Chapter nineteen

Lucian finished his meal and topped it with two glasses of water.

“Thank you again for the tour,” I said when we both stood up. He smiled at me.

“No, thank you for the opportunity you are giving me to make it up to you” He moved ahead of me and stopped in front of me. I was about to talk when he suddenly pulled me into a hug.

I let myself get lost in his warm embrace. I felt safe in his arms. Allowing his scent to engulf me in its warmth. His hands were on my lower back with mine on his back.

“I really have to get to a meeting now. Get some rest, you need it” He whispered before he let go of me. I stood staring at him as he left me. I have to find Henrietta, she wasn't here for lunch.

“Aaaaahhh” I screamed when I accidentally met with Henrietta on the staircase as soon as I made the move to climb she was already there.

“It’s just me,” She said quickly holding my hands in hers. I took deep breaths and nodded.

“You took me by shock”
