Chapter 4

• "I'm tired of listening to the same topic everyday. How many times am I going to tell you that I don't want to work in the company?" Christian said with an angry tone.
• "If you're tired then leave my house."
• "I don't just understand why you hate me so much." Christian's eyes flared up.
• "I don't hate you; I despise you. You're just as worthless as your mother."
• "Oh, that I wouldn't let you say." Christian growled. "Let me remind you that my mother helped you in building the Empire you so much cherish more than your own son."
• "How dare you…!!" Matthew was cut short as the butler approached their table.
• "Pardon my manners, sirs, but Sir Christian you've a guest by the name Scarlett. Should I let her in?" The butler announced, his head bowed.
• "Yes, Mr Walter. Let her in." Christian replied, his lips curling up into a smile.
• She was already here. So quick.
• "Your wish is my command, Sir Christian." Mr Walton said and exited the dining room.
• "And who is that?" Matthew questioned his son.
• "I forgot to tell you; I want to introduce an important person in my life to you." Christian said, smiling.
• "What?" Matthew's face crinkled up in disgust. "And you didn't think of informing me first before telling her to come here."
• "Father, I'm sure you would like her when you meet her."
• "I don't even like you, that is my son and you expect me to like someone you bring home to me." Matthew scoffed, already losing his appetite.
• Christian rolled his eyes, deciding to ignore his father.
• ***
• As soon as Scarlett entered through the door, Matthew couldn't take his gaze off her body.
• She was blonde and had dark-green eyes, and was putting on an above-knee-length, strapless green gown that exposed her cleavage.
• Christian stood up from his chair and started walking towards her with a broad smile. He said something to her before kissing her on the lips.
• "I hope you reached here without any trouble."
• "Yes, I did." She replied in a sweet voice.
• "Okay, my love. Let me introduce you to my father, then I'll show you my room." He said, holding her hand, and started walking towards the dining area to introduce her to his father.
• "Father, this is Scarlett, my girlfriend and the woman I wish to spend the rest of my life with. And, Scarlett, this is my father, Matthew White." Christian introduced them.
• Matthew's eyes not leaving Scarlett, he shook her hands with her then bent down to kiss the back of her hand.
• Scarlett's cheeks reddened.
• She couldn't believe she was meeting Matthew White face-to-face and he was kissing the back of her hand.
• A man in his fifties still looking young and handsome.
• 'Oh, money is good.' she thought, dreamingly.
• "It's nice to meet you. My son just told me about you." Matthew said, smiling.
• Scarlett faked a frown when she heard Christian hadn't told his father about her.
• "It's a pleasure to meet you, sir. Christian has told me a lot about you." She replied with a broad smile.
• "Well, I hope he told you the good part." Matthew joked and Scarlett chuckled.
• Christian watched them, unsure of what was happening. He didn't expect his father to like Scarlett in an instant or for Scarlett to dress this way.
• "Hmm, since I've introduced you two," he said. "Father, I would like to show Scarlett my room."
• "No, boy." Matthew shook his head. "Let her have lunch with us before you show her your room."
• After a few minutes, Matthew got an important call and excused himself from the table.
• "That's unexpected." Christian said and sighed. "I didn't expect him to react the way he did."
• Scarlett smiled. "I didn't expect it either."
• "Should I give you a tour of the mansion?" Christian asked.
• "Yes, I would love that. But we can do that tomorrow." She said, smiling, and taking a sip from her juice.
• Confusion was written on Christian's face. "What do you mean by tomorrow?"
• "I can't believe you live in such a beautiful house. It's practically a castle." She gasped, looking around. "Can I stay here for a few days?"
• "What?" He asked in shock.
• "Can I, please? I know the request is coming all of a sudden but I just want to spend some time with you." She pleaded but continued when she saw the hesitation on Christian's face. "Moreover you've introduced me to your father and I think he likes me. I'm sure my staying here for a few days wouldn't bother him."
• She took his hand in hers, biting her lip, and looking at him with those puppy eyes.
• He stared back at her, his gaze intent…his heart was racing.
• "Fine. You know I can never say no to you if you look at me with those eyes." He sighed.
• "Thank you."
• He pulled his head down to hers, and they shared a heated kiss as his arms brought her flush against him.
• "I can't wait to have you in my bed." He whispered into her ears.
• ***
• AT NIGHT
• Matthew was totally engrossed looking at something in a book while walking in the hallway, when he bumped into someone. He looked up from his phone and saw it was Scarlett. She was wearing a pink babydoll night dress and her hard nipples were visible through it.
• Matthew swallowed a lump in his throat.
• "I'm so sorry, Mr White. I did not see you coming." Scarlett apologised.
• "It's alright." He said. "What are you still doing here?"
• "Christian said I could stay here for a few days. I hope it's okay, sir." She said,
• "I prefer being called Matthew rather than Sir," He said with a smile. "And, of course, it's okay. You can stay here as long as you like."
• "Thank you, sir, I mean Ma–Matthew." She replied, returning his smile.
• "No big deal." He told her.
• "Good night, s–Matthew," she chuckled and started walking away.
• Matthew smiled as he watched her leave, then he turned around towards the direction of his study.
