Healing Touch

¤Chapter 22¤

Eleanor woke up to the sound of talking. She looked to her side to see Roman wasn't besides her. She slowly sat up rubbing her head. Her eyes grew realising she had slept in.

She scrambled around to find a phone and quickly dialled Danielle's number. After the third ring she had picked up.

"Danielle I know I'm late bu-"

"You're not late. Roman called and said you wouldn't be able to make it today."

"Oh..." She said follows by a sigh off relief.

"Yeah anyway but Jolene is having such fit about it." She could sense her rolling her eyes.

"Just ignore her." Eleanor grumbled. "She's just seeking for attention." She stated bitterly.

"So how did your date go?" She asked.

"How did you know about it?" She asked.

"I saw the roses and the card on the floor." She stated. "And luckily I put it away before Jolene could see it."

"Gosh did I forget to lock my office?" She said wuth a whine.

"Yes hut I locked it up for you." Danielle said. "Listen I've got to get going I'll talk to you when I can."

"Ok bye." She smiled.

"Bye girl." Danielle hung up.

She put the phone down and went into the bathroom. She stripped off everything she wore and hoped into the shower. Once she had finished showering she went into the bedroom to see an outfit laid out for her.

She got dressed and left her hair down shaking out her hair seeing no brush around. Once she had put on her shoes she made her way downstaurs. When she got there seeing Gabriel sitting down talking to Roman.

"Hey." She greeted Gabriel with a small hug.

"I'll be in the kitchen." Gabriel stated after he had greeted her.

They both watched him walk out before Eleanor turned to Roman with a smile. "Why didn't you wake me up so I could get to work on time?" She asked him.

"Because when we went to sleep it was around three a.m." He reminded her.

"Well it's not my fault that we didn't go to sleep straight away." She rolled her eyes.

"Are you blaming me for last night?" He asked her.

"Of course I am." She exclaimed. "And technically it was early morning." She added.

Roman chuckled. "You're the one who started talking and even when I started falling asleep you urged me to answer you."

Looking away she let out a breath. "Then you shouldn't have answered me in the first place." She grumbled.

"I'm not even going to persue this argument because we are clearly not going anywhere with it." Roman gave her a smile.

Eleanor simply kissed her teeth with an eye roll. "Doesn't matter." She muttered. "Anyway what's going to happen now?" She asked him.

"Paul will drive you to the mall so you can occupy yourself while I handle a few meeting and last night's incident."

"Why don't I go back to the mansion?" She asked him.

"Because I can assure you that you'll be bored." He stated taking out his wallet and handing her the credit card.

"Whoa..." She trails off followed by a whistle. "You're trusting me with a no limit card?" She asked him.

Roman chuckled as he walked her towards the door. "You better be glad that I do trust you with such a card and don't loose it." He told her.
