Chapter 63 - Come to my room, Tonight (1/2)

''I understand ''

She replied indifferently, waiting for his next command, her lips pursed into a thin line.

''Anything else you want to say to me? '' She asked when she saw that he wasn't saying anything. Nicklaus shook his head, putting his two hands into his trouser pockets.

''No, you may go in. '' He said, and she turned around and walked into the mansion, not wasting another second.

Nicklaus watched her steps' distance and just at that moment, he remembered something and quickly called her.

''Tiana ''

She turned to look at him, her brows creased;

Tiana's eyes widened and her face paled instantly at his statement;

Tiana pondered as she turned back to the house;

After taking her shower, she wore her undies and bra and pajamas before going upstairs to Nicklaus' room.

She knocked lightly on the door and when she heard him call her in, she stepped into the room.

Nicklaus was smoking a cigarette when she stepped in; her throat tightened as the strong odor wafted into her nostrils.

He smoked a lot. She wondered why his lips were still pink when he smoked so much.

''Sit. ''

Nicklaus said to her as she approached him in the parlor. He stood up and threw the cigarettes into a trash can, before returning to the parlor.

Tiana sat down on the couch opposite his as she waited for him to tell why he had called her.

Nicklaus watched her briefly;
