"There is no need to worry, she is going to like it."Flora said, putting Aurora on the bed and covering her with the pink and purple Minnie mouse blanket. "Besides this one is way bigger than the one she used to sleep in back at home."She said still looking around the room.
"Let's go to yours."He said and they both slowly walked put of Aurora's new room and they closed the door lightly to not wake Aurora up. "Here is your room, I made sure that it was opposite to Aurora's so that it wouldn't be difficult for her to find you early in the morning or in the middle of the night."He said.
"Thank you."She said smiling at him.
"There is no need it's my duty to do so."He said smiling back at her. He then opened the door to her new bedroom. "I didn't have time to look at your room, I hope that you like it."He said, and they both entered the room.
"Wow... it's, I don't know what to say..."She said. She wanted to say something but the words felt like they were in her throat and they didn't want to come out. The room had a black crystal floor tile, the walls were painted in black, everything in the room was in black because it was her favorite color. The only things that were not black, was the white ceiling, the yellow chandeliers, they grey couch on the left side of the room near the glass door that led to the balcony, the glass table abd the grey carpet on the floor.
There was a king sized bed in front of them that was covered in black and grey sheets and black pillows. There were a few paintings of flowers on the walls."The bathroom is right over there."He pointed at the door that was only a few steps from the bed. She walked towards the door and she opened it. The bathroom was as big as her previous bedroom, just how rich can a person get. The shower was on the right side next to the round bathtub and the toilet was on the left side of the bathroom opposite to the shower.
"Just remember you can tellme if you don't like-"He said but she cut him off before he could finish talking.
"I love it, it's everything I ever wanted and more, the size of the room is great, the decorations the furniture, just everything. Oh and I like how the dresser looks and the mirror is big enough for me to see myself clearly when I am dressing up."She said.
"I am glad that you like it."He said and he then checked his watch and it was already 7:35pm. "It's time for dinner come on let's go and eat."he said.
"Okay."She said and then they both made their way out of the room. They walked downstairs and Ludwick led her to the dining hall that was two times bigger that her father's little dining room.
Ludwick pulled out a chair for her to sit on. She mouthed thank you and then she sat down. "Anyway, I'll send my assistant to go shopping with you tomorrow."Ludwick said, pouring wine in his glass.
"Why? I brought clothes with me."She said, swallowing her food.
"Don't talk with your mouth full it's disgusting...Anyway, you need new clothes, you aren't planning on wearing old, tired clothes while living in a big mansion now do you? You have to be convincing."He said.
"Ouch. I know that I don't have clothes that are good enough but do you really have to rub it in?"She asked.
"I wasn't even trying to rub it in. Flora my brother won't even look at you if you wear clothes like those, he only wants people who are in his league and you at this moment, you are way out of his league."He said.
"Wow, even though your words hurt I will have to agree with you. But I have a question for you, would your brother want to be with a woman who has a child and doesn't even know who the father is?"She asked.
"I have already prepared for that, we'll about that after dinner." He said giving her s reassuring smile. She smiled back st him nodding her head. Flora had always found his smile to be warm, welcoming and beautiful. She wondered if this good looking angel in front of her was single, but she just thought that he wasn't because there was just no way that an irresistible man like him would have no woman in his life.
"Uhm, Ludwick can I ask you something?"She asked.
"Yes."
"Do you have a girlfriend, wife or a fiancé?"She asked. Ludwick looked at her, he was a bit taken back by her question. He was not expecting her to ask him something like that, but it was something that people frequently asked him, but he was not expecting her to ask him that question.
"Well, no I don't have one and I don't want one."He said looking down at his reflection on in the glass of wine.
"Why?"
"It's, well... I locked away my feelings because of what my mother did."He said taking a deep breath. "Can we not talk about this now, I don't want to ruin my mood."He said drinking all the wine in his glass. He hated talking about his family or his past, it just made him feel uncomfortable.
"OH, okay. Sorry."She said, looking down on her plate. She just hoped that he was not angry at her.
"It's okay."He said. They continued eating their food in silence, awkward silence. This was a situation that Flora had never found herself in before so it just made her feel uncomfortable.
After twenty minutes of awkward and uncomfortable silence, they both finished eating and they made their way to the study that was filled with nothing but books, small tables and chairs. For Flora the room was too big just to be called a study, maybe a library.
Ludwick made his way to the big table that was in the middle of the room and he took a file that was on top of the table abd he handed it to Flora. "I thought that I was done with signing contracts."She said looking at the file.
"That is not a contract. In that file there us every information that you need to know about my brother and your new information."He said leaning on the table.
"My information?"She asked looking at him.
"Yes, everything about your new identity,what and what not to do as your new self."He said.
"So I won't be using my actual name, background abd everything?"She asked and he nodded his head in response. "What about Aurora, are you going to change her name too?"She asked.
"No she's too young to understand so she won't be changing hers. Just go through everything in that file, you can tell me if you want me to change or add something there, you have only this week to memorize and learn everything."He said.
"Why can't you give me more than that?"She asked.
"Because you'll be meeting my brother next week." He said calmly.
"What!? So soon?"She asked. She was expecting him to give her at least two weeks or even a month. This was a big deal for her because she was starting a new life as someone else, she was going to leave a lifestyle that she had no clue was like. So just one week was very little time for her to prepare herself both emotionally and mentally.
