Chapter 131 - One Hundred And Thirty-one : Isabella Left (1/2)

Maya's POV

Isabella is a terror, the girl is impossible! I spent the whole night nursing her to good health. It was almost as if I was her maidservant instead of ex-nanny.

Thanks to her, I pulled an all-nighter, tending to her royal highness, and went to bed in the early morning after she successfully slept off without waking up and whining about the itchiness.

Hours later, I groaned and turned to the side when the hot sun filtering through the window hit my face.

Hot sun? Was it afternoon? Just go to bed, Maya.

For sure, I slept off but sometime later felt something tickle my ear. I murmured incomprehensible words and scratched that itchy area, before returning to sleep.

Not long later, the tickling sensation moved to my nose making me swat it away with my hand but the mischievous tickler was persistent until I decided enough was enough.

The first thought in my head was Isabella: she was the only person capable of pulling such a prank.  But I was short of words when I made contact with blue eyes and sexy red lips pulled to the side in a smug smirk.

Eden.

I sat upright, ”What the f*ck !”

Seeing Eden lounging on my bed while twirling a feather nonchalantly in his right hand, did nothing to ease the irritation on my face.

Why did he wake me up from my beauty sleep? I didn't want to go back to Isabella's tortures!

”You're such a heavy sleeper ” he provoked me, first thing in the morni...afternoon?

Looking out the window and checking out the walk clock, told me it was mid-afternoon. How long did I sleep exactly?

Eden continued,” I was beginning to wonder if you were Sleeping Beauty ”he grinned cheekily and added,” I was contemplating waking you up with a kiss ”

”Eww” I scrunched up my face, giving him a look of disgust. I hadn't even brushed my teeth yet, why would he want to kiss me. I trembled, Eden was definitely abnormal.

Ignoring the weird pervert, I went into the bathroom and did the early morning ritual - brushed and bathed. Yet, I was surprised when I walked into my room to discover Eden had not left, what was he still waiting for?

”Even if I'm signed under your company, I still deserve some privacy. Wouldn't it be a scandal if this goes out to the media? ”

He stood to his feet after receiving my criticism, but not to leave; Eden was walking towards me with an odd gleam in his eyes.

I had washed my hair, so I wrapped it with one of the wet towels to prevent it from dripping water on my body while my bare body was secured in a red thick bathrobe, tied to the side with its sash.

I didn't take my eyes off him neither did I step back, just watched him intently and wondered what he was up-to.

Eden kept on stepping towards me until we were in close proximity. He lowered his head while I had no choice than to lean back, the pose straining my waist.

I blinked confusedly ”What are you doing? ”

His eyes rove over my body in a way that made me shiver, ”Imprinting your size in my head ”

My eyes went wide while my cheeks flushed from shock and I found myself abruptly returning to my straight pose without him leaning back and so bumped into him.

His hand came around to hold me on the waist in order to hold me in place but his action further molded me against him.

Our noses were touching and he was staring me straight in the eyes, this awkward yet intimate pose made my heart slam against my chest as it went into double time. I could feel his hand on my body and it was moving downward slowly, en route to my bum.

”Nice try ” I grabbed his wandering hand and squeezed it to the point of causing him pain but he didn't show it on his face and instead smiled up at me which irked me.

”I need to know your body proportions since you would be under me in the future in case of events where I would need to send outfits ”  Eden explained righteously.

”Wow ” I exclaimed dramatically, ” You're the most hardworking CEO I've ever seen, you're the best. ” I gave him a thumbs-up and continued with heavy sarcasm.

”A president who takes the time to check his worker's body size must be given the Nobel prize ”

He laughed at my words but didn't give me a reply.

”So you personally examine the sizes of all the female artists under you?” I ridiculed him

Eden chuckled, flashing his neatly arrayed set of white teeth ”No, I don't. But I am willing to offer privilege services to a certain person”
