KAYLA POV
The atmosphere became stuffy for me despite the natural and artificial ventilation available. What is Lucas, who is my proposed stepfather trying to do with me? Honestly, I still admire his aura and physical looks.
But this invitation might seem suspicious to me as it's in a non-business setting. Different unanswered questions flooded my thoughts, and I was visibly shaking.
"Are you alright," Hunter asked as I snapped back to the physical world.
"Am fine," I said, trying to brush my emotions off me.
He was hesitant for a while, trying to analyze my weak point, but I blocked any access to it. I closed my phone and sat back facing Hunter.
"So, how about my proposal for dinner tonight?" He asked with bright emotions.
"Am sorry, I won't be able to make it tonight. "How about some other night?" I requested, knowing fully well that I couldn't decline the invitation of my proposed stepfather and CEO.
"It's OK, but I am famished already," Hunter replied in a tone that I detected that he was hiding a true feeling.
"I'll be back in a jiffy", I left him, heading to the kitchen to prepare a meal.
My heart was like it was torn because of mixed feelings about the two personalities. Hunter has been my best friend despite the fact that he's trying to be romantic during this period. I've always liked his personality, but it's being divided due to the appearance of Lucas. My s****l lust with him might advance to something else.
LUCAS POV
After a whole incident with Naomi and her daughter, I felt a sense of resistance and friction between the relationships. At a glance, I realized that Kayla and her mother weren't on good terms, as her mother earlier stated. On Kayla's part, she is wild in terms of s****l drive, and she is kind of my type.
Trying to fit into this relationship will make sure one partner should be silent and that's Kayla. I decided to move out to the exterior of my mansion. I felt accomplished seeing the design and layout to my taste.
I had always envisioned it this way when I moved to New York. Trying to figure out such a relationship gave me a headache. Suddenly, a bright idea came to me as I went inside and sent an invitation to Kayla tonight. With that, I prepared for that movement.
KAYLA POV
I woke up to see the environment a bit dark. There I remembered that I had slept for so long. After serving Hunter and also eating, I felt tired and slumped to my bed. I stood up to perform some sanitary procedures in my room since it was a bit shabby. Conscious of the time, I realized that it was nearly time for my meeting with Lucas.
With that, I slipped into the bathroom and took a quick shower. I had to look presentable to Lucas since it was a non-business setting. After the necessary preparations, I left home for Value Hotels.
Value Hotels were known to be the elite hotels which an ordinary person in New York had no affiliation with. The exterior screams luxury and beauty as it was one of the best hotels in New York. On reaching the gate, I was escorted by Lucas's men inside as he was already waiting for me.
"You are 3 minutes late," Lucas said while checking his watch.
There he was, Lucas, who happened to be the man of the moment. His dress code was adorned with a silver suit matched with oxford shoes. The dress code was complimented with expensive accessories. From first glance, you'll notice that Lucas is molded out of luxury.
"Am sorry for that," I said while snapping back to reality from my fantasy world.
He took a deep stare, scanning his eyes from the crown of my head to the sole of my feet. For me, I felt a bit off and my feet were trembling. From his seat, he stood up and walked up to me.
"Let's go out," he said while signaling his team to prepare for movement. What's going on? Why is this man becoming mysterious as the day passes? Dozens of questions flooded my mind as I tried to understand this personality before me.
"Come on," he said while I noticed a jot of electricity passing through me through his voice.
I moved instantly as he moved behind me. As I came to the exterior of the hotel, his butler opened his Range Rover, signaling me to enter, which I did. He entered as well and the journey began.
During the journey, I wanted to ask about his motive, but it was as if my mouth was locked. His aura was different from what I experienced in the restroom. In the restroom, his aura was like a stepfather, but his aura currently depicts that of a powerful boss or probably a mafia boss.
While my thoughts were just breeding while admiring Lucas, the car made a sharp turn to a familiar place, D'brand. With that, I knew that the looks he gave me were accessing his dress. For me, I thought the dress code was very presentable, but I was wrong.
The butler parked in the parking lot, and he got out of the car. I followed the suite, remembering my first visit with him to D'brand.
We walked into the boutique, and I was handed over to the brand manager as usual. She walked me to the spacious room we used on our first visit. Different clothes were brought in and tried on. Lucas walked and ordered a lot of clothing, and I was just perplexed.
"Can I see you in one of these dresses?" He requested and I went in and wore it.
Coming out, he stood up, walking towards me. He leaned and whispered "you are just beautiful". I just smiled and lowered my guard and thought.
He called in the butler who helped with taking the clothes from the store to the car. I was brought back to my apartment.
"What's really going on," I asked myself.
