Eryna sneaked out from the office to meet Hunter at the parking, she wasn’t sure what he had to show her. Eryna entered the parking. There were not many cars parked there as most of the people already left. Eryna looked around to find Hunter.
“Boo!” Hunter whispered in her ear from behind.
“Gosh!! Hunter! Are you planning on killing me?” Eryna held her chest and looked at him with a scared expression.
“Pfft! It’s so fun,” he chuckled.
“Sigh! So what is there that you had to show me?” Eryna asked.
“Hmm...well I called you here for two reasons, one was about the model for our jewellery and the other is!!—“ he stopped.
“What?! Tell me?”
“Mommy!!”
“No way!” Eryna was shocked, she looked around to see Simba running over to her with his arms wide open, Eryna was left speechless, her eyes watered suddenly when she felt his arms around her legs. It had been so long since she had felt his presence around her,
She looked down at the kid rubbing his face against her skirt.
“My love…” Eryna crouched down and hugged him tightly, she kissed his cheeks and hugged him again.
Hunter stood a few steps away from them looking at them with love, Eryna glanced up at Hunter with a thankful gaze.
‘Thank you so much!’
“Mommy! Were you surprised?” Simba pulled his hands away for a while and asked excitedly.
“Mommy was surprised- mommy was very surprised,” Eryna mumbled.
Eryna got up and picked up Simba in her hands,
“Wanna have dinner with mommy?” Eryna gave her bag to Hunter as she spoke to Simba.
“Can we?” He asked with his soft voice.
“Why not! Let’s eat delicious food tonight,” Eryna spoke in a childish voice and carried Simba to Hunter’s car.
They got seated in the car while Hunter started the engine,
“What do you want to eat?” Eryna asked.
“I want to eat chicken,” Simba replied while pulling Eryna’s hair.
“Sure, I will bring my son to a special place where we would eat delicious chicken,” Hunter added.
…………………………………………….
“So how was the surprise? Did you like it?” Hunter asked in a proud tone.
It was dark outside as Hunter drove through the road, Eryna had the sleeping Simba in her arms and she was staring at his innocent face when Hunter asked.
“It was the best surprise anyone could have ever given me,” Eryna replied with a grateful tone.
“It was fun—we met like this after a long time,” Hunter muttered.
“Hm...you are right, it used to be fun when we were abroad,” Eryna added.
The conversation started to flow in a direction they wanted to avoid so Hunter changed the topic.
“What about the ambassador? Did you choose anyone from the pictures I showed you?” Hunter asked.
“I wasn’t looking, I was too busy feeding Simba,” Eryna replied in a lazy tone.
“I knew that, that is why I will send them to you, Be sure to give me the final answer within two days,” Hunter replied.
“Okay, I will do that,” Eryna replied and looked at the road, it was just a few minutes before they would reach the mansion.
“I will miss Simba,” she kissed him in the cheek as she spoke.
“Don’t be sad I will sneak him to the office once in a while, you can meet him then,” Hunter answered in a jolly tone.
The car stopped in front of the gate and Eryna placed Simba on the seat, She glanced at him for a last time before turning around.
She walked in through the gate, it was a long walk until she reached the mansion’s main door, it was open. Eryna stepped in to the brightly lit mansion,
“Back to reality…” Eryna muttered as she walked up the stairs. Her mood was quite better as compared to the day, she felt fresh. She walked into the room without knocking and to her surprise Micah wasn’t in the room.
She threw herself on the bed and stared at the ceiling with a smiling face, Simba’s face danced before her eyes and she chuckled lightly. In the middle of her day dreaming she heard a phone ring. At first she ignored it because it wasn’t her phone but the phone kept on ringing and the caller wasn’t getting tired of calling.
“Gosh!! What is wrong with this person,” Eryna stood up and looked at the phone on the side table,
“Why did he leave his phone here?” Eryna frowned and looked at the caller ID that showed “Unknown Number,”.
“Should I pick it up?—nah! He would probably think I was spying on him, but-but why does it keep On Ringing!!” Eryna had no other option then to attend the call, but she didn’t speak and allowed the person on the other end to speak up.
“Micah?! You finally picked up my calls!”
‘What is this? Who is this lady with a sweet voice?’ Eryna thought to herself as she looked at the screen once more.
The caller was a woman with a sweet voice, Eryna didn’t speak up.
“How have you been? Are you eating well?”
‘Yes he is eating!! He is even eating the portion that belongs to the other people,’ Eryna shouted inwardly.
“I am coming back to the country, I know what I did to you was unfair but-could you give me—“
“What are you doing with my phone?” Micah crawled out of nowhere and spoke with a loud and scary voice, Eryna felt like she had committed a grave crime.
“I am so sorry, it’s just the phone was ringing nonstop so I—“
Micah pulled out the phone from her hand and took it to his ear,
“Who is it?” He asked.
The person in the other end said something that made Micah freeze, his complexion paled and his gaze slowly paused on Eryna. She felt cold creeping through her bones, the expression Micah had on his face was enough to suck the life out of Eryna, she knew she had done something wrong.
“I am sorry! I didn’t mean to attend that call,” Eryna apologied.
Micah’s face slowly grew red and his eyes became blank, Eryna finally understood why the people in the mansion were scared of him,
“Get out!!” A sharp voice came out of Micah’s mouth,
“I am sorry,”
“I said get out!! And don’t let me see you again!” Micah growled he was fuming with anger.
Eryna felt her heart sink, she slowly retreated and walked out of the room.
She closed the door behind her and ran away to her own room.
The butler saw her run away so he followed her,
“Miss! Wait,” he called out.
