Chapter 18
Alan was sitting on the chair with an earpiece connected to his ear. It looks like he was talking to someone on the phone. Vienna went to the dressing table and creamed herself then she proceed to wear her clothes. She drop her towel and heard a sound from Alan’s side. He seems surprised. She turn to him and saw him looking at her. She felt shy, it seems as if he was looking at her body directly with his eyes. Vienna turn her eyes away after reassuring herself that he is blind and start to dress. Putting on her undies one by one and her clothes. Then she walk up to Alan who seems busy on the phone again.
“should I head out alone or do you need some help?” she asked softly. Alan pretended not to hear her and continue on the phone.
“then I will head out first” she said after she didn’t receive any reply from him and left. Alan remove the earpiece on his ear immediately he heard the sound of the door close. He inhale deeply and breathe out again. He turn his head to the door and replay what he saw just now. Even though her figure looks like a mere shadow and it was faint but he still know that she was dressing.
“did Kellie not tell her that what he had is partial blindness and not blind totally? She wouldn’t have anyways because he told everyone otherwise” he thought.
“then she must have touched him during the night because she thought that he wouldn’t see her
They got back to the house Alan gave to her and her sister and both sat down to talk while Vanessa and Nisan excuse them so they could talk.
“I know you might have some questions but first there are some new development. I know this isn’t part of our contract initially but now it is. So will you prefer to stay here or move over to my house?” Alan asked.
“why should I move over to your house? And also why of all things the only thing you could think of is being pregnant” Vienna snap at him. Alan was surprised at her outburst. Since yesterday that they met again after three years, he felt that she is a different person. She was so quiet and polite, not raising her voice once even when she was insulted yesterday but he felt like she changed back to her normal self just because its now the two of them.
“if you had think up of good reason then I wouldn’t have to step in and say something” he answered back.
“then you should have said something more realistic. Pregnancy is something that is so lame” she replied back.
“don’t get ahead of yourself. Am not going to ask you to sleep with me not to talk of getting pregnant okay, we just need to put up an act”
“and how are we going to put up an act for something like that?have you forgotten what your grandfather said, we are to share the same room for three months and not just that on the same bed”
“if you shut up and listen to me, am sure we can” he said a little loud and Vienna keep quiet.
“you will have to move in with me today or I move in here, you pick one and there should be no mistake in this so we are going to stay in one room but not on the same bed. Also you must make sure grandfather doesn’t find out any of this from you. If he gets to know that I did the same thing as the first time then he would be furious and greatly disappointed”
“do you really hate me so much to have used my best friend against me?” Vienna suddenly asked bringing up Benita’s issue.
“i don’t have to answer you that and also you will visit the company’s headquarter tomorrow morning”
“its fine if you don’t want to answer but can I come over to your place later on my own? I have some few things to attend to”
“no problem. The driver will come pick up in the evening” he said and Kellie entered then they left together.
