Lani's Royale

She was haunted. Scarily haunted. After that incident, Leilani is trapped in that trench of endless nightmare with no knowledge of what was going on. "You're crazy. No one would believe you. One day you'll fail", the voice said to her. It kept coming. "Don't listen to it Lani. I'm here. You can lean on me", the man said to her, grasping her out of that endless torture and leading her into a new light.

Chapter 11. Last night

Chapter 11. Last night

She didn't know what it was happened to her but she slept soundly this time. She was flustered by the reality of it as the house in question was a guy she knew nothing about except his name and how good-looking he was.

Leilani got off the bed after sometime and grabbed her cellphone. She dialed Rachel. She wanted to know if the latter had brought the clothes as told.

"Rachel", she called the moment Rachel picked up

"Miss", Rachel's anxious voice was heard from the other end of the line.

Leilani stood abruptly at the sound of Rachel's troubled voice.

"Rachel, what's wrong?"

"Miss...we have a situation".

"What situation? Are you stuck in traffic?"

"Uh....", Rachel replied unsure of what to say.

"Rachel talk to me!", Leilani said her voice a bit raised.

"Hand me that phone". Leilani's eyes widened when she heard the voice. That was the voice of the guy from last night. So, that means....

"Miss Zhang, you're finally awake", he said the moment the phone was in his hands. His voice sounded playful and lazy.

"Why wouldn't you let my assistant come up?"

"I didn't want to disturb your beauty sleep".

"Still..."

"My apologies Miss Zhang. But I thought that was the best sleep you must have had in ages since you didn't even notice when I pulled the curtains".

Leilani looked at the curtains and saw that they were parted to let in sunlight.

"Oh...was that you?"

"I'll let your assistant come up to you now", after he had said that, he gave the phone to Rachel who collected with trembling hands. The man's aura was just too excess.

Rachel got to her room with the direction given to her by Stephan. When she arrived, Leilani was getting ready to take her bath.

"Good morning Miss".

"Yes Rachel. Hope you slept well?"

"Yes... Miss", Rachel called with hesitance in her voice.

"Is there a problem?"

"Did you and Mr Dever have a moment?", she asked unaware of the blush that had crept up to her cheeks. It was a personal thing to ask but she couldn't help it. If they had really had a moment, then her Miss was the first to get laid by him. What a blessing!

"Why's that a concern of yours, Rachel?"

"No, it's not like that. It's just..."

"Let it rest Rachel, let me know of my schedule".

"O... okay ", Rachel stuttered and began turning the pages of the file in her hand. She knew her Miss was trying to hide it but she didn't had to worry. No one would know of what had happened between them. She would help her hide it! She swore to do so.

The two women came down to the living room and still met Stephan there. Leilani arched a brow at him. He didn't seem to notice their presence.

"You're ditching work today?"

"Doesn't matter to you", he said as he looked up from his tablet.

"Well... that's true. Anyways, I'm grateful for last night".

Last night?! Rachel screamed in her head. Oh...how wonderful it must have been! She looked from the corner of her eyes, from her Miss to Stephan Dever. She heaved a noiseless sigh and clutched the files tightly to her chest.

"That's not a problem".

"I owe you one. I hope to repay. What would you like, dinner? Shopping? Playing golf? Visiting the sauna or... helping you out in a project?"

Stephan looked at her. "You sure are a businesswoman. You don't want to owe me?"

"No one wants to be indebted to someone else".

After some thought, he replied, "I'll think about it".

Leilani arched her brows. What was there to think about? Without wasting anymore time, she left with Rachel.
