When Emma came out of her daydreaming she bumped into a hard object, looking up Ready to spew some profanities while rubbing her now sore forehead, eyes ready to tear up she saw the object she had hit the turned around only to see Robert looking at her with a playful smile on his lips, the expression on his face seemed to be saying to her 'look at how stupid you are, you cannot even see where you're going' Robert would have sworn that he smiled just because he thought of her as cute in that particular moment and not how she had thought of him, Poor Robert always being misunderstood.
"Can't you walk where we won't have to bump into each other?" Emma looked at eyes full of grievances. Robert looked at the narrow passageway that could only accommodate one adult person and a toddler on the balcony of their master bedroom then looked back at Emma as if asking how I am to walk in a way that we won't bump into each other. Emma harrumphed a walked back to the master bedroom no longer caring about the house tour.
Robert looked at the sky full of stars and then looked back at the glass door that was closed with a bang and then sighed. He felt his pockets and took out a cigar and lit it up. Taking long dragging puffs. He was calm and collected but also one could see the loneliness on his face. Just as he was done with his cigar and was ready to go back to the room, he received a call from his assistant.
'Sir Evolving Company have refused to sign the contract and is asking for your presence for them to consider signing the contract with us.' Robert curled his lips dangerously. With his horse voice, he asked, "Can we get the goods from Yenzai Company? Have you tried asking them if they would supply us with the materials instead?"
The assistant answered tiredly" We have already tried asking Yenzai Company if they would be the ones to supply us with the materials, from the tone of their president when I reached out the invitation he was clearly excited but it seemed like there was something holding him back and he ended up saying that they had a lot of orders coming in and were pressed for time so they cannot accommodate us, other small company's also told me the same thing, so I figured maybe Evolving Company had something on them."
"Am I paying you to think or get facts? I need you to give me facts in an hour we will see from there how to go about it, for the time being, let me not get any calls about work unless necessary" Robert hung up after saying the last word.
Poor assistant.
Robert made his way inside the master bedroom, making Emma jump up like she had been caught doing something she should not be doing. Thinking that Robert was not looking she hurriedly closed the drawer she had been rummaging through, ehem looking through and went into the bathroom with her hands behind her back looking like she was not the one who was caught looking through the stuff, in a way it was also hers since she was the mistress of the house right? right? oh well forget about it, she would just pretend as if nothing had happened.
She ran off to the bathroom without taking her pyjamas. While she was running away Robert's heart was already at his throat afraid, she would slip and fall. Fortunately, he had asked the butler in advance for an anti-slippery mat to place in the bathroom, well now it seems like he had to ask the butler to make sure the whole house's floor is covered with anti-slippery carpet because he might not be there every day to watch after her. She was always doing things that worry him, his heart would beat more rapidly whenever he was close to her, she always had a way to make his heart restless,
Emma ran into the bathroom with a red face. She looked at herself in the mirror and patted her face a few times, before taking off her clothes to soak in the bathtub. She let out a sigh of contentment and closed her eyes to enjoy that moment. Soaking in a warm bath after a tiring day has always been the most comfortable feeling ever. Emma felt her pores open and her body relax. Completely forgetting about all the day's problems. And forgetting that she now shared the room with a hungry male. Emma slept in the bathtub completely exhausted, forgetting herself.
When she woke up, she found herself in the huge bed, already morning, the sun seeping from the little gaps in the curtain. It was morning already. Emma woke up lazily and then suddenly her eyes widened, and she hurriedly checked herself to find herself dressed in pink silk pyjamas and with no mark on her body, only then did her beating heart stops to beat frantically and calmly beat at the normal rate. She had already come up with every word of profanity that she could think of to curse Robert, thinking that he had taken advantage of her.
Just as she heard let out a breath of relief, nanny Lisa made her way inside her bedroom," Well just as I thought you might have been awake, sir left early in the morning at around 4 am, breakfast is already ready and will be served as at your command." Nanny Lisa talked while she busied herself with opening the curtains and picking up the dirty clothes into a laundry basket she heard come with.
"Uhm nanny were you the one who changed my clothes for me and helped me out of the bathtub, thank you for that, or I might have woken up with a cold today."
"Aiyoo there is no way the master is going to let you freeze to death, and it was not me who helped you out of the bathtub you might have misunderstood me, madam, no one comes into the master's room this is the first time I have been to this room ever since I came into this house while the master is at home and it was by sirs orders today he was afraid that you would wake up with a cold so he asked me to check up on you." Nanny Lisa answered her honestly. After giving her answer she left a dumfounded Emma behind
