“MOMMY, we are here! This is your room and Daddy’s room too,” Zack said, as they stopped in front of a door.
It’s just 2 doors away from his room but there is a big gap in between each door.
“Would you like to come with me, honey?” She asked. And yes, she is still nervous!
“It’s okay mommy, I can go back to my room now. I’ll see you later.” The little boy said and walked away.
She sighed deeply before opening the door. She was greeted by a fresh scent, it was like a cool breeze. But no one was there.
The room is so spacious and speaks elegance. Her gaze darted at the bed. She blushed at the thought of sharing that bed with Blaire.
“Why am I thinking that?” She whispered.
As she walked inside the room, she could not sense any presence there. She tried to check the bathroom and still there was no one there. She sighed with relief. At least she does not have to deal with Blaire now.
She sat on the side of the soft and spacious bed. When she turned her head on the bedside table she saw something there that caught her attention. She has poor eyesight. That’s why she picked up the small picture frame and as she moved it closer, she could see it more clearly, and her eyes widened when she saw her own photo inside the frame!
“Oh! Gracious heaven!” She checked and studied the photo. Anyone can say that she is the woman in the photo but she knew better. She is not used to wearing revealing dresses and there is no way she will have the dress that the woman is wearing in the photo. The photo was taken in Paris, Eiffel Tower and she’s never been there! However, whenever she looks at the face of the woman in the photo, it seems that she is looking at her own reflection.
Is this really possible? Well, she heard of some people who look alike, but this is different. They could pass as twins! How could that be?
She stood and started checking the whole room. She opened another door and she discovered that it was the way to the walk-in closet. She checked the clothes there and all of a sudden she wanted to regret her decision not to take clothes from her apartment a while back. Most of the clothes there are revealing, elegant and so glamorous!
She is trying to find simple sleepwear. “Oh! There you go!” She said and sighed with relief when she saw some pairs of satin pajamas. She saw 10 sets but it seems that they were not worn yet. She immediately went to the bathroom and took a bath.
Now she has freshened up. Maybe she will have a much better thinking now. She started checking the drawers on the bedside table, hoping to find something. She’s hoping to see an identification card or something that will give her any information about Blaire’s wife.
After a few minutes, she did not find anything related to the woman in the photo, but she was stunned by another photo she saw. It was Blaire’s photo, he looked so dazzling in that photo, plus he was flashing his perfect set of white teeth in his smile.
“He could be a model for toothpaste.” She whispered.
“Yeah, you think so?”
She literally jumped upon hearing that familiar baritone voice. Her heart started pounding so fast! She immediately put the photo back in the drawer and turned around. She sighed with relief when she saw him on the phone.
Their eyes met. For a moment, she saw a glimpse of surprise in his eyes. “Okay, just update me.” He said.
He ended the call and he walked towards her, with their eyes still locked up. This man is really handsome! Like a Greek God from Mt. Olympus!
They still continued staring at each other even when Blaire was just an inch away from her. She was bewitched and she couldn't even stop staring at him!
She could not explain the feeling but when she saw him smirking, that was her queue to get back on her senses.
“Close your mouth and stop dreaming.” He said.
She blinked twice before she got what he meant. She closed her mouth immediately, and then she could feel her face heat up! By the time she looked into Blaire’s eyes again, amusement was dancing in his eyes. And then he shook his head, suddenly she saw again that signature ‘CEO formal look’ of him.
“You forgot this.” He said and handed her laptop to her.
“Oh! Thanks.” She whispered. She could hear her heart beating so loudly. So loud that she was afraid Blaire might hear it too!
Once again, Blaire stopped for a few seconds, looked at her intently, and then shook his head again.
“Also, here is your phone. Since when did you change your phone?”
“Uhmm…” She was speechless actually. She did not know how to answer his question.
“No, don’t answer that. It doesn't matter anyway,” He said, showing he did not care at all.
She sighed but the next thing he said made her heart beat fast again.
“By the way, your best friend Gwen called.”
She tries to read his facial expression but she can’t!
“And?” She asked, trying to fish out some information. How long did Gwen talk to him?
He shrugged his shoulders. “Last time I talked to your ‘friend’, I got scammed. So now, you can tell me what is the right thing to do the moment I talk again to your so-called friends?” He asked cleverly.
She shrugged her shoulders too. “I don’t know, maybe you can just enlighten me.”
If there is one thing she learned from talking to Blaire, you should not be intimidated and you have to think fast.
Blaire looked at her dangerously. “Now you are talking.” He said. “I told her that you are in the hospital and ended the call.”
She looked at him horribly. Oh! Gracious heaven! Knowing Gwen, for sure she is so worried about her now!
“What? Well, I told her that you are okay and there is nothing to worry about.” Maybe he saw the look on her face. That is why he explained.
She sighed with relief but his next statement dropped like a bomb in front of her.
“Also, I told her that I am your husband.”
She was glad that Blaire has already turned around, causing him not to see the look on her face. He told Gwen that he was her husband! Great! Now she really needs to explain this to Gwen!
She was about to switch on her phone when Blaire turned around again and said, “And, here is your wedding ring too.” He handed her the wedding ring.
Now she is getting more confused. Why on earth is he holding his wife's wedding ring? His wife should be wearing it, right?
She is still absentmindedly thinking about that when he talks again.
“And I should say, you looked better in these pajamas. You should start wearing them.” He said and left the room.
What? Did he just compliment her? She blushed.
“That was….” For a second she couldn't think of any words to describe Blaire’s compliment. “Weird?” She whispered while looking at the door absentmindedly.
