During dinner, Margaret looked at Shane and asked, “so, where will you be using as your study? How about getting Paulina to assign Abigail, Julia and Rebecca to clean Eric’s own for you?”“That won’t be necessary mom. As you already know, I cleaned the studio today. I intend using that.” Shane replied while picking out bones from his fish.“Why would you want to use that? I have been thinking of tearing that place down and then you suddenly asked for the key to clean it and now you want to make it your study?”“Yes. I like the peace and quiet there. From there I could hear the birds sing and the sound of the lake.”“Oh please.” Margaret dropped her cutleries while rolling her eyes. “Don’t tell me I have to hear that again and from you. Eric chose to put that hut there. According to him, it was because of the serenity and tranquility of the place. Said he wanted to hear the birds singing, the lake clapping, the breeze humming and blah blah blah. I thought he said all those because of h

Days turned into weeks as Shane bought the hearts of the board members. But the more he shows how efficient he was, the more work and problems he found on his desk for attendance and solutions. He didn’t mind any way, he tackled the ones he could and the ones he couldn’t, he called for a meeting for everyone to put brain together.Margaret was at most the happiest with how things were. If there was one thing she couldn’t take and would do anything to avoid? It was letting someone else take over her hard work and sweat. Seeing how Shane slowly and eventually became the worthy CEO of Lockwood’s Inc and Enterprises, she couldn’t express her joy.Shane had no issue with his work life, except for his love life. From the day he returned till the moment, he had noticed his undeniable attraction to Lilly. At first, he told himself that it was nothing and just how he used to feel for her back in the days. He also believed that he thinks he was attracted to her because it has been long he had l

When Lilly didn’t hear him say anything again, she knew she has no reason of lingering around anymore but she doesn’t want to go, she hasn’t had her fill of him yet and hoped he would invite her in.As if reading her thought, Shane opened the door wider and said, “come on in, it’s really cold out here.” He saw her looked up at him immediately, at first he thought she would refuse and was already thinking of what to say to get her to agree when he saw the twinkling of her eyes, it brushed on his heart once again and he knew he was losing it for this petite girl in front of him.He made way for her to enter and after she did, he shut the door gently and walked straight to his desk. The studio had been changed to look more like a study, but it’s still has it’s spark. He dropped the tray on his desk and settled himself on the chair, he motioned that she should take the chair opposite him and she did. He keep feeling her eyes on him as he poured himself a cup of coffee, he brought the mug

Lilly woke up with eye bags in the morning due to lack of sleep, she was tired as well and wants nothing than to lay back down and sleep but Paulina won’t hear of it as she chased her up to carry on with her morning routine.She sluggishly got up from her bed and joined the girls in bathing and preparing for the day. She left the room after dressing into her maid attire and went to the garden to pluck lilies that she would put in Margaret’s room.Just as she got to the garden, she heard a voice not far away from her, recognizing the voice immediately, she peaked through the flowers at the owner, he was putting on a navy blue shirt, his left hand in his white slacks as his right held his phone to his ear. He appeared to be immersed in his discussion on the phone that he didn’t notice her spying on him.At the sight of him, she couldn’t stop herself from remembering what kept her awake most of the night. The feel of his lips on hers and the way his tongue stroked hers and explored her m

When Shane returned later at night, he was so tired that his face tells it. He had been delayed in a meeting at the last minute and he wanted nothing more than ending the whole thing and leaving. Finally, the meeting ended and he was back but only to notice something was different, but he just can’t tell what.His mother was in the living room, watching the evening news and only looked up at the sound of his entrance, “you are back” she greeted when she saw him, “how was the meeting?”“Good” Shane answered before taking off his jacket and placing it on his briefcase on top the couch before lowering his height on it, “I didn’t know when you left.”“Yes, I was tired and needed the rest.”“I see” was his reply as he started unbuttoning his navy blue shirt.“You look tired.”“I am.”“Then go freshen up and have something to eat, Paulina made your favourite” she dropped.“Great” he muttered before standing up, picking up his properties and making his way upstairs to his room.He walked dow

Chapter fifteen

Lilly couldn’t give an account of how she happened to leave Shane’s study but she found herself stopping midway in her walk to the house. Christ! What just happened?She replayed everything that happened in the night in her mind, wait, sir Shane said he loves her?Did he really say it or did she mishear him?Could it really be he loves her?Is he really in love with her like he said?The questions troubled her mind but she still found herself turning giddy, her heart swelling in her happiness as she felt as light as a feather.He loves her! He really said he loves her!That means the feeling is mutual, that means she isn’t wrong in feeling like this, but what will his mother say when she finds out or must importantly what is her stand with Shane now? What could she say they are?She tried to remember if he said anything relating to that but there was nothing. His words after telling her he loves her were, “go and sleep. I’m pretty sure you need it right now” then he kissed her before

Chapter sixteen

Later that night, Lilly made coffee and took it to his study as always, she knocked on the door and the door opened in seconds to reveal Shane’s handsome face, he took the tray from her and pulled her into the room, placing the tray on a small shelf, he turned to her, “what took you so long?”“I’m sorry sir, I was...”“Sir?” Shane interrupted and she responded by blushing, “what did I tell you flower?”“I’m sorry sir..Shane” she said in a light tone.“Better,” Shane smiled, “now come with me” he grabbed her hand and dragged her to the door.“You are not working?” She asked surprised.“No.”“But you said...”“I had to, my mom was there. Besides,” he stopped and turned to her, “bringing me coffee is the only way to get you out,” he grinned and turned to the door, opening it and walking out with her behind him. They walked on but instead of walking to the house, they walked father from it and the studio.“Where are we going sir?”Shane stopped with a groan, “call me sir one more time and

Chapter seventeen

Days passed with Lillian and Shane getting closer and more in love. By morning, they are a superior and a maid but by night, they are sweet romantic lovers. It’s funny how they have been dating for one good month in the house and no one knew about it. Lilly on the other hand refused to tell any one, not even her mother who asked during one of her visit to see her in the house why she was glowing but she had said nothing.Abigail had tried getting the truth out of her that day but she remained clammed up and she could do nothing but let her be, keeping in mind to ask her during her weekend off when she will come home.On the other hand, Margaret didn’t fail to notice how Shane seems to have a soft spot for Lillian or is she over thinking things? Last week, he had bought her the exact piece of the flower verse Lillian broke and the day before that, she heard from Paulina that he gave her some money to replace the plates Lillian broke. Can that be over thinking?Now, last weekend when so

“What do you mean by Diane is onto you?” Shane was really confuse.“Early this morning when I left the study, she met me in the kitchen and she threatened to have me reported if she finds out I’m doing something wrong.”“Something like?”“Well for example,” she shrugged, “dating any of the boys.”Shane’s eyebrow lift up in amusement just like the corner of his lips lift up in a playful smirk, “dating which boys?”“Please stop, you know what I’m talking about” she pouted and he laughed softly.“But, aren’t you dating one of the boys?” He teased.“What? No! I’m dating the master! It’s a total different thing from dating the boys” this time, Shane laughed out loud. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her forehead.“What do you want me to do, should I fire her?” He asked lovingly.“No! But I was thinking if we can...I don’t know, limit how we see each other?” She asked not really sure how he will react to that and she confirmed when his face changed from smiling to a frown.“What do yo

Chapter nineteen

Shane turned to his mother when Lillian was out of sight, “what was the meaning of that mother?”Margaret furrowed her brows, “meaning of what?” She asked, looking at him, wanting to see every reaction on his face. Her accusation on Lilly was a gamble, seeing how Shane has been protecting her gives her a bad vibe. Although she told herself it’s possible to be just a fondness he has for her but she just can’t keep it at fondness, they has to be something more and Lillian’s reaction had proven it a little to her, with the way she reacted and how her body fidgeted when she accused her of going after her son had broaden her thought. It could be that she is in love with Shane and Shane had no idea, if so then her warning today will probably throw her off but if it happens that Shane is in love with her too, then it will be a bigger problem so she better start now to avoid it.“Why was Lillian crying in front of your study?”“I have no idea.”“Mom, please, I’m not a child.”“I never said yo
