Spending The Night (2)

Valentina had the best sleep of her life at the Grayson mansion. After she took a hot shower, she soaked herself in the large tub and applied all the creams and lotions in the bathroom to her face and body. There were some Valentino silk pajamas and house slippers in an unopened pack on the bed and she unashamedly put it on. After applying ointment to her bruises, she plugged her phone into a wall port and crawled into the fluffy bed. As soon as her head hit the pillow, she was dead to the world.

She woke up when she heard some persistent knocking on her door. After rubbing the crust from her eyes, she sleepily went to open the door but forgot about the nightstand she had placed there.

After smashing her foot into it and hopping around while cursing at the pain, she successfully dragged the heavy nightstand away and opened the door.

Standing in front of her was Kaiser Grayson. He seemed more relaxed today as he only had a black button-up over black slacks. His shirt sleeves were rolled back to his elbows exposing his surprisingly corded forearms. Mmm, she knew he looked fit, but clearly, he worked out a lot. How attractive. She stared at him blankly until he cleared his throat and said,

"Good morning, Miss Valentina did you sleep well?"

"Oh, good morning Mr. Grayson. I slept very well thank you. Truly that was the best sleep of my life." Valentina replied honestly. She forcibly moved her eyes away from his arms and looked at his face.

"Good to hear it. Breakfast is being prepared right now. Is there anything in particular you want? Luca and his psychiatrist will be joining us to eat in about 30 minutes." Kaiser asked gently.

Seeing the pale-looking girl yawn while rubbing her eyes, Kaiser felt bad for forcing her to spend the night here and waking her up early.

"No, I'm not a picky eater. Anything is fine with me. I'll change and be right down Mr. Grayson." Valentina replied with another yawn.

"I had my assistant go out and buy a change of clothes for you as well. Here you go." Kaiser handed Valentina a Chanel shopping bag.

"I can't accept this it's too much." Valentina protested. It was bad enough she had already taken some expensive pajamas!

"It's worth nothing to me. We wanted to launder your clothes yesterday but…." Kaiser paused and glanced pointedly at the nightstand placed to the right of the door.

Blushing furiously, Valentina tried to kick the nightstand out of view. Of course, it didn't move even a bit and she hurt her leg again.

"Thank you for your consideration, Mr. Grayson. I will see you at breakfast in a bit!" Valentina retorted then closed the door in his face.

She quickly went to brush her teeth and wash her face before applying lotion.

"Hey System, how close am I to getting leveled up in acknowledgment?"

[Host has received the acknowledgement of 70/100 people so far]

"When did it go up? I remember it was 50 earlier?" Valentina asked confused.

[Since completing the work with the Fallen Angels MV, the host gained the acknowledgment of the director, some cast members, and some crew members. Host should continue to work hard to level up.]

Seeing that she was almost halfway to her goal, Valentina cheered up immensely. She couldn't wait for her next lucky draw. Maybe it would even be something to increase her body's physical strength.

She quickly opened the shopping bag. Inside was a two-piece button-up linen shirt and wide pants both in black. There were gold sandals inside the bag. And also, a bra and a pack of panties. Blushing at the thought of an assistant going to go select underwear for her, Valentina quickly changed into the clothing while packing her clothes and shoes inside. After making sure she left nothing behind, she made the bed and headed down the stairs.

As soon as she reached the bottom, the butler she saw yesterday immediately approached her.

"Miss Valentina please follow me to the dining room."

Valentina nodded along and walked slowly behind him while admiring the house. Everything was tastefully decorated as if it was in a magazine. Each room had a large window that viewed the garden, pool, or fountain. The crystal chandeliers shimmered in the natural daylight, and exotic statues, paintings, and vases were strategically placed.

When she arrived at the dining room she saw she was the last person to be there. Kaiser Grayson was at the head of the table with his brother Roman Grayson to his left. Luca was sitting to his father's right with an empty seat beside him. And seated next to Roman was a man she had never seen before. He was dressed in an all-white suit and had blond hair and light brown eyes. His hair brushed his shoulders and when he turned to her, she saw that his expression was cold and clinical, as if he was examining her.

"Miss Salazar, welcome to breakfast come sit down!" Roman called while waving his hand. Hearing him call her by her last name, it seemed that they had investigated her background. Although she understood why they did it, it was very displeasing to her. Valentina narrowed her eyes at Kaiser and calmly walked over to the empty seat.

"Good morning everyone, sorry for being late."

"Not a problem. Let me introduce you." Roman continued, "You've met my brother and Luca. This gentleman here is Dr. Leo Howard, Luca's psychiatrist. Leo, this is our little Luca's savior Miss Valentina Salazar."

Valentina turned and nodded her head towards Leo before greeting him, "Hello Dr. Howard, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"The pleasure is mine, Miss Salazar." He nodded back in return.

"Now that the introductions are done, let's eat! Matteo!" Roman called and a parade of maids carried over platters of food. As they arranged it on the table, Valentina turned to greet the little boy who had been staring at her the whole time. He was dressed in a black sweater and black pants and his curly hair was falling into his eyes as he looked up at her.

"Good morning Luca, did you sleep well?" she graced him with her most angelic smile and laughed when he nodded and smiled back at her.

He held his arms out to her, and she quickly gave him a hug and a kiss on top of his head. When she turned back, she noticed that all the men were staring blankly at her so stared back in confusion.

What? Did she do something wrong?
