"This is so good how did you make all this?"The old woman asked Damien, making Cole hurriedly take a spoon of rice and put it in his mouth.He blinked more than twice... how come did he manage to make all of that in Just a few minutes? He was sure that the food was ruined beyond mending he had the same dishes which he had ruined on the table how?Cole turned around, and looked at Damien who was smirking at him he could not believe that Damien never ran off being smart, after all the trouble he went through he was not entertained."Do you see what I am talking about? It has been so long since I had something as sweet to eat in a very long time."The old woman admitted to her grandson in front of Damien making him smile."Umm... Grandma, I do not know what to say, I mean I have tasted so I have no comments but from what I have eaten it is poor compared to how you say it is."Cole, of course, did not want to praise Damien after all he did not want him to get his grandma's attention, or
"Okay, would you love to have dinner with me later tonight?"Looking at Lily, Damian asked as she was about to go away and go back to the dining table where her grandmother and Cole were seated.It has been a long time since he spent time with her, so he bent his neck to the side as she waited for her answer."You mean you want to have dinner with me? like I shouldn't eat right now?"She pouted her lips because she knew that that was one of the silliest questions one could ever ask.Demian giggled looking at her cute face; he just wanted to go right ahead and kiss her, but it was not in his power to have a public display of love.The old woman would immediately throw him out of the house if she saw them, so he had to be conscious of himself to not make any mistakes; just one mistake might prove abortive for him, so he had to keep his emotions in check."I don't really know what you want me to say right now, but I think I am going to say yes."Shyly saying those words, she smiled and r
Without wasting any time, Damien went to the room. He had something more important than talking to Cole. Damien walked into Lily's room; he was setting something; he placed some plates, a bottle of champagne, and two pieces of glassware already on a table, and the table is at the side of the wall just a few meters away from the bed. Damien smiled and placed the cutlery beside the plates. He lit the two candles on the table and moved around the room to light the rest of the candles. He can't think of any other person but Lily right now. With a bright smile brimming on his lips, he walked to the wall and switched off the lights; the candles brightened the room. "Beautiful, but not like her," Damien commented and smiled. He walked out of the room and went to Lily, who was in the sitting room. He walked over to her and held her hands. "Damien," Lily called with a smile, and he stood up holding his hands. "I have something to show you," Damien said, smiling. "What is it?" Lily asked
Lily woke up the next morning, remembering that today was going to be the biggest test of her life, which made her extremely agitated. "Lily, put yourself together. You can do this." Lily whispered to herself and stood up from the bed. She was wearing a nightgown, and her hair is a bit messy. She looked at Damien, who was still asleep. "He's so peaceful." Lily smiled; seeing him made her more confident. "You can do this," she said with much resilience in her voice. She repeated those words until she freshened up and changed into her working clothes. By that time, Damien was already awake. "Good morning," Lily said. "Morning," Damien replied, and he tilted his neck from side to side. He looked at the clock and gasped. "It's so late; why didn't you wake me up?" Damien scolded.He needs to do the chores in the house; he can't allow the old lady to wake up before him and find the house unkempt; that would be terrible. "It's just seven, honey; you need to get some rest; don't let g
Lily couldn't refuse; she was really in need of a ride, and it would be more decent, even classy, to go in his car than in a mere cab. Lily locked her car. "Thank you; I appreciate this, sir," Lily said with a smile, not a broad one but a formal one meant for a stranger. The mention of sir displeased Walter, but he simply forced another smile. "Come in," Walter urged, so the driver stepped out of the car and ushered her into the car. "Thank you," Lily said, and the driver shut the car's door and went to sit in it in the driver's seat. Lily faced Walter and smiled; he was handsome, she noticed, but it was nothing compared to Damien's handsomeness. Walter smiled back but looked away. "You are so beautiful—more beautiful than the words used to describe you," Walter said inwardly and smiled. Lily grew uncomfortable with his intense gaze on her. She decided to face him, but that didn't stop him from still gazing at her. She suddenly disliked the stare; Damien had never stared at
Grandma and Cole couldn't believe their ears, Cole had the urge to faint, it's too unreal, how he could have been insulted, humiliated or to be better said treated as good as trash and his younger sister gets the contract, he suddenly felt ashamed. "I don't believe you" the old lady said, she couldn't just trust her granddaughter's words, she believed it to be a lie. "Grandma, why would I lie?" Lily asked with a smile on her face, she walked away from the door to the old lady's table. "I got the contract, this is a thing of joy, we should be happy" Lily said smiling at them especially at Cole. He expected her to fail woefully just like he did but she's happy that his expectations were cut short. "I'm calling the mayor's office, I don't believe any word you are saying '' the old lady said stubbornly and frowned her lips. Cole took her phone and dialled the mayor's office in desperation, the call was answered and he handed it to the old lady. Lily, smiling staring at them, Grandm
Cole rushed out of the mansion and was stunned to see the man he thought to be a delivery man entering a Lexus car. Cole raised his left eyebrow in disbelief, he rushed to the man. "Excuse me, " Cole said. The man didn't enter the car but faced him instead. "Sir," the man said, still staring at him. "Erm… who are you?" Cole asked curiously. He was really curious about the man's identity and what connection he had with Lily. He practically knows everyone connected to Lily. "I'm Mr Walter's assistant" the man revealed. "Mr Walter '' Cole muttered and it dawned on him who owned the name. Cole has seen him in magazines a few times, he's a new trillionaire. "That means Mr Walter sent you right?" Cole asked and the man nodded. on positive. Cole was shocked, many questions ran through his mind. Why would he send a gift to Lily?How did she meet him?What must be the intention of this trillionaire for his sister?, does he have any interest in her?" Cole thought and that last question
"You are right, it's really beautiful, grandma has good taste, in fact she never wears anything outdated, so I think our assumption might be correct" Lily uttered, trailing her fingers on the necklace, even though it was a turtleneck gown the necklace perfectly matched the dress. Lily smiled at her reflection in the mirror, she faced up. "Kiss me" Lily muttered. "Don't be naughty, I will smear your lipstick" Damien chuckled. "Just a little" Lily mumbled and pouted her lips for a kiss. Damien kissed her a bit with his lips pouted as well. The door suddenly flung open and the old woman walked in.. "Grandma!" Lily snapped and stood up. Damien stepped aside when he saw her. "That was rude grandma" Lily couldn't help but reprimand her grandmother for her impolite interruption. "Why is it taking you forever to get ready?Do you have plans to embarrass me?" the old woman yelled. "No, but you shouldn't have barged in like that, you talk about manners and low class people but your at
