I woke up grudgingly. Last night was a disaster since I couldn't sleep after that horrible nightmare (heavy sigh). I thought it will end one way or another but it got worse.
I ringed the bell to my left and my door opened instantly. Since the "accident", I was so desperate I didn't even bother to accommodate myself. So the brilliant old women that she is, Anna (our housekeeper) , came up with this idea. She took care of me after mom was gone and I was grateful.
She pulled me up then handed me a cup of water and some pills. I knew she was choosing my outfit, she knew my taste in clothes.
"You have guests tonight", she said simply.
"Good morning to you too. And I know, I just have to get this over with".
I can feel her nodding her head absently which was funny but that's Anna so I'm not so surprised.
I had a quick bath, then put on my dress. She told me it's my favourite blood-red knee-length dress. I felt the cold air on my bare back and instantly shivered. It's a bit exposing but I don't care. She took care of my hair and make-up then released me. THANK GOD!
Today, I have a meeting with some business men who were close to my dad. They want to discuss the plans they have already started with him and since I am second in line to inherit the company I would have to deal with it. I was never interested in this thing, the company, investments and all that. I'm 18 for God's sake !!
*Time skip*
It was lunch time and I was talking with a Mr. Johnson who thought I should reconsider hiring new employees.
And that's his business because ...?!
It didn't matter because he kept talking and talking and I held the urge to yawn.
What?! I love sleeping !!
"I really appreciate your advice Mr. Johnson, but I-"
"Call me William," he interrupted.
"Right. But I'd like to remind you that you are in no position to tell me what to do."
Silence. Dead silence.
Good. I'm smiling brightly. 😆
Suddenly, a masculine smell hit me and I fought the urge to moan in pleasure.
I inhaled it, savouring it.
"Nice. It's rather impossible to shut William up. I'm impressed."
He spoke in my ear, his seductive voice made me shiver.
I hope he didn't notice, but I knew he did. Somehow he didn't know I can't see, but for the first time since that "accident" I wish I can see his features and check him up and down.
(Sigh)
Why am I reacting this way to him. It's like my body has a mind of its own.
"My name is Adrian. Adrian Black."
Adrian. Ugh! This is going to be a long day ....
