C5 At his mansion

Andrian's POV

I don't know why I employed that girl. For all I know, she might not even be qualified but something just kept drawing me to her.

When I saw her walking sullenly, I felt like helping her was the only right thing to do at that moment.

I sent one of my guards to ask her to come over to my house by 6pm so that we can discuss about her new job.

At least, I need to know her qualifications and some important things.

"Get me Kyle now" I said to my secretary as soon as I got to my office

"I'm right here sir" Kyle said the moment he got in.

"I have a new PA now so you can dismiss the applicants"

"But sir..... " he was trying to say but I cut him off

"No buts. I've made my decision and that's final"

"Alright sir" and with that, he left.

I myself don't even know what I'm doing but I just hope I didn't make a wrong decision by employing that girl.

Zoey's POV

Just when I thought things were finally going to work out between us, this had to happen.

Ahh... I'm definitely going to get rid of that Avery sooner or later.

Who wouldn't want to marry Andrian? He's handsome and really rich.

If I get married to him, my future will be totally secured. I wouldn't have to worry about anything. I think I will be needing my friend now.

She's definitely going to be upset that I didn't call her since I came back.

"Hello girlfriend" I said immediately she answered the call

"Zoey!!!......" she screamed so loud that I had to move the phone away for a while

"I've really missed you Zoey. Are you back? I notice you're not using a foreign number"

"Yeah.... I came back two days ago"

"Really? And you didn't see the need to inform me? I tried your foreign number severally but it wasn't going through"

"I'm sorry, I've been really busy since I returned"

"Hmmph! Busy with what exactly?" she said like she didn't believe me one bit

"Fine... I'm sorry okay?"

"Okay... So are you at home now?"

"Yes"

"Alright, I'm coming over"

"Okay. I will be expecting you"

Phew! That was easier than I imagined. I know Leah will be able to suggest something once she arrives.

*Thirty minutes later*

"Wow! Leah, did you fly here or how come?"

"I don't live in that place anymore. I bought a new mansion here in your street so that it will be easier for me to come over to your house"

"Wow! That's so thoughtful of you. I missed you" I said and hugged her

"Let's go in" she said while I lead the way

"So what would you like to take?" I asked after we sat down

"I know the way to the kitchen if I need anything because this is also my house"

"Ohh.... Pardon my manners, I almost forgot"

"Have you seen Andrian ever since you came?" she asked curiously

"Yeah...."

"Are you still crushing on him?"

"I don't know about that but I know I want to get married him"

"Are you serious?"

"Of course. My future with Andrian is safe and secure"

"I've heard you, madam safe and secure"

"Andrian told me his sister asked him to promise her I will never step my foot into his mansion again and he promised her. I really don't know what to do"

"Why did she say that?"

"I don't know. She just hates me for no reason, I'm sure she's trying to separate me from Andrian. That brat!"

"Calm down Zoey, there's got to be a way out. Don't weigh yourself down with irrelevant things, okay?"

"Alright."

"Let's go out for a while to clear your head" she suggested

"Okay. I will just change my clothes"

This is why she's my best friend. She knows exactly what to do and when yo do it.

Skylar's POV

5:30 pm

I'm so confused on what to wear right now. I mean, he asked me to come over to his house but I don't know what he wants.

From the rumors I heard about him, he isn't into ladies so I don't think he will do something nasty to me.

After going through almost all the clothes I had, I finally settled for a trouser and shirt. I think this is okay.

"Ella, I'm off to a colleagues place and I won't take too long. Make sure you don't open the door for strangers, okay?"

"Okay sis. Come back soon and safe"

I left the house and boarded a cab to the address written on the paper.

Few minutes later, I was at the gate.

Wow! The house is really huge and beautiful. Does he live alone in this big house?

Nah, I don't think so. He probably lives with his extended family.

I was still admiring the house when the gate opened on its own. Wow! Can this house get more beautiful?

I walked in immediately. Who knows maybe the gate is going to close on its own again if I don't go in quickly?

The interior of the house was even more beautiful and I just kept my mouth agape staring at it's mesmerizing beauty.

This house is definitely going to cost a huge amount of money.

"This way please" a guard said to me while I followed obediently like a lamb

I just pray this meeting goes well cos it's my last hope for now.
