The CEO’ s second choice novel Chapter 32

  Elena

  After our shower, I wrap a towel around myself, and Sebastian grabs one as well. I dry my body and suddenly feel very self-conscious while doing this normal thing because his eyes were on me. Willing him to look away, I dry my hair and hear him sigh.

  “You know, there is no need to sleep in separate rooms any longer,” he muses as he dries himself off and my eyes go to him. It made me think, though; was I ready to sleep in the same room as him, share everything including a bathroom and closet?

  Heck yes, I was.

  I smile. “Can we arrange for my things to be moved over to your room today unless there’s a room in this villa with a larger walk-in?” I ask him as a joke but then catch the naughty smile on his face and I raise my eyebrow. “Oh my gosh, there is, isn’t there?”

  He chuckled. “Of course there is. We can have the staff move things over today unless you would want to wait for a while?” he asks, a little defeated, but I shake my head. “I am ready for this marriage, Sebastian, and to start my life with you. There’s no need for us to be separated,” I answer and catch the shy smile on his face. Oh, Sebastian can get shy? I shall file this little tidbit away for later use.

  I give him a peck on his cheek and head towards my walk-in, contemplating what I would wear today. Eternally thankful for the heat in the closet as it was pelting down with rain and it just looks miserable outside.

  Sebastian stands at the doorway and looks at me, “I law truly what you want to study, Elena?” he asks me and this question caught me off guard. I never really thought about it since Nicholas brought it up. He had always said since I knew how to debate well, I should consider studying law. Then he mentioned Harvard, and it just stuck.

  “I am not sure, entirely. Nicholas was the one to broach the law subject, and it just stuck with me. I think I wanted to impress him so much that I allowed him to mould me into something I wasn’t. Harvard was his idea as well.” I say as I slip on my bra and panties before walking up to my thick black stockings and sliding them on.

  “Then I suggest you think long and hard about your real future, love. Not the future Nicholas chose for you. I have the means and capital, all I need is your dream and I will bring it to fruition. I know you will never be the socialite type and I do not expect you to be. You are ambitious and I will not allow you to stay at home and do nothing when your soul yearns to be free.” He says as he crosses his arms over his chest.

  This truly made my heart melt, and I was close to tears. What did I truly want to do with my life? I will most certainly need to think this through. He’s correct in saying that I was not the socialite type. I couldn’t stand the formality of being an heiress of noble blood. So what should I study?
