ARE YOU REALLY THAT DUMB?

Anna became scared in her seat, she became stiff and looked around cautiously for booby traps. Then she remembered a question that had been dying to ask him.

Ken…she said turning towards him " who takes care of that big mansion, who cooks and cleans because I don't see anyone else there? Don't tell me your house cleans itself automatically too, I also know that you can't be the one doing all the chores, so who does it?

Ken looked at her and chuckled at how dumb she was to have harboured such stupid thoughts " this is the 21st Century I will not have a maid live in my house, besides I live alone so my house hardly ever needs much cleaning."

He looked at Anna's expression which showed that she didn't get the answer she wanted to hear, and she didn't even understand whatever he said.

He shook his head in disappointment " are you really this dumb? My maid, gardener and cook come and go. I like living alone. I value my privacy", he said.

Anna realised that she had done something really wrong to have barged into his room without permission but of course, she didn't apologise for anything. After all, she was invited to the house, it's not her fault that he didn't have anyone in the house to tell her what to do.

She decided to keep quiet for the rest of the journey. She only glanced at him occasionally in admiration. He looked really cool when driving.

From the way, his jade black hair fell on the side of his face, to his golden-brown eyes, full eyebrows, a high bridged nose, his sharp jawline and finally his thin rosy pink lips.

Everything about his physical appearance was heavenly like he had just come down from heaven.

They finally got to a boutique where they were supposed to pick up clothes for Anna.

He stopped in front of the boutique and looked at Anna.

"Are you gonna come down and select what you wanna wear or should I go get it for you?" Said Ken.

Anna looked down at herself and realised that if she let Ken buy it, he would have to also buy her underwear. Which was embarrassing but her walking in there with just a white shirt was worse.

Ken realised what she must be thinking. He quickly stood up and walked out of the car and turned around to her side of the door.

He pulled open the doors, arranged his suit to cover her properly and then 'swoop' he carried her.

Anna was shocked and screamed," what are you doing Ken? Let me down!!! Stop it is embarrassing ".

He just looked at her coldly and said " shhhhhhh hide your face in my chest if you are embarrassed ".

Anna was dumbfounded; she immediately stopped her tantrums and hid her face in Ken's chest.

Ken was forced to smile at her cute attitude. The smell of her hair wafted into his nose. He felt like leaning his head onto her head and breathing in her womanly scent of fresh roses.

But he didn't want to look like a pervert so he just controlled his feelings.

He carried her Princess style into the exclusive boutique. Everyone couldn't help but stare at the prince charming carrying his princess. They Immediately recognised him and knew that he was the rich CEO who had been rumoured to have been gay.

Some believe it but some just couldn't since no proof had been brought up to support that claim. Seeing him carrying a woman and looking at her so tenderly they knew that she wasn't just a friend or client.

They kept wondering who the handsome, rich guy was carrying. Some people even started taking sneaky pictures and whispering gossip about the two.

But when he walked by, they would quickly keep quiet and act like they didn't see anything. I mean who would want to offend such a big catch.

Ken walked up to the counter with Anna in his arms. The receptionist immediately stood up nervously. " Good morning CEO Ken, which section will you be visiting today?".

"The female VIP section now!!" He spoke with so much power in his tone that the receptionist was shaken.

She immediately started making calls to the department responsible.

" The CEO is here preparing the female exclusive VIP room quickly and he is on his way "

The person on the other line was confused and said " So the rumours were true he wants to finally embrace his feminine side"

The receptionist understood what he was thinking and screamed " He wants to shop with our future madam dummy. I can tell that he loves her" she said and gave a pause.

"Now hurry we don't want to make the CEO's hands sore, he is carrying her".

The manager on the other line finally understood the urgency of the matter so he hung up immediately and started passing commands to the employees.

Anna had heard the way the receptionist had referred to him. It finally struck her that this was one of Ken's many boutiques.

'Wow, just how rich is he?' She whispered to herself. But with their closeness, he heard her and said proudly " I guess we will never know"

Anna held her hand over her mouth shocked but she couldn't help but ask " you mean you don't know your net worth?"

"How am I supposed to know? There are some things I have bought that I have forgotten that I even own," he said without a single form of unseriousness written on his face.

Anna was surprised at how life could be so unfair to some people and greatly favour others.

They were ushered into the VIP room by an employee. Ken walked into the room with Anna in her arms and gently put her down on the sofa.

"All male staff leave the room at once!!! " he said with authority. All the male staff immediately scrambled out of the room like headless chickens.

He didn't want any other guy staring at his woman's body.

The two female staff present were all filled with jealousy. At how Ken treated Anna so specially. They looked at her and their jealousy increased, they wished they were her.

"Get an official outfit for the beautiful lady," Ken said, looking at Anna only.

The two women started scrambling about looking for their CEO's order.

Ken called out to them and said "please let it be something glamorous and attractive."

Anna looked at him in shock " And why is that?"
