Chapter 42: Are you sure she's the one?

Sean went into the apartment and found Drew in an apron while preparing something in the kitchen.

He stood behind him silently. He suddenly smiled and thought about Andrea and how lovely it would be to have her cook a special meal just for him.

Just then, Drew turned around and almost dropped the cutlery from his hand.

Oh, boss, you should have told me that you were here earlier. I was startled, Drew laughed.

Sean's smile faded away. He glanced at him indifferently; he didn't want to see anyone aside from Andrea in his kitchen.

Once you are done having your breakfast, I want you to get me some stuff at the store," Sean said as he plopped himself down on the couch.

Here, boss, I made breakfast for you. Drew placed the dish on the table.

Sean waved his hand in dismissal. You can have it. I already had my breakfast."

Boss, what do you want me to get for you at the store? Drew asked as he resumed eating.

I want you to get me books about babies and nursing mothers," Sean said unceremoniously.

Drew spat out a mouthful of water and said, I'm so sorry, boss. I didn't get what you said earlier."

I won't repeat myself, Drew; I see what you are trying to do. You heard me just right," Sean said as he stood up and headed upstairs.

What's wrong with my boss? Why is he so interested in this? Is Ms. Carmen perhaps pregnant? Drew thought as he stuffed his mouth with his food.

After breakfast, Drew drove himself straight to a store and purchased tons of books about babies and nursing mothers, like Sean had instructed him.

On his way out, he received a call from Carmen; he couldn't afford to offend her after all; she is his boss fiancee.

He picked up the call instantly: Hey, Ms. Carmen. How may I help you?

Is Sean over there with you?

No, I went out to get a couple of things in the store. Is there any problem?

Actually, not really, Drew. Do you perhaps know if Sean has been seeing some other lady? You can tell I promise I won't tell him anything about our conversation."

Drew thought for a while before replying, Definitely not. You know how my boss is; he's always busy with work, and he doesn't even have time for anything else."

So if I am correct, you are trying to say Sean came to Australia only for work? Carmen asked with a hint of doubt.

Drew scoffed Of course, what else will he be busy with if not work? I need to go now," he said, hanging up.

Even though Drew is aware of the chemistry between Sean and Andrea, he dared not tell Carmen anything. Sean had warned him severely not to discuss anything regarding his business or personal life with anyone.

………

Carmen threw her phone on the bed roughly. " Lies! He must have asked Drew to also tell lies now," she said angrily.

Mrs. Wallner came into the room with a charming smile. Carmen, I have good news."

Have you found the bitch who has been seducing my Sean? she asked in an icy tone.

Mrs. Warner's smile slowly faded. Can't you even pretend to be surprised? '' she said, rolling her eyes at her daughter.

Anyways, here are the details of the lady and a photo of her."

Elena Thompson, 24 years old, a nurse at Greenhill Hospital, Carmen read out loud; she couldn't help but snort as she threw the paper on the ground.

Are you sure she's the one? Is she even fit to be Sean's maid? I feel like something isn't right. How can Sean possibly be into a low-class woman? She let out a mirthless laugh.

Hand me her photo; let's see that slutty face of hers that Sean loves looking at. She stretched her hand out, and Mrs. Wallner passed a brown envelope to her.

She tore it open and brought out photos of Elena. The lady had waist-length black hair with a touch of caramel color. She also noticed the lady is tall, has fair skin, and is stunning.

Not bad," Carmen couldn't help but mutter.

Come on, Carmen, you are way prettier than her, Mrs. Wallner said.

Carmen chuckled Of course I know that, Mom. Elena Thompson, a nurse at Greenhill Hospital," she kept chanting as her eyes twinkled in anticipation.

********

Sean was reading a book in his study when Drew barged in with a stack of books.

Here are the books. He dropped them on the desk and was about to leave, but Sean stopped him.

Why didn't you tell me that Andrea has a younger brother when I asked you to find out about the Grahams?"  he demanded.

Drew tittered, I didn't know the Grahams had a son. I have never heard anything about him; that's the reason why I didn't inform you about it, Boss."

Now that you know, I want you to find out more about him and get back to me immediately if you do," Sean said casually as he checked out the books Drew purchased.

Drew felt like crying; he had been going for errands since dawn, and without the audacity to complain, he left the apartment immediately.

At the Condominium

Andrea came out of the bathroom and went into the kitchen to check if Tessa was done making dinner.

Mom Tessa, it smells really good," Andrea said sweetly.

Right, I made too many, and I'm afraid they will go to waste. I want you to give this to Mr. Wilson. "

But Mom Tessa is quite late right now," Andrea sighs silently.

What do you mean? Mr. Wilson has been nice and helpful to you; don't you think you should also return the favor?"

Mom Tessa, you are right," she smiled as she picked up the flask from the kitchen counter.

She stood outside Sean's apartment for a while; she inhaled and exhaled multiple times before ringing the doorbell. Shortly, the door burst open, revealing Sean, who had a stupefied look on his face.

Come in," he said, making a way for her to go in.

Andrea squeezed a polite smile as Sean ushered her into his living room. She was welcomed by a cozy, plush-looking living room with a sophisticated interior design.

Your place looks really lovely," she said genuinely.

I can give it to you if you want," Sean said nonchalantly, and Andrea burst into laughter.

That was a good joke, Mr. Wilson," she said, giving him a gummy smile.

I meant it," he muttered under his breath, but he was quite glad he could lift her mood.

Actually, we made way too much food for dinner tonight, so I decided to stop by and give this to you. She dropped the flask on the table and was about to leave.

Sean panicked and quickly stopped her from leaving. Why don't we have dinner together?"

Andrea smiled bashfully. Maybe some other time. I left the babies alone, and I need to get back now."

She turned around to leave, and Sean found himself going closer to her like she was some sort of magnet.

Sean held her arm, making her turn to him. He remained silent as he stared deeply into her emerald eyes.

Goodnight," she beamed sweetly.

Sean stared at her face, and the next thing he knew, he cupped her cheeks and claimed her lips, catching her completely off guard.

Her cold, moist lips on his felt so addictive, and all he wanted was the whole of her. He dug his fingers into her waist, trying to gain more access to her mouth.

Andrea flinched slightly after regaining her senses. She moaned, trying to break the kiss. This time around, Sean respected her feelings and let go of her.

We shouldn't be doing this, Mr. Wilson," she muttered codily, and for the first time ever, he couldn't read her emotions.

Without waiting for him to say anything, she made her way out of the house, and while rushing out, she mistakenly knocked down a picture frame of Sean. She picked it up and was about to place it back on the table when her eyes suddenly caught sight of something that looked familiar.

" Huh? This watch," she stuttered in shock.
