Chapter 24
Victor’s pov
I called Mr. Keys after I dropped Eloise off, I had approached him as soon as I heard his company was up for sale. I offered the highest to buy it and he accepted, the old man seemed to like me. I
realized he recognized me. I called to tell him I wanted to revise the contract.
I didn’t need to revise anything, I just needed an excuse to see Eloise. I went straight to David’s place, where he was staying with Victoria since it was the closest place to my office. If I decide to go to the Harts estate where I live, I would get home late and I would sleep late. Sleeping late means waking up late for me.
I parked my car in the garage and I went in, David didn’t change the passcode. Why does the passcode feel like someone’s birthday? My subconscious read the date to me. Hell no, this is Victoria’s birthday. What am I thinking? Does David like Victoria? No way, he just didn’t want to put mine or his.
I went up to my room, I heard the door to David’s open so I waited to say hi to him. Instead of him coming out, Victoria came out. ” Why are you coming out of there in that?” I pointed at David’s room.
She screamed immediately she saw me and David rushed out to see what was happening. “Why are you guys wearing matching PJs? Is there something I am missing? Where is mine?”Victoria sighed and David said, “Sneaking into my house at 12 am is crazy. You don’t even like my place.”
“I didn’t sneak into your house, I didn’t want to bother by calling, normal people are usually asleep by this time. What is Victoria doing in your room right now?” I asked him, I hope nothing fishy is going on, Victoria is crazy enough to give him a love potion or something.
They looked at each other and he said, “We are preparing for our last exam,”
“I am not a fool, I am only buying that because I need to sleep. I would appreciate some toast and coffee for breakfast,” I left them to do their thing and I went to my room. I fell asleep immediately I laid on the bed.
I woke up earlier than normal because I wanted to go to The Keys’ place for the contract. I wore my favourite Armani suit because I had a date with mom later in the day. Victoria prepared the food I asked for, I ate and I left for The Keys’ house. I got there and they welcomed me heartily. I sat down on a chair and Mr. Keys sat opposite me. “So what do you want to revise in the contract?” He asked me.
“Your daughter, I want to marry her,” I replied him.
“That does not have to be in the contract, she will marry you without it being there,”
“Oh really,” I looked at him in disbelief.
“You should meet her upstairs, she is in her room. Her name is written boldly on the door to her room.”
‘Okay then, I will go talk to her,” I went up to her room, and I entered without knocking. She didn’t have anything on except a short towel that barely cover her ass.
“What are you doing here?” She exclaimed as soon as she saw me.
“You are now mine, even your father has consented,” I grinned at her.
“Get out of my room, I need to dress up,”
“Never tell me to get out or else.” I swallowed my saliva.
“Or else what?”
“I will just do this, I carried her and I sat on her bed. I flipped her over my thighs making her bottom face me and I spanked. I felt water on my face and I opened my eyes. Victoria was pouring my head. I knew my dream was too good to be true. Victoria will never cook for me and what was with the spanking.
“Lazy ass you are late, ” Victoria said to me and she left my room. I went to the bathroom to do my thing. I rushed out of the bathroom, dressed up real quick, and left for The Keys.
“Good morning Rose,” I greeted Eloise’s mom as she opened the door for me.
“We have been expecting you,” She said with a wild smile on her face. They have really been expecting me because I didn’t press the doorbell before she opened the door.
“I woke up late, I am sorry for coming in late,”
“Ah, It’s fine.” She ushered me in. “Have you had breakfast?”
“No ma’am,”
“You should join us,”
“I am fine ma’am,”
“Don’t bother the young man,” Mr. Keys said.
“If he doesn’t want to eat, leave him alone. I didn’t cook his portion anyway,” Eloise said as she came out of the kitchen to drop the dishes on the dining table.
She looked beautiful in the apron she was wearing. I should eat it since she was the one that made the food. She looks fine, I thought she would be down sulking around because of her fiancé or should I say ex? but she even cooked.
“I didn’t have anything this morning so I will just eat a bit,” We settled down to eat. The food she made was really nice and I am on my third serving. I don’t get to eat nice homemade meals unless my mom or aunt Steph drops by my house.
“I thought you wanted to eat a bit. That doesn’t look like a bit to me,” Eloise uttered. Did she have to say that?
“Let the man eat,” Her parents chorused.
“I would be heading to my office now. Thank you for the meal. My lawyer would contact you about the revision, I am running late for work,” I stood up from the dining table and Mr. Keys saw me out.
“I know this is absurd but my daughter’s bum of a fiancé just ditched her. She has always hidden things from me and Rose but I know she’s hurt. I just hope you could comfort her as a friend and as a man,”
“I will,”
“I hope you understand what I mean,” He winked at me.
“Yes, I do,” What does mean by comforting her as a man? I will just ask David.
“Okay son,” He patted my back. I went to my car and I drove to work. Thank goodness my schedule has been cleared this morning.
Eloise’s pov
I woke up later than usual. I tried not to think about Sam and what had befallen me. I took a quick shower, did my skincare routine and I wore a simple dress Tory gifted me when we were in high school. I didn’t have office clothes here, just the tomboy clothes I got from thrift stores in college.
I will have to drop by my house to pick up some office clothes to wear. I rushed downstairs to prepare breakfast, so I could make it to work early. I made my dad’s favourite. Victor seemed to be running late, it’s been over an hour since I finished cooking and he wasn’t here.
I had to heat the food again and call Leslie to get me a corporate dress from a store near the office then I saw Victor come in with Rose, they were talking but I could not hear what they were saying clearly as I was back in the kitchen.
“Have you had breakfast?” I heard Rose ask him, I could hear them clearly now.
“No ma’am,” He answered her. His voice sounds deeper in a sexy kind of way. I am such a pervert.
“You should join us,” Rose insisted.
“I am fine ma,”
“Don’t bother the young man,” My dad said. I guess he saw that Victor was around that was why he came down.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“If he doesn’t want to eat, leave him alone. I didn’t cook his portion anyway,” I said angrily because he refused Rose’s offer.
“I didn’t have anything this morning so I will just eat a bit,” He said and we sat to eat.
I didn’t have the appetite to have anything, so I just pretended like I was eating and I was watching him eat. Don’t blame me. How can someone be so sexy when they eat? I am wheezing. Victor said he was going to eat a bit and he is on his third serving. Wow. Rose had this nice smile on her face as she helped him with his third serving.
“I thought you wanted to eat a bit. That doesn’t look like a bit to me,” I spoke up breaking the silence we had maintained since we started eating.
“Let the man eat,” My dad and Rose yelled at me. So now I am the bad guy.
“I would be heading to my office now. Thank you for the meal. My lawyer would contact you about the revision, I am running late for work,” He stood up from the dining table and My dad saw him out. What is that man going to say to him?
“I should go too. I am running late.” I said to Rose as I stood up and removed my apron. “Thank you for doing the dishes in advance,” I picked my bag up. “Bye Mr. and Mrs. Keys.” I left the house.
