Grace stepped out of the elevator and stared at the three apartment doors for a moment. Letting out a sigh, she headed to the closest one first and rang the doorbell. Seconds later, someone opened the door.
"Where is he?" She demanded while staring at the familiar face of one of the bodyguards whom she had seen following Davian.
Without wasting any time, the man immediately pointed in the direction of Unit 2203. Grace wasted no time as she headed toward Unit 2203 and rang the doorbell. This time, it took several long seconds before the door was pulled open and she found herself staring at a half naked Davian.
His appearance caught her completely off-guard, leaving her stunned as she wasn’t expecting him to appear in front of her like that. He seemed to have just showered as his hair was wet and water droplets were dropping from the ends of his strands, trickling down his shoulders and chest.
Except for the white towel that was wrapped around his waist, he was completely naked, putting his perfectly toned body on display. And she was shameless enough to run her gaze all over him even before she could have stopped herself.
When she was done taking him in, her gaze returned to his face and she found him staring back at her with a knowing look in his eyes. It was a miracle that her face didn’t immediately set on fire and her voice came out more calm and steady than she was expecting.
"Don’t you have any clothes... or decency?"
Instead of glaring at her for saying what she did, like he should have if he was being his usual self, Davian just smirked while he ran his gaze all over her and replied, "Don’t you think you are in no place to talk about decency with me?"
Confused by his statement, Grace quickly looked down at herself and felt her cheeks burning from embarrassment when she realized just how bad her own appearance was.
She was in a pair of silk pajama shirt and shorts. The top buttons of her shirt were open, showing just the perfect amount of her lace bra. Her long legs were completely bare and her hair was pulled back in a loose bun with bunch of strands falling all around. She looked nothing like the Grace Blackwood whom the world knew.
She inhaled deeply before returning her attention to his face. "At least I’m wearing clothes." That was the best response she could come up with.
Davian arched his eyebrows at her words and the corners of his lips curved slightly as if he was amused. "Well, it’s not like I’m walking around naked. I have covered up the only thing I needed to. Unless..."
He didn’t finish his statement, but his words were enough to flame her cheeks further. Not only that but she suddenly heard someone snickering before it got muffled. When she noticed Davian’s gaze shifting behind her, she too quickly turned around and noticed the doors of the other two apartments quickly closing.
It seemed like the other two apartments were occupied by his men who were currently trying to sneak on their conversation. She let out a sigh and pushed Davian aside before stepping into his apartment and closing the door to earn some privacy.
He just allowed her to do what she wanted, neither looking surprised nor angry. The way he was behaving kept catching her off-guard.
"What are you doing here?" She demanded, not wasting any more time talking about useless things.
Davian crossed his hands across his chest and she wasn’t able to stop her eyes from wandering over to his biceps that flexed because of the move. It was impossible to not appreciate how well he had taken care of his body, really impossible.
"You need to stop looking at me like that, Grace." He suddenly stated in such a serious and intense voice that left her completely baffled. She gulped as she took in the look in his eyes and felt a strange type of feeling bubbling within her.
She licked her lips that suddenly felt dry and noticed how his gaze dropped to her lips immediately. She was sure she noticed him curling his fingers into a tight fist, but before she could have confirmed her doubt, he was already turning away from her and walking in the direction of the living room.
"I told you that I will sell my company, and I have. From now on, I will be following you."
It took her a moment to grasp what he just said. All the weird thoughts and feelings immediately flew away and she quickly followed after him. "Did you really sell your company?" She asked, staring at him with wide eyes.
He settled down on the big couch and fixed his gaze on her as he replied while signaling at the TV set up on the wall facing the couches. "You can turn on the news if you don’t believe my words. I have sold my company, all my assets and properties."
"Why?" She asked, staring at him as if she was looking at a completely different person and not at the Davian King Parker she had known for over eleven years as per her previous life.
Davian didn’t remove his gaze from her face for even a second as he answered, "Because I want to stay with you from now. If you are going to set up your new home on Starfall Isle, then I’ll follow you there. In return, I can offer you myself and everything I have."
"Do you even have anything now since you have sold away all you once had?" She asked and found his smile becoming bigger.
He stood up from the couch and spoke, "Go and get changed, we are heading out in ten minutes."
She wasn’t prepared for the sudden shift in their conversation. "Where are we going?" She asked.
"You will find out soon." Was all he said in response.
