Chapter 9 - The VisitMason followed Kelsey through the hall. It was still bothering him who they were visiting but it sure wasn't her father since they were in a children's hospital.Kelsey approached the counter and talked to the nurse. "Kelsey, it's so nice to see you again, hun. It has been a while." She greeted her."Yeah, I was really busy with work. Is he awake?" Kelsey asked her politely."Yes, just go in and surprise him. I'm sure he misses you a lot." The nurse said as Kelsey nodded and muttered a quick thank you to her. Kelsey made her way down the hall and Mason followed her. She knocked on the door and heard a voice inside giving her permission to go in.She peaked through the door as they heard a gasp. "Kelsey!""Hey." Kelsey greeted as she came in. She beckoned Mason in and he followed behind her awkwardly. Mason studied the thin bald boy in bed. An oxygen tank was placed beside him and a tube running to his nose. He was wearing a blue hospital robe and he was sit

Kelsey heard the ringing of the doorbell startling her. She put the last pile of clothes in the drawer and closed it. She slowly stood up from the floor shaking her numb legs. She then started making her way down the stairs and saw the siblings greeting each other."So, where is she?" The gentle voice of the beautiful woman standing beside Mason asked. She was indeed gorgeous and it was no doubt she and Mason were siblings. They had good genes. They both had brown hair but Mason had really dark hair whereas his sister had more of chocolate brown hair with some blonde highlights. They also both had ocean blue eyes and tall figure. Kelsey stared at them amazed that they looked as if they had just finished modelling for a fashion show.Mason glanced to his right only to see Kelsey standing at the foot of the staircase. She looked nervous as she bit her lip and played with the necklace around her neck. "Here she is." Mason announced beckoning her over. Kelsey reluctantly made her way ov

"Nina, if there are any important and urgent calls, tell me and put me through. But if they're not, leave them, I'll handle it tomorrow." Mason commanded as Nina nodded in understanding."Yes sir." She answered."Alright, I best be going then." He announced and left the office. Once he was in his car, he glanced at his gold watch and checked the time. It was already 4:37 and it would take him about half an hour to get home since it was already traffic hours. He sighed and figure it was fine to be late for a couple of minutes.~ * ~ * ~"Are you sure that I look fine?" Kelsey asked Ella for the millionth time."You look perfect, Kelsey. Now stop asking or I'm going to put some tape on your mouth." She threatened shutting Kelsey up. "Remember, table manners. Also, if your make-up fades, just touch it up. I put all the make-up you need in this purse." She said handing her the purse as Kelsey took it."Alright." Kelsey nodded and reassured Ella with a smile. "I think I'll be fine."

Delilah and Kelsey arrived at a garden restaurant around 10:30 am. Mason left for work at the same time as they left for their brunch. Delilah's chauffer drove them there and Delilah didn't need to reserve a spot to be seated right away. She would come there once in a while to have tea with her friends."Mrs. King, welcome!" A cheery lady that looked about in her late twenties came and greeted them. She smiled at both of them but eyed Kelsey a little longer than expected. "The usual spot, ma'am?""Yes, Zoey, please lead the way." Delilah said leading them to the table near the fountain. The view was amazing. It was colourful due to the flowers surrounding the garden and the air was very refreshing.Once they were seated, Kelsey couldn't help but asked, "Do you come here often?" She wondered."Only when my friends invite me for tea. I don't usually come here but the staff here knows me well." Delilah answered as they both placed their napkin on their lap."I see." Kelsey responded

Georgia came back before noon. She prepared some lunch for them and cleaned around the house. Kelsey helped her out no matter how many times Georgia sent her away and told her it was not her job to clean. The girl was stubborn though, she put up a fight and kept saying that she was gonna help no matter what.Kelsey also mentioned to Georgia about the argument she and Mason had earlier in the morning. Georgia tried to defend Mason's side but Kelsey was one hard headed woman. She didn't listen to whatever Georgia was saying about Mason. She just hated the fact that he was forbidding her to work. Sure, he was her boss, but that did not give him the right to control her.Due to their fight, Georgia decided to bring Mason some lunch. If she had sent Kelsey, she knew the two would reenact World War I. Especially since Kelsey's head was as hot as the lava.After lunch, Kelsey decided to take the time to tour around the building. Since Mason was planning on keeping her as a prisoner, she f
