Alynah dressed up in a red flare knee-length gown and black ballet flat shoe. She curled her hair and let it down freely on her shoulders.
"Mummy, where are you going? Today is Saturday" Tulip asked from behind.
"Oh sweetie, I'm going somewhere but I'll be back in a jiffy" Alynah replied, crouching to her level.
"What should I get you on my way back?" Alynah asked.
"Popsicles!" Tulip yelled happily.
"Alright, I'll get you as much as you want. Now bye" Alynah pecked her cheeks, picking up her bag and file.
"See you soon" Betty beamed.
"Bye mummy!"
Since Evan had sent her the address, she only needs to follow the directions.
The vast Texan sky stretched out like a canvas of blue, dotted with puffy grey clouds that seemed to drift lazily across the horizon. It looked like it will rain soon.
The sun-kissed street of Texas City, gleamed like a warm embrace, inviting Alynah to explore thee vibrant neighborhoods and bustling streets. She boarded a cab and went to Preston Hollow Neighborhood.
Alynah carefully followed the address given to her. His house is no. 26th North Dallas tollway, walnut Hill Lane. Here she is, in front of the massive building. A Stern looking guard came out of the giant white gate.
"Are you Miss Grayling?" The guard asked and Alynah nodded.
"Come in please" he bowed gesturing her in.
Alynah's jaw dropped and her eyes widened at the sight of the beautiful mansion made with glass and white Corian cladding. The facade itself is hard to describe. The floor was covered with German gravels. A large water fountain with the statue of a dragon head at the top, flowers surrounding it, giving it a natural and charming feeling. The sound of the moving tress, the birds chirping and water pouring coul be heard. A calm symphony in the summer morning.
"Follow me, Miss Grayling" the guard said and Alynah obeyed. They arrived in front of the glass door and he rang the doorbell, a maid opened up.
"You're welcome, ma'am. Please come in" the maid bowed. Alynah was astonished, did Mr Hart inform all of his workers that she'll be coming?
As she walked in, another marvel building awaits her. The sitting room was huge and heavenly. Everywhere is made of glass, pure white and some shades of grey. It's well furnished, killer portraits of Kayden were hung on the walls, full TV set, the large crystal chandelier hung high on the ceiling and the floor was tied with sparkling glassy white tiles.
Alynah sat in the soft white couch, feeding her eyes with this aesthetical and marvelous house. The large twin stairs swept grandly towards the upper floor and Alynah couldn't get enough of how beautiful the mansion is. Then she remembered whom the mansion belonged to. We're talking about Mr Hart here! The richest and youngest muiltibillionaire in the country.
"Master Kayden will be soon here. Feel free and have a drink" a maid approached with a glass of juice and a player of snacks.
Just as the maid left, the clicking sound of shoes could be heard and he emerged, looking so hot, clad in a black joggers and black shirt. The shirt was unbuttoned, exposing his strong chiseled features.
Alynah sprang her feet up, head lowered.
"Good morning sir!" She greeted.
"Morning, have a sit" Kayden said and sat down opposite her. He stared intently at her for a while and then said, "let me have the file"
Alynah nodded and handed him the file, trying not to meet his gaze. Kayden opened the file and went through it. At that moment, Alynah found herself staring at him. His silky black hair was a bit messy, his thick brows, long lashes that flutters up and down like black butterfly wings, his sharp jawline, his skin was completely flawless and spotless that got her thinking if some girls have the type Kayden's flawless skin and long lashes. Well, that's kind of obvious cause Kayden's lashes are even longer than hers.
She moved her gaze to his chest and her cheeks burned just by that mere stare. The way he sat was extremely jaw dropping. He was leaning his back on the couch, with one leg straight while the other was placed on top of the other leg, his hand resting on the side while his other hand was holding the file.
He looked like a piece of painting, designed by the best artists that ever lived. Kayden but his lower lip as if trying to look sexier than he does now but his action only made Alynah gasp. He slowly looked up hearing her gasp and caught Alynah staring at him.
Alynah looked away with flushed cheeks while Kayden smirked and moved his gaze back to the file.
"Impressive" he commented when he was done, scrutinizing and Alynah smiled.
They exchanged some few words and Alynah stood up to leave but Kayden's next words made her freeze.
"Join me for breakfast"
"S..sir?" Alynah thought she didn't hear him correctly but when he repeated, she gasped.
"I..I.. I'm sorry sir but I have somewhere to go" Alynah stuttered, declining. Kayden crossed his hands behind his back and looked away through the glass walls. The weather was gloomy. It'll rain any moment from now.
"It will soon rain. You won't leave in the rain, will you?" Kayden turned to her, smirking. The loud sound of thunder was heard followed by the drizzles of rain. Alynah gasped as she looked out. It's truly raining!
Alynah hesitated for a while then ran out of the mansion. Kayden froze by her action. Like she just ran away. When she was out at the facade, the rain turned heavier and she got soaked. Alynah paused and groaned. She shouldn't have ran into rain. She usually gets sick when she gets drenched in the rain!
She was about leaving the mansion when she felt a warm hand pulled her back and her hand came in contact with Kayden's wet bare chest. She gasped and looked up. Alynah froze at the sight before her.
