Charlotte's POV

I was caught off guard by his question.

"Do you have something to tell me?" He asked.

'Did he notice that I've been keeping my words to myself?' I mentally palmed my face.

"Uhmm," I tried to act as natural as possible despite myself.

"I was just wondering... why did you help me? We were not on talking terms and I told you I didn't want to see you again yet you helped." I found myself speaking more than I intended.

Drake shrugged.

"I always wanted to help and I won't lie, my heart shattered when I didn't get a reply from you." Again, I felt guilty.

"I.." I wanted to speak but he waved it away with another shrug.

"It's fine. I'm glad that I could help and even happier that she is getting better. So it worked."

"Thank you" I greeted him again, although I wanted to say more than that.

"You are welcome." He nodded with a faint smile.

"Is that all you wanted to tell me?" He asked and my breath hitched in my throat.

"I ...uhh" There was no right way to put it but I felt

    Charlotte's POV If the dinner and care for my burn were the only thing Drake did, I wouldn't have been troubled the way I am now.It didn't stop at that dinner. Since he was a distinguished speaker at Ivy's school, he paid random visits and brought Ivy gifts on his visits and played with her. Thankfully, she kept her promise and never mentioned Drake whenever Sawyer was around but whenever we were alone or whenever I tucked her to bed, she wouldn't stop singing his praises.The night she told me she wished she had a father like him, I couldn't bring myself to sleep.The most confusing part of it was he wasn't making an attempt towards me or trying to get close to me.After a visit to his house for dinner, he sent a member of his staff to bring me treatment for the burn even though it wasn't even a burn, it was just hot steam. But he insisted I use the cream to prevent a scar and to heal the place.Still, he doesn't act like he wants something, he even avoids me at meetings and open

    Charlotte's POV The last thing I expected was for Drake to ask me to dinner. I was caught off guard but curiosity got the better of me.I agreed to go because I wanted to observe him at a closer range and of course, pay back the favor.He told me I could bring Ivy along and that was surprising. Drake of before would tell me to come alone, he would try to make me see reasons why I should get back with him but he was different this time. I began to wonder if he hit his head."Really? Are we going to see Uncle Drake?" Ivy asked, her eyes widened in excitement. "Yes baby," I squatted before her."I want you to do something for me." She looked at me with curiosity. "Don't let Sawyer know we went to see Drake. Let this be our little secret. Can you do that for me?" I asked and she nodded happily."Of course." "Thank you, baby, grab your hat let's go." Sawyer had a meeting out of town, for some reason, it seemed like it had been a long while since he had such a meeting that warranted him

    Drake's POV I got into the office early to finish up the first phase of the project I was handling and Jason came in to see me.He's been coming in often these days. In his defence, he wants to check if I really have moved on from Charlotte like I claimed and if I was really changed but I knew that the real reason why he came around was to check on me.And confirm that I was doing okay."Have you had anything to eat?" He asked when he came in and I shook my head, absentmindedly. My mind on the file I was scanning through."Take this, I bought it from an italian restaurant, they said it's their breakfast special." He held out a paper bag to me."Thanks." I collected the bag and wanted to drop it on the table but he shook his head and spoke up, catching me off guard a little."No, no no, you don't do that with the food I bought you. Drop the work, let's eat.I bought mine too." He raised another paper bag in mid air to show me his.I shrugged. There was no arguing with Jason."Fine. But

    Charlotte's POVI was shaken by Drake's actions at the event. He left me speechless in so many ways I couldn't even explain. There was something new to him this time and it was... drawing me to him. I don't believe in voodoo but I could note the changes and the effect it had on me.Sawyer called later that night, well after I was able to power my phone, he called nonstop but I didn't accept any of his calls until the next morning. As you suspected, his call woke me up the next morning."What's the matter? Why have you been ignoring my calls Charlotte?" He asked the minute I picked up the call."What do you want?" I asked, giving him aura for aura.He could sense the anger and malice in my voice and realized that he needed to calm down."You got me worried Babe, your line wasn't going through the whole of last night. I went to pick you up but you were not at the venue so I got scared." He explained, his voice calmer."What time did you go to pick me up?" I asked, not convinced by his

    Drake's POV "Oh my gosh, he looks so hot holding her like that." One of the guests exclaimed."They look so hot! This looks like a picture from a magazine!" Another whispered loud enough for me to hear.My gaze was fixed on Charlotte's face which had started to go red."Are you okay?" I asked and her cheeks got even red as she tried to stand on her own."Yes, thank you." She stood straight and ran her hands through her dress as if she were cleaning off invincible dust.I cleared my throat and stepped forward, picked up a plate and dished myself some of the sumptuous-looking meals. That was the cue the other guests needed to do the same and soon after, they had forgotten about the pose.Or they just chose not to talk about it.I thought things were awkward between Charlotte and me from the beginning of the event but after this incident happened, I confirmed that things were more awkward. She didn't want to even glance at me or make the mistake of looking in my direction and I didn't

    Charlotte's POV It seemed as though time paused for a second, no, some minutes. I just stood there looking at the man who strode into the hall exuding so much aura and stealing the attention of the guests around.Everyone turned towards him, their hands across their lips in awe of how good looking he was. His hair was sleeked back perfectly, his stylist deserved an award. His sharp jawline made me instantly thirsty. His tailored suit clung to his body so perfectly, that the first two buttons of his suit were opened, exposing a part of his well-toned chest.Damn! He should be arrested for looking so good in a tailored suit. The same tailored suit most of the male guests wore to the get-together. "Excuse me ma'am, let me take you to your seat." An usher approached me, her voice broke into my thoughts and I almost cursed.I forced a smile after catching myself and followed her to my seat and shook my head after settling down as if it would shake the thoughts of Drake off my mind."You
