His lasting smile which he held on as long as he admired her soon faded and now his lips were parted, stunned at how Matilda had handled the kerchief. She wiped her face clean and went ahead to pour all her nose fluid aggressively into the kerchief. She knew what she was doing. His designer kerchief, she was going to mess it up not caring how he'd feel even though he was only trying to be nice."I guess I should thank you." Her voice was roguish as she spoke. She stood up passing a glare at him. " As you know already I ran out of gratitude." She clutched her bag leaving his presence not turning a bit to even look at his reaction. She had also dropped his kerchief on the floor using her heels to ruffle it on the ground."H-how could she? My designer.... Shit! Mati You have no idea how much this cost! He yelled even though she was out of sight."I bet it cost three times your underwear." He bit the inside of his lips, regretting his words instantly. The house steward who stood outside th
As Andre walked into his company's building, his staffs could see the visible anger evident in his facial expression. They held gossip chats as they glued on each other to talk about his mood. Their boss was always calm in appearance even when things weren't going well but seeing him with such a mood only meant one thing that he had encountered his father but that wasn't possible because he was late now. What could have gotten him in such a mood? Sadly, James his personal assistant was the one to deal with this mood of his."Do you need anything?" "Get lost!" He yelled startling James who was only trying to make him calm down. James left instantly as if the rage in his voice had swept him off. Hearing his father's sugar baby was present at the reading of the will did stir him up more than knowing that Charlotte was also present. Andre had gotten into his office somehow, even when he wasn't completely conscious of his environment his feet managed to get him where he needed to be.He
Matilda shivered from the rains chill over her body, she kept her gaze fixed on the car and in no time its doors opened revealing the dark figure of a man who she could tell had amazing features. He had an umbrella over his head and his heels walked calmly towards her till he was standing right in front of her. Her tears had blurred her vision but this man before her seemed very familiar and his scent, not something she could quickly forget. The glimpse image of their proximity back at the parking lot flashed through her mind and her heart leaped at the realization that he was the one now in front of her. She stood up quickly trailing her eyes through his body.Andre's eyes followed her up as she rose, his lips parting to utter a word. "I guess we see again." He said in a low voice. Matilda was quiet breathing out cold air, the look she had on her eyes gave him conflicting assumptions."H-have you been following me?" She asked shuffling back. At this point it was evident that the look
What was he going to do? She wondered, perplexed by his action. The door paved way further as he strode into the room. "What are you doing?" She inquired, watching his every move carefully. He seemed way too relaxed and unfazed by her nervousness. He slowly let the door close behind him and now it was just the two of them within these walls."Making sure you're safe." Andre replied as he began to move about her room, scanning everywhere with his eyes to catch a hint of danger. "I told you it was my brother." She spoke behind him as he walked towards her window. He played with the curtains before taking a quick look outside through it. Matilda's heart was racing. If he tried anything stupid she was going to scream at the top of her voice.Andre took one last tour of the room before turning to face her. " You have a comfortable place." He tried to compliment. Matilda raised a brow wondering if he really thought so."Certainly nothing compared to yours so I have a hard time believing y
She held that look on her face, the one that showed she wanted to hide away, if possible sucked in by the ground. She looked at Andre helpless, hoping he'd save the situation."Your brother?" Andre whispered to her hearing, a hand resting on the wall while the other holding her shoulder up so she wouldn't slide down. She nodded and he pulled away from her. The both standing to face him with Matilda in front."Tyler, you... What are you doing here?" She asked nervously as she walked closer to him." He had dark hair like her and it was a bit curly. He wore a black hoodie top and a brown trouser, his muscular arms left bare with tattoos covering it up. He looked like a gangster and made no effort to hide it at all. Andre could now understand why he would break his sister's door if she clearly banned him."Who is he?" He inquired totally ignoring her question. Matilda glanced back at Andre and returned her focus to her brother."Can we talk about that later?' She whispered hoping Andre w
As he thought it, she came in, proving the saying "speaking of the devil." She was all dressed up to have dinner bearing that smile that had another meaning to it."Lena." Andre called surprised."My love." She strode towards him dropping a kiss on his lips while he stood still watching her with curious eyes. She giggled and clinged closely to him so that they looked like a couple. Miss Ashley seemed very pleased looking at them."What are you doing here?" He asked with a mean gaze. She seemed to be telling him something with her eyes. That his mother was there with them and he should put up with the act."Andre, I hope you ain't mad at me for involving Lena in this. I didn't force her, she actually offered to help." Miss Ashley explained." No mum, it's fine." He released himself from her hold pushing her away slightly but she tried covering up the awkwardness by laughing nervously. Miss Ashley tried to understand the situation but she didn't want anything to ruin the moment. She con
Three days had past and Matilda had been miserable, drowning in boredom and loneliness. Her room was dark and messy, everything had worked against her and she was partly depressed for those three days, except she wanted to live. At least if she must die she must see the bright part of life first. Today, she had decided to return to her part time work at the bar, Kim had called several times but she never answered nor returned her call. Marcus her boss was probably very mad at her now. He must hate her by now. She dragged her feet lazily as she began to clean up her room. She needed money to feed at least. Once she was done she grabbed her waste bag to dispose in the general refuse bin. The moment she opened her door, two panting dogs and Edward the Graham's house steward, greeted her. "Good morning Miss Matilda," he greeted with a forced smile plastered on his face, Matilda returned the fake gesture, then her face squeezed into a frown as she looked down on the dogs."I thought leav
Andre sat before a keyboard in his office, with James, his assistant, standing beside him. He appeared to be putting Andre through something."... And the dog appointment is tomorrow sir."" Push that to next week, I'll head home first to see the decoration process." Andre said, his eyes still glued on the keyboard. His house was going through some furniture changes and he had obliged to his mother's persuasion to get a new dog. With the success of his company, he was too occupied at work that he had not made out time to visit Matilda again.She must think he was a jerk who just stole kisses from her. He wanted to see her as badly but he wanted everything to settle down, so he'd treat her to some nice dinner."What's next?" He asked, feeling exhausted already."I made serious background checks on lots of sugar babies and I've compiled a list of the top and best ones. They have really awesome reviews." He turned the laptop slightly towards him and began navigating through the page.
