Chapter 09They were finally home and Layla had rushed to her room just to get the makeup off her face. She heaved a sigh of relief when she realized she was back to her real face.She applied some cream given to her by the make-up artist, to help massage the face to prevent wrinkles as a result of too much make-up." You really did a great job " Mira said beaming with smiles as she walked into the room with a tray on he hands." You cooked me food? " Layla asked in suprise." Yeah, you did a great job " She said and Layla's lips crept into a smile." Aww, thanks.. I'm damn hungry " She said and rushed to her as she dished out the food in a plate and handed it over to her.She swiftly took it from her and dig in immediately while Mira chuckled at how fast she was devouring the food." You know you could have asked Shane to get you some road-side food or order something at any restaurant " She said and Layla and scoffed as she raised her head up to Mirah." Nah, I don't think he's going
Chapter 10" Please excuse us " Shane said to Mirah without looking at her, his gaze focused on Layla who was suddenly nervous probably 'cause of his intense stare on her."Sure " Mirah said and with that excused herself and the two were finally alone.Shane suddenly looked away and approaching the bed available in the room, he sat on it.He gestured to her to come sit beside him, tho she was hesitant for a while but she later walked over to him and sat on the bed.He brushed his hand through his hair like he was frustrated and short of words while Layla nervously picked on her nails as an heavy moment of awkward silence erupted." You don't like everything I've been offering you, why's that?... I thought girls loved expensive things " He said, more like a question." Um.. I... "" I'm sorry, if it annoyed you.. " He said, turning to her and like the first time they met in the mansion, she saw the soft look he wore then on, his face softened, his usual cold expression was gone. He look
Chapter 11After knocking again twice, the door finally pushed open revealing Shane, and his handsome face came into view. His shirtless body revealing his perfectly shaped abs and his muscles, her eyes couldn't help but observe this perfection as she kept on staring at his body while he stood in front of her like a statue displayed for sightseeing.She gulped down into nothing still staring at him until she jerked out of her thoughts herself an her cheeks reddened in embarrassment as she realized he was watching as she gouged her eyes all over his body.She bit her lips in embarrassment before raising her head slowly, he was a bit taller than her so she had to look up at him before their face could meet.Her face met with his expressionless look and she moved back a bit and bowed a little before raising her head after mustering courage." Hmm.. Lady Macbeth wants you to come down for breakfast " She said, after clearing her throat and he only nodded.He staring at her with no expressi
Chapter 12She struggled hard to break free from his grip bit he held on tightly. She groaned before finally give in to his grip and relaxed a bit.She stared deep into his sleeping eyes and sighed. She would just stay here and leave in the mid morning before he wakes up.She closed her eyes and like a miracle, sleep took her over.****Shane tried to sit up from the bed after opening his eyes some seconds ago, only to meet with a sharp pain as it hit his head, he groaned sharply before lying back on the bed. He must be having a hangover from getting drunk yesterday.He grabbed his phone from his bedstand and placed a call across to Claus who picked almost immediately." Hello " His voice came from the other side of the call." Tell Lady Macbeth to prepare a hangover soup for me " He said and with that ended the call. He laid back on the bed and yesterday scene came refreshing on his head and he sighed when he remembered how he caged Layla into his arms.Tho he doesn't really get viole
Chapter 13Layla rushed into her room and touched her chest, and weirdly her heart was beating so fast which got her worried.What's wrong with her?, Why was she suddenly acting shy in front of him?. She waved the thought of it away and suddenly remembered Lady Macbeth.She rushed out of the room and made her way down the stairs. Lady Macbeth was still in tears by the time she got there and thy rn to her." What did he say?, Is he going to sack me? " Lady Macbeth rushed at once while Layla's lips twitched into a smile, Jennifer understanding what the smile meant sighed in relief." He said he has no plans of doing such, and I apologized to him already " She said and Lady Macbeth pulled he into a hug immediately, as she sighed in relief." Thanks " She mumbled in between the hug before pulling away while Layla flashed her a smile." So, we should continue " Jennifer announced and the girls groaned but she ignored them and instead dragged them along, pulling them into the living room whi
Chapter 14Shane cleared his throat and Layla averted her gaze away from him, before looking up at him again,, " I thought you were angry at me 'cause I almost ruined things " She muttered and he smiled lightly." Of course not, You did a great job I can't be satisfied more, thanks " He said sincerely and she smiled before diverting her gaze to her food and with that they both ate in silence." Would you help prepare a meal tomorrow? " He suddenly asked taking Layla by shock as she raised her head at him with her eyes widened." Huh? " She asked unbelievably but he only flashed her this cute smile." Will you? "He asked still staring at her and she nodded without taking her eyes off him." Um,, yeah sure " She stuttered confusedly and he smiled,, " Thanks "He muttered and she found herself smiling, his smile was so cute and that made him look responsible as she kept staring until a loud bang cut her off and she flinched.She had dropped the cutlery she was holding on the ceramic plate.
Chapter 15" Huh? " Layla asked to be sure she had heard the right thing." Let's go on a date " He repeated, his eyes not leaving hers." Um.. why? " She found herself asking the most dumbest question ever." I meant a play date " He corrected, looking away from her eyes as he adjusted his clothes." I just wanna go out to places, have fun and then clear my head " He replied, returning his gaze back to her and she nodded thoughtfully." Okay,, I'll go " She said with a smile which he returned lightly before he looked away." Um, how about we just go on a normal outing today, then we can go on a play date tomorrow " Layla suggested and Shane thought about it for a while before nodding and he earned a bright smile from her.****Shane felt uncomfortable in a way he'd never felt before. Tho he was the one who brought this, it still felt weird to him. He had never done something like this before.He took another glance at the brown leather bag that danced an inch close to his head, its ow
Chapter 16" And, that's all? " Mira asked and she nodded. Mirah sat up and stared intensively at Layla which got her into confusion. " What? " She was forced to ask." Do you think the seer might have said something that really doesn't sound right but Shane felt like it was the truth?, and it probably is the truth but then you don't know? " She asked." I don't know, I'm really confused " She said and in a swift, was up on her feet." You're not hungry? " Mira asked but she shook her head and walked away, approaching the stairs.***** Next Morning *Layla looked at her reflection in the mirror one more time before walking away. She felt uncomfortable as usual in the cover makeup but she had no choice.She can't appear as Layla on a date with Shane, the media might find out.She walked down the stairs elegantly and Shane's eyes landed on her and he suddenly lost himself staring at her even without knowing, until Claus tapped him softly.He looked away and when Layla finally got to the
