"It's been two days. When will she be awake?" Asked Andrew nicely but in an impatient tone.
One of Andrew's attending doctors was assigned to take very good care of Lila in Andrew's mansion. She was placed in the largest room on the mansion's top floor which had direct access to the helipads on the rooftop.Since Andrew decided to protect the information about his rare blood type's condition, he needed a medical team to treat him or his cousin if they got hurt. That was why he created the top floor's room similar to a hospital. But the room remained unused until now."Her recovery is impressive. She should be awake anytime soon." Answered the doctor.True, all Lila's senses were back including her consciousness, but drowsiness still clouded over her nerve system.Slowly she tried to open her eyes, but only managed to make it half open. She could recognize the silhouette of whose face that was looking at her with a sad expression even tho"You said it will be a fun meeting." Lila was sitting next to Andrew on the plush two seater sofa."It will.""Then, why are they wearing formal attire?" Lila pointed with her eyes at the employees who passed by the exclusive waiting room where Lila and Andrew were sitting.They were in the National Bank. Leaving as soon as the doctor told Lila that she was okay.Immediately, Andrew had Max arrange an urgent board meeting. The agenda of the meeting was a surprise, since there was nothing important to be discussed. But all directors had to attend the meeting because Andrew wanted them to.Andrew glanced at where Lila was staring. "They're working. We're not.""Yea, at least I'm not wearing my ragged usual outfit." Lila murmured.She wore Magnolia Gallery's last season long-sleeved dark grey silk shirt with a V-neck collar. The shirt elegantly fit in her along with the skinny jeans and flat shoes. While Andrew looked comfo
"Mr. Chairman…" Said the CEO politely, letting Andrew to lead the meeting.Andrew hummed. His face was expressionless when he looked at all the directors across the table. "I believe all of you are wise enough to keep whatever we're going to discuss in today's meeting, stays in this room."Silence.Wow. Thought Lila. No small talk, just straight to open warning."Alright." Andrew continued, assuming the directors understood and agreed. "I have a question." Said Andrew calmly, gazing at all the directors one by one briefly. "Does anyone here know me?"Some directors frowned, wondering what kind of question was that? Or was that a tricky question?And some successfully hid their puzzled expression with an unreadable face, while wondering the same things. "Nobody?" Asked Andrew again when no one in the room uttered any word.Lila was suppressing her smile. She was afraid her smile might turn into laughter because
"You still think I'm being unfair?" Asked Andrew to the CEO when Lila walked a bit slower behind them, she was talking with Max.The CEO didn't respond right away, instead he looked at Andrew calculatingly. Since he couldn't read anything in Andrew's face, he sighed. "I believe you have a very strong reason behind your every action, Mr. Mac Miller."Andrew said nothing. He didn't think it was necessary to explain his reason."I hope you understand that I have to stand up for my director, since his position will be vacant for some time and--""I understand." Andrew cut in. "You don't need to lecture me about the details."Their walk toward the elevator halted upon hearing an angry voice shouting Lila's name."We need to talk." Tony told Lila once he managed to face her which made her nose puckered."I don't think so." Replied Lila coldly as the same time Andrew stood beside her in protective manner. She really didn't want
"We're sitting on a bench, ice creams in our hands, and useless VIP access." Andrew licked the ice cream in his hand.Lila giggled. "Come on, don't be such a whiny. What's wrong with sitting here and watching those people scream in fear." She ended with a grin.Andrew snorted. Because Lila insisted on walking around the moment their feet stepped inside the park. She told Andrew that she wanted to feel the ambiance of the people which ended in the ice cream booth.He shoved the ice cream into his mouth in one go, leaving the empty cone in his hand. While he saw Lila beside him still licking her ice cream, happily watching people scream on the roller-coaster.Observing Lila whose smile bloomed as the roller-coaster above started to launch, then her smile turned wider as the people inside it screamed and her soft laughter escaped when it turned upside down. She was so weird but she looked more attractive than when she was in her sexy distress state.
"Aunt Becky said she and Uncle Malcolm are going home today because she misses your baby." Andrew told Lila in the car. They were on their way back to Andrew's mansion from lunch.Their lunch was way past the lunch time, because the three of them went to the hospital first as Andrew wanted to make sure the injured employees got the treatment that they should have.And after the injured employees were declared that they could go home, Andrew told Max to settle the hospital bill.A second later, Lila heard Andrew continued. "What does that mean? Do you have a baby?"Lila laughed. Andrew sounded like Uncle Malcolm when she mentioned the baby, except Andrew's tone was calm."It's a kitten." She told Andrew."Oh… Do you want to go home as well or--""What kind of question is that? Of course, I'll go to their home. Right after you give me your blood."Andrew tilted a smile. He promised Lila to give his blood today.
At the same time, in the high-rise apartment building in the heart of the capital city, Carla was relaxing in front of the tv. She was in Tony's apartment.For the past year, she regularly visited Tony, which earned her the key to his apartment. They were having fun and satisfying each other's lust while Tony was still Lila's boyfriend at that time.Today was the same. Carla was waiting for Tony to get home from work. She liked the thrill, and also the thoughts that Tony was finally hers and her cousin ended with a bartender. Her effort wasn't for nothing.She laughed wickedly.All she needed to do was to keep Tony stay by her side. That was why she troubled herself to prepare dinner for him, though she actually bought it. But Tony didn't have to know that. All he had to know was that she took care of him.She was pouring water into a glass when Tony opened the apartment door. He looked different."Welcome home…" Carla didn't man
Entering her lab after four hours teaching, Lila found her two interns were munching instead of doing their job."John, you bought croissants?" Asked Lila, dropping her bag near the croissant's box then took one croissant and gave it a bite.She noticed the box was from Angela Barlow's café in one glance. No wonder the croissant tasted very damn good, an oasis for her empty stomach."Uhm, he did." Answered John, pointing at the lab's inner space.Lila followed John's pointed finger while having the second bite."Henry?" Lila lifted her brows.Henry smiled. "Hi Lila, your lab is cool."Your cousin's money's lab. Lila narrowed her eyes. "What are you doing here?" "Stopping by and delivering the croissant for you and Uncle Malcolm."Lila glared in a warning mode. People in the University didn't know that she was related to the president of the University, and she intended to keep it that way forever.
"Is it okay if Henry's here?""Why?" Henry frowned upon hearing Evan's question. He was telling Andrew about his trip to the University this morning, when Evan strode into the room with his questionable question.They were in the Arena because Andrew wanted to punish the chickens who had dared to kidnap Lila."It's fine, Evan." Answered Andrew.The frown on Henry's face didn't change. "Now I need your permission to be here?""It's a thought, Henry. Not a permission." Answered Andrew again."Yeah? If you think I can't be here, can I still be here?" Sneered Henry."I said it's fine." Andrew rolled his eyes. Although it was true that he wouldn't let Henry stay if he thought it would harm Henry's future."Is there something you guys hide from me?" Henry glared at Andrew and Evan in turn.Evan said nothing. He looked at Andrew, waiting for his response because he didn't have the right to make any response.
