His

Chapter 9

I was under soft grey comforter on a large bed. The room was spacious decorated with antiques and expensive furniture. The golden walls and wooden flooring complemented the wooden furniture.

I quickly bounced up to get off the bed when I realized a figure sleeping on the other end. I shrieked in surprise when I saw Mr. Vincent beside me.

Why was I in his room?

The last thing I remembered was falling in his car. But after that everything was blank.

How..... How did I get in his room? I stumbled over my words. He turns around and slowly open his eyes. I shifted uncomfortably and asked "how did I get here?"

Mr. Vincent sheepishly asked in his hoarse voice

"don't you remember? " his eyes now wide open, staring mine and a lite smirk on his lips.

" no" I shook my head

There was an awkward pause before he continued .

"you fell asleep in my car last night and never woke until I carried you to the bed," he said with a wink
I felt my cheeks heat at his comment. But my intentions were not of those he mentioned

"excuse me" my voice full of confusion as I stood on my feet dizziness still present when I heard him speak from behind

"had a good sleep with me?" He chuckled

My eyes widened in surprise at his question. I rubbed my forehead trying to ease the horrendous headache. But it didn't work I close my eyes and then suddenly clipped images of last night crashed behind my close lids. I turned around and saw him standing in front of me his eyes trying to figure out my thoughts and I guess he caught my uneasiness. My heart stuttered with anxiousness and my stomach twisted with tension. I knew what he would ask and I didn't have the answers to his prying questions. Well, I had the answers, but they weren't answers that Mr. Vincent would want.

Oh my god

My eyes snapped open, and I stared at Mr. Vincent in shock. He raised an eyebrow in amusement and shook his head " Ah so you remember now."
How could I let something like that happen?

Embarrassment and shame filled me as I tore my eyes away from Mr. Vincent's penetrating gaze. My throat went dry and my body grew cold.

Silence filled the room. None of us uttered a word.

He took my hand in his rough and large ones and looked at me with concern before the words escaped from his lips
"Anna you need not worry about anything I am always there to listen you if you will share your worries."

I stiffened at his words before swiveling around, although I couldn't think of anything as I was staring at him with no words to speak.

I kept my head down and refusing to look at his questioning gaze. "thank you" I said after pulling my hands away and walk outside the room before the atmosphere turned more awkward.
I went inside my room and I sat on the bed. My eyes widened when the rest of the memory came crashing back. Mr. Vincent have let me go. He helps me in everything. He gave shoulder to cry.

Then my phone started to ring at it was from an unknown number. I received the call "hello?"

" hello Anna this is Chloe how are you feeling now?" How did she get my number? i was confused.

"I am fine Chloe but how did you get my number? ,"I ask her

" Drake gave it to me. And you know what he was worried about you ,". "CHLOE please ,"I heard his voice from behind. I giggled.

" What? you where the one who asked me to call her ,"she said

" Anna listen we have a meeting in a few hours. But.. If you feel you need rest as you're not fully recovered I can totally understand, you can stay here. ,"
" hmm" I sighed and thought that it's only going to make me feel more lazy and unwell if I continued to take rest all the time. Therefore, I attended somehow

"I guess I can come with you." I said and when she didn't reply
"I will attend the meeting" I said a bit confidently.

After a few seconds she replied
"fine, I will see you then in two hours,".

Then I ended the call. I took a warm bath and got ready for the meeting. Then there was a knock on the door. I opened it and it was the room service. He was having a food tray in his hand.

I gave him a questioning look. "Sorry but I didn't order anything" I was about to close the door then he said "Mr. Drake Vincent have sent you this".

Why would he send me this, I opened the door and let him enter? He kept the food on the side table and went out.

I went near the food and the food smelled fantastic. Then my phone started to ring it was from Mr. Vincent. I received the call. "hello". "Ms. Peige did the food arrive? " he asked.
"yes but... "he cut me off before I could tell him anything.

" finish your food and meet me in my room " with that he ended the call. I just stared at my phone for a minute.

I sat on the chair. I looked the delicious food . After I finished my food. I went out the room and went to Mr. Vincents room.

I knocked on the door. The door open but it wasn't Mr. Vincent it was Chloe. I smiled at her and we went inside the room.
When I went inside, I saw Mr. Vincent and Shawn were sitting on the couch and discussing something on the laptop. As soon as his eyes meet. He stood up and said "she is here lets go".

With that we left his room and went for the meeting.

We arrived. As we got down the car, it was a huge building. We four enter the building. A receptionist came near us and guided us to a room.

As we entered the room. It was a large room. We four took our seats. About 5 minutes 3 men with suits entered the room. We all greeted them. Then the meeting was started.

The meeting continued for 2 hours. And now they gave a break for 15 minutes. I wanted to go to the washroom. So I excused myself and left the room. I dint know which direction to go in. I went to the receptionist and asked her which direction should I go in? I thanked her and went according to the directions she had given me.

As I was going back to the conference room. I felt HIM walked pass me.

I FROZE.
