Villain: The Play of Destiny

Chapter 132 132

?Her heart kept pounding with every step she took, following the attendant who had delivered her a message from Keith.

When they entered the golden lift and the attendant pressed the button for the penthouse, which was a Presidential Suite in the Pacific Oriental reserved only for the owner, her mind started racing with troublesome thoughts.

She could not believe that he would call for her when the party was still going on. And even with all the girls around him, he still asked for her tonight. She did not know what to think of it. Her future boss seemed a little cold to her already, and she was really worried about destroying his personal relations with the girls who loved him so much.

Drowning in her uncomfortable thoughts, she finally arrived at the Penthouse.

The attendant did not step out of the lift, and Ayesha embarrassedly nodded to her before walking out onto the lawn.

Of course, she had seen the pictures of it on the internet. The Penthouse of the Pacific Oriental Hotel was a dream home for most people. However, it was only reserved for the owner, and so even the guests willing to pay a hefty amount could not stay here.

She walked down the aisle, towards the dark wooden door with a draconic crest on it. And she waited there, taking some deep breaths before she pressed the bell.

It was a cold and windy night, and her body shivered every time she was about to lose herself to her thoughts, bringing her back to reality.

She had to wait for nearly 30 seconds before the door opened, and Keith brightly smiled at her.

"Come!" He grabbed her hand and pulled her inside.

As soon as she stepped inside the penthouse, her body stopped shivering as the temperature here was pleasantly warm, and then there was his warm hand, which was a little too comforting.

"Like the place?" Keith knowingly asked when he found her eyes curiously looking all around.

Ayesha lowered her head, feeling a little ashamed, but nodded her head.

"Good!" He chuckled. "Well, it's your new home." He said, making her heart nearly stop in panic, but before she could say anything, he pulled the hand he was holding, and helped her place it on the scanner, registering her on the security system of the Penthouse. "All done." He smiled after he entered the password and saved the data.

"I..." She was about to tell him that she did not need this place, but he cut her off by capturing her lips.

And there it was again, the feeling of helplessness as she just could not resist his touch. And God, he tasted so divine...

Her body started warming up a little, and a dejected sigh escaped her lips when he separated from her.

Ayesha lowered her head in shame, not daring to look at him. She was mad at herself for being such a whore.

"I can't just come over to the place you stay at when I need to see you. So, this is your new home now." He raised her head and planted a kiss on her forehead. "And you look lovely tonight." He complimented her, making her heart skip a beat.

"Thank you for saving Grandpa Max..." She lightly said, trying to change the subject.

"You're welcome." He chuckled and said. "You can take your time to check out the place. I have already had the closets filled with some clothes for you. And forgive me, but I can't stay here tonight." He gently said and nudged her nose with his finger, making her sneeze.

*Achoo*

He laughed when her face turned red in embarrassment, and she glared at him angrily.

"All the services of the Hotel are available to you. You can ask for whatever you need, and you don't have to worry about the cost." He said to her as he picked up his jacket from the hanger. "Good Night!" He planted a kiss on her cheek before opening the front door. "Also, don't forget your meeting with Qingyue."

Ayesha just stayed there looking at the door that had just closed behind him.

A part of her heart was relieved that he was gone, but at the same time, she felt dejected. And then drowning in the conflicted mood that she was in now, and had been since the results of the old man came out, declaring him free of Cancer, she looked around her new home rather uninterestedly.

However, there was something that finally caught her interest.

It was a pack of cigarettes placed on a table in the lounge. She picked it up and then carefully opened the metallic case, which revealed 24 long, coal-black cigarettes with golden highlights.

There was no label on the pack or the cigarettes, but she could feel that these were very expensive.

Out of curiosity and anticipation, she picked one and lit it up. And as soon as the taste of expensive and finest tobacco, mixed in with the alluring taste and scent of the paper it was wrapped in greeted her mouth and lungs, her mind suddenly cleared up.

Somewhere in the back of her mind, her voice was screaming at her to not smoke it and just leave this place. But it was already too late. She knew that after this smoke, she could never bring herself to go back to those cheaper products that she had used for years. And now, she was even missing him a little.

Away from the girl who was lost in her new world, Keith arrived outside the Hotel, where his family was waiting for him.

As soon as he entered the car, their entourage drove off towards the cinema that they had reserved for tonight to watch a movie together.

"Hey!" He grinned at the grey-eyed girl, who was still in a bad mood ever since witnessed Rebecca sing a song for him at the party, right in front of everyone, and then lovingly kissed him as well.

Qingyue was not too bad at singing. She could sing, but Rebecca was unquestionably better than her at it. Her performance was acknowledged and praised by everyone, and she was upset that the Blonde was so bold, and a little envious that Rebecca was better than her at singing.

"Your lover is not coming with us?" She disatisfiedly asked.

"No." He shook his head and accepted the tablet Amelia handed to him.

There was some information on it that he needed to go through, and he carefully read it for the next few minutes.

Nyx had sent her plans for the Noxville to his wife, and had asked them to construct their plan in light of hers.

"We will start working on them after I return from Eden." He handed the tablet back to his wife and nodded to her.

Amelia simply nodded back to him, but the grey-eyed girl was suddenly curious.

"You are going to Eden?"

"Yes."

"When?"

"In the morning." He smiled at her.

"Why?" She asked. "Busines or..."

"I am going there with Mother. We have to register the new Company of the Demiliore Consortium. And well, we could enjoy our time there as well. I miss Grandma too." He informed her.

Qingyue was quite curious to hear that. To go to Eden specifically meant that the approval of the business fell under the jurisdiction of the Federal Government.

"We are opening a new Space Manufacturing and Travel Company." He informed her, and she nodded in understanding.

"When will you be back?"

"I will stay there for at least a week." He informed her. "And no, I have not forgotten that I promised to become the face of your new Fragrances. I will be there for the shoot on the 21st."

Qingyue was pleased that he remembered it and happily nodded her head.

"Want to listen to a new song?" He suddenly asked, and she subconsciously nodded her head.

Keith then played Alana's Wannabe that she had released today, and the grey-eyed girl found it surprisingly very catchy.

"Who's the singer?" She excitedly asked when it finished.

"Alana Storm. But her real name is Alana Parker, and she is an Artist that works for my Music Label." He smiled at her.

"The piano girl who's in the video with you?!" She surprisedly asked.

"Yes." He nodded to her. "She has composed and sang the song herself."

"Wow..."

Keith engaged her in a conversation about miscellaneous things, and all the dissatisfaction that she had been carrying in her heart ran away.

Amelia did not pay attention to their talk. Her mind was already occupied, working out the plans for Noxville, and it was not until they reached the theatre that she put away the tablet.

The night was going to be long as all the ladies wanted to celebrate it to their fullest. And Keith was happy too to be able to spend some fun time with all of them together.
