I struggled with pushing last night's heated kiss away as I took a shower and went down to an eerily empty house. Well, not empty since the bodyguards who normally stayed behind, the maids, the doctors and hell, even my dad were still around. Just weirdly, it felt a little empty. I had expected Carl to be at the dining table, or the couch, somewhere, but he had apparently left without me. Weirdly, I felt more hurt than I should.
"Ma'am. Sir has asked me to drive you to the office." A bodyguard said to me, as if reading my mind.
I gave a small nod and immediately followed him, making a mental note to make a fuss about it. I kept my head in the clouds throughout the entire ride and the slight jerk brought me back to reality.
"We are here, ma'am."
"Thank you."
"You are welcome."
I stepp
