Chapter 57
Waylen walk into his apartment and sat down on the couch tired.
He had just gone to the warehouse to check on his goods and he’s so tired since there’s much to handle and his soldiers were on leave.
It’s already night when he got back home and everywhere was quiet that he thought everyone was asleep not until he heard footsteps coming from the stairs.
Waylen looked up at the stair and saw Emma coming down wearing a black short gown.
And oh yeah! He have actually forgotten he now have someone in his house and he should be expecting to meet her whenever he’s back.
He’s not used to living with someone expect his guards and just few maids who are always at their quarters.
So, it’d be kind of time adjoining the fact that there’s a new lady in his house, living in with him.
Emma flashed him a smile and he felt his heart skip a beat. He don’t actually remember what this feeling is all about but he loves it.
“You’re still awake?” Waylen asked her as he checks the time with his phone.
Emma nodded and went to sit next to him. “I was waiting for you. Do you always come back this late?”
Waylen shake his head negatively. “I just had alot of work to handle”.
“I thought you’ve people who works for you?” Emma asked him surprised.
She had taken her time to look around the house when she was done eating. It was so big that she got lost twice but all thanks to the maids.
But she doesn’t understand why Waylen still have to go to work when living in such a big mansion.
She’d be sitting down all day and doing nothing if she’s the owner of this house, but that’s just a dream that won’t come true.
Maybe not yet.
She have to work to pay off the little debt she’s owning her saviour and she always have to save to return back to Anapa.
Emma was glad that Waylen was nice to her as to accept her to live in his house, she can’t imagine how she would’ve been roaming around the streets with no location in mind.
She’s so mad at her Boss, everything was his fault.
He could’ve given her all the informations she needed to know about the man she’s to work with, and he’s supposed to come pick her up right at the airport.
Or maybe she was the one that failed to ask about all these.
“There are jobs that you’ve to handle yourself. Besides, I don’t do that kind of work you think I do… Far from that.”
“Then what do you do?” She giggled.
“You don’t wanna know” Waylen simply replied.
Emma rolled her eyes at him and stood up, Waylen smiled… It’s just been a day that she moved in but he can’t help being extra nice to her.
Emma walked over to the kitchen and return minutes late with a glass and a bottle of wine.
She dropped the glass on the table in front of Waylen and then open the bottle of wine before going ahead to pour it into the glass.
She close back the wine and handed the glass to Waylen who thanked her as he collect it.
Emma walk back to her sit.
“Are you always this nice to people? I’m trying to read your character but it’s seems hard…” Emma pouts.
Waylen look at her and smirk.. “What are you? A seer who can read people’s character?”
“Not that… Anyways, why you chose not to tell me anything about you? I can’t be staying here and don’t even know the name of my soon to be Boss” Emma told him.
“You haven’t figured that out yet?” He asked her and she nodded.
“The maids won’t even say a word to me when I asked them, I felt hurt”.
“Ofcourse they dare not. They’ve to obey the master”.
“Is there anything about you you don’t want me to know? Are you a bad guy or something…? Yunno, a criminal, a street thug, a killer.. and you’re afraid I won’t stay if you tell me your name?” Emma asked him folding her hand beneath her breast.
Waylen smiled and drink up the remaining wine in his glass.
He dropped the glass back on the table before he look at Emma again who was looking at him suspiciously.
“Far from that… I’m tired, you should go to bed now, I hope you like your room? That’s the least I can do.”
Emma sigh and draw the glass to her side then pour herself the wine and take a shot.
“It’s not like you did it.. The maid did. Anyways, I like it and I want to thank you for accommodating me.”
Waylen stood up and walk closer to Emma, standing in front of her with his hand above her and on the couch which prevents Emma from standing up or walking away.
Emma looked at him and swallowed…
“You wanna thank me ? Is that how you want to talk someone that helped you?” He whispered.
Emma looked at him in the eyes and she felt her cheeks went red. It can’t be what she’s thinking, he’s not a bad guy.
She just don’t understand why she just agreed to live with him without even thinking if it’s safe.
He had refused to say his name or give out informations about himself, that makes him weird and suspicious, so how and why did she agree and why did everything happened so fast that she could barely remember how they meet?.
“What do you want?” She swallowed and try not to make him notice she’s afraid.
Waylen looked at her and when he realizes she’s uncomfortable, he back away from her. He looked away and put his hand in his pocket backing her.
“How’s your hand? Does it still hurt..?” He suddenly asked.
Emma looked at her one bandaged arm and then back at Waylen’s back figure.
“No it doesn’t” she replied and Waylen just nodded.
Emma sighed and stood up from the couch, she walk Infront of Waylen and stood.
“When will you tell me your name? I’ll feel uncomfortable if you don’t, I don’t think it’s safe for me to live here with you if I don’t know who you are”.
Waylen turned sharply at her then slowly he sighed.
“I’m sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable” he apologized immediately and he’s surprised to actually hear himself apologize.
How long have it been already?.
“Are you gonna hurt me?” Emma said in a whisper and Waylen smiles.
“No, I’ll tell you my name soon , I promise” he said.
Chloe smile then nodded. “Goodnight then Mr.”
Waylen stood there and watch her climb up the stair he sigh and went to sit back down. He needs more drinks to calm himself down.
