Rock Me // H.S.

Chapter Two

"GOOD EVENING, Mr. Styles." The two lovely maids stepped closer and bowed to him like a god that he is. I followed them and bowed too, even though I was a bit late for that.

"Good evening, ladies." He greeted back with a businessman's voice. I watched him as his gaze fell on me. "Who are you?"

"My name is Adelaide, sir." I answered without making eye contacts with him. Damn, how could he be as attractive as this?! I lowered my head a bit. I felt him move his legs and the next thing I knew was he was just a few inches far from me.

"Look up, Adelaide. I'm right here." He demanded with a stern voice as he lifted my face with his index and middle finger. This made me look straight at him. His eyes stared deeply down to mine, 'causing the butterflies in my tummy that I never knew was there, go wild. God, he is breathtaking! He smiled down at me. "Welcome to the house."

He walked away. Yes. Just like that. We were left dumbfounded. Especially the two girls.

"He stared... he stared at you." Mara said with eyes wide open.

"He actually welcomed you..." Jane said too, with the same expressions in their faces.

"Come on, let's get his dinner done." I said and shrugged the moment.

After fifteen minutes, there were no trace of Mr. Styles coming down from the stairs or what. I started getting impatient, and I don't know why.

"I'll check up on him." Carol says, standing up from her seat. The moment Carol was out of sight, I looked to the two girls.

"They're close." I said as I noticed.

"Yeah. Ma'am Carol is like his aunt, but they're not blood related at all." Jane says back.

"She's been with Mr. Styles since this house was built." Mara added. "Four years ago."

So, Mr. Styles was married for four years now. And they already have a child.

"How old is Lucio?" I asked Mara and Jane.

"Three." Jane answered.

"Where is he now?" I asked again.

"At Cheshire. Former Mrs. Styles misses her grandson." She replied.

"With Mrs. Styles?" I questioned.

"Yes." Jane nodded.

Just on cue, Carol came down with our big boss from the stairs. We immediately rose yo from our seat on the dining table.

"Please, sit down. Eat dinner with me." The boss says. We hesitantly sat back there again. I gave Jane a look since I felt her gaze on me. The boss took the throne. Jane and Mara sat beside each other, on the left side of the king. I sat on the right side of Mr. Styles, as Carol sat beside me, on my left.

We started serving ourselves and Mr. Styles took care of his own self too. At least he's not that bad.

"Who cooked this?" Mr. Styles asked, all of a sudden. Looking at us, one by one.

"Mara did." I answered. Mara looked at me and I looked back to Mr. Styles.

"Hm. This is good." He complemented on the steak.

"They helped, Sir." Mara added. Mr. Styles nodded approvingly. We earned a hidden smile from Carol.

Dinner ended soon without us talking but with my hands trembling as I take the spoon up to my mouth. Mr. Styles rose up from his seat.

"Um, Adelaide. Can you meet me in my office? We have some things to discuss." He invited.

"Of course, Mr. Styles." I just nodded and my eyes followed him up the stairs.
