ALEXA'S POV

Making my way in the kitchen, I found no one insight to disturb me from making a meal. I hope Mr. Brown doesnt mind me spending dinner at his mansion, I don't want to go home to find Cody asking me about questions with the mission.

I hummed a tune quietly while preparing ingredients for dinner while humming along, trying to calm myself. The song came to an abrupt end as the oven dinged. Grabbing my apron, I wiped my hands on it before wrapping it around me tightly and walked over to the oven with determination in my steps. The apron tied snug on my body. My cheeks flushed slightly as I stared at the tray of freshly baked casserole.

I couldn't help feeling excited and nervous. It felt weird having an actual purpose other than being a decoration for your boyfriend's life and a punching bag for a manchild, I'm glad I get the opportunity to take some time for myself.

Taking a few plates and utensils with me on a tray, I plate the casserole amd head upstairs. I quickly took

He gives a nod before speaking again,"I don't have my employees coming here to spend their day-off as I don't intend the mansion to be a vacantion house," Mr. Brown chuckles making me flustered."But I would like to ask if you'd like to join us out?"

Before Mr.Brown could even reply from his protest, Nolan walks off without another word.Mr.Brown turns to smile softly at me."I apologize on behalf of him, I'll leave him be, I just wanted to check if he's alright." I said apologetically with a small sigh and shake of my head.Mr. Brown gives me a tight nod before going clearing his throat."Then that leaves the two of us," I blush at the thought and opened my mouth to talk."Like a

    ALEXA'S POV As we walked side by side through the halls to the next room, my mind is in panic on what to tell Anthony. I feel as though he already knows, but it's best to lie for now. If he already kmows the truth,then surely he isn't going to let a thief work for him.Mr.Brown seemed to sense my nervousness as he gently wrapped his arm around my arm, pulling me closer to his side. He wasn't taking advantage of the fact that I'm naked under a towel, I feel relieved knowing he wouldn't do anything to hurt me. "What are you thinking about?" He whispered in my ear, making goosebumps erupt all over my body. "Um nothing important..." I lied, attempting to act casual despite my shaky hands, and shaking knees.The corner of his mouth turned up at my attempt at sounding unconvincing."If you say so..." his smile slowly disappeared, as we continued off to the hotspring. I didn't bother opening my legs once we reached the hot springs, letting out a moan as the water surrounded me. I closed

    ALEXA'S POV After packing the lunch in a small container, I carefully put it inside an insulated bag. My heart skipped a bit as I reread the message he sent, "Make me some lucn for the two of us. See you later." I felt a wave of heat rush on my cheeks as I thought of his voice saying those words. Shaling my head to focus, I zip up the bag and went outside when the driver was waiting for me. As I got into the backseat with my food, a few drops of perspiration started trailing down my brow and neck, which made me shiver in disgust. My hands shook and my stomach felt queasy. Even though they were covered with gloves, I wiped them off on my pants and then rubbed the sweat away with my shirt. I looked over at the driver, who was looking straight forward, pretending to not notice me wiping sweat off my face. My heart sped up even more as fear took hold of me. The thought of having to talk to him after our argument made my heart race faster. What if he hated me or tried to kick me out bec

I stood there confused as he asked me."My son is out on a date with his girlfriend after classes, so you're left with nothing to do at home, correct?" I nodded in response to his question. "Then I don't mind taking you out. You won't have to stay longer than a couple hours. It will make me happy to have your company around me." He continued walking while he had his hands in his pocket as he makes his way to his desk where his keys were, but my feet seemed glued to the ground as I stared at the back of his gray suit.My gaze slowly followed his movement, trying to calm the rapid beating of my heart. Why was I being asked out by someone I don't know, someone who hates me no less? Why didn't Nolan come along with him? I'm starting to wonder if it's even worth it to try to explain things. Is it really a good idea to let myself be around Mr.Brown after what Nolan said?I was shocked and speechless. I looked up at Mr.Brown

    ALEXA'S POV "Sir, why did you ask me out on a date?" I asked as we both sat at the back of his car's trunk. The door had been liften up so in case it rained it would prevent us from getting wet. "Why wouldn't I?" He glanced back at me before giving me another smile.Did he already forget?"I'm not saying I'm complaining, but isn't that a little sudden?" My words came out more bluntly than I meant it too."You should never rush these things, Alexa. Don't ever doubt yourself or how wonderful the people around you are. Trust me when I say that, I've met my fair share of people who never understand love or kindness.""How old did you grow up?" I inquired further."Nineteen years old, Alexa,"This man, Mr.Brown, had grown up a very mature person despite his age. He had a hard life, yet he seemed to have found peace.Maybe having Nolan early in his life blessing in disguise. Maybe that was the reason for his happiness and acceptance.I shook off all thoughts and focused on my surroundi
