Chapter 4 - Four

Nova headed to clean up Adam's room, glad to have a chance to work without any distractions. She found that she quite enjoyed the work, and she took her time cleaning every nook and cranny of the spacious room. Nova wiped down the closet handles, dusted the photo frames, and even took a moment to water the plants.

As she was in the middle of putting some books back on the bookshelf, Adam walked in, looking superb in his gym outfit. The sight caused Nova's heart to skip a beat, but she tried to ignore it, as she gets busy putting the final touches to the room. She was done with the task when Adam spoke up.

"Does my presence make you nervous, Nova?" Adam asked, walking up to her with an air of confidence that seemed to radiate off him.

Nova tried to play it cool, but she couldn't help but feel the heat creeping up to her cheeks. "No, Mr. Smith," she replied, sounding flustered. "I'm just finishing up your room."

Adam's lips curved into a sly smile as he stepped even closer to Nova, nearly trapping her between his body and the wall. "I think you like me," he said, his voice low and full of authority.

Nova couldn't deny it - Adam's handsome face, and sculpted body had such an impact on her. She felt weak at the knees with desire, and Adam knew it.

"You know what, I like you too, Nova," he said, looking deeply into her eyes. "In fact, I think we should spend more time together."

Nova felt a rush of excitement mixed with fear race through her body as Adam's hand reached up to caress her cheek. "Don't worry, I'll be gentle," he whispered before wrapping his arm around Nova's waist, pulling her towards him.

Her heart rate escalated, she was sure he could feel her heartbeat.

She has never been this close to a man before.

Adam, on the other hand, bursts out laughing, teasing her about her priceless expression. Nova feels her cheeks burning with embarrassment, but Adam quickly reassures her that he is only kidding and that there's no need to be embarrassed.

Feeling relieved, Nova takes a deep breath and begins to make her way out of the room. But before she can leave, Adam stops her to ask if she's feeling okay and whether she needs anything. She shakes her head, feeling a sense of gratitude for Adam's kindness.

As they stand there together, Nova can't help but notice how handsome and charming Adam is. She feels a flutter in her stomach as he smiles at her, and can't help but wonder what it would be like to spend more time with him.

But then the moment is over, and Adam bids her goodbye, leaving Nova to head back to work. Yet, despite the embarrassment of the moment, Nova can't help but feel a sense of excitement. After all, she had just shared a moment with Adam, and it had left her wanting more.

As Nova took a stroll through the garden, she couldn't help but notice the beautiful flowers that she had planted with the Gardner's son, James. As she walked through the beds of roses, she suddenly heard a voice behind her.

"Hey, Nova, looking good today," James said, flashing a charming smile.

Nova couldn't help but blush at the compliment. James had always been flirtatious with her, but she never took it seriously. She knew that he was just trying to be friendly.

"So, how are my flowers doing?" Nova asked, trying to steer the conversation away from herself.

"They're doing great, but not as great as you," James said, causing Nova to blush even more.

After a few minutes of small talk, James suddenly got serious and said, "Hey, do you have any plans for this Sunday? I was thinking maybe we could go out on a date. It's your day off, right?"

For a moment, Nova was taken aback by the sudden invitation, but then she thought, "Why not?" She deserved to have some fun and go on a date.

"Sure, that sounds like fun," Nova said, smiling at James.

As she walked away from the garden, Nova couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement about the upcoming date. She had never been on a date with anyone before, and James seemed like a fun and interesting guy.

Her eyes suddenly fell on Adam, who stood in the balcony overlooking the beautiful view of the estate. She stopped in her tracks, feeling a jolt of electricity run through her body.

Their eyes met for a brief moment, and Nova's heart skipped a beat at the intense look that Adam gave her. She could feel her cheeks turn a deep shade of red as she tried to look away, feeling embarrassed at being caught staring.

However, her thoughts were soon interrupted by the sound of a car engine, and Adam turned his gaze towards the driveway. Nova realized that Mrs Smith returning home. She quickly composed herself, making her way back into the house.

As she walked through the hallways, Nova couldn't stop thinking about the way Adam had looked at her. She felt a strange pull towards him, and she couldn't shake the feelings that she kept buried deep inside her heart.

No. Adam isn't her league.

Her thought came shot to the main entrance of the Smith mansion, she lost her footing on a loose stone and stumbled awkwardly. In an attempt to regain her balance, she twisted her ankle and felt a sharp pain shoot up her leg.

She winced in agony as she sat up, rubbing her ankle gently. It was swollen and throbbing, and she knew that she had sprained it badly. Nova tried to stand up, but the pain was too much, and she had to sit back down.

As she sat there, feeling helpless and alone, she wished that someone would come to her aid but she knew better.

God knows what Mrs Smith would do to her if she finds her here.

She mustered up enough strength and courage lifting herself up, a light sob escaped her lips as she bit on her lower lip preventing further noises.

Oh god!
