Flora headed down and saw Tom in the kitchen.
"Tom, can I ask you something?" Flora walked to him.
Tom, who was watering the pot beside the window, looked up as someone called him
"Yes?"
"Do you know any place where I can go?"
Tom raised an eyebrow in surprised.
"It's well... I'm bored and want to go out, so I was thinking if you could recommend me any places."
"O-Of course. I'd love to." Tom placed the watering can down and pointed Flora to sit down.
Flora sat down opposite him.
"There are a lot of places you can go, but I suggest you visit The Habsburg. It's the Imperial Palace which once served as the powerful seat of the ruler of the Habsburg dynasty. The Imperial Palace has other attractions too besides the Palace. You can visit the 'Imperial Palace' and the 'Sisi Museum'. The 'Imperial Palace will provide you with information about the Habsburg, and Habsburg-Lorraine family and also with the history of the Vienna Hofburg. As for the Sisi Museum, the museum will show you the live of the Empress of Austria."
Flora listened quietly at Tom and her eyes were sparkling like stars.
"And how do I get there?"
"You can take the car. I'll tell the driver to drop you directly at the Hofburg." Tom said.
"No." Flora shook her head, "I want to use public transport. So which one should I take?"
Tom looked surprised at the young woman in front of him. He didn't expect that this lady would take the public transport instead of a car.
"Hmm, let me think…" Tom laid his hand on his chin, gently rubbed on his chin. "Oh yeah, you can take the Trams: Tram 1,2, D and 71 alight at Burgring. You can also use the Underground with U3 (the orange line) alight at Herrengasse or maybe the Bus 1A and 2A alight at Hofburg." Tom explained to her.
Flora had taken notes at his words, and how and which public transport she will use.
"Besides the Imperial Palace, are there any other places you could tell me or maybe recommended me?" Flora looked at Tom hopefully.
"There are, like the Schönbrunn Palace and Gardens, the famous Vienna Zoo, The Belvedere Palace, Karlskirche, The National Theater, The Vienna State Opera House or the St. Stephen's Cathedral and last the Giant Ferris Whell in the Prater amusement park." Tom listed the famous places he know to her while Flora's eyes sparkled more than ever.
She was too excited. She wanted to go to those places and explored Austria.
"Great. This is too great. I want to visit those places. Please, Tom, tell me how I get in those places." Flora said enthusiastically.
Tom had never met such as interesting and enthusiasm as her. He let out chuckle.
Mahad came back to his mansion after the meeting. He was pissed and annoyed at the same time. Pissed because one of his employees had an extremely mistake and as for why he was annoyed, because Flora had refused to accompany him. He untighten his tie when he heard the laugh of woman. The warm of a woman filled his whole mansion with life. Mahad followed her voice and saw Flora talking excitedly with Tom, his housekeeper. She kept asking him and about places and how to get there. He noticed her eyes, which was twinkling and sparkling like stars. Mahad chuckled at the sight. Just the sight of her made him a little bit better. Flora still didn't notice him, as she kept asking Tom questions. Mahad listened to their conversation and realised that she was asking the destination about places, like the Belvedere Palace or the Vienna State Opera House. It downed to Mahad that she was asking the sightseeing places of Vienna. Mahad leaned his body against the doorframe and his crossed his arms together on his chest, looking at her. He coughed twice to get her attention.
Flora shoot her head to the direction where the cough came from. She looked up and noticed Mahad leaning against the door, again. She was startled to see him.
"H-Hello, there." She greeted him shyly, her eyes avoiding him a second later.
"Hey." A sexy male voice drawled.
"H-How was the meeting today?" She asked to bring up a topic to talk.
"Welcome Young Master." Tom stood up and greeted him.
Mahad walked in and nodded his chin in response to Tom.
"Should I get you something to drink?" Tom asked.
"No, there's not need. You can take the rest of the day off now, Tom." Mahad low voice said.
Tom blinked in surprised then nodded his head. He quietly left the room, only leaving Flora and Mahad behind.
"Well, maybe I should go too." Flora stood up and wanted to head to her room but was stopped a hand gripped on her right elbow from him.
"Where are you going?" He asked, looking at her.
Flora frown, "To my room?"
"I need to talk to you." Mahad said after he was looking at her.
Flora quickly silence after hearing the need in his voice. "Oh, yes, okay." She walked back to the coach. Mahad followed her and sat in front of her.
"So, what do you want to talk about?" Flora curious eyes glanced up at him.
Mahad didn't say anything, just looking at her.
"Earth to Mahad." She waved her hand in front of him.
Mahad lifted his head and saw Flora standing in front of him, staring down at him.
"Sorry, what did you say?"
"Talking. You said you need to talk to me." She prompted.
"Right. Talking. You know what just forget what I've said." He said with a small smile on his face, which made Flora aching as she wanted to touch the man in front of her.
"Go and change yourself. We are going out." Mahad stood up and walked up to his room, leaving Flora behind.
Mahad was pissed again. He didn't know why he felt like this. He was pissed because she didn't go to him to take her out to sightseeing or rather asking about his opinion to go outside. Instead of going to him and asking him, she went to the housekeeper and asked about his opinion. He knew that he left Flora behind at his mansion because he had worked to do, but he also wanted to spent time with her, but it was getting impossible in the last few days. He also knew that she was bored here in his mansion, as she had nothing to do. He could see it in her face. Her face was like an open book for him. He saw her face making different kind of expression and knew already what she wanted, or what she thought. That's why he got home early as possible today so that he can spent some time with her.
Flora sighed after he left. "What was that?" She scoffed, "Ah never mind. Better you go and change your clothes before he came back."
It took Flora fifteen minutes to pick up the right clothes. It was summer time in Austria right now and it was warm. Well, bloody hot right not. The temperatures are getting high. Flora had decided to wear her summer skirt, which goes to her knees and revealed the upper-back of hers. She wear a light sandal which suited for the dress.
Mahad was waiting downstairs for Flora. He looked up after he heard her footsteps coming up from the stairs. The way she look it took his breath away. Literally took his breath away.
She looks so stunning.
Mahad's gazed never left her. Not even a second. His eyes devoured the sight of her. She was too beautiful right now. Her dress swung on her body like a summer breeze and those hairs. Those curly brown hairs swung with her dress in a sync.
Flora stopped in front of him. She noticed that the man was staring at her. Never left her. His hungry eyes filled with lust made her nipples harden. Everything about this man was way too appealing for her. She noticed he had exchanged his suits in more like outdoors clothing. He wore a simple black t-shirt and short pants, which was also knee length. Flora had to admit that it was her first time looking at him wearing something else than his black, grey or blue suits. His strong body, his dark hair was messy and his dark eyes penetrating at her. Flora had been attracted to him since the day he stumbled in that bar in that night.
He had requested her to dance with him, and from that moment on, she'd been a goner. But Flora was hiding her true feelings to him. She didn't want him to get the wrong idea about her.
Mahad stretched his hand out to her. "Let's go."
Flora took at his hand for a full minute before she could response. Then she put her hand on his. Mahad tighten his grip on her hand. He led her to the car outside. Mahad went to the passenger seat and opened the door for her.
"Thank you." Flora mumbled, avoiding eye contact with him and slid in to the seat.
Mahad grinned for a second there and his face immediately turned serious again. He walked up to the driver seat and sat down. He started the car and drove away.
"Where are we driving?" Flora asked curiously, her eyes on him.
"We have a half day enough to the Schönbrunn Palace and the Zoo." Mahad replied and concentrated on the road.
Flora eyes widened at his words. "You mean…? You are going to sightsee with me as tourist?"
Mahad nodded slightly.
"Are you sure?" She looked sceptical at him.
Mahad rolled his eyes annoyed. "Yes. Now be quiet and let me drive."
"Oh…Thank you." She meant her words sincerely.
"Your welcome." He answered and focused his eyes on the road.
