CHAPTER 15
ALEXIA P. O. V
"Hey Tyl, plans changed l can't make it" I told Tyler over the phone
"What,why?" He asked
"I got work to do unlike you"
"Hey, I also got work to do sometimes I just thought you could make time for me today besides aren't you a CEO or something can't you just hand it over to another person l don't get why you even decided to start up a company is not like you need the money can't just make time for your old pal" he whined
"I started because I didn't wanted to be meddlesome and jobless like you and besides we can have dinner another time"
"What's so important about that work that you can't ditch it, is unlike you to reject my offer when l practically beg for it"
"You didn't beg for anything, besides it wasn't my choice to be indoors working on some dumb report l was forced to this" I said
"By who?" His tone suddenly became serious
"No-one, l wasn't forced to anything, forget l said something" I forgot Tyler wasn't one to be messed with especially when it comes to me at times, he does things really unexpected and deadly
"Alexia,if someone is troubling you, you know you can tell me right?"
"So that you can dip him inside a pot of hot oil again,no thank you l learned my lesson the last time besides there's nothing I can't handle or have you forgotten? "
He chuckled"of course not, sweet cheeks but do promise me if someone is troubling you or if something happens you'll tell me" he's tone was dead serious
"Of course of course, I promise l'll tell you okay? No need to act all serious with me" I tried to laugh off the tense atmosphere but Tyler mind was elsewhere
"Hmm, text me whenever you are free for the dinner" and with that the call went off
'Odd' l mumbled this wasn't Tyler usual self, he didn't even bid me a goodbye, was it because I said something about being forced? No it seems more than that, I hope he's okay maybe I should check up on him
Just then a text came through, it was from an unknown number the text contains the address of a place "hmm must be from Mr Slade" l said, all my worries for Tyler were suddenly flooded with anger as l remembered Mr Robot whatever
And then a thought came to me, l smirked "is time to have some fun", then l called Clara
"Hey what's up girl" her chirpy voice sounded over the phone
"Oh well, nothing much is just that your brother suggested with have a little get together party if you are up for it"
"Of course l am up for it, but just curious which one of my brother's again?"
"Asher"I said
"Asher!!!.
"Yeah is there something wrong with that"I inquired
"Well no...erm.. yes .. is just that Asher isn't a party person l hardly go to his house maybe just a few times are you sure he really said that?
"Of course why would I lie?, and if you can l would really appreciate if you invited your other brother and Naomi too after all the more the merrier "I grinned
"Well.... sure l can invite them, meet you there?"
"Meet you there" I nodded
'time for payback' knowing Mr Robot these past few weeks l know that he can't deny his sister anything even if she shows up at his house unexpected and after interacting with his brother at the Slade's l observed that he doesn't care if he upsets his brother or not , I rubbed my palms Together while grinning then proceeded in completing the report after all l am going to deliver it.
I have been driving for hours that my hand started to hurt heck why would anyone want to live in the outskirts of the city. Finally l was at the address but it was locked l was about to bring out my phone to call when..... A voice interrupted
"You are welcome Miss Williams" an automated voice said to me while revealing a magnificent sight though it was quiet.
"That was easy" l mumbled
The mansion looms before me, its grandeur and beauty shrouded in an aura of mystery. The exterior walls, once a golden stone, now seem to absorb the light around them, exuding a cold and dark vibe
"Why would anyone want to stay in such a remote and lonely place like this no wonder he's a Robot"I muttered while walking further into the mansion
"What was that Miss Williams?"
He's cold muscler voice sounded behind me, l quickly turned around... And l wish l didn't. He was wearing a plain black t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans which looks strange to me because I was used to his formal attire, his hair was messy than the usual styled hair but then again what was l expecting is his house after all but l can't still help but stare at that perfect face of his, those eyes, those lips, were like it was calling for me, a little strand of hair was hanging from his face and my fingers were inching to move it away from his face and l didn't even realize that my fingers were moving on their own will but then my senses rush back and l quickly retrieved my hand and step back like l was shocked by an electricity
Um...*clears throat* "l'm sorry, Mr Slade" I apologize, my face as red as tomato
"Hmmm" his tone sounded rather disappointed and when l looked up his eyes were dark and peering into me, l felt goosebumps until ...
