Chapter 5 Or I'm I not worthy?

The next day Luna woke up early and made a quick breakfast for the both of them. They had slept really late because Bella insisted on them celebrating her heavy pay cheque so she woke up with dark circles under her eyes. She had to apply a light make up to hide them. After everything, she hailed a cab and went to Carter corporations. On reaching, the retiring secretary oriented her, gave her Mr Carter's schedule and all the things required of his secretary. Half a day was spent on learning and getting comfortable with her job. She officially started her work in the afternoon. She realized that things weren't as complicated as she had thought in the beginning all thanks to the orientation.

In the evening, Luna sat with her boss in the backseat while the driver took them to his home. There was a very large distance between them and Ethan realized that she would take a very long time to be comfortable with him. Because she had wore a short skirt, it had shifted up and her thighs were somehow into view which distracted him. He decided to start a conversation so as to break the awkward silence in the car. "Tell me about your family Luna." "Ahm the family I know is the orphanage because it's where I have been. I have just left there to start a new." "Oh sorry about that. And your parents?" he asked with curiosity. "You don't need to be sorry about anything. The orphanage is really fine and about my parents I don't know. I heard that I was taken there as soon as I was born." He realized that she must have passed through a lot and his heart ached for her. He wanted to know everything about her but he decided to stop here for now. Luna realized that his boss lived in a secluded place and she heard that the Wilson street comprised of only high class people. The villas in here were sights to behold. When they reached, Luna was not surprised by the luxurious Villa since she didn't expect less from the CEO of Carter corporations.

The interior was more luxurious and Luna couldn't help but gawk at the modern furniture and interior designing. "Papa" Leah came shouting and jumped on him for a hug. The butler came and greeted them before leading them to the dining area. Luna was again dumbfounded when she saw the several luxurious dishes which were mouth watering laid on the table. They sat and as they were going to eat Luna interfered and said," Stop. We've not prayed before eating." Ethan was surprised since they honestly would not pray before a meal but he really found it amusing. Luna led them into a short prayer and they started eating. Leah then said," Aunt Luna is an Angel and Papa is the devil." "And why is that?" they both asked at once. "Aunt Luna prays while Papa doesn't pray." Luna chuckled and found the little one adorable. "Okay then little Leah you should also pray and you don't become like your papa. Right?" "Yes Aunt Luna." They continued having their meal.

Luna was wondering where Leah's mother was since they were only three on the table but decided not to say anything. Ethan on the other hand could not help but picture all the three of them as a complete happy family. He had reached to common terms with his heart and concluded that he had to pursue this woman by all means. She was different from all the other women he had seen and the fact that she had saved his daughter without knowing anything about her fuelled his decision. It's just that he was a man of few words and he was very patient. He didn't see any reason to rush when he had all the time in the world. After the harmonious dinner Luna checked her wrist watch and realized it was already nine in the evening and excused herself to go. The father and daughter duo didn't like her to go since they liked her presence but had nothing to do.

Ethan insisted on dropping her home and they sat in his car this side at the front since he was the one driving. It was a silent journey. On reaching he parked at the front of their apartment before saying," Thanks for honoring my invitation." "The pleasure was mine sir." "Can you do me a favor and stop calling me sir?" "But it wouldn't look good. You are my top boss." "But I want to be a friend. Top boss seems so distant. Or am I not worthy?" "Of course not. It would be my pleasure to be friends with my boss." "Okay, we are friends then?" "Yes sir, I mean sorry." Ethan kept quiet for about five seconds and then said," Good night Luna." "Good night si-Ethan," she quickly corrected and hoped out of the car then waved at him before she left for her house.
