It wasn’t long before Luke saw Vera step into the living room.
Luke silently watched Vera. He had to force himself not to smile when he watched Vera admire all the food.
But then she slid her eyes to Luke.
‘Please, sit.’
He motioned Vera to sit at the table.
Vera didn’t think about it and sat at the table. Luke then sat beside her.
‘I didn’t know what you liked. So, I figured that I would order everything.’
‘I’m not fussy. I’ll eat anything.’ Vera told him.
This pleased Luke.
Though he didn’t show it.
He reached across the table and grabbed a piece of toast and then scooped about four spoons of scrabbled eggs.
Luke smiled to himself when he saw Vera grab a banana and a bunch of grapes first.
A good girl. He thought.
Though what made him nearly lose his seriousness was when the next thing she grabbed was the jug of coffee.
Not so good, after all. He then thought.
Luke finished his eggs.
Vera finished her fruit. And now she was getting into a pile of scrambled eggs.
He liked it that it looked like Vera didn’t care about watching what she eats.
Not like most of the women around him.
Though watching Vera eat, he couldn’t understand where it was all going to fit.
He was amazed that she had a nice body. She was very skinny. But he could tell that she was strong. She was fit.
He had to leave now.
He needed to take a breather.
He had to.
‘I have to go now. But you can take as long as you need.’ He had suddenly spoke. It kind of startled her. Because it had been silent for minutes.
Luke then hopped up and turned to leave.
‘Wait.’ Vera called out.
It jolted Luke to a stop.
Hearing her voice, telling him to stop. She didn’t want him to leave.
Did that mean she trusted him. He wondered.
Luke turned back to Vera and gave her a look as if to say, say what you were going to ask.
She didn’t looked fazed.
If anything, the look she gave back was if she was challenging him.
She was a tough woman. He thought.
‘Have I still got the job? If so, when do I start?’ she asked, then.
Luke tried not to smile. Though his mouth betrayed him, by slightly twitching.
He liked that she wasn’t scared to approach him. She didn’t cower like everyone else does.
‘It’s still yours. I’ll email you the details.’ Was all he said before turning away and walking out of his penthouse.
Usually he wouldn’t have left a woman in his room. He didn’t trust women to not go through his belongings.
But he trusted Vera Rayne.
After all, she has only shown him trust.
He had trusted her to give him a son and then hand the child over without her even seeing what the baby looked like.
She didn’t even ask what sex was the child.
He trusted her with his most precious thing that was his.
That was his seed.
He gave it to her and she delivered.
With a bonus.
She didn’t just give him a son. But she also gave him a daughter.
His children were his everything.
His son, he was the heir to his company. He was very much like himself.
His daughter, she was his little princess. She couldn’t do anything wrong.
...
Meanwhile...
Vera felt uncomfortable being in her bosses hotel room. And he wasn’t here with her.
She thought about just leaving her breakfast and leave.
But she somehow knew that he would probably know.
He probably would ask the kitchen staff, how much food was left on the trolley.
She could only eat it.
So, as quick as she could, she shoved the food into her mouth.
She was going to regret it. She knew that she was going to be sick.
But she didn’t want to stay here for much more longer.
Vera ate her banana and grapes and then finished a bunch of scrambled eggs. She gulped it down with her coffee, finishing it with the glass of orange juice.
She was definitely going to regret it later.
Vera saw that there was still two banana’s on the trolley. And because banana’s were her favourite fruit she dared to take them.
It was an extremely brave thing to do. Considering that Mr. Reynolds was the type of man, the type of person to execute the person who stole from him.
But she figured that he has only shown her kindness. Even though his reputation had said that he was the complete opposite.
She also figured that, it was already paid for. And therefore, it wasn’t stealing.
....
Luke sat in his office, watching the security cameras of his penthouse.
He wasn’t spying on her because he didn’t trust her.
It was because he just wanted to look at her.
He had thought she was the most beautiful woman he had ever met.
As he stared at the screen, a smile spread across his face when he saw Vera open the door and before stepping out, she had peered her head out and carefully looked back and forth.
It was clear to Luke that she didn’t want to be seen coming out of his room.
She was worried what pass buyers thought of her.
He watched on still.
Vera then decided that it was OK to leave. So, she quickly stepped out of the room and then practically running for the lift.
In that time, Luke had noticed two things.
Both made him smile.
One more than the other.
First. Luke had noticed that she had taken two bananas. He smiled because she took something from him.
It made him happy. Because he wanted to give her anything she wanted. And if she could take even just bananas. Then one day she may accept other gifts.
Second. Luke had noticed that Vera didn’t have her heels on. Not even in hers hands.
It made Luke smile because it gave him an excuse to talk to her again.
And that’s why, Luke smiled wider than the first one.
He couldn’t wait to see her again.
It made him wonder, would she come back for her shoes. Or would she make him give them to her.
He knew the answer to that.
He was going to give them to her.
He was going to make it an excuse to see where on his hotel, was she staying.
Boss, where are you? Luke received a message from Josh.He wondered if his trusted friend and personal assistant, had found out anything about the girl who he did not think about it and let her stay in his penthouse and with out him.In my office at the hotel. He messaged Josh back.He expected to see his friend in a few minutes. So while he waited, he lit up a cigarette to calm his nerves.Luke never finishes his cigarettes. But this one he did.He didn’t realise how on edge he was.Soon after, Josh walked in.The first glance at his boss, he could tell that something was troubling him.‘Sir?’ He asked.Josh knew it was no good to ask him, what was wrong. He knew his boss would tell him to keep out of his business.Especially when he looked mad.Luke ignored him for a moment and glanced at the screen.Vera was now out of sight. Luke didn’t like that and frowned deeper.
Vera rushed into her room. She felt a little vulnerable. She didn’t know this man, yet she invited him in. She just had to remember that he had been nice to her the night before. It made her to consider to trust him.
In the lift, it was quiet until Rayne decided to break the silence.He wasn’t silly. He knew that there was something up with his father.Infact, his father neveragreesto ice-cream.He was very strict when it came to food.‘Miss Rayne?’ The boy, asked.
Vera felt her heart beat fast.She wanted to smile, but didn’t because she couldn’t get comfortable with these children.She knew that after tonight, she wouldn’t be seeing these children again.And to be honest, she thought the children were absolutely beautiful. She had wished that her child would have looked like either, Rayne or Sera.
There was silence around the table while they ate.It was the rules at the Reynolds manor.But Vera did it, because she was used to eating by herself.But the whole time, Luke was loving having a dinner with both parents are present.He was imagining them as a proper family.
Vera knew she wouldn’t be sleeping in her bed tonight.She seems that she wasn’t supposed to.She only thinks that because she has only been here for two nights and both nights she wouldn’t have slept in her bed.Luke took this as a good time to bring up what she meant when she had told him about not for little kids ears.‘What did you mean?’ Luke suddenly said.It startled Vera to look at him.Luke was already watching her and so, he had seen how startled she had been.It made Luke frown.This made him mad. He was really mad.Not at Vera though.He wanted to protect her.‘I apologize,’ Luke sincerely says to her.‘It’s ok.’ Vera says and then moves over to the chair she was earlier and then sat down.‘What do you mean?’ Vera says.‘When you said not for little kids ears.’ Luke said without thinking.
Once Luke put Vera to bed, he admired her for a quick moment and then sat back on the single chair he seemed to claimed earlier.He was going to sleep there.He didn’t want to leave his children.Not because he didn’t trust Vera.It was true that he barely knew her.But he did completely trust her.He just didn’t want to seem like a bad father in front of her.He didn’t care if it was anyone else. He didn’t care about what others thought of him.It was her that he only care about what she thought of him.It has only ever been Her.The children woke up early because they had gone to sleep quite early.Luke sensed his children were awake.His automatic response was to look over at the woman who has taken up all of his thoughts. The woman who was asleep on the bed.He could tell that she was still in a deep sleep.He could tell by the light snore she was makin
