"I mean because of Holland." He cleared his throat and smiled nervously. "I can't wait to have you around because of Holland."
"Oh. I get. You're a good father." I was disappointed, really, but I understood him. He just met me, and he definitely could not have fallen for me in such a short time. Unlike me, I'm sure he doesn't fall in love with strangers because he is horny. He can get any girl he wants anyway.
In my defense, I was not in love with him yet, just a little infatuated. He was so hot any woman would be captivated.
Today, he was clad in a grey-tailored suit that highlighted those eyes that looked like they could unravel all your secrets.
"I try my best, but I don't know. I don't know if it's good enough." He smiled sadly. "She still won't talk to me. She sometimes gets scared when I hold her and only warms up to the driver."
My suspicion again got the best of me. I wanted to know more about this driver. I haven't spoken to him, but my instincts told me I wouldn't like him. It was as if my soul rejected him even before It knew him. Something was wrong with him, and I was determined to find out.
"So, your driver." I cleared my throat. "Is he by any chance related to you?"
He chuckled. "Of course not. He is just a boy who used to work for my Dad's factory before I took him up to train him. He is such a sweet boy you will like him."
I doubt that.
"Sure. I just want to know everyone I would be working with."
"Hearing you say that feels good." He admits, a sickly sweet smile on his face. "You know I've been willing to ask you for this Favour for a long time, but I was scared you would reject it."
"I'm glad you finally did."
"I'm glad. I promise to make your work easy by changing my ways." He winked. Julian looked more at peace today, different from his stressed self, and I was overjoyed because I could offer him relief. My stomach fluttered with happiness.
"Indeed. I see the effort you are putting to change your ways." I finally replied.
He cackled, and I joined in, looking down to hide my blush. "Can I have your number? So I can text you when my driver is ready to pick you up tomorrow. It would be best if you didn't have to come to my house alone. It's in the heart of New Everest; thus, it might be difficult to find."
"Oh, sure." I licked my lips.
I took out a card from my bag and gave it to him.
"You are a lawyer?" He smiled, looking impressed as he went over my card.
"Yea. Though not practicing."
He maintained eye contact with me for a second, which felt like a year. "Would you like to walk me to the car, Samantha?"
