Mr. CEO's Maid

Chapter 43-Safe zone

Evelyn's POV

Deja-vu.
Yes, definitely deja-vu.
Like the first time I saw him,I was equally astonished now as well.

"Uh-Ervin isn't here." I said after a moment of staring each other into the eye.

"I'm not here to meet Ervin." He rolled his heavenly looking green orbs at me.

"Me-then?" I asked.

How did he know I was here?

Sharon told him?

"Who else?"

"Why?" I mumbled.
He looked at me with a half crooked smile on his face.

"Because--uh--it's like if you cannot come for me then I can always come for you. " He shrugged.
I blushed.
"Since you ignored my request to live with me I decided I can do the same."

"Live with me?" My eyes widened to the shape of a tennis ball.

"Live near you.I just moved next door." He grinned.

"Ah that's why you called me-so you're my neighbour?" I blurted.

"Yes-evidently." He bobbed his head.

How? Why? My brain started talking on its own and I seemed to be lost inside it.

"How can I forget your favourite thing?" He gently tapped my forehead.

"What?"

"Zoning off." He said as he entered inside,removing my hand from the door frame.

Wait,I haven't let him in.

"He turned this bachelor pad into a beautiful niche." He said to himself and turned around.

"Aren't you happy to have me?"

"No,I mean yes,I'm happy." I nodded.
R.I.P my mouth.

"Then,why this face?"His fingers touched the corner of my lips and pushed it slightly upward.

"Much better,keep smiling." He winked.
My heart.
Ouch...

I quickly retreated few paces from him and said,"What about your penthouse?"

"It's there." He said as he laid aside his blazer and loosened his tie.
Why so hot?

"Why are you here then?" I asked.

"I told you Sunshine,I moved next door."

"I mean you have your penthouse.Why--"

"Can I not have both places?" He unbuttoned the cufflinks of his shirt and said.

"I guess you can.So why are you here?" I crossed my arms.

"I just--"

"I meant here, at my place."I clarified.

"That's very rude of you Sunshine, Nevermind I'm here to invite you for a dinner." He charmingly replied.

"I already had my dinner." I nervously sm iled and lied.
My heart was jumping just by the sight of him and his body.

As much as I wanted to have a dinner with him,I couldn't.
What if Ervin showed up?What am I gonna say to my brother?
And what am I gonna say to Adam if Ervin showed up?

"But...there is still..." He pointed toward the pan nearby the kitchen counter.

Shit.
"Leftovers?" He asked.

"Oh right, leftovers...yepp."

"Oh okay, we can always grab a drink? What's say?" He further asked,smiling.
