Mile’s POVI stepped out of the house and then aimed for the vehicle that was parked a few meters away from the café entrance. Sam saw me coming so he stepped out of the car and opened the door to the back seat for me.“Take me home,” I told him immediately I sat and slipped on my seat belt.Immediately after Sam started the car, my phone began to ring. I pulled it out of my jacket and my eyes widened when I discovered that it was a FaceTime call.Now, here is the twist. Felicia had dropped a contact earlier and had told me the lady’s name was Diane. I didn’t save the number nor did I text her so tell me why Diane, saved on my phone was FaceTiming me.This could only mean one thing. Felicia had saved the contact in my phone.As the phone kept ringing, anxiety took charge of every part of my body. They say never keep a woman waiting so I breathed a sigh and responded to the call.“Hi,” her soft voice came on the moment her face appeared on my screen.It wasn’t like I was expecting an a
Mile’s POV“Just a moment,” I said and continued working on my tie.I’m sure Granpa had sent a domestic staff to come get me for breakfast. I didn’t see Felicia for the rest of the night and I’m sure she was still mad at me.Well, maybe it’s a good thing as we will get to avoid each other till she is gone. However, the last thing I wanted to do was cause hostility between Grayham and his aunt.The knock on the door persisted.“I said I’ll be down in a minute,” I said, my voice etched with frustration.A few moments later, the knock came on.I sighed and went to the door to scold the servant who could not comprehend my response.I opened the door and my eyes widened in astonishment.“Aunty Felicia!”She sighed. “Can I come in?”I swallowed hard. “Sure,” I replied and moved aside.She stepped into the room and I followed her. Then she rested her back against the wall. “Looks like you’re getting ready.”“Yeah. Today is Friday so I’ll be back on time and you don’t have to worry about me b
Miles POV“You made it?” I asked Henry when he walked into my office.“Sure.” He said and dropped the cup of latte in a saucepan on the table in front of me.My messenger called sick so Henry stepped in.I took my eyes off the iPad in front of me and then stared intensely at the latte.Henry designed a leaf on top. I folded my arms across my chest and didn’t take my eyes off the drink for moments I can’t account for until Henry cleared his throat loudly.I sighed and then lowered my hand. “Sorry, I got carried away.”“By a cup of latte?” Henry arched a brow.I pointed at the cup. “The leaf. You designed that?”He laughed. “Yeah. I just wanted to try a trick my mom does with her coffee and it looks like you love it because you zoned out for like a minute.”I looked up at him. “Really?”He nodded repeatedly. “There was also this wide grin on your face that for a moment, I was scared your mouth was going to tear up.”“Oh, please Henry.”He pulled the chair facing my desk and sat. “I’m s
Mile’s POVI stepped out of the limousine and then took charge of my briefcase from Sam.“I’ll take it inside, sir.” He tried to protest.“It’s fine. Just head back to your quarters.” I told him and aimed for the building, the briefcase in my hand. I was about to reach the door when Grayham’s Granpa came rushing out. I sighed and hurried toward him.“Sorry, I’m late. There was so much to do today.” I said and glanced at my wristwatch. “Well, at least it’s seven minutes to dinner time so I’m not that late.” I smiled.“Forget about dinner.” He waved one hand down. “She’s here.”“Who?” I tried to look through the entrance.“Felicia. She’s here. She just dropped by the house an hour ago and she didn’t even mention that she was going to come but you know her.” He said.“Yeah,” I replied and then turned away.Grayham had mentioned Felicia. She was his bossy maternal aunt who showed up at the house whenever she wished. Felicia works in finance for a renowned corporate agency so she’s a big s
Miles POV“Okay. You’ve got this, Miles.” I muttered under my breath and brushed off my jacket.I took another glance at the signpost and then marched into the clubhouse.I’ve never been this depressed since the switch happened. I’m so bored to death that I decided to storm VISTAS, the clubhouse.I made my way into the building and walked past the crowded people. Disco lights were shining around the room as music blasted through the speakers.The room was crowded and no one seemed to mind. People danced, drank, and flirted.I made it past the people and finally reached the bar stand. I noticed two long barstools facing the counter and I hurried there. I pulled out a stool and then sat.It’s easier to access the VIP lounge with Grayham’s face and credit card but I wouldn’t want to go through the experience I had the other time. Even though I could use some company now, I think I should stay at the bar and stand alone, have a couple of drinks, and maybe, that will leave me charged.“Wha
Miles POVIt’s the second day of renovations and I have just arrived at the house during my lunch break from the office. So far, all work on the second floor will be completed today then the café reconstruction will begin.I walked into the room and made my way up the staircase. The fresh smell of paint took charge of my nostrils and when I reached the second floor, my jaws almost dropped to the floor in amazement.The walls were colored with thick blue paint. I gazed up and caught the POP white ceilings that had just replaced the old and rotten ones.A group of workers glides around carrying a ladder.I smiled and imagined what my father’s reaction would be if he were there.There were a couple of unhinged doors lying on the floor and soon, they’ll be fixed to the various entrance rooms of the second floor.I took another look at the place and made my way toward the third floor. When I reached the door, I tried to open it and then realized that it opened easily.I walked into the roo
