"No! Sis, you're trending. Your picture is everywhere!
"What!" Disha exclaimed.
"You mean you don't know?" Lucien asked.
"I don't know anything! I switched off my phone cause of the countless messages i was receiving and i only switched it on few minutes before you called.
"Countless messages?" Lucien asked.
"Lucien, right now. I'm stuck!
"What's wrong?
"I..i gave out my contact to some ladies at the dinner party who admired my dress and want me to make the same for them" Disha sat worriedly on the couch.
"Wow! That's a good thing but Disha,you don't even have equipments anymore. H..how are you gonna do it?
"I don't know too!
"You shouldn't have shared your contact..
"I did already, i don't know what to do.
"How about you charge them and receive half of the payment, with everything put together,you can get some equipment and ...
Disha was listening to Lucien when she saw two unfamiliar men walked in, going towards the stairs.
"Lucien, I'm gonna call you later" Disha said, disconnecting the call.
"Hello! Who are you guys?" She asked, rising to her feet.
She walked closer to them and truly she has never seen their faces around here.
"Won't you guys say something? " She asked the bodyguards in the living room and just when one of them was about to speak.
Killian spoke up, slowly descending the stairs.
"I invited them over" he said.
"Ohh...okay" Disha said.
"But..." She was saying when she stopped.
Inviting them over doesn't mean they should just come in and not say hi to anyone and even proceed towards the stairs.
That's unruly!
"I'll be with Sophia in the kitchen" Disha said.
"Okay" Killian said.
"Come with me to the garden guys" he added and Disha wondered what was going on.
Killian rarely allow anyone into his garden.
She shrugged and walked into the kitchen.
"I'm so sorry Sophia"
"It's fine, i knew you brother was on the phone"
"Yeah" Disha rinsed her hands in the sink.
She continued helping Sophia while she gave Lucien's advise a thought.
Yeah.
That's what she's gonna do.
Not like she has any other choice.
"I want you to repeat the second story to me. It's so interesting" Summer yawned.
She was laying on her bed with her blanket draped over her while Disha read bedtime stories to her.
"Okay" Disha said, repeating the second story.
She was halfway when she found out Summer already slept off.
She sighed and slowly rose to her feet.
She walked out of Summer's room into hers and she deliberated if to change into her nightwear or just leave Killian's robe on.
She brought more nightwear from the house but still loves putting on his robe.
It's so comfortable on her body and the blissful dreams she do have while wearing this robe to bed is just so magical.
She shrugged and decided to leave the robe on.
Not like he's gonna question her.
It's hers now, he gave it to her already..

Disha felt so disappointed when she walked into the library and couldn't find Killian.
The fireplace was not lit and she knew Killian might not be coming into the library tonight.
Is he going to start avoiding her because of the kiss?
"Well.." she shrugged, moving closer to the fireplace.
She arranged some logs of wood into it and then lit it.
Killian might still come, he can't possibly be asleep by this time.
It's not so late.
She's just gonna read while waiting for him.
She selected a novel and went to sit in front of the fireplace.
**
"Wow" Disha yawned.
She was done reading the novel and Killian isn't here yet.
She stood up and put the novel back to it's place before walking out of the library.
"What the..." She said after seeing the two unfamiliar men again.
They were staring at her like she caught them doing something bad.
And why are they looking so dusty.
"Disha, you aren't asleep yet" Killian said behind her and she turned.
She was surprised he was looking dusty as the men.
What's going on?"
"Yeah..I'm not asleep yet, i was at the library" Disha said.
"Waiting for me?" Killian asked, smiling.
"No" Disha lied.
"Yes" Killian teased.
"Well...why you looking so dusty?" Disha asked.
"That's something i can't tell you for now" Killian said.
"Why?" Disha asked with furrowed brows.
"It's not a bad thing,so don't be worried" Killian said.
"Okay" Disha sighed glancing at the men once more.
"You should go to bed now, it's so late already" Killian said.
"You should too" Disha said.
"Of course i will. Soon" Killian said.
"Goodnight" Disha said.
"Sleep tight" Killian winked so cutely that Disha's heart skipped a beat.
"Is she going to keep denying this?" She thought as she walked to her room.
"Good morning, good morning, good morning" Disha sang, walking into Summer's room.
She didn't see Summer but she knew she was bathing when she heard the sound of the running shower..
She opened her wardrobe and brought out her well ironed school uniform.
It's a wonder that Killian employed someone just to take care of his daughter's wears.
It's a thing she can do alongside her nanny duties.
She doubt if Summer would ever face any hardship in her lifetime.
Her father did already, he worked for her already.
The little girl now has everything at her beck and call .
She doesn't pray her children suffers the same hardship as she did.
She's also gonna make sure she works very hard so her children won't lack anything and live their best lives.
And that starts now !
Once she drops Summer in school,she's gonna start accepting every order on her phone, she's gonna reply those text messages on her phone and bill the ladies.
Lucien's advise is gonna work for her and that's what she'll follow.
But where will she place her machine and materials after buying them.
There should be space in her room but will Killian accept such?
"I love that determined look" Disha flinched when she heard Killian say behind her.
She turned to look at him and was surprised he was still in his pajamas.
"Good morning" she greeted.
"Good morning, you had that determined look on your face. What were you thinking?" Killian asked.
"Ohh.. about the orders, i think I'm gonna accept them" Disha said.
"Yes! That'll be so nice" Killian smiled.
"I'm gonna collect half payment from each of them and use it in buying a machine and the materials I'll need" Disha said.
"Why don't we discuss that when you're back from dropping Summer" Killian said.
"Seems you're not going to work today, won't you be the one to drop her?" Disha asked.
"I might go to work, I'm still quite busy for now"
"Ohh" Disha said.
"Doing what?" She asked.
"Never mind" Killian smiled.
"Are those men are still around?" Disha asked .
"Yes"
"Daddy!" Summer called, walking out of the bathroom.
"How are you princess?" Killian asked bending to peck her forehead.
"Fine daddy" she smiled.
"Aren't you going to work today?"
"I might, but I'm still busy for now"
"Busy? Doing what?" Summer asked.
"Working"
"Working? On your laptop?"
"Ohh" Killian hesitated "Yeah" he quickly added.
"You're telling lies" Summer frowned.
"Yes!" Disha almost said aloud.
"Well...I'm actually working" Killian said.
"What type of work? House chores?" Summer raised her brow.
"C'mon i'm not ready to tell you yet. You'll see for yourself when you're back from school" Killian grinned.
"Ohh.. okay" Summer said drying her body.
"Good morning Summer, how was your night?" Disha asked.
"Ohh..I'm so sorry, my dad's so huge. I didn't see you" Summer said and Disha let out a short laugh.
"C'mon, you're running late already" Disha said and Summer nodded.
"I will leave you guys to do your thing" Killian said.
"Dad will you drop me in school?" Summer said.
"No princess, I'm so busy right now" Killian said.
"Okay" She frowned.
"But I'll come pick you" Killian said, hoping that'll soften his daughter's hard look.
"Is that a promise?" Summer asked me.
"Yes" Killian pecked her cheeks and she smiled.
"These two are so adorable" Disha smiled to herself as she picked Summer shoes.
Disha and Sophia looked up as one of Killian's bodyguards walked in.
"Disha, Mr Killian wants to see you in his private living room now" He said and turned to leave immediately.
"I'll be right back Sophia" Disha said, dropping her pen and notepad.
She was listing the materials she's gonna get.
She walked out of the kitchen door wondering why Killian wants to see her.
Ohh...he might want them to continue the discussion about her getting her materials and all.
She should take the notepad with her then.
She walked back into the kitchen and caught Sophia smiling to herself.
"Good memories?" She teased as she picked her notepad.
"Uh? You've returned so quickly?" Sophia asked.
"No, i came to pick this" Disha said.
"Ohh.. okay" Sophia said.
She watched Disha walk to the door and she smiled to herself again.
She would be so surprised to see what Killian has for her.
"Hi Mr Killian" Disha said, walking into his private living room.
"Killian" He corrected and Disha smiled.
"Hi... Killian" She said.
"Good, have your seat" he said, dropping the remote control beside him.
Disha sat gently, wondering what all this is about.
He rarely invite people to his private living room.
"So what are your plans concerning the huge orders you got?" Killian asked.
"I thought as much" Disha smiled.
"Huh?" Killian asked.
"Yeah, i knew you called me because of that. But why are we having this conversation here? " Disha asked.
"That's how i want it, it's my house right?" Killian smiled proudly.
"Yeah, it is" Disha agreed.
"So i decided to get the half payments and..."
"How much will you be billing them?" Killian asked.
"Ohh..well i.. don't know yet" Disha sighed.
She hadn't even thought of it,all she thought was that she won't like to charge them much.
"You don't know the amount to bill them and you're already thinking of half payment" Killian laughed.
"I won't be charging them much though" Disha said..
"Disha these people are not paupers, don't charge them with a small amount. Most of them would call off the order because the amount you called for them is too small!" Killian said.
"Really?"
"Yes, cause they'll believe you'll be using cheap and fake materials for them. They so much love and prefer expensive stuffs. So you should better know how to bill them" Killian said.
"Ohh...okay. thanks" Disha said.
"Come with me" Killian said, getting up.
"where to?" Disha asked, rising to her feet.
"Just come with me" Killian said and started heading towards the direction of the garden.
The same way he had led those strange men to yesterday.
She followed him with different thoughts filling her mind.
They walked into the garden and she sighed.
This will be the second time she'll be coming here.
She should visit this beautiful place more often.
Killian led her to a small building which was constructed in the garden.
She saw it the last time and she had wondered who occupied the building.
"Go in" Killian told her.
"Why?" She asked, surprised.
"Just go in" He said and she still remained on that spot.
"Com'on I'm not going to hurt you" Killian laughed sensing her hesitation.
"I think you should go in first" Disha swallowed hard.
"C'mon" Killian said and she took a step forward, she glanced back at him and caught him smiling to himself just like Sophia was.
"What's going on?" She asked.
"You will know after walking into that building" Killian said.
"Okay" Disha said and with a shrug, she opened the door and walked in.
The sight before her left her shocked and if she hadn't held on the armchair beside her, she would have hit the ground.
