8 Chapter -8

"Do you think I am a pervert who likes to dress himself in female clothing?" His question again left her speechless. 

"No, I thought it was for the girl you were with last night." She said awkwardly.

He halted and looked back tilting his head to the side raising an eyebrow.

 He asked "didn't you search the whole room last night, did you find any clothes? Although you thought that I lied, when I told you I don't have an article on spare clothing. At least you should trust on your eyes little angel"

This made her eyes widen. How in the name of god did he know that she searched the whole suite? Wasn't he sleeping or was he keeping an eye on her. Did he see her taking a bath also? This made her widened eyes almost come out.

Without telling him what she was thinking he could guess the way she was covering her breasts unconsciously and widening her eyes.

 He snorted and flicked her forehead. "Don't think too much, there is nothing to see there." he said pointing at her covered area through his eyes.

"You.. You.." She pointed at him but didn't know what to say, should she be happy that he didn't see her or be angry that he thought there was nothing to see. 

'Angela what in the name of god are you thinking! Why do you care what he thinks about your body? Get a grip on yourself girl' she took a sigh. God how much has she sighed after meeting him in a short period.

Just when they were about to enter his car the men from last night reached there. 

"Uh, Mr Asbeel, last night you promised us, that you would return the girl to us today"

One of them asked politely while others already tried to hold her hands.

"Hmmm, did I?" He asked, tilting his head to the side looking at them who were trying to hold her. 

They instantly took two steps away. "I think I asked for an exchange and that's what you got a girl in exchange for another. Still smelling like her. Don't you?" He asked, taking a sniff in the air.

"But.."

"Come on now, do you think you could pay me the amount I could have earned on the meantime you are wasting here," he asked with irritation

"Oh no, sorry.. We were just going. Thank you, Mr Asbeel" with that they scurried from there.

He eyed her to enter the car and the moment she fastened her seatbelt he said, "they would come for you. They are following us, little angel and the moment I will drop you, they will capture you.

 If you somehow save yourself, they would still reach your house. They are predators and they have taken the whiff of their prey"

 The car was moving smoothly on the road and his eyes were fixed on the car following them steadily.

She followed his gaze and noticed the two cars following them. "What option do I have now, Mr Asbeel?"

"I am sorry darling none. You have no option. The moment I will leave you, they will come for you." He said still driving.

But instead of feeling bad, she had an extremely good idea like a bulb has finally lit "then don't leave me, I will live with you" she said clapping her hands.

"Eh, I am sorry.. What?" He asked, astonished.

"I mean I could work for you as your Secretary, maid, housekeeper, anything. Please don't ask me to go. I won't even ask for money just lodging and food is enough for me. Please?"

When he looked at her, what caught his attention was not her pleading or puppy face she was making but her aura. Her aura was leaving vibes to do her bidding.

 It's faint for him. But it would definitely work on those despicable humans following her. 'But why didn't it work last night?' He needed to know more about her.

"Okay, but are you sure about it? I am a very demanding boss." Although he was sure she would say yes. As she didn't have another option. He still confirmed to make her feel that she has chosen this for herself.

She beamed and agreed in an instant. "Of course, I am a very hard working person. You would never need to complain." 

After getting one problem solved she again deflated like a balloon "but boss what about my belongings? "

"Do you have anything precious with you?" He asked probing questions.

"Uh, although I have only clothes and a few daily necessities but that's what I have. how would I survive without them?" She replied disappointingly.

"That's not a problem." He took a turn and stopped the car.

 That's when she realized they have already reached his house and people have stopped following her. She had thought they would stop in front of a villa with a beautiful garden, many stories, luxurious buildings and a big dining hall. 

But that's not what she got. It's a penthouse. On the 30th floor.

Modern luxury was represented in everything. It's huge windows open up to the city views from the two-level living room. Built-in neon lights add colorful accents to the predominantly white interior.

 Each area had its own artwork or an entire array of sculptures. Even some of the lighting fixtures are sculptured.

Four bedroom and four bathroom abode also boasted an indoor swimming pool clad in sparkling blue mosaic tiles. And there was, of course, a wooden terrace with a seating area overlooking the city.

Another distinct feature of this mind-boggling penthouse was the dizzying suspended Lucite staircase lit with neon lights that beautifully color it blue and purple.

Home theater and fitness center were only the tip of the iceberg, there was also a majestic atrium in the bath, a rooftop deck, and even a small water tower. 

A six-person steam room, a spa bathroom and a massage room round out the amenities. A steam room, though, lacks in skylights, provided an atmosphere of a starry night sky with some gorgeous fibre optic lighting.

For rooms and hallways, Using the neutral white base the designers highlighted and 'hid' some of the areas like an entrance hallway with different colors. 

Blue and orange accents contrast nicely with black and white while empty wall space is filled with simple art or framed phrases. Two of the design solutions that stand out the most is a glass shelving that doubles as a room divider and a hallway with storage walls treated with the images of clouds.
