chapter 100
Having just realized what was going on, Damon took the path leading to the elevator, closely followed by Paula. He didn’t know what this girl was doing in his bathroom, but it was certain that she was going to have a serious problem with him. When the elevator opened, he hurried to his room and ran into the bathroom. He ran to the bathtub to see if she was breathing, and luckily she was just asleep.
She’d left the water running from the bathtub faucet and it had leaked through and flooded her bathroom. He blew out his breath as he ran his hands through his hair, she was so deeply asleep that she didn’t even realize it, so she could have drowned. He knew she was naked in the tub and the only way to get her out of there without waking her up was to carry her in his arms, but he was certainly going to make himself look like a pervert so he was thinking of the best way when Paula arrived.
-Is she all right?
-I don’t know how you’re going to get her out of there, but I’m going to wait in my room while I call someone to take care of this.
He left and Paula pursed her lips. This little girl was definitely a whirlwind who could make mischief all day long. She undertook to shake her awake.
Feeling shaken, Olivia opened her eyes and looked around, catching the gaze of a woman she thought she’d met before. The memory of her cocktail tray spilling onto her dress came to mind and everything became clearer: she had to take a bath while waiting for her dress. She looked around and saw the damage, but wasn’t sure it was her.
-May I ask what happened here?
-oh, but I thought you’d already found a clear explanation to give Damon to save your skin, mademoiselle. It’s nearly ten o’clock and the party’s over at four in the morning, but I see you’ve also decided to take a bath and jeopardize his bathroom. I’ll get you some towels to dry off and in the meantime, I suggest you come up with some weak excuses to justify your stupidity to him.
She looked around and didn’t really believe it, she’d frankly done something stupid and it was certain he wasn’t going to tolerate it and all because of her mysterious stranger who’d decided to abandon her in that bed. Since even her boss wouldn’t tell her who this man was, she thought the only way might be this nice little lady, who she thought she could find out from.
A minute later, she saw her arriving with towels and when she looked at her, she smacked her forehead and Olivia couldn’t see what she’d done yet.
-No, but you could have turned off the tap while I was getting the towels. Can’t you see that the water always overflows the tub?
-I admit I noticed that, but I didn’t know where the water was coming from. Do you know a friend of Mr. Dixon’s who frequents a nightclub called Le Bourget and who may have visited his room last night and who may be a billionaire like him?
Paula searched her mind, but she couldn’t see anyone. James and Tyler didn’t have access to this floor so she couldn’t see who she was talking about at all.
-No one.
-I think this person has the same scent as him, the same voice and I’d even go so far as to say it’s his shadow.
-and I’m going for this shadow idea too, because I can’t see anyone. Damon often goes to Le Bourget as he owns it and I imagine he has a private space there as he doesn’t like to mix with the masses and as for this part of his house, I’m the only one he allows in and I was expecting a dismissal this morning when he noticed your presence but he didn’t remark on it so now I’m really going to lose my job because of your stupidity.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
This was too much information for Olivia all at once. Could this man be her mysterious stranger? no, not possible, otherwise he wouldn’t have ignored her after their night of love and he’d never have suggested she go and look for work in Dixon. Aviation if it really belonged to him, but she’d never known who Le Bourget’s CEO was. She wondered if what this woman was saying was true and if it was true then…
