NICOLE'S POV

I stood up with the girl in my arms and started walking towards my car when my driver saw me he opened the back seat door for me to put the girl in when it was done, i went to the front seat and got inside then the driver started the car.

The ride home was so peaceful until i heard the notification on my phone I took it out and read the notification it was from my most trusted man telling me that they have cleaned up after replying back another notification from work came reminding me of the meeting am suppose to attend.

Switching off my phone a while later we arrived at my place, it a house everyone would dream of but not me whats a house without family my thoughts ended after seeing the girl in the back seat straggling to stay awake as her eyes where already read from crying.

I stepped out of the car and opened her door she was hesitant at first but got out i started leading her inside the house when we entered the first thing that greated us was the silence.

"Welcome to my house i live alone come on i will show you the guest room" i said

She followed me up the stairs into the guest room

"on your left there's a wardrobe,  on you right the first there's the bathroom and toilet you can get a shower or bath let me bring you something to change in" before i could turn around i felt a hand stop me .

"it's fine, i know we are stranger but you  can stay here as long as you want i don't mind, it's a big house i do get lonely sometimes a little company won't hate will it we might even get to know each other"  after that he left i went to the bathroom and decided to take a shower.

I don't know how long i was there for but when i came out a sweatpant and t-shirt was on the bed, i knew that he's the one who left them here after getting dreesed.

I searched for the way to l the kitchen until i found it i got lot in admiring the kitchen that i didn't notice him sitting on the chair next to the counter someone cleared their throat it broke me out of my thoughts.

"sorry i was just amazed by how everything is well arranged and i didn't get you name"

"okay then in the morning i will drop you off tomorrow and there's some clothes in the wardrobe for my sister you can use,"

She was now done with washing the plates and looked tired
