NANNY AFFAIR

Chapter 16

"Careful little one, you are on speaker. Am in a meeting." he spoke.

The moment he said that I was paralyzed. The hell was he thinking. I put myself together and remained calm.

"How many people?" I finally asked.

"Maybe fifty or more." he answered.

"What! Max when you get back home am killing you." I dared him.

"Love you too Mis Anny Palmer."

With that I ended the call. How can he do that. At one point I was glad, he made it official. Am sure the meeting held his business partners. Maybe he'll one day introduce me as his girlfriend.

"Anny are you okay?" I heard Gabby's voice.

"Yah! Am good."

We both got in the car. Jerald drove our car while two cars escorted us. One in the front and one at the back.

MAXIMILIAN POV

I watched her sleep before I did. A quick nap was supposed to get me some time before I disappeared for a week. This was enough time for her to think about what she wanted. I feel like she's holding back.

When she was breathing softly I knew then it was my time to take action. Didn't want to see her sad when I leave. We just slept together and now I was about to tell her I'd be gone for a week. That could break her and she'd see me like a guy who wanted her just for the body pleasure.

Lucky me I was already prepared. My suitcase was hidden in the inner room just incase she would roam around. There I was slowly untangling myself from her embrace. We had cuddled for a nap.

I hurried to where my traveling bag was and took it. When I saw her turn I bed, I was frightened for a second there. Seeing her sleeping face made me at ease. Down the stairs I walked.

"Ready." I directed it to Lukah who was busy giving orders to the main chef.

"I guess I am."he responded.

" Gabby take care of Anny for me and don't wake her up yet. She's tired after last night. I bragged.

We both walked away. In my basement parking area, I gave strict orders for Jerald Park, the leader of my body guard team, to look after Anny. I was sure she'd want to go for a walk or shopping. We drove off to the airport.

In London I was supposed to have a meeting with the board members and stakeholders instead I joined them all. I had no time to waste. Then I got a call from Anny. I didn't want to face her wrath in my ear so I put it in speaker. Everyone in the conference hall was dead silent listening to our conversation.

The moment Anny dared me I knew I was a goner. Everyone looked at me smiling. Some talked amongst themselves in low tones. Am pretty sure that was gossip. Not once have I ever received a call from anyone in the middle of a meeting, yet today here I am.

I'd never let anyone talk to me the way she does. She even went to the extent of daring me, when I get back home she'd kill me. What made me happy was that she called my house her home. For a while I've been meaning to ask her to move in with me, but I guess it's too early for that.

I held it in for the fear that it might change her mind about being with me. At the end of our conversation I made sure to remind her that I loved her before the line died.

"Umm! Sir is that your girlfriend?" One of the members asked.

"Yes she is." I answered proudly.

In the back of my mind I knew that I had not asked her about it but to me she was already mine. I slightly smiled before we resumed to serious business.
