"How's Winston's health?" Darren ask kyle when he got into the car. "He's good," Kyle replied as the car slowly pull out of the private garage.
Darren couldn't think properly as the little loss from his company weighed him down. It seems his step uncle have gone overboard this time, the greedy man won't rest until he sees the Hamilton group go down the drain. He even elected his son as the chairman of the Dustin group. Only God knows how this cunning son managed to lay his filthy fingers on Clifford.
The car was peaceful for the now until Kyle decides to break it. "Boss, yesterday at the headquarter, did you mean what you said?" Kyle was curious.
Last night, he didn't expect his boss to say he cared about a female. "Did you mean it?"
"Kyle, face the road and don't allow your nosy attitude wreck a havock on the road!" Darren said sternly while Kyle nodded "I understand," he said and focused on the road.
The car came to a stop at the front of the mansion and Darren step out of the car. He went to his room and freshened up. He put on a black pant and a loose grey shirt before sitting in his study to continue his work with his laptop.
Kyle walk down the staircase to the living room. "You want to challenge me again?" Kyle ask when Dan said he wants to play a video game.
"Yup. Are you scared?" Dan ask with a smirk on his face as they head towards the couch.
Darren left his room when he was done with the emails and knocked on Elena's door. Since she was unable to speak, knocking on her door would make her know that someone is outside her room. He also stood there for few minutes so the girl could have her privacy if needed.
When he didn't hear a sound from inside or the door opening, he opened the door and step inside. The moment he saw the girl sitting on the couch, he was left speechless.
"What are you doing? It's late," he scolded her which didn't feel like a scold at all. Sitting on the couch was Elena, different colourful bags were neatly placed on the table While a big strawberry wafer was on her hand. She was eating late this night instead of sleeping and biscuits for that matter.
Darren wondered what the contents of the other bags on the table might be. He pinch the space between his brows and walk to her.
Elena was sitting on the couch with the wafer on her hand but her eyes were on the handsome tall man with inky black hair. His masculine lines were perfect, high cheekbones and well carved jawline. The loose shirt he was putting on revealed his manly muscles and his deep collarbones.
Before she knew it, Darren was standing face her and she flush shyly.
Darren checked all the fancy bags and saw they were empty. He look up to the girl was sitting on the couch.
Elena blink innocently at him and drop the wafer on the table. She showed him her empty hands meaning she won't eat them again. Darren exhaled and gaze at her. He didn't know if it was his eyes but she was getting more beautiful each day. He sat on the couch but the air around him suddenly turn fierce.
Elena's palm turn sweaty, it was the slightly swollen pale purplish skin where the lady had hit her. Before, she doesn't care if people hit her but now she must give him an explanation. she made up her mind to start caring for herself because now, she have people who cares for her.
Darren's face darkened with anger, he touch the area with his thumb and stood out. "Stay here, I'm coming back," he said and step out of the room.
Elena tried to speak but no words came out of her mouth except airs. She wanted to explain to him herself because he might punish the innocent maidservant and Dan. She was unable to sit anymore and rush out of the room.
Dan felt cold sweat broke on his forehead and back as he narrates everything that happened according to what Dora told him.
The darkness around Darren's face dissipated and was replaced with a blank look. "Who's this woman who hit her?"
"I don't know boss, I wasn't there when it happened and Dora said the lady was a rich one regarding the clothes she was wearing."
" Change the maidservant," Darren said in a nonchalant manner. That moment, he saw Elena standing quietly on the staircase.
He saw the look on her face and immediately telled why she look at him that way. "You like the maid?" He ask when he came to stand at her front.
Elena nodded, her long hair moving along with her head. She was not able to trim it before because of how she live so it got extremely long.
"Okay. I won't change her again." Darren touch her long hair. He held her tiny wrist and went back to the corridor but he didn't go to her room.
, he brought her to his room.
Elena was astonished when she got into his room. It was the exact opposite of hers. While her room was bright and painted with light feminine colours, his room was painted with black and white paint. The couches were extremely white without any single stain on them, the floor was heavenly. She even thought that stepping on it might cause a damage and his bed was god! not to talk of the furnitures and electronic gadgets.
Darren saw the girl was amazed by his room which him the owner wasn't fond off. "Come here," he said and gestured with his hands.
Elena stood beside him and watch him pick up a black screen object, 'what is this?'. Darren handed it to her and answered her unheard question.
"It's an iPad. It's yours." was the only big words he said to make Elena all of a sudden pounce on him and embraced him tightly. ' This man is extremely kind to her '
