩹

Kaliyah P.O.V

I walk out of his office on wobbly legs. Geez that man is something else.

I look both directions for anything familiar but don't see anything that can help me get back to Hope. I realize that I don't know where I'm at or how to get back to the rest of them.

I turn back around and open the door and see him still leaning on his desk, staring at the door. He knew that I didn't know how to get back.

I stayed at the door staring at him as he stayed on his desk staring at me.

"Are you going to help me get back to Hope or not?" I ask while putting my hands on my hips.

He stands up fully and slowly walks towards me.

"Yes. But first, we will go over some things." He says as he walks out the door. I sigh and follow him out of his office.

We walk to the end of the hallway and he opens a door that reveals an elevator. We get on and he presses the button for the highest floor.

I stand awkwardly facing forward but I can feel his stare on me. I start to get irritated but before I can say anything the elevator stops moving and the doors slide open.

I follow him out and we stop at the other side of the hallway where there are three different rooms. "This-" he points to the door on the right "is my room. And that-" he points at the room directly across from his "is your room."

"And where is Hope and Jasmine rooms?" I ask with an eyebrow raised. "They're on the floor under us." He says.

"Why aren't they on the same floor as us?" I ask.

"Because no one is allowed on my floor but me." He states. "Then why am I on this floor?" I ask challengingly.

"You're asking too many questions." He says while opening what is supposed to be my room door. "I will send a maid up. She will take your measurements and we'll bring you some clothes up. I suggest you shower because quite frankly, you stink. You will have clothes waiting for you on your bed before you're done with your shower." With that said, he turns around and leaves while closing the door.

I stand in the middle of the floor while looking around the room. It's not a fancy room, it's actually quite simple but I love it. The room is very spacey with a large queen bed against a wall. There's a large puffy black area carpet surrounding the bed. The room is very comfortable with a mainly black color style.

I walk over and open the curtains on a wall to reveal a big balcony. I walk out on the balcony and there's acres of trees. It's so beautiful. I love nature so much so being surrounded by trees oddly brings me a sense of peace.

I walk out to the edge of the balcony and lean on the rails. Looking down I see a huge backyard with a huge pool. Oh yeah.

I stand out there admiring the view until there's a knock on my door. I shout for them to come in as I close and lock the balcony door.

Turning around I'm faced with a guy. He's about a foot taller than me with a lean muscular build and very attractive. "Hi ma'am, I'm here to take your measurements." I stare at him for a few seconds until I snap out of it. "Power said he was sending a maid up for that-" I look him up and down before looking him in the eyes again, "And you don't look like a maid." I say while crossing my arms over my chest.
