''yeah, Grandpa, I hope it will be a great success.''
''Hmm, that's good. It's good to see you go out of your way and do something huge for the company, I never doubted your competence, but now, I'm very proud of you. '' The old man drawled with a satisfied smile on his face.
He was really old now. These days, he couldn't talk loudly anymore and he was pushed around in his wheelchair; after dinner, everyone rested in the parlor and Grandpa had asked Nicklaus about Orica. He was very proud of Nicklaus after hearing what he was doing, although he wasn't surprised that he would take such a huge risk, he was very pleased.
Nicklaus was very much like his father, determined, goal-oriented, and focused. He had never regretted handing the company over to him_ never.
As they sat in the parlor, a certain man's face was blank but his mind was filled with different thoughts;
He had really underestimated Nicklaus.
He had died down the rumors of him being gay, if he made this project a success, Grandpa would never have a second doubt about him again and he would lose the chance to the company forever. How smart…
Douglas eyes blinked slowly and shifted to Nicklaus whose lips were moving as he explained his concept to Grandpa, and his head tilted to the side as he studied him.
Nicklaus boy, i liked you a little, but you tend to bite more than you can chew. Tsk tsk, you're really leaving me with no choice, no choice at all.
He heaved a sigh, pinching his brows as his eyes shut close.
''You're really the son of your father, boy. I'll love to see the outcome of your great plan. ''
''Thank you, grandfather ''
Nicklaus lips slanted to what looks like a smile and he squeezed Tiana's hands a little, as though wanting to be sure she was still there with him.
…
Tiana stepped out of the toilet, after she finished easing herself. Nicklaus was lying on the bed and tapping on his phone when she came out. She walked to the fridge and drank some water before going over to the other side of the bed. She had almost lain down when she remembered what happened the previous night and she stood back up immediately.
There were up-to six pillows on the bed, if she kept a few in the middle, it would prevent her from rolling over to his side, with that thought, she picked a few pillows and arranged it in the middle of the bed.
Nicklaus noticed her actions and turned to her, his brows creased. Tiana noticed his questioning gaze and chuckled lightly;
''Ah '' She exclaimed waving her hand; ''I have bad sleeping habits, when I sleep, I roll over, I'm just keeping them so I wouldn't kick you off the bed in the night, ha ha.''
She explained with a smile, her eyes curving into crescents. Nicklaus eyes widened and his heart skipped a beat instantly.
Wait… does it mean that she had rolled over to his side in the night, and when she woke up in the morning and realized what she did, she went back to her position?
Does it mean that… the object that touched him in the night was her?
Nicklaus heart slammed against his chest as he watched her, unable to speak.
Tiana was getting confused, why was he staring at her like that, was there something strange on her face?
''I'm serious, it's not because I'm scared… of anything happening, I really mean it, even last night, I rolled over and… ''
Tiana's eyes widened instantly as she realized that she had just exposed herself. She cursed internally biting on her lower lip.
At her statement, Nicklaus eyes widened in surprise, he sat up on the bed and swallowed hard, his eyes fluttering; he could hear his heart slamming against his ribcage as the question he was about to ask reached his lips.
''Beautiful, did you just say that you rolled over last night? ''
His voice resounded in the room, making Tiana tremble a little. He looked as though she had done something unbelievable and Tiana felt that she had crossed the line this time.
She had already exposed herself; it would do more harm if she tried to lie. Her hands clutched around the pillow in her hands as she bit on her lower lip nervously.
''Beautiful, answer me. ''
His voice rang again and Tiana swallowed hard.
''Yeah… it was in my sleep, I didn't know when I rolled over and when I woke up in the morning, I went back to my spot immediately. I promise… it will never happen again, I'll sleep well from now on… ''
Her words stopped at the tip of her lips when she noticed Nicklaus expression.
Instead of the anger she had presumed, Nicklaus was laughing like a maniac. Her brows creased as she wondered what had gone wrong with him.
''Beautiful, why did I meet you so late? Why? ''
He asked tenderly, rubbing his face with both hands.
Tiana was stunned. What just happened?
She watched him stand up from the bed and walk around to where she was standing, a cheerful smile on his lips.
''Beautiful, where have you been all my life? ''
Nicklaus asked, closing the gap between them and hugging her like his life depended on it.
Tiana was stunned.
Was he not angry that she had hugged him last night? What is he saying all of a sudden?
''Oh God, now I know why I couldn't get you out of my head! ''
Nicklaus exclaimed, his blood pumping out of his veins like a loose tap.
Why had she taken so long to come to him? If she had appeared earlier, then he wouldn't have suffered all those years alone.
''Hey, what is wrong? Are you not angry with me? ''
Tiana shifted her face away from his broad chest so she could speak; she could not understand a thing of what was happening.
''Angry? How can I be angry with you beautiful? I'm so happy. I feel so joyful, that my insides feel like exploding. I haven't felt this way in a long while, and it's all because of you beautiful.''
