The Billionaire’s Pretty Thief

Blaze and Gina were already downstairs and saw a lot of food, she could not help but ask Blaze whether he was expecting some more guests but letting out a smile, he said,

“All this is for you both as you are my guests”.

Gina bulged her eyes as she felt appreciated, thanked him some more for his kind gesture, and retaining her silence once more, Blaze threw a glance at her and asked.

” Who are you to Crystal?”.

That question came out tough but she kept her eyes on Blaze and responded,

“I am a made at the Taylors’ Mansion”.

” Really?”, he asked in surprise and Gina nodded in acceptance. Wondering why he was surprised she further interrogated,

“Is there any problem sir, I could just eat with the maids”, Crystal giving attention to their discussion, asked whether any problem Gina saw her mistress, jumped up from the chair, and bowed her head.

Blaze had noticed that before when he saw Gina sitting by the bed taking care of Crystal. Gina told her mistress to sit down but Crystal taking her hand, told her not to regard her as her matron anymore as she was nothing again and had become like her.

Gina looking at Crystal with watery eyes, said to her that no matter the situation she will find herself in, she was always going to be her boss.

” Call me Crystal and you own that respect as well as you are the person who risked her life and job to save me”, Crystal murmured.

Blaze who had been sitting down and seeing everything that was going on, finalized in his heart that actually, Crystal was a good person, and before he could say a word, Gina had hugged her tightly saying,

“Thank you Ms. Crystal”, and Crystal smiled noticing that it was going to take her some time before they could adapt to start calling her by her name. Realizing that they had to eat up their meal, Crystal told Gina to have her seat while she pulled out her chair and sat down to wear down her meal as well.

” Was all this food prepared for us or are there other people who were going to join us soon?”, Crystal asked the same question that Gina had asked too, made Blaze let out a smile as he told her not to worry about the food because it was for them to eat up.

It was a lot of food absolutely but witnessing how they had come to his house, he had felt that they did not have anything to eat for some hours. Their eyes met and Crystal feeling wired, lowered her gaze, and with a shy tone, she spoke out saying that they should eat as she needed to have some rest.

Gina who was already used to being a servant, stood up again and inquired of Blaze what he desired to eat from the variety of dishes on the table, picked up a plate and was ready to serve when Blaze stopped him saying,

“Do not bother yourself to serve me as I have maids for that and that is why they are standing in the corner waiting for the go signal”. Blaze could understand that Gina was a maid and had been doing so for Crystal in her house, but there, he considered her a guest and she had to be treated as such.

Blaze’s big heart, made Crystal fall more for him without any control, and feeling glad, she let a smart smile on her lips and immediately closed it up again, she told him not to dwell on that.

” Since you do not want her to serve us, I am going to do it”, Crystal announced rising on her feet to do it herself when Gina made an effort to stop her.

“You can not do this when I am seated here Ms. Crystal”, she let out all stressed out turning her gaze to Blaze who was also watching Crystal as though she had lost her mind.

” You do not have to behave like I am going to die, it is just food that I wish to serve and nothing more”, she muttered. Blaze taking a look at her and dying to watch her do it with her fragile hands, asked Gina not to interfere.

Gina felt bad as she was letting her Mistress serve the food that she was going to eat. Crystal was not as bad as Blaze had bought as he kept on smiling all the way and his heart was happy.

Blaze barely had guests and backing Crystal over was a huge joy for him as he could have been wanting an opportunity to meet her again.

His maids were scared that they were going to get scolded by their boss but Blaze was rather having a good time. His food was served and he thanked her with a lovely smile that made his maids wonder where Crystal had been all these to have such a great impact on their boss.

After some minutes of struggling, she was able to attend to her and Gina.

“Thank you Ms. Crystal”, she spoke out and Crystal with a smile told her she was welcomed. Blaze, on the other hand, appreciated her kind gesture and let her know that he would love to have that kind of treatment every other day, Crystal came to blushing as she lowered her head.

Gina understanding what was going on, decided to turn on her plate as she ate her food, feeling very taste and aroma of the food. It was well prepared and the dining was as spectacular as the dishes that were on it. Crystal could not enjoy her meal as she felt Blazes stare at her the whole time, making her so uncomfortable with no means of eating properly. She just wanted to finish eating and leave the table so as not to feel the way she was feeling again.

His eyes looked through her torso as though they could tear her open with desire. Wondering whether she made a good decision coming to them instead, she dropped her spoon and held her head in a hard way feeling so much pain.

” Are you okay Crystal?”, Blaze who had noticed the behavior change, asked as he extended his hand reaching out for hers to verify that was okay.

“Yes I think I just have a headache”, she responded and Gina who was seated by her said that it might have been caused by the constant crying out. Her eyes had been swollen for days and it was normal for her headaches after such an experience.

” Crystal you need some more rest and the doctor said that you needed to have a lot of rest so as not to have another reason to collapse again”, Blaze reviewed.

“Yes he is accurate Ms. Crystal as that was what the doctor said”, Gina confirmed.

Crystal understood what they were saying to her but what she could not understand, was the reason behind their fearful attitudes as though she was a kid.

Standing at his window, Max wondered where Crystal could be and what she could be doing at that particular point in time.

” Could she be mobilizing forces to come and attack me here?”, he questioned himself feeling a cold sensation of fear run down his neck to his back as he brushed his face in concern. Knowing Crystal to be a smart girl, he was certain that she could be seeking help from someone but he knew that she had no one so the person just is a friend.

If she was not at Georgia’s house, where could she have gone then those were the questions that made his headache. Max wanted to know by all means the whereas out of his niece and he intended to find out.

They had finished eating and the dining table was cleared so Gina, let off him saying that she needed to have some rest. Standing up from the table, she asked her Mistress to call on her if she needed anything as she was just a step away.

Crystal seeing Gina as a turned and no longer a maid told her not to worry herself as she can manage. Blase and Crystal sat on the table for a while and there was a long silence that filled the room.

After some instants of muteness, Blase asked Crystal whether she wanted to catch a glimpse of something that could cheer her up, and Crystal wondering what it could be nodded in acceptance to his question.

Rising to his feet he smiled at her, extended his right hanhandand asked her to get up and follow him, she stood up and took his hand and they both walked out of the dining area leading the way upstairs to another compartment.

Reaching in front of the door and halting for some seconds as he asked whether she was ready, she said yes. Blaze was feeling happy so he pushed the door with both hands and when it got opened, Crystal was wowed by what she had seen in there.

“Wow, this is so beautiful”, she spoke out not being able to hold back her emotions and moving forward with tears in her eyes, she looked around with excitement that made her look like a little child.

It was a room with a beautiful piano and it was decorated with lovely designs of materials. Crystal was glad to see something like that and just as though Blaze knew that she was a piano player, he brought her in there. With a broad smile on her lips, she asked to whom the room belonged and he responded from behind,

“It belonged to my mom”.

“I am sorry”, she spoke out turning to face him and Blase told him not to. be worried as he had accepted the tragedy. Reaching a sofa and sitting down she asked Blaze whether he wanted to talk about it but giving her a funny look, he told her that she was the person who had fainted in front of his gate and also, she was the one who had a scarred face and not him.

Crystal had learned to be calm around Blaze she had found him easy to understand. Letting out a deep sigh and looking at her in wonder, he spoke out softly as he said,

” You did not pick up my calls nor reply to my messages, and you stood me up at the restaurant only to show up in my house in a devastating state”.
