Chapter 25
"Anthony I change my mind about going home or to the bar...." he spoke gently not to raise fear in them,"..... take my secretary to a hotel I will come and see you later"
Well, she is always a secretary to him....
"Mr sage what is going on?" Faye asked.
"Bro what's going on?" Anthony asked looking at Daylan through the driver mirror.
"Nothing, just do as I say". Anthony nodded, turning left.
Another car stopped, he was about coming out when Faye held him.
"Mr sage what is going on?" Her eyes begged for answers.
"Why the sudden change of mind?"
"You are not yet okay...." she gesture with her hand towards his bandage shoulder. "....Where are you going to?"
"I don't want to go to the hotel with Anthony.
I.......... Want to go with you"
"Faye...."his eyes bore into her ' just trust me okay?" his finger curled around her slender arms. "Anthony will take good care of you, something came up and I promised to Join you in an hour", Daylan reluctantly decided to leave her for her safety.
Daylan knew it was not because she preferred his company, that is why she wanted to go with him.
He saw the discomfort in her towards Anthony even while they were discussing and the fear of what will happen to him while leaving them.
Daylan knew Anthony can be very sneaky with women, but he dare not try it with Faye. He trust his bestfriend.
Reluctantly Faye nodded, the fear still in her eyes. She remained silent as she wholeheartedly trusted Daylan and hope his one hour would be over soon.
"Anthony' don't leave my secretary alone, stay with her till I return' he instructed receiving a nod from his bestfriend.
Iam just his secretary, that is all iam to him......
She exhaled.
' I will be back before you know it" he turned to Faye with seriousness and assurance.
He slipped out of the car and quickly hopped into his security vehicle waiting for him.
As Anthony pulled away, Faye turned back looking at the back window of the car hating the increasing distance separating her and her boss.
"Why did Daylan not take me with him?
"Why did he tell me to go to the hotel? With Anthony?
"Why not her house? She wondered.
She looked at Anthony and smiled nervously.
When they got to Daylan's hotel, Anthony took her to daylan suite, he showed her around, her bedroom and the adjourning door that led to Daylan's bedroom.
He smiled ' Iam sorry you are stuck with me'
Faye nodded returning the smile.
I will try to keep you company till Daylan comes back even though I might get busy soon, so please feel comfortable' if there is anything you want let me know.
"I would like........a shower"Faye requested.
She cannot sit and feel comfortable when Daylan is at God knows where!
"Sure..... Take your time" he pointed to the door that led to the bathroom of the suite, while he walked out.
Faye saw a bag on the bed opened it and saw a pair of cotton shirt and pink short, she entered the tub to shower and wait for Daylan to return.
While bathing Faye mind began to play trick on her.
what if something bad has happened to daylan?
What if he has been kidnapped or dead?
Or they have shot him again?
She shook her head, Daylan will be fine........
"Mr sage will be here in less than forty minutes", she assured herself cleaning the foam off her body.
After shower she dressed and walked towards the lounge to find Anthony who was close to the window working on his PC.
"You look good", he complimented her eyeing her with a smile.
"Thanks Anthony" she smiled.
"I will order room service, least I forget here is the wine I brought when returning from Paris."
Faye smiled collected the expensive wine from Anthony, "thank you.
She walked to the mini bar at the corner of the suite, picking two glass cups.
"Do you care? "Yes, thank you. He accepted.
Faye filled the glasses with wine, gave Anthony one and walked to the couch infront of the television, she tried concentrating on the drama she was looking at but her mind wander to daylan.
"Is he okay? Is he still alive? She wondered.
"Is the wine good? Anthony break her from her thoughts.
"Uhm.... She nodded, the best I have drank so far.
"I knew you would like it, he smiled walking towards her.
Looking intently at her he smiled again, I bet Daylan will like it too.
Faye looked away, why is Anthony bringing her mind back to daylan who she is trying hard not to think of?
She wondered how long it will take Daylan to return, she was aching to call him just to make sure he is fine, she took all her will power not to urge Anthony to call him. She doesn't want Daylan to suspect anything, well he has been out of the country over eight months and alot has happened.
"I think I will need to rest a little while, she stood up placing her glass gently on the table. If you don't mind, she added. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Anthony nodded drinking the remaining content from his glass, ' Go ahead and have a nice rest.
"Yeah' she edge her way towards the bedroom.
When she got to the bedroom she closed the door gently making sure to double check the lock.
She had noticed the look in Anthony's eyes when they were together in the car and in the hotel, she is not ready take any chances until Daylan comes back.
She began pacing the room wondering where Daylan was, she checked her mobile No calls, No texts atall from him.
"Where could he be?
Tired of standing and thinking she changed into the hotel night wear and crept onto the bed.
Maybe if she lay down for a while Daylan would burst through the door, come pick her up, carry her to his bed and make wild passionate love to her.
Stupid!!
Stupid girl! She mentally slapped herself.
She sighed closing her eyes.
