21. His little kitten
Lucas finished his breakfast and decided to leave but the little woman was nowhere in sight.
He knew for sure she is as avoiding him but couldn’t place his finger on why though.
He decided to go and knock on her door to excuse himself since he was getting late for Office.
He walked upstairs and knocked lightly on her door. After a few seconds, the door was opened revealing a beauty clad in a white fluffy towel that covered the places Worth covering.
Her hair was still wet and some droplets were falling on her shoulders and disappearing somewhere he wished to take a peek at. She looked fresh and edible.
Controlling his thoughts that were even surprising him, he cleared his throat.
” I will be leaving, thanks for everything.” He said and turned to leave before marina could answer him, not like she had anything to say.
She just nodded her head even though she knew that he can’t see that gesture.
She thanked heavens that he was finally gone. Now she can prepare herself and head straight to Office freely.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
It’s not like Marina was scared of Lucas, no. On the contrary, she was scared on what she can end up doing to him if they continued to exist in the same space.
His well sculpted face and those lips were so inviting that she just wanted to trace every inch of his face with her tiny hands and devour those lips like crazy.
To marina, Lucas was a living temptation. His existence alone was enough to tempt Marina to commit sins and as a believer, she was obligated to avoid commiting sins and what better way than to avoid the temptation itself.
Walking to her vanity table, she plugged in the hair drier and started drying her long silky hair.
One of the things that gave her a hard time was her extremely curly hair that had to be straightened almost daily.
It consumed too much of her time but even though, cutting it short was the last thing she could consider.
Resigning to her fate, she continued drying her hair and once done, she gathered it and tied it into a high ponytail.
This was her favourite hair style. It allowed her to be professional as well as mantaining her elegance.
Applying cream on her body, she proceeded to the walk in closet where she selected a black suit for herself paired with a white long sleeved shirt. She donned crystal heels and a matching handbag.
She picked the revised files from her work table, stuffing them to her handbag, she picked her car keys and left for work.
Locking the door, she activated her house’s security mechanism and strutted to her car.
Soon enough the car roared to life and she left the premises.
” Hello Sir, the miss left minutes after her boyfriend did.” A man who had been hiding himself reported to his Boss.
” Why did the two leave together if they spent the night together?” Mr Santos murmured to himself leaving the man unable to reply because honestly, he didn’t know what to reply.
His boss had requested him to follow the young miss after she left the house with the company of the young man who was rumoured to be her boyfriend.
He ha trailed them and reported every detail to his Boss. He had even stayed here overnight just to spy on the two.
” Forget it, it’s better if we leave them alone. My daughter will be like to know that I have been spying on her. For now concentrate on the previous task I had given you. The sooner we find where they were buried the better.” The boss instructed and immediately disconnected the call.
The days passed with everyone busy with their own work. Mr Santos was waiting for news about a certain investigation he had asked his men to conduct. He was dying to go visit the only woman who had won and also taken away his heart. He couldn’t believe that she had left him not because she she fell in love with someone else but because she didn’t want to disrupt his life nor endanger their daughters.
Yes daughters.
He can’t still believe that their love had brought about two lovely daughters to this world. Unfortunately he wasn’t there to see them be born nor was he there to hold them.
He still can’t believe that his adopted daughter is actually his flesh and blood with the love of his life. It pains him to think that she didn’t give him a chance to choose and chose for himself.
If only she could have told him about it, maybe by now they could be happily married.
But this world had no place for regrets. He had lost her and his other daughter due to his ignorance.
Marina on the other hand had been busy handing over most of her work to her secretary. Although she remained the founder and CEO of her law firm, she delegated most of the work to her apprentice.
She wanted to take over the Santos company and that to happen, she had to somehow reduce her workload.
Martina and her mother in country A were busy packing and finalizing their travelling papers. Martina didn’t have a problem but her mom who had not travelled for the past 25 years had to acquire her passport and other documents. The house was already sold and the New owner was only waiting for them to vacate.
Her mother was excited to finally leave to her home country not to mention the eagerness to meet her other daughter.
Lucas was busy with the company’s matters. The collaboration with jungle construction company was at it’s peak. He had been cooperating with Terry to oversee the progress of the mall and so far everything was going well. If things continued this way, the three months target will be met.
He has also been waiting for a call from his little kitten and even though it has been a week, she hasn’t called yet. He wondered what she was doing that was keeping her so busy.
