Chapter 15: Chapter 15
We were just staring at the man in front of us, who happened to be standing near Steve, where Liam had placed him, when it hit me. Not sure if I was a little let down by what had happen, but we just stared at each other for a long time until he walk out to get some water.
I was patting his leg in the hopes of lulling him back to sleep, but he remained awake. Although I didn't put him to sleep so that we could continue our doings, the process will be time-consuming due to the fact that he didn't get his sleep, which will make it a lot difficult and he might throw tantrums.
Liam handed me the water and never caedr as to whether or not that was his true name then passed the glass of water to the sleepy Steve. Then he lied down again, this time with his eyes open wide.
And at one point, I became anxious because I wasn't sure whether he had witnessed what we had shared, and second, I wasn't sure why I had returned his kiss. I'm not sure what it was about, but I kind of liked it. But I have to put a stop to this. It shouldn't be this way at all.
The words came out of my mouth while my voice was shaking: "I think we should go home because we've caused you a lot of problems tonight."
I definitely put into words how nervous I felt, and I don't want to be here. I'm not sure that staying will be a good option for me. I'm at a loss on what to do.
"Please, just continue to stay. I've never ever had a company like yours before." he told me.
And I was considering going because this was clearly not the appropriate place for me, as I was thinking, but when I glanced at Steve again, he was asleep, and I was about to pick him up when he grabbed my hand and pulled me closer to him.
"Please stay here, we have things to talk," he said to me, and I was just looking at him when he said this to me.
He head out living us in the room where Steve was, and I just stood there staring at him as he faded from my sight. I also stood there staring at Steve, who appeared to be very content in his current position, then kissed his forehead and tuck him up and then, I followed Liam out the door.
The interior of his house was beautiful, but I couldn't really appreciate it earlier, because my mind was racing with thoughts. It was a good design, but it was too big for him. There was fake stem on the handle of the stairs and a big artificial tree everywhere, but some of his plants here are real plants that can survive in homes. The vibe is a little tropical and a little refreshing.
"Ella, please come upstairs," he yelled.
In fact, I don't know if I'm the only one who feels this way, but every time I walk up and down the stairs like this, it makes me feel like a princess. His tiles were marbled with gold and white, so it has a very elegant look. His grand hall has a large chandelier, so I'm not sure whether it's still a palace or a house.
He was working behind a huge bar and his sleeves were rolled up. I was simply staring at him as the veins in his arms sprang out and it was so wonderful to see. I was drawn by him for an inexplicable reason. His broad shoulders, his messy hair, and the icy stares somehow provided warmth to me.
"Are you falling for me already? I haven't done anything to you yet," he remarked to me, and I glanced at him in disbelief.
He's not conceited; it's just that when I glanced at him, it was quite unsettling and not at all unfamiliar to me, so I decided to ignore him. I've previously dated men that I felt the same way, the way I feel now. So it's only normal for me to feel this way about him now.
"Can I ask how old you are, by the way?" he inquired.
In addition, I was pressured, I don't know why, but I'm embarrassed to reveal my genuine age because I don't want to put him off in any way, and now I understand that I indeed want to impress him because I like him, and I feel like I want to conceal it to the greatest extent possible.
"23 and you are ?" I inquired of him.
"23," he said cautiously, and I was brought to a halt. Despite the fact that he was too young, the amount of money he would spend on my son was mind blowing.
"You're still quite young. Are you certain that what you're claiming og properly funding Steve's requirements for school is true? " I asked
Even though I don't consider it to be aesthetically pleasing, I strongly oppose it because it means that his parents' money will be used, which will be a particularly shady situation.
After removing the apron he was wearing earlier and approaching the holder of his coat and taking a small card out, I assumed he would give me something, perhaps a calling card. I simply let him to continue what he was doing.
When he handed it to me, I was taken aback by what I saw on the front side of the card.
"Is this real?" I inquired of him, and he simply nodded his head and looked at me.
It was written on the card that was printed that it was something like this:
"Liam Dawnson, President of Enuvus Technology"
I was taken aback by the fact that this corporation was one of the most well-organized, and that its president was referred to as a trillionaire, and he truly was.
He told me not to be surprised and that it was not a big deal, so I ended up drinking the entire glass of cocktail, but he stopped me by pulling my hand that was holding the cup and also my chair, bringing our faces so close to each other. His almond eyes were so beautiful and breathtaking that I felt as if I was being swallowed by them with such beauty.
When I think of it, that this is the moment for me to ask him a question but then he finally spoke
"Are you certain that Steve is only your nephew?" He inquired, and I forzed in response.
"It's fine to be completely honest with me because that's exactly what I want." he added, and I could feel his breath on my lips, making me want to dig in even more, but what are his motivations?
