One night with Mr. Lancaster Chapter 23|
Ava's POV:Nancy approached us with a wide smile. We see her so frequently that we became friends already.“How are you both doing?” she greeted warmly. “You two have to come into the store. A dress came in that is so you. Please, just take a look!”“Oh, we’re going in for sure—I’m already curious! Besides, you need new clothes to fit your new lifestyle.” Terra said, tugging me by the hand into the boutique.The sales assistant brought out the dress still in its protective cover. It was a red evening dress, shimmering and short, with spaghetti straps, a deep V-neckline, and a plunging back that reached the base of the spine. Sexy wasn’t even the word. It was absolutely stunning.“Dressing room. Now,” Terra commanded, eyes sparkling.“Terra, come on. I don’t even go out at night. Where would I wear something like this?” I protested, trying to resist.“Well, in case you forget, Luke arrives today, and I’m already planning to convince him to take us dancing next weekend. Now go!”“You’re
One night with Mr. Lancaster Chapter 22| Hiccup
Matthew's POV:I stepped back into the party hall, trying to find Milo—but he was nowhere. Neither was Eubanks. Everything around me was spinning. I needed to get out of there. Fast.I started crossing the room, nodding politely to a few guests even though I could barely keep my balance. That’s when I felt someone wrap their arms around my waist. A sickly-sweet perfume invaded my senses, and before I knew it, Katherine was dragging me through the crowd, babbling to people along the way.I was so out of it, so disoriented from the alcohol, I couldn’t even fight her off.She tugged me into the elevator. I tried to pull away."Matthew, I can see you're drunk. Let’s go to your office. You can rest, drink some water, and we’ll come back down later.” Her voice grated on my nerves.“Katherine, let me go. I need to find Milo,” I managed to mutter."How about this? You go to your office, and I’ll go get him. Deal?”I nodded, mostly to make her stop talking. I didn’t even realize she hadn’t lef
One night with Mr. Lancaster Chapter 21| A man's dilemma
Matthew's POV:I sat there, stunned, as Ava rushed out of the conference room after kissing me like she couldn’t live without me. For a few seconds, I just stared at the door, unable to move.It wasn’t until Milo and Eubanks walked in that I finally snapped out of it.“She kissed me,” I said, more to myself than to them. “She responded to my kiss.”I knew her, as crazy as it may sound. I knew the way her body trembled in my arms, the way her breath hitched. She wanted me just as much as I wanted her. That kiss…that kiss meant something. I smiled. Maybe this tradition wasn't bad at all.“Ava stormed out like Flash, you know Flash? That superhero?” Milo commented, arching a brow.“She’s shy and she's confused as of the moment but she knew this was it,” I said with a quiet confidence.Eubanks, my secretary and friend shook his head. “Okay, Romeo. What happened?”I told them everything—how I ghosted the dinner with Gerald and with who I was. My plan to make it uo to them, the kiss, her te
One night with Mr. Lancaster Chapter 20| Hello, wife
Two days passed by swiftly. The Lancaster mansion became Ava's home for two days since the day Matthew took her from their house. It had been a bliss for her--she loved the study because it had a huge selection of books she never had the chance to read. Gerald told her to consider the mansion her new home and she's free to explore the entire vicinity. That was how she found the study. Ava loved reading, to pass her time, she read a lot. She haven't felt peace this way for a long time so she cherished it.It was peaceful, just her and the books she found. Until that peace was interrupted by a single knock. "Hi, I hope I'm not interrupting your 'me-time'.""Alfred, hi." Ava beamed. In her two days at the mansion, Alfred made her stay easier and homey. She closed her book and set it on her lap. "No, it's okay. Is there a problem?"Alfred returned her smile with a friendly expression and shook his head. "No, none at all. It's just that you have to be ready.""For what?""You're not suppo
One night with Mr. Lancaster Chapter 19| Beatriz
"No, no, no!" Beatriz rushed to her bedroom. Slammed the door shut and unleashed her frustration. "Ava! You b*tch! All this years and you still manage to get the best life can offer! You witch!"She screamed at the top of her lungs, not caring about the other people who might hear her tantrums. Every staff at the Priestly household has gotten used to her screaming whenever she doesn't get her way. Unhappy about her screaming, she ripped the comforter from her bed and threw the pillows against the wall. She needed an outlet for her rage.After a full hour of throwing and screaming, she grabbed her laptop and sat on the corner. Her entire room looked like a cyclone had destroyed everything but that's the least of her concern. Helga didn't check on her like she always does--her mother is preoccupied with her own issues as of now. Mr. Walton stayed ten minutes after exchanging a quiet debate with her mother.She knew that if the man wasn't repaid--it might be her. She will take Ava's plac
One night with Mr. Lancaster Chapter 18| Circumstances
"Alice, hey!" Matthew threw his passenger a pissed glare. "Every f*cking time."Because they've known each other for a long time, this incident was no longer new for Matthew--this happened several times a month. Alice goes out with her so-called friends whose only mission was to ride on her influence and popularity and leave her just like that when the pictures are taken and the happening was posted on I* or other social app.Matthew hit the steering wheel in agony, "every f*cking time, Alice. What happened to your friends? You shouldn't be walking alone the streets especially when you intend to get drunk."The truth was, Alice was not asleep. She's not even drunk.Her alcohol tolerance was exemplary, thanks to the daily exposure to social drinking since she was a teen. She could down a whole bottle of tequilla in one go without breaking a sweat. It was all her doing--a one woman show. Her timing was perfect. The man who was bugging her was good too. He was a struggling actor she met
