Chapter 28

Arriving at the mansion, Darren was greeted with a tradition that he thought was disgusting. Maids and bodyguards lined up neatly along the entrance. They all bowed. To him, such a sight was very dull. He would rather everyone be subject to respect than to tradition.

He looked disdainfully at the maids and bodyguards as he walked to his room.

The owner of the six-pack body is seen lying on a king-size bed while shirtless, showing his abdominal muscles that look very tempting. Anyone who saw it would indeed swallow saliva.

Darren was staring at the ceiling room. He was thinking about his plans to open a new branch in Seoul, Korea. However, what crossed his mind was the owner of the beautiful face, Flower Carnabel.

"Lord, what happened with me? Why won't her face leave my mind?" He rubbed his face repeatedly.

"Lord, why does she look real to me? She to be smiling at me. Am I hallucinating?" Once again, he pats his cheek.

The man changed his position from sleeping to sitting. Over and over again, rubbing his eyes. However, Flow's smiling face at him looks real.

Darren doesn't want to sink into hallucinations. He rushed to the bathroom and washed his face with cold water. "Lord, why doesn't her face also disappear from before me?" Then rubbed his hand against the large mirror in front of him.

Because Flower's face constantly looks in front of him, making his sleep disturbed. So he decided to get out of the mansion.

Without direction and purpose, DARREN EWALD GILBERT drives the car at high speed.

Some people might think that he is crazy. However, that was how the man erased Flow from his memory.

After tired of driving without direction and purpose. Finally, Darren decided to turn the car to GILBERT AT LONDON APARTMENT.

Arriving at the location, the man immediately walks to the elevator. However, he pressed the top button, which was the VVIP floor, without the man knowing it. He hit the wrong number, so the elevator took him to the bottom where Flower's room was.

When the elevator doors opened, he was stunned by the scene before him. "This is not my bedroom floor."

The man immediately re-enters the elevator. However, he was holding the elevator door from closing when he saw the figure of the woman who had been bothering him all night, Flower Carnabel.

The presence of the man also made Flower gasp, "You?" Then she looked around. "What are you doing here?"

Darren smiled, then pulled the woman's hand so that she into the elevator immediately. He positioned Flower right in front of him. "Your position is blocking others from entering, Ms. Flower." He whispered in the woman's ear.

Even though they didn't touch each other, Flower could feel that heat was starting to spread along the skin on her back. She was made pounding until she repeatedly swallowed saliva.

Flower bit the corner of her lips while glancing at the numbers moving down. She took a deep breath when the elevator was moving very slowly. The problem point is not in the elevator but the woman's erratic feeling.

Once made, the heart pumps 1,000 times faster than usual. The elevator has arrived on the lobby floor. Everyone got out of the elevator, but Darren - Flower was still there.

The atmosphere became quiet because both were still silent. Darren or Flower, no one wanted to break the silence. They have felt their lips freeze. Only the beating of the heart echoed each other.

Luckily, Darren's cell phone rang, so the man had a reason to make a sound. "Wait upstairs. I'll be right back." Short, concise, clear, that's the sentence that slipped from his lips.

Flower's eyes narrowed. 'Wait above. What do you mean wait above? Oh My God, does that mean he also lives in this apartment?' Flower thought while closing her eyes.

Darren smiled when looking at Flower's expression. The man teased her, making her cheeks even redder. "Do you want to stay in here with me or get out of this elevator?" The baritone voice had brought Flower to her amazed. Clumsy, that's how the woman felt.

It was as if Darren could feel what the woman was feeling. He took the initiative to break up the awkwardness. "Ehm, where are you going on a night like this?"

Flower seemed to swallow hard saliva before starting the sentence. "To the supermarket." Short, concise, clear, that's the sentence that slipped from her lips.

"Then our goal is the same."

Flower is made to wonder. 'What does the same mean? Billionaires seem to want to visit a small supermarket?'

As if he could read the woman's mind. Darren explained that he came from a simple family because hard work made him the success he is today.

Flower was so embarrassed that her cheeks were red. Meanwhile, the man kept smiling a spoiled smile on the woman's expression, which he thought was very adorable.

"Ehm, what are you going to buy? Why not just ask the maid to buy it?"

Darren's question made Flower gasp. A sad smile appeared on her lips. 'Mr. Gilbert, what kind of stupid question is this? I'm not like you. I'm a supermodel and not a billionaire. A woman like me hasn't much money to pay a maid.' She muttered.

Seeing Flower daydream. The man flicked his fingers in front of a beautiful face. "Don't daydream, Ms. Flower. Is something bothering you? Tell me."

"There is not any."

"Are you sure?" Asked the man with a probing look.

Flower turned to the man. "Of course."

When you get to the supermarket, Darren immediately opens the door, making room for Flower to enter. "Please come in, Ms. Flowers."

As a reward for the man's sweet demeanour, Flower gave him a charming smile and Darren was melted by it.

While inside the supermarket, Darren just looked around. He didn't intend to buy something. His existence in this place was only to accompany Flower.

Meanwhile, Flower looked awkward. She also repeatedly squeezed her fingers. 'How do I take what I want to buy if Mr. Gilbert keeps following me?'

Darren turned to Flower, showering her with questioning looks. "From earlier, you're just looking around. Is the item you want to buy not here?"

Flowers didn't answer. She bit her lip.

"Okay, then let's go to another supermarket." Interlocking his fingers between Flower's fingers lead her to the parking area. However, his steps stop by the woman's melodious voice. "Mr Gilbert, wait!"

Darren turned to the woman. "Yes, Ms. Flowers."

"Looks like you don't have to take me to another supermarket."

Darren squinted. "Is the item you're looking for here?"

Flowers nodded.

Darren immediately crossed his arms in front of his chest. His gaze turned furious. "Then why not take it straight away? You made me confused."

Seeing Flower's doubtful face made Darren wonder. "Are you not bringing money? If you didn't. You don't have to worry. Just take as much as you want, and I'll pay for it."

"I brought money, Mr. Gilbert."

"Then what made you hesitate to pick up the item you wanted to buy? Tell me." Darren brought his face closer, staring intently at Flower. From this close distance, he wanted to kiss the lips of the woman who he thought was sexy and seductive.

Flower bit the corner of her lip, her heart pounding wildly. "Em, can you wait outside?"

"Why?" Darren asked with a probing look.

Without answering pushed Darren's back out of the supermarket. "Wait here!"

Darren narrowed his eyes at Flower, who had reentered the supermarket. "What does she want to buy? Why won't she let me see it?" He muttered as he crossed his arms in front of his chest.
