Chapter 20 - Chapter 20 - Utter Disbelief

My eyes were wide open in shock as I looked at him in disbelief, He stared too deeply into my eyes at this moment as if he were trying to manipulate me into something, "Can-" he cut me off again, "I admire you for your work, as a surgeon, as someone who took good care of my father" he said as he leant back to his seat and looked out, his face showing a slight smile.

"Who are you?" I don't know how I blurted that question out, I wanted to ask in my mind, but I realized I had asked out loud.

When Arthur Blaze's secretary looked back at me who was sitting in the front passenger seat, I realized that. Upon realizing what I had said, I apologized immediately as it isn't my business to know anything about him, but, "I'm Blaze Baldwin Savannah". He turned to me as he said that and I did not expect him to answer my question. After a few moments of gathering my courage and stronging myself, I asked him what I really wanted to know, "What do you do?" When I asked that question, Arthur, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, turned his head halfway so I knew he had looked behind for my question.

As for the driver, I noticed him looking back at the rare view mirror and I didn't understand what he was doing, "Do you need anything Arthur?" Blaze questioned him out of the blue, "Yeah Boss, Mr. Kim texted, the meeting has been set for tomorrow" he continued "I was waiting for Ms. Miller to finish talking, my apologies Boss." He bowed his head a little in respect to his Boss and turned in front. Ah, so that's why he was looking back and here I thought he was looking for the question. Blaze now turned to me "I'm a businessman who owns a huge medical company" In nodded my head in understanding "What's your company called?" I asked him and he seemed to be little thinking than "Let's have cup of coffee and have the rest of the intro" and I started wondering if he's asking me out? Or maybe I'm imagining, shaking all those thoughts I again looked out and enjoyed the night view. Well he's rich so there's maybe more to know about him tbat would really take so much time.

There is a reason he has a huge mansion and men guarding it, of course he needs tight security only when he is the biggest tycoon in the world? It'll be shocking to know if he owns one of the no.1.

The mercedes halted and I was about to get out of the car when Blaze stopped me and he himself went out, confusing me until he came to my side and opened the door for me. I again did not know what to say, so I just went out. Blaze closed the door behind me, and as I turned around to thank him, we bumped, no actually I bumped on his rock hard chest. He was standing behind me so when I turned, my forehead bumped, it's hurts but I didn't show it. I immediately apologized and with a smile on my face, I said, "Thank you for the ride" as I glanced down a little to clear my blurry vision. "Do you still remember what I said to you?" He questioned in return, "Of course, I do, but you came all the way here to drop me off, so I should thank you, I really, really appreciate that." He nodded as if thinking something, "Thank you too then" I knitted my brows at his response.

"Thank you for coming all the way to the mansion, I really appreciate it as well" I nodded my head and said, "Very well, we are even now" and I wondered if I was becoming too close to him. "Yes, we are." Standing there for few more seconds, I said, "I'll go inside, good night", just as I said, "This is where you live?"

-"Yeah, I live here" he stared at the apartment, almost like he scanned it with his eyes, and then turned to me "Go inside, it's already late" bidding final goodbye, I headed inside without turning back.

Savannah's House

My bed is my most comfortable place in the entire world, I miss it every moment of the day, it is the only place where I can sleep soundlessly without interruption, I close my eyes as I lay there heaving a comfortable sigh.

As soon as I arrived at home, I finished all the pending works, cooked, ate, cleaned, and finally put Theo to sleep. Of course, my baby was waiting in the living room for me when I got here. When I was on my way here, I texted him that I would be late and I would order him takeout, so he could eat and sleep on time, but he refused saying he would wait until I reached him, a smile crossed my face as I thought about him.

After opening my eyes, I looked for my phone. Getting up, I reached for it on the bedside table, but something else caught my attention. It was a white envelope that I had found a day earlier in front of my house, so I decided to check it now. I took my handbag and the envelope out of it, and looked for any name or address, but they weren't there afain unfortunately.

When I opened the envelope, there was another piece of paper inside, so I took it out and looked inside again, but there was nothing else. I opened the paper and it looked like some kind of notice or agreement, so I started reading it right away.

All my senses were shattered, I was in disbelief, is this some kind of joke? Why suddenly now? what is going on?I had several types of questions in my mind but no answers, so I took the phone from my bed and called the person asking how could she do this to me after all the things I have done for them.

Phone rang, but no one answered, so I called her again after the fourth ring I heard her voice, "Mrs. King, how could you do this to me? I spoke in utter disbelief "Savannah I-" I cut her off mid-sentence, "How can you tell us to leave this place?"
