Sarah
“I am throwing this party around noon just because of you. Will it be good?” I found Pashley in the living room reading a book on the couch.
Her eyes snapped up to eye me casually, “Noon? Ok. Cool. Count me in.” She smiled and got busy with the book again.
“What are you reading by the way?” I went to her and plopped beside her.
“Found it in Justin’s study.” She showed me the book cover and again got busy.
Justin never allowed anyone to take the book outside his study.
“Justin is quite protective of his books,” I peeked into the pages she was reading, “How you managed
that?”
She turned her head towards me and smiled, “I did not ask for permission. Simple.”
She said with a wink and closed the book placing it on the table. She might have guessed that I won’t let her read in peace.
She was just a maid but was getting confident at horse speed.
“So. Who is your father?” In no way, I was trying to mock her but still felt her going stiff under my gaze, “I am sorry. I never wanted to hurt you.” I told her sincerely.
It was just an attempt to make conversation.
“I don’t know, Sarah.” She told me with a sigh.
“Don’t you want to find him?”
“I will. Once my contract ends here.”
“Then do ping me if you need any help. I would gladly help you even when your contract ends.”
This was again a sincere suggestion from my side because who will be happier than me if she would leave the mansion without creating problems in my life?
“Sure, Sarah. I will remember that.” She pursed her lips into a thin smile and picked up her book.

I did not like it when Sarah asked me about my father. But in the practical world, I might have to be prepared for this query.
Sarah had left but after that, I could not continue with the reading. So, I got up and went to the study.
Last night was hilarious when I touched Justin intimately. He even kissed my chin but after that, we just went to sleep without any further discussion.
After waking up when I recalled our conversation, I realized how immaturely I acted and how maturely Justin handled it.
He was not wrong when he said we both were adults and needed to act like it.
“Hmm” He looked up at the ceiling and pulled me more into his hard body, “I agree. If you were busy, then you would not have proposed that idea of us getting intimate.”
“It’s just…” I cleared my throat. Last night I felt so confident but now the same man was giving me a tomato–like blush, “I … You are handsome and …” He nodded at me… “And… I think… I kind of like you…” He nodded again raising his dark eyebrow, making me more nervous, “God! I am messing up!”
“Don’t do this to me, Ashley.” He whispered with little worry lines on his face.
