Chapter 24

Layla kept glancing from side to side in panic, not knowing what to do or say.

What was Nolan doing in Seattle?

She can't go there. That was the place where her worst nightmares resided.

Rosalie, Scarlet and Mike. At least he should have told her so she would prefer herself for this journey Incase anything happened.

The world is such a small place. What if she comes across Scarlet who knows about her pregnancy and then Scarlet meets Nolan. Scarlet being a person that blabs a lot will tell Nolan about her pregnancy, what then will happen?

Will Nolan deny her? What if he tells her to abort it? What if scarlet does something stupid if they come across each other.

A lot of what if's rang through her head and Layla became scared as hell that she unconsciously began to hold her tummy tight.

She was beginning to sweat a lot and anyone who would see her would think that she was in a sort of dilemma.

Well she was, she was not supposed to be seen or go to Seattle, a place where all her enemies reside.

Nolan began to notice Layla's strange behaviors and he glanced at her, trying to read if anything was wrong.

She was clutching her stomach tight and it looked as if she was in a daze.

He was about to ask if everything was alright, when his eyes caught something.

His pupils dilated the moment his eyes saw that, her first three buttons were undone and he could see her cleavages from where she sat, A clear view.

He wanted to look away but couldn't, his carnal desires resurfacing.

Everything that happened that night immediately came flooding back.

Her flawless skin that was spotless but burned bright red when he touched her.

Her soft moulds that fitted perfectly in his palm.

Those sounds she made each time he went in and out of her, those cried, they all came flooding back.

Something he had tried so hard to forget.

Now he wanted to grab her and fuck her right now to fill the vacuum that she had left empty.

Nolan clenched his fist as he tried controlling himself to keep his inner beast at bay.

While Layla was portraying what could happen in Seattle, Nolan was trying to control his carnal desires until he finally managed to ask.

"Are you trying to seduce me?" He asked in a deep velvety voice withheld a hint of mischief.

"Huh?" Layla gasped, snapping out of her daze as she turned to face him. She noticed that he was staring intently at her.

"Are you trying to seduce me?" He asked again as Layla frowned wondering what he was driving at.

His eyes traveled down to her exposed cleavages and Layla looked down also.

"Oh my gosh" she gasped as her face instantly turned bright red, she quickly buttoned up.

She was in so much hurry that she forgot to button her blouse.

Not only that, she usually wore a singlet inside her blouse, but today she totally forgot to do so, because of the hurry she used in getting ready.

"Good girl" Nolan's low voice vibrated as he looked away from her, he grabbed a bottle of water, gulping it down. But that didn't help at all.

Layla being in the same car as him suddenly felt suffocating for him, he needed some air.

He pulled off his tie and he unbuttoned the first two buttons, but that did not help at all.

"Roll down the glass" he instructed and the driver rolled the glass allowing fresh air to enter the car.

"Damn you" Nolan cursed under his breath, looking outside the window.

Layla and Nolan arrived at the hotel they were going to stay at during his business trip.

Layla tried all she could to avoid being seen by anyone she knows, anybody from her family.

Luckily for her Nolan was lodging at a five star hotel, so she was pretty sure scarlet would not be seen around here.

To book a room here was very expensive and was for the rich business men. So Layla was quite relaxed, the chances of meeting scarlet were low.

"Good day sir" the receptionist greeted, as Layla and Nolan stopped in front of the counter.

"Book me two rooms, we're going to be staying for two days" he requested as Layla sighed. In relief, they're only staying for three days. She could cope with that and do her best to avoid her nemesis here in Seattle.

"I'm sorry sir, only a room is available in the golden suite, I can book for a normal room if you want" she suggested waiting for Nolan's reply.

Nolan jaw worked as he took a glance at Layla who was standing quietly beside him.

There was no way he was going to book a normal suite and stay there and he did not want Layla to stay too far from him, she was very clumsy and was prior to making a mistake.

He thought hard and carefully for a long time before he finally spoke out.

"We'll take a room"

"Alright sir" Layla turned her head sharply to face him, what did he mean by they would take a room.

How was she going to survive three nights with him in the same room?

"Here" Nolan gave his card to the receptionist.

"Sit" Layla wanted to protest, but with my hard glare from him, she clasped her mouth shut.

"Here's your key card" the receptionist gave Nolan the key card together with his card and Nolan walked away from the counter as he headed to the elevator.

"The room is very big and there's a lot of space for you to stay away, '' he said as the both of them got into the elevator.

Layla frowned her face, the idea of sharing a room with him, not sitting well with her, she was fully aware that the room was going to be huge, but sharing a room with him, was a big No. Will they share a bed?

"I'll take the bed, you take the couch" he voiced out as if he read her thoughts, Layla could not do anything but scrunch her face in annoyance. How will she sleep on a freaking couch!!

He should have just booked a separate room for her instead, she was more than okay staying in a normal suite, what the fuck is going through that head of his?
