Chapter 17
“Alex, where are you actually taking me?”
Inside the car, with both eyes covered by a cloth, Nicole kept asking questions. She was both puzzled and curious about where Alex was going to take her this afternoon.
Earlier, the man had contacted her, inviting her to meet instead of wanting to surprise her. Usually, when he wanted to give something, Alex would just give it directly. But this time, he acted differently. That’s why Nicole became extremely curious.
“You’ll find out soon. Just trust me, I guarantee you’ll love it.”
Alex pulled the corner of his lips into a smile. He continued driving, and before long they arrived at their destination.
“Now, you can uncover your eyes.”
After getting out of the car, Alex gave Nicole the command. As soon as she opened her eyes, the woman was astonished, then asked innocently.
“Alex, what does this mean?”
“He said you wanted to move into an apartment? I’ve chosen a good one close to the office. Now, we can see and check out the unit together.”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Nicole jumped with joy. She was ecstatic that her request had been granted by Alex. Instantly, visions of sleeping in a comfortable and luxurious place danced in her mind. After this, she would no longer need to live with her relatives and her mother in a cramped, dingy, and ugly rented house like before.
Alex then invited Nicole to immediately check the unit he had chosen for her. Moreover, inside it was already complete with all kinds of expensive furniture ready for Nicole to use.
“Alex, are you serious about this for me?”
“Yes, Darling,” nodded Alex. “I’ve paid the down payment. I’ve even handed over the keys. So, you just need to move in. I’ll take care of the monthly payments.”
“But, this apartment is really expensive.”
Alex didn’t deny that. But, he had his own reasons why he chose that apartment to give to Nicole.
“It’s okay. Besides being close, I can also easily meet you there. And besides, the security is tight. Not just anyone can come and go.”
Don’t ask how happy Nicole was. Countless hugs and kisses were given to Alex.
“Thank you so much for granting my request.”
“You’re welcome, Darling. Besides, what wouldn’t I do for you?”
“You’re the best.”
Nicole kissed Alex more intimately again. In her heart, she was extremely grateful. All her efforts and steps to become Alex’s kept woman hadn’t been in vain. All the facilities, luxurious items, countless things she got from her cousin’s husband. Nicole thought, if there’s an easy way, why bother working hard? Now, it’s just about providing the best service so Alex never turns away or leaves her. Nicole vowed not to let that happen.
“Anyway, after this, whatever you ask for, I’ll definitely fulfill it.”
“Sure?” Alex asked after their kiss.
“Absolutely. Whatever it is, I’ll give it to you.”
“In that case, I’ll stay here tomorrow night.”
“Tomorrow night? Seriously? It’s the weekend tomorrow. Usually, you always spend time with that annoying Aurora.”
Nicole pouted as if jealous. After all, Alex usually never meets her on holidays or weekends. Because from the beginning of their relationship, they had agreed to meet during working hours to minimize Aurora’s suspicions.
“I’m mad at Aurora right now. So, tomorrow I’ll just use the excuse of a business trip out of town. Bastian will take care of everything.”
Nicole was certainly happy. If possible, Alex could stay with her forever.
“Until Sunday then. It’s not every weekend anyway.”
“Don’t worry. I even plan to stay until Monday with you. Anyway, you have to be ready to make me happy while I’m here.”
Nicole immediately agreed. It wasn’t difficult for her to fulfill Alex’s request to have fun.
“Well then, before going back to the office, let’s have lunch first, okay?”
“Agreed.”
They both went out together, holding hands affectionately along the corridor to the lobby. Unaware, there were some who accidentally saw them, even capturing their moments together.
