Chapter 4
Karen POV
After spending almost the whole day at work, I finally left the office. Gosh! I’m so tired, I can’t wait to get home, and get some sleep.
Stepping out of the company, I walked over to the parking lot, and hopped in on my car, before driving out of the compound. After driving for almost an hour, I finally got home, and parked my car neatly at the garage, before heading to the building.
Walking into the living room, I threw myself on the couch tiredly, and threw my head back, while breathing heavily. I’ve had a hectic day, and it’s all my boss’s fault.
The sound of the footsteps descending the staircase, forced my attention there, to see dad, coming in with a smile on his face.
“You’re back princess?”He smiled, as he finally got into the living room, and sat down on the couch across from me.
“Yes, dad.”I nodded.
“How was work today?”He asked.
“It was fine but hectic.”I yawned tiredly.
“Sorry, dear. Why not go to your room, and have a change of clothes? I already prepared dinner for you, so just go shower and come back to have your food.”He said, as he stood up and walked over to me, before pulling me up.
“Dad, I’m so tired,”I whined tiredly, as I forced my legs sluggishly towards the staircase, before climbing it. I walked through the hallway, till I got to the front of my door, and pushed it open.
Stepping into my room, my mouth drop open at the sight before me, my room was sparkling neat, with everything arranged neatly. Wow! Dad is the best.
I dragged my feet to the bed, and slumped on it, before getting rid of my heeled shoes, and damn! My legs hurt like hell. Standing up from the bed, I dragged my feet sluggishly into the bathroom. Stripping out of my clothes, I threw them on the floor and got inside the jacuzzi, where warm soothing water was already prepared for me.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
After having a long relaxing bath, I finally stepped out, and wore my pj’s, before stepping out of the bathroom.
Walking over to my closet, I threw it open and picked out a pink bum short and a white crop top, before wearing them, after which I wore my flip flops, and packed my hair in two messy buns. I glanced at my reflection in the mirror, and smiled, before finally walking out of the room.
Stepping out of my room, I walked through the hallway, till I got to the deck of the staircase, and climbed down it, as I was welcomed with the delicious aroma of food.
“I’m salivating already, dad.”I chuckled softly, as I walked over to the kitchen, where I met him arranging food in a tray.
“I will take it from here dad,”I said, as I took the tray from him, before walking out with it. As soon as I got into the dining room, I arranged the food on the table and waited patiently for dad to come to join me, so we could eat.
I waited eagerly for him to come outside, as I just couldn’t help salivating over the aroma of the food. Dad is the best cook, he’s the best dad anyone would ever wish to have in their life.
Minutes later, he finally came out with a smile on his face and sat down across from me.
“Do you like it?”Dad asked after he opened my plate for me. I could do that myself, right?
“I love it, dad, it looks delicious, and I trust it’ll taste more delicious.”I smiled, before I scoop some of the fried rice into the spoon, and shove it into my mouth. Wow! Dad is such a great cook, the aroma of his food alone can make you salivate.
Silence assumed the atmosphere, as the one sound that could be heard, are the ones coming from the cutleries.
“Dad… don’t you think hiring a maid will be of help?”I said, after a long silence, and he looked at me for seconds, before he resumed eating.
“Don’t think about that princess, I want to take care of you myself…”
“I insist dad… You’re going through a lot, going to the office, cooking, taking care of the house almost all the time…”
“But I am not complaining dear.”He shrugged.
“I am complaining, and I’m going to get a maid for us,”I said in conclusion.
“Alright princess, if that’s what will make you happy.”He said, as he ruffled my hair while chuckling.
After eating, we both cleared the table, and washed the dishes, before finally going to the living room to watch TV.
Dad turned on the TV as soon as we got into the living room, and as expected, he started watching the news. Unlike dad, who loves watching the news more than anything, I hate anything that has to do with news shit. I always fall asleep whenever I try it, and because I’m so tired today, I know I’ll surely end up sleeping.
“Do you want me to change the channel?”He asked as he glanced at me.
“No, it’s fine dad,”I smirked at him, but deep inside me, I want him to change it to something cool, either to a Korean or Chinese movie.
“Alright.”He said, before taking his attention to the TV, and I felt like screaming my lungs out. I want to leave this place, but I don’t want him to feel lonely.
“Good evening everyone out there, we have here with us today, Mr. Dylan Smith, the CEO of DwellSmith empire. Please can you introduce yourself?”I heard a male voice from the TV, and I rolled my eyes while having my gaze on my phone.
“Good evening. My name is Dylan Smith, as you all know, I am the CEO of Dwellsmith empire, the biggest construction company in Texas. I am happy to be here tonight.”The sweetest voice came on, and I was forced to look at who owns that voice, as I was welcomed with the most handsome creature, with the perfect smile on the TV screen. What! Is that human?…
