Ch-19 Neighbours..
6:00 a.m.
Inside Phoenix Condo's Gym..
Edith was doing pull ups with her headphones on, her all three dogs were at the Animal care where many people leave their pets if they don't want to leave them alone at their penthouse, this was the main reason she bought the penthouse in Phoenix Condo. After the walk with Coco, Alfie and Oscar, Edith left them at the Animal care and decided to do some exercise as she has to prepare herself to maintain her whole penthouse.
*ring**ring*
She stopped in the middle and stood straight on the ground and looked at her phone and saw ' Caleb' calling her, she picked it up and said," Good Morning Caleb,".
Caleb replied from the other side," Good morning boss, where are you boss? I came to pick you up but Aunt Suzie told me that you left yesterday night for the penthouse,".
Edith replied," Yeah, I'm at Phoenix Condo, we are not leaving now, I changed my mind, I will take 1 week rest rather than going out, I will set all the things myself just come and help me I can't possibly move those boxes alone,".
Caleb's apologetic voice came from the other side," Uhm Boss I can't actually Mom want me there for some work, I came at the villa to drop you and tell you this, can I take a leave for 3 days?, I'll send someone from the base or I'll tell Leo to come and help,".
Edith frowned and said," No need to ask help from Leo, I'll manage by myself, go and enjoy, I'll call Uncle Stefan and ask for someone who can help me, bye have a good day Caleb,". Before Caleb could reply Edith terminated the call.
She looked around and saw some men staring at her and her body, she smiled sweetly and asked," Like What you see?,". And then saw them turning around without replying to her, she scoffed and walked out from the gym, she directly walked towards the Animal care and picked her dogs and walked towards her building and rode the elevator and press the button for 37th floor, as soon as the elevator reached her floor she came out from it and saw a man outside the condo no. 706 standing with a husky which looks exactly like Ace.
She frowned and looked at the man keenly but soon her attention diverted when the husky looked at her and ran towards her, she looked down at the husky and rubbed his head as he was looking at her, she said in a confused tone," Hey buddy, what a coincidence you look just like..,".
" Dr. Wood?,'' her words were interrupted by a male voice, she frowned when she heard that voice and looked at the man who was staring at her, and her eyes widened in surprise.
" Mr. Smith? What are you doing here? Ahh! Sorry, Good Morning," she said in a embarrassed tone, she was so confused that why the hell this man was here and in that sweet sexy look which can kill her poor heart, it's not like she has a crush on him, but this man was actually looking so sexy in that gym suit, while his hair were wet and messy because of sweat.
Ethan looked at her and said," Uhm Good Morning, I should be the one asking this, but still I live here at 706 Dr. Wood, and what about you? What are you doing here?,".
Edith's eyes widened in shock when she heard this, she thought," Ahh! What the hell? He is my neighbour? What the fuck is happing, Caleb I'll kill you, why the hell you bought the penthouse right next to him, In the whole fucking london you got this penthouse only,". She calmed herself down and said with a fake smile," Ohh what a coincidence then, I bought condo 707 a few weeks ago, basically I also live here,".
Ethan looked at her in surprise and said," Oh get it, but you can remove that fake smile, it doesn't suit you,".
Edith's smile dropped instantly and said," That was rude,".
Ethan chuckled and said," I just said the truth, it was obvious after what happened yesterday you would not like my presence,".
Edith said with a frown," No no it's not like that Mr. Smith, It's just that I'm a little exhausted, I didn't expect that yesterday, and all of a sudden I have to come here and my penthouse is still a huge mess, It's just a lot going on,".
Ethan smiled and said," I can see that," after that he looked at the huge boxes, Edith nodded helplessly and he said again while turning around and opening the door," So Coffee?,"
Edith said in confusion," Huh?,"
Ethan looked at her and said," Dr. Wood would you like to have a coffee? I can see you are still not settled properly, actually I want to talk about something, and Maria and Louis will be very happy if they see you, they both were just talking about you when we were driving here yesterday,".
Edith's eyes brightened when she heard this and asked," They both are here?,".
Ethan nodded and she said," Sure, why not, I would love to have a whole breakfast with them as my kitchen is not settled, only if you don't mind, I can cook if you want". After that she looked at him with a genuine smile on her face.
Ethan was surprised by the sudden change in her demeanor, he smiled and said while walking inside the penthouse," No problem, Come in,".
Edith walked towards the door but stopped and looked at all the three dogs and then at Ethan, Ethan understood her looks and said," I have enough space for all off you, Ace will also get some company,".
Edith smiled and said,'' Thanks," after that she walked inside his condo with all the dogs coming behind her.
Edith looked around as she walked forward and she said with an impressed expression," Woah! What a beauty, Mr. Smith you have a beautiful condo, you really like black huh?," after that she turned around to look at him, but just as she turned she bumped into a hard chest.
"Ahh!"
Edith rubbed her nose, looked up and saw Ethan standing very close to her, she abruptly took 2 steps back and said," You scared me,".
Ethan shook his head when he saw Edith's nose turned red after she bumped into him and said," I'm sorry, by the way take a seat, I'll wake the kids up,".
" Edie"
" Pretty Ed"
Just as he said that two sleepy yet shocked voices came and both the people looked at the source of voice, Ethan and Edith smiled when they saw Maria and Louis standing near the stairs staring at Edith with wide eyes.
Ethan walked towards them but he got ignored as both kids didn't even look at him and ran towards Edith who was smiling brightly when she saw them running towards her. Ethan's mouth twitched when he saw this and mumbled," Here they go again,".
Both the kids hugged Edith tightly by neck making her lose her balance and choking her immediately. Edith held them for balance and coughed loudly and said hurriedly," Guys easy,".
Both the kids left her as soon as they heard her and said in unison," Sorry,". Edith looked at them and smiled but didn't say anything.
Ethan shook his head and walked towards them and gave Edith a glass of water then said to Maria and Louis," Be careful you would have killed her by choking her,".
Maria and Louis looked at each other in shock and said," What?,".
Edith chuckled when she saw their reaction and said," He is just joking kids, Relax" after that she glared at Ethan and said," Right Mr. Smith?,".
Ethan scoffed at her and said," Yeah,". After that he looked at the kids and said," Did you two brush?,".
Maria and Louis shook their heads and said," No,".
Ethan signed and said," Come with me, I'll help you guys today Ms. Vanessa will be here soon,".
Maria and Louis looked at each other and then at Edith, Maria held Edith's hand and said," No, We will brush up later, I want to be with Pretty Ed,".
Louis also looked at Ethan with a pleading gaze and said," Please Dad, What if Edie leaves when we came back after brushing up,".
Ethan frowned and said," No, you can't possibly eat your breakfast without brushing your teeth and Dr.Wood is not leaving yet she is here for breakfast, and you can see her everyday,".
Maria looked at Ethan in confusion and said," Huh? How?," after that her eyes widened and she asked," Pretty Ed, did you agree to be our mother?,".
Edith's eyes widened and then she looked at Ethan in confusion who was already speechless by Maria's words, she smiled awkwardly and said," Uhm! No baby, actually I got shifted next door that's why I'm here to meet you guys,".
Louis and Maria looked at each other in surprise and said in unison," Next Door,". Edith nodded and Louis smiled brightly and said," That means we can play with you everyday?,".
Edith thought about it and was about to say something when she heard Ethan's voice saying," That's not possible kids because Dr. Wood has to work in her hospital and you guys have to attend school daily and don't forget you guys rarely live here, but you can play with her when you stay here but only when she is free and you both will not disturb her when she is busy,".
Edith looked at him with a confused face and asked," They don't live here with you?,".
Ethan looked at her and said,'' They usually live at Smiths Villa as I got really busy with work that I don't even leave the office for days,".
Edith's eyes widened in shock and said," Woah, but that's not healthy Mr. Smith,". After that she looked at Maria and Louis and said," We can play when you guys will be here okay, now go and brush,".
Ethan didn't reply at her words and said," Come with me," after that he walked towards the stairs and said to Edith," I'll help them and then we can talk,".
Edith stood up from the sofa and said," No problem, by the way I will come after changing, I'm really smelling bad because of sweat,".
Ethan looked at her and said," Okay,". After that he walked towards the kids room with Maria and Louis walking behind him.
