ROBERT

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Bradley."

I stepped away from the estate manager, grabbing my vibrating phone from my pocket to answer the call.

As I continued to walk away from the mansion's busy corridor, the ringing became louder and I looked at the screen, where I saw Renee's name flash across.

Swiping the answer button while simultaneously pushing open a set of wooden doors, my eyes darted around and caught sight of the balcony.

The sky outside was cloudless and a little dark because it was getting late, but the view was still lovely, and hearing Renee's voice would make it even better.

"Robert?...." She sounded nervous and confused, making me worry for a split second.

"Hello, baby girl. Are you okay?"

"Why are you asking that? Of course, I am okay." She replied, chuckling on the other end. The sound made me relax again.

"You didn't sound alright at first. Is there a problem? Talk to me...." I trailed off as I gently closed the door and walked to the large balcony, gripping the railing tightly and staring ahead.

"Everything is the problem, Robert." She said after a brief moment of silence. Before I could respond, she added, "Where the hell are you?!"

"Oh..." I couldn't complete my thought, my eyes falling to the ground floor before returning to the dusky sky. "Are you already at the suite?" I asked gently, and she huffed in response.

"Talk to me, Renee."

"Yes, I am. Add that to the fact that I might be a bit pissed right now, Rob."

"Why?"

"Why? You sound sarcastic and nonchalant. I don't like your tone, especially when I arrive at the suite expecting you to be here. Where are you?"

I leaned against the railing, chuckling, and hummed. "I'm somewhere, but I'll be with you soon."

"How soon?" She asked and added. "We're supposed to have a date tonight. Your driver arrived on time to pick me up, and now I'm in your hotel suite, holding a card inscribed with my personal details. There's no sign of you, and I'm all alone in this big place."

"Calm down, Renee."

"Robert!" Her tone was even firmer now. For some reason, the sound made blood rush to my groin, causing me to grumble.

What this woman did to me. She was angry at my absence, but her pissed-off, sexy voice made me crave her more.

I chuckled darkly again, my throat bobbing.

"Robert!" She called out again, "Whatever game you're playing, I just—"

"Be calm, Renee." I interrupted before she got too worked up. "The card you have. I requested it. It's your key to my hotel suite, and you're welcome to visit whenever you want. I should've given it to you long ago, but you now have it."

"Okay. Where have you gone?" She asked, and I could hear some minor scuffle sounds in the background as if she was searching angrily for something.

"I went to check up on something. I'll be home soon."

"What did you go to check up on? Where are you? Tell me, Robert!" She continued to pester me, and the grin on my face widened.

I felt terrible doing this, but she had to be patient. I was bringing her to the mansion tomorrow. All her questions and concerns would be put to rest, but this had to be secret for now.
