Shadows of Desire A Night With Him

📞No! Sis, you're trending. Your picture is everywhere!

📞What!" Irene exclaimed.

📞You mean you don't know?" Damien asked.

📞I don't know anything! I switched off my phone cause of the countless messages i was receiving and i only switched it on few minutes before you called.

📞Countless messages?" Damien asked.

📞Damien, right now. I'm stuck!

📞What's wrong?

📞 I..i gave out my contact to some ladies at the dinner party who admired my dress and want me to make the same for them" Irene sat worriedly on the couch.

📞Wow! That's a good thing but Irene,you don't even have equipments anymore. H..how are you gonna do it?

📞I don't know too!

📞You shouldn't have shared your contact..

📞I did already, i don't know what to do.

📞How about you charge them and receive half of the payment, with eveything put together,you can get some equipment and ...

Irene was listening to Damien when she saw two unfamiliar men walked in, going towards the stairs.

📞Dam, I'm gonna call you later" Irene said, disconnecting the call.

"Hello! Who are you guys?" She asked, rising to her feet.

She walked closer to them and truly she has never seen their faces around here.

"Won't you guys say something? " She asked the bodyguards in the living room and just when one of them was about to speak.

Harold spoke up, slowly descending the stairs.

"I invited them over" he said.

"Ohh...okay" Irene said.

"But..." She was saying when she stopped.

Inviting them over doesn't mean they should just come in and not say hi to anyone and even proceed towards the stairs.

That's unruly!

"I'll be with Nola in the kitchen" Irene said.

"Okay" Harold said.

"Come with me to the garden guys" he added and Irene wondered what was going on.

Harold rarely allow anyone into his garden.

She shrugged and walked into the kitchen.

"I'm so sorry Nola"

"It's fine, i knew you brother was on the phone"

"Yeah" Irene rinsed her hands in the sink.

She continued helping Nola while she gave Damien's advise a thought.

Yeah.

That's what she's gonna do.

Not like she has any other choice.

"I want you to repeat the second story to me. It's so interesting" Ivory yawned.

She was laying on her bed with her blanket draped over her while Irene read bedtime stories to her.

"Okay" Irene said, repeating the second story.

She was halfway when she found out Ivory already slept off.

She sighed and slowly rose to her feet.

She walked out of ivory's room into hers and she deliberated if to change into her nightwear or just leave Harold's robe on.

She brought more nightwear from the house but still loves putting on his robe.

It's so comfortable on her body and the blissful dreams she do have while wearing this robe to bed is just so magical.

She shrugged and decided to leave the robe on.

Not like he's gonna question her.

It's hers now, he gave it to her already..

Irene felt so disappointed when she walked into the library and couldn't find Harold.

The fireplace was not lit and she knew Harold might not be coming into the library tonight.

Is he going to start avoiding her because of the kiss?

"Well.." she shrugged, moving closer to the fireplace.

She arranged some logs of wood into it and then lit it.

Harold might still come, he can't possibly be asleep by this time.

It's not so late.

She's just gonna read while waiting for him.

She selected a novel and went to sit in front of the fireplace.

**

"Wow" Irene yawned.

She was done reading the novel and Harold isn't here yet.

She stood up and put the novel back to it's place before walking out of the library.

"What the..." She said after seeing the two unfamiliar men again.

They were staring at her like she caught them doing something bad.

And why are they looking so dusty.

"Irene, you aren't asleep yet" Harold said behind her and she turned.

She was surprised he was looking dusty as the men.

What's going on?
