章節 30: Delivery

I was watching a movie and eating vanilla coated potato chips when the doorbell rang. I checked for the time.

[7:00 pm]

I went for the door and pressed the intercom button, and the concierge lady's face appeared on the screen.

"Miss Lee, White Heaven restaurant is here to deliver your food."

I tilted my head to the side and stared at the pretty lady on the monitor, prying if she was joking with me. "White Heaven? I didn't order anything."

She smiled. "It's from Mr. Cain Fay." Adoration crossed her face, and envy coated her voice as she mentioned the name.

Cain Fay? Why would he deliver me food?

I opened the door and was greeted by a couple of people with white aprons and logo of White Heaven restaurant. I was about to reject them when they shoved the carts of food inside my unit without my consent, leaving me at a loss for words.

After they set the food on my dining table, they all bowed. "Enjoy your meal." After that, like soldiers, marched out as fast as they came.

The concierge lady beamed at me before closing the door as she left.

For a time, I looked at the food with a vacant expression. It was a complete set, from appetizer down to dessert. The main course even had a bowl of rice.

The aroma was heavenly, and my stomach grumbled as I wiped the drool from my lips. But I was jolted awake from my heavenly state with a ring of my phone.

I checked the caller, but the number was unfamiliar. Thinking it was probably Zhane again, I answered.

"Hello?"

A deep, somewhat husky voice resounded. "Did you like the food––"

Beep

Without thinking, I ended the call and stared hard at my phone.

I must be hearing things, why is Cain Fay calling me?

After seconds, the phone rang again. Seeing it was from the same number, I swallowed and held my breath. I pressed the answer button, and a deep melodious voice echoed. Reminding me of a sound of a mournful flute in a moonless night.

"Did you just . . . hang up on me?" Cain chuckled.

"N-no . . . No. T-the . . . the signal is bad," I stuttered.

How can this man's voice be so damn sexy?

". . ."

". . ."

"Did you like the food?" he asked, voice cutting the silence.

". . . I . . . I was about to eat when you called. T-thank you . . . f-for the food."

". . . My pleasure . . ."

It was almost a whisper. Like his voice was caressing me. My spine twinge, and unknowingly, I flinched. I tightened my hold on the phone, afraid I might drop it at any moment.

There was silence again. For a time, we only heard the slow breathing of each other. I could almost feel his breath like he was just inches away from me.

My body flared.

Sensing I wasn't about to speak anytime soon, he said, "The contract is finished. I e-mailed it to you. You can review it, and tomorrow at eight in the morning, I'll pick you up. We can discuss the contract over breakfast."

"Wha––" I wanted to protest, but he interjected.

"I won't hold you. Enjoy your dinner. Goodnight."

"Wait! I don't want to––"

Tut . . . Tut . . .

I was going to reject his offer, but the line was already cut.

I stared at my phone, contemplating whether to call him back.

It's just a contract signing, and Zhane will be there. Besides, he bought you food.

I didn't give it much thought that he bought me food from a five-star Michelin restaurant, or what he did to convince the said restaurant to deliver the food here. It was really hard to make reservations at that place, much less order a full course take out.

Thinking it was some sort of payment for agreeing to be his consultant, I shrugged the matter off my head.

I saved his number.

[TheArcticEmperor]

I downloaded the contract, planning of reading it later. I was not even surprised that he knew my private e-mail and number. And I also wouldn't be surprised if he already knew where I live.

I really have to extort Zhane when I see him next time!

I called the reception, informing them that I would expect Cain Fay tomorrow. I have to notify them if I was expecting someone. If I don't, I'm afraid that Cain Fay wouldn't be able to step foot even in the lobby. The security of this place was over the top –– one of the reasons why I love it.

Come to think of it, how did the White Heaven restaurant come here without my approval?

After the receptionist acknowledged, I hopped in the dining table and gulped all the meals, dismissing any lingering questions in my mind.

章節 31: Flower

It was six in the morning, and I was still contemplating on what to wear. I tried different sets of clothes, but none matched the look I wanted to achieve.

I wanted to be presentable, but not let the other party know that I was preparing to dress for him.

No! No! No! Not right! Why do I have to care what he thinks? I just have to dress like I'm meeting any other person.

When I grabbed for a shirt, I lamented on how unattractive it was. I grabbed a dress showing my curves and was pleased. But I remember that it was just a simple signing over breakfast.

I screamed and pulled my hairs in frustration.

This is not the time to be bipolar! Just pick a damn dress already!

I closed my eyes and calmed myself.

"You look good in anything you wear . . ."

A distant voice echoed in my head, and I want to burn everything on sight. Thanks to that disgusting memory, my brain took over, and I grabbed a simple lime-colored peasant top paired with ivory-colored skinny trousers and tan-colored wedge shoes. I put on multiple strands bracelets and dangled earrings and puffed myself with light make-up.

Satisfied, I reached for my Dolce and Gabbana patterned box bag and was about to turn the handle of my bedroom door when the doorbell rang.

I went into the foyer and checked the time.

[7:20 AM]

Isn't he a little early?

I was about to press the intercom when I discarded the idea and peeped on the spyhole instead.

Standing outside was Cain, wearing a simple fitted iron colored V-neck ¾ sleeve sweater, highlighting his collarbone, broad chest and thin waist. Coupled with cloud-colored trousers and a pair of coin colored oxford shoes. He only had one piece of jewelry, a Jaeger LeCoultre watch.

The man was not just sexy, he was a walking aphrodisiac!

I want to open the door and rip off his clothes and ra––!

! ! !

I panicked at my line of thoughts and made a sprint in my living area. It was only when the doorbell rang again that I took a deep breath and composed myself. After making sure that I wouldn't harass him, I opened the door.

"Er . . . H-hello, you're early." I almost grabbed my bag and slammed it on my head.

With a serious face, Cain said without batting an eyelid, "I can't wait to see you, so I came early."

". . ."

Should I slam the door and pretend this never happened?

Cain seemed to have read my thoughts as he stepped forward. Sensing danger, I unknowingly trotted back. He stopped in line with the door frame and extended his hand, holding a large white rose.

"For you," he said.

The gentleness in his voice against his emotionless face made me want to laugh and cry at the same time.

". . ." Staring at the rose in his hand, I didn't accept it. My mouth opened, and closed didn't know what to say. First of all, I didn't know how to address him, so I wait for him to say something instead.

". . . Don't you like it?"

Cain's voice was soft and tender. Hearing it made my heart twitched, and without thinking, I blurted out.

"N-no! No! I mean, yes! Yes! Wait . . . ! What?"

Cain laughed a little. "The flower, don't you like it?"

"I . . ."

I look at the rose, then slid my eyes to his handsome ice-cold face. The frostiness in his aquamarine eyes was hypnotizing me.

". . . love it," I whispered.

Cain's lips curved upward. His warm smile melted his icy countenance.

"Then, I'll give you a flower every day."
