Mnie carefully watches Mr Gordon as he closes the door behind him, while she remains calm in his arms. She opens her eyes when she is sure they arepletely out of sight.


    “You can put me down, now.” she yawns slowly, movingzily in his chest.


    Mr Gordon stares at her face, he chuckles lightly before putting her back on her feet. “Thought you were sleeping in there, that’s why I decided to carry you in my arms.” Mr Gordon stares back to the work room and then a light gasp escapes his kissable mouth. “Did you fake a sleep just so I could carry you?” he red hard at her. He couldn’t believe she could trick him to carry her.


    Mnie scoff. “As if I ever asked you to carry me.” she rolls her eyes at him. “I was surely dozing, but I didn’t realise we were already out of there until we get here,” she confesses. In as much as she would love to get carried by him, she wouldn’t fake sleep just so he could carry her. She finds it a bit infantile.


    “Are you mad because of that? Huh?” Mr Gordon pouts sadly. “You shouldn’t take everything to heart. I am merely joking with you.” He whines like a child. He tugs at her shoulder and then pulls her to his body.


    Mr rolls her eyes and then shrugs her shoulders, letting his hand slide down from her body.


    “C’mon Mine, I’m notining because you trick me into carrying you. I have no problem with it, and I could even carry you all day without getting tired.” he groans, trying to take her hand.


    Mnie move away from him, she stop walking and then face him with her arms crossed over her chest. “I didn’t trick you to carry me. I was dozing in there before you decided to carry me on your own.” She shakes her head slowly. “Truly, I wasn’tpletely dozing. But I was tired and need some rest. You carried me of your free will and now what did you do? Telling me I tricked you.” she scoffed unbelievably.


    Mr Gordon stops talking for a while, he bore his gaze into her eyes and Mnie looks away after his stare on her face making her feel somewhat guilty.


    “I carried you because I feel like doing so, also there’s no harm in it if you decide to trick me into carrying you. We are in love and that’s what lovers do.” He utters, moving closer to Mnie who stands confused on the spot.


    “Do you think I’m angry with you?” Mnie asks, taking a few steps closer to him, closing the little space between them. “I’m not angry, I never got angry with you even when you did a great thing to get mad. I’m just… for a while I don’t know if I’m making sense but I’m not angry. I thought you were, that’s why I tried to get mad at you too.” she sighs, wrapping her arms around his neck.


    Mr Gordon takes a deep breath. He sneaks his hands to her waist and leans closer to her. “You want to get mad at me because you thought I was angry with you?!” he whisper to her ear, the side of his mouth creeping in a devilish smirk.


    “Do you now see a reason topete with your man?” he smirked when Mnie hit her fist on the side of his waist.


    “Don’t be silly.” she chuckles into his chest.


    “I’m sorry.” he smiles, hugging her tightly to his body.


    Mnie sniffs in his fragrance, but she remains still in his chest, fantasizing about the things they would do together now that they are courting.


    “You should get some rest, you have been working alongside me since the morning,” Mnie says amidst her yawns. She disengages from the hug.


    “Working alongside you? Did you now consider it as a task?” he chuckles when he remembers how she made it known to him in the morning, that he was only wasting away time and not doing anything.


    “So, I wasn’t wasting away time after all, I have been helping out all along.” he grins when Mnie shoots him a deadly stare.


    “I didn’t say you were wasting away time, I was merely trying to make you get yourself busy with something.” she rolls her eyes at him.


    “Making me help out with work is not fair, I paid those people a massive amount of money to get it done. I don’t see any reason why I should help them out with their paid job.” He grumbles as trails behind her.


    “Keep on shoving your wealth in my face.” Mnie scoffs, she increases her pace as she wants to get to her room as soon as possible.


    “I’m not shoving my wealth in your face, I’m merely trying to let you know that we are a king and queen in our world we don’t need to act like a tramp.” he boosts behind her.


    Mnie scoffs audibly at what he said. She turns in the direction that leads to her quarter. Mr Gordon hastily pulls her back with her arm.


    “Where are you going?” he asks the obvious, the look on Mnie’s shows that he just asked a foolish question and he couldn’t put himself to think of what she might be thinking of him, in her mind.


    “I’m going to my room. It’ste and I need to get some sleep. I’m going to work in the morning.” she smiles radiantly at him.


    “I thought we were going to my room.” he chuckles shyly, hitching his nape as he speaks.


    “Why should I go to your room when I have mine?” Mnie’s eyes widen in shock when she thinks of the reasons he would likely want her to go to his room.


    Mr Gordon smiles shyly. “I have something to show you in my room. Can you follow me to my room?” he asked, staring deep into her eyes.


    “Yeah, whatever! Let’s go.” she let out, avoiding his charming gaze in her eyes.


    He smiles then grabs her hand, pulling her towards the direction of his room. They get to his door, after taking a few steps from her quarter.


    Mr Gordon twists the doorknob and then ushers her in. “Wee to my room, Mine!” he bows slightly to her.


    Mnie hit his arm yfully as he seeds in making her cheeks get rosy. “Stop ttering me.” she jokingly rolls her eyes at him.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    Mr Gordon grins as he closes the door behind them. He moves his gaze back to Mnie and he catches her staring at his littered bed.


    “That was in the evening.” he shakes nervously like a child that is getting scolded by his mother. “I was looking for what to wear and I end up littering everywhere, I was running out of time so I didn’t bother to pack. But it’s just the bed, nowhere else.” He rants even when she didn’t ask. He feels like she will be ashamed of him for being dirty, and that’s why he needs toe out clean.


    “I have been here before,” Mnie shake her head. “And it wasn’t like this,” she says, staring at his reddish ear. She moves closer to him and steps on her toes. “You’re not always like this, and I understand the situation of this house this evening. I understand.” she cares about his earlobe which results in his cheeks getting rosy as well.


    He moves his palm to her hand on his ear. “You shoulde to the window with me.” he coughs shyly, moving his gaze away from her.


    “Oh, okay,” she smiles and lets her hand slide down from his ear. Mr Gordon smile at her innocent face. He grabs her hand and pulls her to the window.


    He grabs the curtain and parts it sideways. “You should see this with me. I have always wished to star gaze with my future partner on our first night.” Mr Gordon boasts happily.


    He opens the window and the bright star of the night sky is what wees their sights. Mnie moves closer to the window, staring lovingly at the sky.


    Mr Gordon wraps his hand around her waist and gently ces his head on her back. “I feel okay now, knowing that you are mine and I am yours,” he mumbles as he tightens his hold on her waist.


    “You would not know my pain, or how agonising I felt knowing that I didn’t own you and you could be with any man at any time.” he gulp hard, then breathed out a sigh of relief.


    “Each time, I thought my world is copsing whenever you speak of Andy. We may have known each other in the past but I can’t bear losing you to a man like him, it will haunt me for the rest of my life.” He chuckles, which makes Mnie’s heart to be at ease, knowing that she feels nothing for Andy. They are just friends and she could not bring herself to love another man since she already has a feeling for her boss.


    “Why would I harbour any feelings for another man when I only have eyes for you?!” Mnie chuckles, she moves her gaze to the sky and she marvels at how beautifully the stars decorated the night sky.


    Mr Gordon smiled and release his head from her back. He turns her around to face him, and she did stare at him with the perfect expression he had pictured in his head.


    “Do you know what you and the stars have inmon?” he asks, holding her hands in his hand.


    Mnie shook her head nervously. “No, I do not know.” she smiles.


    “The star shines brightly, lighting up the darkest night, and you shine brighter than the night star brightening up my world.” he smiles, while staring deep into her eyes.
