BXBX NOVEL Chapter 23 - Monitor Her
When Nicklaus finished dressing up, he walked to the window to check if the guards had the cars ready, when he saw that they were already waiting for him, he turned to leave the room, then something flashed in his eyes; he immediately turned to the window again;
She was staring at one of his cars intently as though there was something on it, his brows creased as he wondered what she was doing; he waited to know what she would do and suddenly she started walking towards the last car, when she approached, she lowered her head and stealthily go in, closing the door behind her.
Nicklaus was shocked to his spines. What in hell did she want to do?
He thought for a moment but couldn\'t find a good answer to his question, so he waited to see what she planned on doing;
\'\'Good morning, boss! \'\'
The guards greeted as he approached the cars; one guard rushed to the car in the middle and pulled it open for him; he got in and he closed the door immediately; the guards entered their respective cars and drove out of the compound;
Tiana scrunched up behind the driver\'s seat as she struggled not to make a sound; her heart was slamming against her ribcage as she watched the trees pass by; she waited patiently on her spot for the car to stop moving.
\'\'When we arrive, I want you to monitor the woman in the car behind us and give me feedback on where she goes to and who she meets; make sure you are not caught. \'\'
The guard was confused; how was there a woman in the next car and they didn\'t know about it? Did she sneak in?
He wanted to ask, but he kept his question to himself.
Nicklaus thought of something and took his phone and dialed a number, then put the phone on his ear;
\'\'Do not lock the car doors when you arrive. \'\'
\'\'Yes, Boss. \'\' The guard replied without questioning. Nicklaus ended the call immediately.
They drove into the underground garage at the company and quickly, the guard alighted and opened the door for him;
Tiana watched him walk away with his guards, a sweet smile on her lips;
This was the perfect way to leave the estate without taking permission from him. Now talk about being clever!
She was almost celebrating her victory when a thought suddenly occurred to her;
THE DOORS!!
What if the guards locked the doors!!
Her jaws immediately fell open as reality dawned on her. She had been thinking of getting into the car, but she never thought of how she would leave!
Beads of sweat dripped from her forehead as she imagined sitting in the same position for five hours or more!
But she couldn\'t be certain, he might have forgotten to lock the doors, just maybe, he was occupied with some random thoughts and forgot to lock the doors.
Tiana prayed earnestly in her heart as she stretched her hand to the door handle;
Shutting her eyes tightly, she pulled on it; her eyes opened in shock as the door opened; she was extremely surprised!
How could he leave the car door open in the middle of a garage, what if someone came in and stole it?
She wondered, but she didn\'t have time to think about cars. Quickly, she hopped out of the car and closed the door.
\'\'You\'re a good car; I\'ll buy you when I have a lot of money, okay? \'\'
She said to the car with a smile on her cheeks; looking at her reflection in the window, she arranged her hair. When she was done, she kissed the insides of her hand as she placed it on the car, as though telling it thank you before hurrying out of the garage.
She followed the exit sign and heaved a sigh of relief when she was finally out of the garage; the gentle breeze coming from the east swept past her face, making her eyes flutter. She wished she could be this free and not having to sneak around or seek permission before going out.
Heaving a sigh, she walked further out of the garage; after a moment, she turned to look at the building, and she awed at the magnificent skyscraper. She could barely see the end; she knew the Nicklaus family was damn wealthy, even a maid earned over four digits.
She knew from the very beginning that she didn\'t belong there and that Nicklaus was just using her to buy some time for himself, that was why she could not bring herself to get used living in that mansion;
She would just stick to the plan and pray that he lets her go after the five months was over, because she couldn\'t bear to be a mistress for the rest of her life to a man who didn\'t even like women to begin with!
Turning around, she walked out of the company and into the busy road;
Adrian\'s family were a little rich, so he had a car of his own; so she immediately called him to come pick her up at the company building.
Walking to a nearby shade, she sat down as she waited for him; and in the next ten minutes she saw his car pull up just beside her, she stood up and walked to him with a brilliant smile on her face;
Adrian stepped out of the car and walked to her; he planted a light kiss on her lips and opened the door for her to get in;
Tiana\'s lips flushed deep red, and she quickly entered the car;
As soon as she entered the car, she became scared; she had gone over to his house for dinner and his family members had seen her, what if any of them was around and had caught her kissing another man just in front of her \'boyfriend\'s \'company? What was she going to do? Or more precisely, what would Nicklaus do if he found out?
Tiana\'s heart hit against her ribcage as she realized the mess she had put herself in, she wished she had told Adrian that it wasn\'t possible for her to get out of the house; in fact, she wished the guard had locked her in the car; because at that moment, she felt like she was in a huge trouble.
Tiana waited for Adrian to enter the car and she quickly turned to him; a deep frown etched on her face
\'\'What was that for? \'\'
She asked angrily;
\'\'What? I can\'t kiss my woman again? \'\'
Adrian asked as though she had asked something abnormal.
\'\'Adrian, we\'re in front of his company for goodness\' sake, you could have at least waited for me to get into the car! What if someone had seen us? \'\'
She asked, her eyes filled with fear, fear of what might become of her and her sister if he found out.
