Tempting the Billionaire and His Heir

Chapter 31(1330)

ALEXA’S POV

As we walked side by side through the halls to the next room, my mind is in panic on what to tell Anthony. I feel as though he already knows, but it’s best to lie for now. If he already kmows the truth, then surely he isn’t going to let a thief work for him.

Mr. Brown seemed to sense my nervousness as he gently wrapped his arm around my arm, pulling me closer to his side. He wasn’t taking advantage of the fact that I’m naked under a towel, I feel relieved knowing he wouldn’t do anything to hurt me.

“What are you thinking about?” He whispered in my ear, making goosebumps erupt all over my body.

“Um nothing important…” I lied, attempting to act casual despite my shaky hands, and shaking knees.

The corner of his mouth turned up at my attempt at sounding unconvincing.

“If you say so…” his smile slowly disappeared, as we continued off to the hotspring.

I didn’t bother opening my legs once we reached the hot springs, letting out a moan as the water surrounded me. I closed my eyes as the warm water felt so good. I felt as though I could relax with Mr. Brown for awhile.

“Did you enjoy?” Mr. Brown asked, his tone playful as he watched me sink lower and deeper into the steaming water. I smiled at how calm he sounded.

I nodded my head slowly. I couldn’t wait to get out of the steaming water, especially when I saw Mr. Brown’s eyes staring at me intently. He was staring at me. Not just checking me out and seeing if my clothes are soaked with water. Not even the fact that I’m wearing nothing but a towel that clung to every single inch of my body, just observing my reactions. He was watching me, he was looking at me, in all honesty, in a way that I never saw any other man stare at me. I felt so exposed under his gaze and I was glad that my hair was covered by a towel and that I was standing in front of him. This way I could feel better with the possibility that he might think less of me if I’m being too submissive to him. He hasn’t done anything to make me think otherwise; I knew I’d still want him regardless of how hard I tried not to. God, help my thoughts.

Sitting back down, I looked up to him to see his gaze up at the sky. Looking up, I was amazed by the glass ceiling featuring the night sky.

“Wow” that was all I could utter, I hear a few footsteps behind me and see a woman with drink in hand that we ordered.

“Thank you, Kana” Mr. Brown then bows his head and I so so as well in respect to the server before they left.

“Still enjoying yourself ?” Mr. Brown asks as he takes his drink and slides the other to me.

“Definitely, sir, thank you!” I quickly reply, as I sip my drink.

After our hot bath and a light dinner, we went back to the room to finish off the last half of our meal. I decided to order pizza instead since I really liked it.

We ended up playing some mindless games while we eat the delicious food. The whole time I was feeling happy and carefree. I actually enjoyed talking with him as it relaxed me after the stressful day of working.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Sir, I have a question,” I spoke as I had a mouthful of pizza while he was busy looking at the puzzle in front of us.

“Yes, dear?”

“Why did you come asking me instead of going alone here, you seem to have a lot of money but i wouldn’t want to add on to that expense,” His gaze goes up to me as I said those words.

“I find your company soothing, you have the same energy as someone close to me,” Mr. Brown answers, taking a piece and putting it in the puzzle mat.

“Is that so?”

After I finished cleaning up all the mess from our meal, I started putting away the used plates and cups as well as the empty bottles and cans.

I heard something fall on the floor which I immediately turned towards the source to find him kneeling down on the floor holding two glasses with wine stains on them.

“Hey, don’t touch those! You could get hurt,” I exclaimed as I grabbed a paper bag to dispose of the mess before he does.

“I know, I know.” He murmurs behind me, watching me as I pick up the mess.

We clean up all of the mess and put the dirty dishes and the leftover pizza in the garbage. I was about to go outside to have the housekeeping take the trash, I feel his hand as he stops me.

“Can we leave the glass and wine glasses?”

“But they’re dangerous, sir,” I argued as we stood in the middle of the living room that now has a big puddle of dirty glasses that were on top of the carpet.

“Don’t worry Alexa, just take them with you. I’ll get them later and replace them.” He insists.

“Are you sure?” I asked skeptically.

“Trust me, you don’t want to leave the glass and wine glasses there. They’ll only become dirty later.” He assures me.

“Very well sir, if you insist.”

With a nod and smile, I placed the glasses on the table near the couch before grabbing the plastic bag and leaving the kitchen and heading up to the suite. Once inside, I dropped the trash can near the door and began looking around at the suite. It was spacious and very expensive.

“How long will I be staying here?” I asked Mr. Brown who was now walking in the suite with a bottle of wine in his hand.

“As long as you would like, dear,” He responds as we sat down on the sofa as I pulled up my knee’s and laid back against the pillows, stretching out my neck.

“We have our next spa session until we can leave, if you were wondering” His words relieved me as I thought Mr. Brown had the idea of keeping me in here for god know how long.

I dont need Cody hearing any rumours about this, let alone getting any ideas about me and Mr. Brown.

After spending almost an entire working under his mansion and spending my day-off with my boss, I’m afraid Cody would think that Mr. Brown is trying to seduce me. Well I am still surprised by how easy Mr. Brown can persuade me.

“Well if you insist, sir,” I replied politely, feeling relieved and slightly excited. I hope Cody doesn’t figure anything out. If he did, then it’ll be a bigger problem to deal with. And I hate to fail at something because it’s one thing to admit that you’re doing wrong. It’s another thing entirely when you get caught at it. I don’t want to cause Mr. Brown problems again, I owe him this much. Besides, if I did try to run away from him, Cody would probably hunt me down like a rabid dog. I wouldn’t be able to protect myself if Cody came looking for me and Mr. Brown is the only person who can protect me. That is the reason why I chose not to run away from Cody. No matter how much I hated having to stay in at our dingy apartment, I know Mr. Brown wants me to live comfortably so I would rather stay here than create a huge problem between me and Cody.

He took the bottle of wine out of his suit pocket and poured himself some of it.

“Do you prefer red or white wine?” He asks me, pouring some wine in both of our glass.

“White, it seems like a classy choice,” I answered.

He laughed at my remark and poured me a glass of white wine.
