Chapter 15

Tony returned and knocked on the study door.

"Come in," Avril said.

Tony walked in to see Avril doing something on his laptop and Lina on the couch busy with some papers.

"Your back," his boss said.

"Yes, I bought the clothes" he passed them to Lina.

"Thank you" she smiled.

"Deliver those documents to Richard and tell him to handle the meeting," said Avril pointing at the envelope on the desk.

"Okay boss, "he said and left.

Avril had Lina sighed and looked up, "What's wrong?" he asked.

"Nothing" she shocks her head

He frowned but went back to his work.

She was so confused by what he gave her but after hours she finally finished and looked up. Avril wasn't in the room anymore.

"Huh when did he leave" she muttered.

Her tummy growled and Lina sighed.

...

"What is going on between you two" Avril frowned hearing his mother's question.

"What do you mean mother?" he asked.

"Stop acting naive Avril, you know what I mean"

"Nothing is going on Mother," he said coldly.

"I received some photos from Richard this morning and it doesn't seem that way. Your behaviour towards her isn't..."

"Mother please," he said.

His mother sighed, "Okay, but make certain that you don't grow attached to her or it will be more dangerous for you than it is for her"

"Yes mother," he said.

"But if you like her then....."

"I will hang up now" Avril cut her off.

His blue eyes stared at the sunset and he frowned.

"Dangerous for me" his hand rested on his chest.

He heard Lilian call her and walked back in.

"Yes, Lilian"

"I will be leaving early tonight but dinner is ready. Have it when your hungry" she said.

"Mmm thank you"

"And I made some soup for Miss Williams" she added.

He nodded, "Where is she?"

Lina had disappeared after lunch.

Lilian smiled, "In the guestroom, still taking a nap"

"Okay, you leave then," he said.

Lilian watched him move to the guest room and smiled.

"Have a good night Mr. Alexander" she muttered and left.

"Miss Williams wake up" he knocked on the door but got no reply, he knocked again, "Am coming in," he said opening the door.

She was laying in bed peacefully sleeping.

He chuckled, "How can you sleep so peacefully in a stranger's house"

Lina turned on her side, her long black hair covering her face. Avril sat down next to her and gently pushed it back, tucking it behind her ear.

His eyes moved down to her leg to check the injured foot then back to her face.

"Wake up and have something" Avril had bent down to her ear.

"Mmm," Lina moved.

"I said get up, time for dinner," he said again.

She slowly opened her eyes and turned meeting his calm glance.

"President" she voiced.

Avril didn't move as he felt her warm breath close to his face.

"How long have you been sleeping?" he asked.

Lina now tried to avoid his eyes, "What time is it?" being that close to him was making her feel weird.

"You have been sleeping for six hours" he answered.

"Huh? I was just tired from all the work earlier" she smiled.

He moved back, " You only handled one document while I did the rest of the work and am not tired"

Lina sat up, "Am sorry"

He soughs getting up from the bed, "Come on let's go have dinner, you need to take your medication"

Lina nodded and pushed her body to the edge of the bed. Before she put her legs down Avril had carried her up.

"Your slow," he said walking with her out of the room.
