Lily was able to move into her new house during the weekend. She was supposed to call Mila, but she had a lot going on in her head. She shook her head while a little smile played on her lips. It seems like Carson was already falling for her. She reminisced on the moment he wanted to kiss her in the car, but changed his mind. Though she couldn't really explain what was going on in his head, she felt he found her attractive. Besides, who could resist her curves, huh? Lily moved out of her room, she was yet to unwrap some furniture in her room and hasn't gotten a little stuff she will be needing. At least, she would be free from her nagging parents and annoying Nora. She sighed and walked out of her room, it was a two-bedroom flat and the other room was the guest room. Lily walked to the balcony of her room and stood there. She loved the view in front of her as she giggled like a baby. The breeze blew on her skin, swaying her hair, and she slowly closed her eyes. The sound of her ph
The moment, the wall clock clicked, giving the sign of what time it was. Carson picked up his phone from the table. He put a call across to Lillian, he wanted to meet her and hoped she was going to agree this time around.The first call went in vain, and he called again. Suddenly, she picked up, and his eyes lightened up. “Hey, Ella.” He called in a husky tone.“Hey, how are you doing?” She asked like she cares.“I'm doing just fine. Hey, what's your plans for the evening? Do you mind if we meet for dinner?” He inquired with a bit of hope.“Alright, that would be fine by me.” Lily uttered, and she could hear him sigh from the other end.“Alright, cool. I will come pick you up, just text me your address. Hope to see you soon, beautiful.” Carson added before ending the call.A wide smile displayed at the corners of his lips. Maybe Owen was right, perhaps she had no idea who he was, but he was determined to show her tonight. Most ladies were definitely after his looks and money, and he
The heavy knock on the door made Lillian jerked back to reality. She moved swiftly to check who it was and noticed Nora standing with her luggage.Lily moved away from the door without saying a word, and Nora stepped in. Mila heard the knock too and stepped out of the kitchen.“Hey! You didn't tell me you were coming back today.” Mila said with beady eyes and scanned Nora, who looked exhausted from her trip.“I'm sorry about that. Do we have anything edible in the house? I'm so hungry.” Nora inquired and laid her back on the couch.“All thanks to Lily, she bought a few things in the kitchen.” Mila added with a smile, but Nora's countenance changed.“Don't worry, Nora, I wouldn't mock you for eating what I bought with my money.” Lily started with a smirk and moved to the bedroom, while Nora scoffed.Lillian kept pacing back and forth in the room. While biting her bottom lip nervously. She has been trying to think of the best way to make Carson fall in love with her.Tessa had done her
Carson had woken up the next day, his thoughts wrapped around Lily, he couldn't get the image of her off his mind.He walked out of his room and descended the stairs while scrolling through his phone. “Good morning sir,” Rosa said while bowing slightly, she was the only maid working in the house. She comes in the morning, cleans the house, and makes breakfast before leaving.He ignored her and walked straight to the sitting room. Suddenly, he placed a call across to Bernard, his secretary.“I won't be coming to work today. Clear all appointments.” Carson ordered, and before Bernard could say a word, he ended the call.After some seconds, his phone began to ring, and he averted his eyes to it immediately. What was he expecting? For Ella to call him when she doesn't have his number? But then, it was his best friend calling.“Hey man! I will explain why I had to disappoint you yesterday. Are you at home or at work?” Owen inquired from the other end.“I'm at home, I have a gist for you.”
Lillian smiled sheepishly while he gave a compliment on her looks. “So, tell me, do you live around here?” He asked calmly while sitting on the next stool.Lily became stiff for a second, she was contemplating on what answer to give. “Yeah, I live around.” She replied and took a sip of her drink while praying silently for him not to ask her any other personal questions.Lillian glanced around with her eyes and sighted most of the ladies staring towards the bar, and some were giving her a hard glare. “It seems like you're quite popular, everyone is staring at you,” she uttered and looked at him.Carson turned his head and sighted the ladies, one of them waved at him while smiling sheepishly, and he scoffed.“That's how they are, they stare at me all night whenever I come here to chill out.” He spoke, with a bit of pride echoing in his voice.“I guess they can't help it. You're worth staring at.” Lillian said, and regret spilling those words out, but he heard her already.“You think so?
All eyes fixed intensely on Lillian as they waited anxiously for her response. The room was filled with total tranquility, and Lily licked her bottom lip and sighed. “Mila,” she called and averted her eyes to her. “He was the man who almost ran over me with his car the day I left home while heading to your place.” She responded, and Tessa sighed in relief. “I thought you had once fallen victim because of his charms. Thank heavens, it is something different.” Tessa said sincerely and shoved her phone into her bag. “Don't you think he might find it suspicious if I approach him first? Like I was totally rude to him that day, in a nutshell; we were all pissed.” Lillian uttered, and Tessa itched her nape while thinking. “I will add whatever money you want. Please, Lily, just try it out. I promise to increase the pay to one hundred thousand dollars.” Tessa spoke and Mila gasped with wide eyes. “I promise not to disappoint you, Tessa. But… I hope you won't go broke.” Lily said in concer
