~Moore mansion~
He stepped in and everywhere fell silent. The maids had stopped their chattering to stare. The guards simply made way for him.
e walked in without sparing anyone or his surroundings a glance. His eyes eyes trained on his phone in one hand and he was answering a call on the other.
No, Gloria. I can't make it".
Cancel my schedule for today".
Yes".
No".
e hung up and the other phone rang almost immediately. He answered it as he walked pass them.
No, I just got back".
I'll be there in thirty minutes".
He hung up and the two phones rang at once. He answered as he ascended the stairs. The maids watched him dreamily like he was a god.
He wore a red tracksuit with white trainers. His hair was dyed white and the tiny diamond earrings in his ear sparkled under the light.
They kept looking even when he disappeared into the hallway.
"He is so beautiful" One dreamily spoke.
"You think he's beautiful now, wait till he looks at you. Those eyes are the most mesmerizing things in this world" Another said.
Iwish he would just look at me, I would feel blessed forever" another dreamy tongue added.
"Look at you? Sir Canaan doesn't look at anyone" Another scoffed.
"If he put in a little effort, he could have all the beautiful classy ladies at his feet" Another said.
"Effort? He's rich, classy and hot, he doesn't need to put in any effort, they put in the effort for him. That's the only reason they troop in here everyday to see him and he didn't even spare any one a glance".
"And they wouldn't stop until ma'am Shugar got a restraining order on them" Another giggled.
"Funny how you low lives are fantasizing about someone who doesn't even know you exist. You better get back to work before you all get fired" The head guard spoke.
They murmured a bit but no one dared to disobey him.
As they returned to their work, Canaan descended the stairs and all eyes returned to him.
He was dressed in a purple designer suit and his white Italian shoes sparkled at the tip due to the light.
His white hair was gelled probably with white gel to the back revealing the beautiful earrings and flower tattoo just above his nape.
His eyes were fixed on his phone as usual and he held three other phones on the other hand. A silver watch lay heavily on his wrist radiating beauty.
His three phones were ringing at once but he didn't seem to bother as he descended the stairs stylishly.
They knew he was in a hurry but how he catwalked effortlessly with so much grace and no rush was surprising.
It shouldn't have been cause Canaan was never in a rush for anything. The model took his time and others had to wait.
Three guards approached him as he got outside. He handed his phones to one and concentrated on the one he was using.
One held open the door of the Lexus for him but he simply walked pass.
"Sir?".
"I'll drive" He gave a response so swift that they barely caught it.
"But....." The guard tried to argue but the wing door of the Bugatti slid open and he felt shut. He watched in awe as the model got in.
He knew they would be in a lot of trouble if the superstar rode out alone so he returned to the Lexus and ordered the other guards to get in.
They trailed behind him as he rode out.
Fernando was waiting furiously outside GEM. The Moores' modelling agency. The paparazzi crowded the gate, trying to get in.
He would have taken care of them if he wasn't so pissed at a certain insolent adult male who thought it was best to give him sleepless nights.
He scoffed as the Bugatti drove in accompanied by a Lexus. The paparazzi went wild as Canaan stepped out, trying to get pass the security personnels shoving them out.
Fernando waited impatiently for Canaan to get to him. The model took a quick glance at his watch before fixing his eyes on his phone.
Fernando snatched the phone as soon as he got to the entrance and smashed it against the wall.
Canaan stared at the broken phone and sucked his lip before looking up.
"Only two people are allowed to disrupt my sleep, my wife and my daughter. How dare you run off like that without letting anyone know? Do you know what you put me through huh?. Can you become any more impertinent?!" He scolded.
"Don't raise your voice at me" Canaan spoke with so much calmness that it was infuriating.
Fernando looked like he was about to smack the rude thing across the face when the CEO choose the moment to show up.
"What is going on here? Why are you causing a scene, Fernando?" He asked.
Fernando looked like a deer caught in headlights as he quickly looked around to discover the several pairs of eyes on them.
"And what do you have to do with this Canaan? You're the only one who successfully gets under his skin. What did you do this time?" The CEO asked.
"I'm sorry, sir. It wasn't my intention to create a scene" Fernando was the first to speak up. The CEO nodded and glanced at Canaan.
"Don't you have something to say?" Fernando hissed.
"No, I don't" Canaan replied simply and Fernando glared at him.
"That's enough. Come in both of you, the meeting is about to start" The man urshered them in.

I returned from work completely exhausted. I had gone to job hunt earlier since the library was still closed for some reason.
I didn't want to take any chances.
I fell on the bed exhausted and fell asleep immediately.
I woke up to Honey licking my face. I yawned and glanced at the clock. 9pm. I sighed and sat up.
I thought of what to cook but luck smiled at me and Min ah came bursting in with Mrs Rose. They seemed overexcited.
"How are you, baby?" Min ah asked pecking my cheek. I smiled at her.
"I brought dinner for everyone and I'm sleeping over" She squealed and I chuckled.
"You don't have a place to run to when it rains" I told her. She rolled her eyes.
"But I have you to keep warm and you're more comfy than my blanket".
Mrs Rose chuckled. While we continued chatting about random things, she served dinner.
"You seem unusually happy, Mrs Rose. What happened?" I asked and Min ah grinned.
"I thought you'd never ask. Actually she..."
"Shush! You talk too much. Let her do the talking" I pinned her lips and she pouted.
"Well, I got the job and you will never guess what they said" Mrs Rose grinned.
"What did they say?" I asked with a smile. I'm so happy she got a job that could change her life for better.
"That I could bring an assistant as a part-time" She spilled.
"Oh" I muttered with a puzzled look.
"And who would make a better assistant than you" Min ah squealed.
My eyes widened in disbelief.
"Me? Really?".
"Yes, Kim. You can choose if you want full-time but either way, you're moving in with me. I can't leave you here" She said.
"But....."
"They don't mind, you're my assistant after all. You can continue with your delivery job too if you want" Mrs Rose said and I hugged her tightly.
"Thank you, so much".
"How come I don't get a hug? I won't get to see you both ever" Min ah whined and I pulled her into the hug.
"Can we do this till tomorrow?" She asked.
"No" Mrs Rose snorted and we laughed.
