Alex sighed deeply when he saw how sad she looked simply because he said she had to quit her job... Wasn't she accepting his proposal because of the money he was offering, why did she prefer to keep doing such tedious work when she could spend the rest of the time they would be together slacking away at the house doing nothing... He didn't quite understand her... "How about this then... I can buy the building then you can go to work anytime you want... I can make you the boss there" Alex suggested and Lynn's eyes grew completely wide in shock...
"What!" She exclaimed. Her face filled with shock... But Alex didn't see anything quite wrong with what he had suggested... It seemed like a better solution to him and what lynn wasn't aware of was the fact that Alex had purchased the building already and placed it in her name... so she was technically the landlady of the building she was working at but she had no idea...
"I believe that is a better idea" Alex added but Lynn disagreed... She couldn't even bear to think about how shocked everyone at her workplace would be... how would they react to find out the was the 'New boss'. What explanation would she give then, that she was going to be the wife of Alex Hult so he made her the boss? All the offers he made before were more than enough for her...
"We will discuss this later, first you have to come with me... we need to go somewhere," Alex said and stood up, Lynn stood up also and wondered where he was going to that she needed to come with...
"What about all my belongings?" She asked as they walked out of the study together... The old butler Marcus was standing in the hallway as they were both approaching...
"Marcus get the car ready" Alex instructed him and he left to do as he was told... "You won't be needing them any more... I've seen your place and I don't think you have much to begin with" Alex declared...
Lynn on the other hand knew she didn't have much but there were some important things of hers that she couldn't leave there... She didn't say anything till they both standing outside waiting for the car...
"There are some important things that I still need" She tried to explain in a low voice... everything was happening so fast that it scared her and made her nervous... it made her wonder if she was ready for the journey she was about to embark on with Alex... He seemed ready...
Alex turned to glance at her and nodded... "Okay then... we can stop by your place on our way and you can take whatever it is you need, but you have to be quick about it" Alex finally agreed and a slight smile that caught his attention appeared on her face... a glint passed through his eyes but it disappeared as soon as it came and he looked away from her...
A car pulled up in front of them a few seconds later and a man came out and opened the car door for Alex...
"Good Morning sir" The man greeted... "Morning Nathan" Alex responded and turned to look at Lynn who was waiting for him to enter the car... their eyes met and he gestured for her to enter which she hesitantly and nervously did...
The ride to her house was a silent one, she was staring out the window while Alex had a tablet in his hand and looked to be concentrating on whatever he was doing...
Nathan couldn't help but Glance at the both of them through the rearview mirror... He wondered how and where they had met because even though she was pretty he could tell from her from the way she was dressed that she wasn't from Alex's type of social standing...
"You should focus more on the road," Alex said and looked up at Nathan through the rearviw mirror... Their eyes met and Nathan immediately looked away "I'm sorry sir" He apologised and Alex nodded, his attention going back to what he was doing...
Lynn noticed the little exchange between both men but didn't pay any heed to it... her mind was already preoccupied with what was happening...
When they arrived at her house... Alex was about to come to get down with her but she stopped him... "You don't have to come with me... I won't be long" Alex's eyes held a hint of concern but he nodded and let her do what she wanted...
Lynn said deeply as she came out of the car... she could finally breathe well again without feeling nervous because he was by her side...
But as she took a turn that led to her apartment Lynn stopped dead in her tracks when she saw Mrs Adams standing right by her door trying to paste something on it...
"Mrs Adams!" Lynn called out to her... Mrs Adams turned to see Lynn standing just a few feet away from her and a deep frown immediately settled on her face...
"Where the hell have you been!" The older woman immediately raised her voice at Lynn causing her to flinch... Oh no! She had forgotten all about the balance of the rent she had promised to pay... She was yet to collect her salary...
"I..." Lynnn started but Mrs Adams immediately cut her off...
"I don't want to hear it! I've had enough of you... you make me sick!" Mrs Adams lashed out and the next thing Lynn knew Mrs Adams came right at her and grabbed her arm forcefully... "I don't want you anywhere near my property and I'm not going to let you take a single thing from inside my house...I will consider that my payment!"
"let go of me! I can explain everything!" Lynn said trying to talk some sense into her, but Mrs Adams wasn't having any of it...
"What do you think you are doing" A voice as cold as ice stopped Mrs Adams before she could do anything more...
