Sebastian drove them to the corporate area of the city. Kylie had never come here because this area was only for big companies. Only elites and the top officials work here. Sebastian drove them to the parking lot of the biggest building there.
“I have some documents to sign here. Would you mind waiting for a few minutes?” he asked unclipping his seat belt. She shrugged, she didn’t mind waiting for a few minutes.
“Are we signing any deal with this company?” Kylie asked as soon as they entered the lavish elevator. He chuckled and then pointed to the name board on top of the elevator buttons.
“This company belongs to you?” she asked surprised by the fact that she never knew how rich he was.
“This is the headquarters of the Smith group. I handled my business from here until I bought your company,” replied with a pause.
“Star Media is a small company, I don’t think you would need to run it personally. You can just appoint a manager to handle it and supervise from here,” Kylie replied nonchalantly. Sebastian watched the woman in front of him. Was she really that naive or just acting like one? Couldn’t she see he bought the company just for her? Otherwise, why would he buy a drowning company and care to run it personally?
“If I move here you would need to transfer here as my assistant too,” Sebastian said as soon as the elevator stopped on the 80th floor. Kylie froze in her place. What did he just say?
“Aren’t you coming?” he called her pulling back to reality. Kylie walked fast to catch him.
“What did you mean by I have to transfer here too?” Kylie couldn’t help but ask. She was confused as hell.
“In the contract, it was stated clearly that you would have to be my assistant till the contract is over. So wherever I go you need to follow me,” Sebastian said with a smirk. Kylie sighed in her mind, again that contract.
As they approached the executive area all the employees greeted him with great respect. Kylie followed to what it looked like the CEO’s office.
“You can settle down there and we will leave after thirty minutes,” he pointed to the sofa at the other side of his big marble table. Kylie just nodded and made herself comfortable on the sofa. She picked up a fashion magazine from the center table. She always wanted to be a model. The glamor world attracted her the most.
She was so engrossed in the magazine that she didn’t even realize Sebastian stealing glances at her. Soon she dozed off leaning her head on the sofa.
Sebastian was signing his documents. Leaning on his big swivel chair he was watching the woman sleeping in front of him. She looked so innocent while sleeping. Who would say she was the one who cried to sleep last night for sex? Just then his phone vibrated on top of the table. He swiped it and held it near his ear.
“I am bringing her in half an hour,” he said looking at the sleeping beauty. Then ended the call. He pulled a drawer of his table and picked up a small box. Then he walked to her. He brushed his finger slowly on her face removing the strand of hair disturbing her. Kylie slowly opened her eyes to meet his intense stare.
“Be my wife,” saying as he slid a ring on her ring finger. Kylie was shocked, she sat up straight and glanced at the diamond ring on her finger. It was beautiful and of a flower shape. Can diamonds be cut like this? She thought in her mind. While she was busy checking her ring, the magazine in her lap fell on the floor.
Sebastian picked up the magazine but the opened page made his mood sour. It was a photo of shirtless Alan, posing sexily. He threw the magazine into the nearby trash can.
“Don’t think too much. I am taking you to meet my grandmother. So in front of her act like my real wife. Don’t let her know we despise each other. She must think we are in love,” he said with a scowling face. Kylie was surprised by his sudden mood change. Wasn’t he acting sweet a few minutes ago?
“What are looking at my face? Let’s go she’s waiting for us,” saying that he started walking to the door. Kylie hastily picked up her purse and mobile and ran after him.
Sebastian drove them to a residential area outside of the city. It was on top of a hill near nature. Kylie guessed this was only for rich people watching the big villas on both sides of the road. The car came to a stop in front of a big gate. Seeing his car, the guard opened the gate fast. It took them about five minutes to drive from the gate to the villa. Kylia was awestruck after getting out of the car. If she thought the villas outside were big then this one was enormous; not even one villa could be compared to this one.
Soon the butler came running to greet them. She was a middle-aged woman in her mid-forties.
“Welcome home, Mr and Mrs. Smith,” she bowed her head with a happy smile. This was the first time some called her Mrs. Smith with so much respect. Kylie also responded with a broad smile.
“The Lady is waiting for you in the living room,” she said and showed them the way. Kylie was about to follow her when she felt a tug in her hand. Sebastion held her hand and laced their fingers.
“Let’s go to meet grandmother, sweetheart,” he gave her a genuine grin. Kylie decided to play along with him. So she nodded.
“Okay, honey,” she replied sweetly earning a satisfied look from him.
“Bella, would you please ask someone to bring the gifts inside from the car?” Sebastian asked the butler lady while passing her to meet his grandmother.
As they were approaching the living room Kylie couldn’t help but be amused by the interior of this mansion. The decoration was elegant and classy. Inside the living room, an old lady in her seventies was sitting on a grand chair seeping on her tea. She looked like a queen in her designer attire and posture. Her movements were sophisticated and powerful at the same time. At a glance, Kylie knew her grandmother-in-law was from a very high-class family.
“Gran, we are home,” Sebastian announced their present.
“Who do you think you brought with you? Did you think I would accept a girl like her to be the daughter-in-law of my family?” brimmed her cold voice making Kylie jump in fright. She wasn’t looking forward to such an entry in her in-law’s house.
