Chapter Fifteen
Erica stood in front of the mirror getting dressed for her busy day. Ava left an hour ago. Sometimes she wished Ava worked with her in the company so that they could keep each other company.
Olivia just avoided her ever since she gets to know the truth about her real job.
She wore a short gown with a jacket on it, tied her hair into a clean ponytail as some of her hair fell, covering some part of her eyes.
She wore a shoe who short heels and grabbed her bags.
“Aren’t you going to wait for me?” George asked with toast stuffed in his mouth.
“I can’t. I have to report to Calvin’s house before going to the company”
“Oh, farewell then” George replied and continued eating.
Erica just smiled and walked out of the house. She flagged down a cab and entered into it.
“Crystal estate!” She said.
He nodded and quickly drove off. She wondered how many hours it would take her to get to the estate.
She saw the driver as he drove into an estate. It was the Crystal estate.
“What the…” She murmured and turned back, she could still see her brother’s house.
“Argh” she groaned in frustration.
.
The driver drove in for about three minutes before pulling over.
She alight from the car and paid the cab driver.
She watched him as he drove away.
“If I’d known it wasn’t far, I wouldn’t have wasted my money” she said and walked towards the huge gate.
She touched the gate and then suddenly hear a voice.
“Name and who do you seek?” She heard the voice from a speaker beside the huge gates.
“I’m Erica, here to see Calvin. I mean, young master” she quickly corrected.
The gate flung open by itself. She walked into the house in amazement. It was just like the mansion in Paris but this is a smaller. A wow escaped her lips as she walked towards the entrance door.
A butler stopped her.
“You must be Erica. Come in” he said and led her into the house.
Every step she took left her in amazement.
They both walked up the stairs till they got to the hallway.
“These are the young masters room” he said and left.
“Uh… Which of…” Before she could ask any question, the butler left already.
She stared at the two rooms opposite each other.
“Why do they have to stay opposite each other? Arghh!” She complained.
It would be stupid of her to call him to pick her up. That was the last thing she wanted to do. She didn’t want to stress him or insult anyone again.
“Okay, Kelvin’s room is at the right hand side. Maybe he’s still at the same right hand side. Or he swapped, he’s in the left. Yes… Oh no, I think it’s still right” she said and knocked the left door.
“Come in!” She heard a faint reply.
She twisted the handle and walked into the room.
She looked round, looking for who told her to come in. The room was times ten the size of the one in Paris.
“What are you doing here?” He held a cold replied. She knew immediately that she had it was Kelvin’s voice.
“I think his room isn’t this one” she murmured and turned to stare at him.
“I came to…to..” she tried to lie, looking around if she could see anything to lie about.
“Apologise to me?” Kelvin asked.
“Sure. Yes, yes. That’s what I came here to do. I’m sorry, please forgive me” she said, calmly.
“I hold no grudges against you. Besides I’m not your boss” he said.
Erica lowered her gaze. She still can’t believe she said that to him that day.
She wished she could use his pillow to smack his face.
“I’ll leave now” she said and turned to leave.
“The door is that way” he said to her.
Erica frowned and left the room immediately.
“Such annoying brat” she murmured and knocked the other door.
“The door is opened!” She heard a soft reply from inside the room. She opened the door and walked into the room
“Good morning sir” she said.
“Oh Erica, you are here already!” He said as he buttoned his shirt. He was standing in front of the mirror.
“Yes sir”
He walked towards the table with his left hand in his pocket.
He picked his cup of coffee and sat on his dressing chair.
“Help me get my serene green suit jacket in the closet” he said.
She nodded and walked towards the door he pointed at.
“Holy moly!” She exclaimed softly.
The closet was so huge with different type of dresses with different color. She passed the accessories and saw different type of watch, rings and earrings. She rolled her eyes when she saw the earrings.
“I don’t even have up to this amount” she murmured.
She went to the suit section and became confused.
“Serene green?” She said again. There was a lot of green suit here but quite different. She grabbed anyone of them and walked to the room.
“Here!”
Calvin stared at her and sipped from his coffee.
“That’s not serene green” he said.
“Oh, okay” she muttered and went back to the closet.
“Serene green? How the fuck does it look like?” She murmured as she grabbed another one.
“Nope. That’s not serene green” he said.
She secretly groaned and went back to the closet.
“Oh please be serene green” she said as she grabbed another one.
Calvin shook his head. Erica sighed and turned to leave.
“Erica!”
She stopped and turned to look at him.
“This is serene green” he said touching his trousers.
Erica frowned. It looked just like white but not pure white.
She went back to the closet and brought out the serene green.
“Good!” He said and grabbed it from her.
He wore it and adjusted his tie.
“Fine, we are set to go” he said and they went out of the room.
Erica was tired already. She couldn’t believe that she walked to and fro the closet four times just because of Serene green jacket.
She wished he was just like Kelvin who either put on white or black suit. She wished to see his closet one day.
They all entered into the car and zoomed off to the office. Erica sat in the passenger sit while the twin sat at the back.
The drive was silent until Calvin broke the silent.
“Hey Barbie!”
“Fine just call me when you’ve landed” he said and disconnected the call.
“Barbie is on her way here” he said.
“Okay” that was Kelvin’s reply.
Erica wasn’t even happy that Barbie was coming. She didn’t feel comfortable with her at all.
She remembered her last words to her before they left Paris.
“I know she is coming to fulfil her promise” she thought.
They got to the company at last. Erica saw her brother and also Olivia but Olivia acted like she didn’t know her.
Erica didn’t even think about what she did.
“She must be very busy that’s why she did that” she thought and got into the elevator with them.
.
Hours later!
Erica was on her chair, she was twirling it around thinking of a solution to the problem that was in her computer.
“Hmm, got it!” She said and started doing her job. Calvin was watching her from his chair. He was impressed.
“Erica?” He called out.
She turned and stared at Calvin.
He stretched his hands, telling her to come.
She stood up and lazily walked towards him.
“Sir!”
“Uh, about that. Don’t address me as sir at home”
“Yeah, it’s young master” she said.
“Good. Aren’t you hungry? Cos I am!” He said.
“Oh” she murmured.
Immediately he stood up, he got a call from Barbie.
“Hey Barb! Really? We’ll be there now!” He said and disconnected the call.
“We?” Erica thought.
“Let’s go pick Barbie in the airport” he said.
As he took some steps, there was a knock on the door.
“The door is open!”
The secretary flung the door open. She wore a childish expression when she saw Calvin and Erica together.
“Your meeting starts in five minutes sir!” He said.
Calvin checked his wrist watch.
“Oh my… That’s true. I have a meeting to attend. You go alone or I should probably tell Kelvin to…”
“No, I’m fine. I can go alone” she said and quickly left the office.
Calvin sighed.
“Let’s go!” He said to the secretary and they left the office.
