Week’s passed by and the relationship between Justin and Miranda continued to grow. Even though they couldn’t go public, that did not stop Justin from spoiling his woman and showing her just how much he loved her, how much important she was in his life. The news about Miranda died down after Ava announced publicly that she will be working exclusively for the Johnston company and will not take jobs for the next six months. They say that a scandal covers another in the entertainment industry and that’s what happened in Miranda’s case.
She could finally Walk free on the streets and to her office but Justin being the protective man he was did not allow her to go alone. He made sure that she was accompanied by a few bodyguards. The funniest thing is that even after everything settled, Miranda did not leave his house. Why? Because Justin practically begged her not to and Miranda gave in. Truth is even she was reluctant to leave his side. He had been nothing but good and caring towards her. You could say apart from her grandfather, Justin was the second man who treated her like she’s someone special.
Today, they had planned to have a date. Justin had promised to take her out and instructed her to wear something sexy for him. Miranda had called Lucia, her best friend who was a designer, and requested a dinner dress be sent to her office. She highlighted that it should be sexy. Even though her friend teased her endlessly, she still did as requested. So now, here she was, in front of a mirror in her company’s restroom meant for her. She was looking at the reflection on the mirror and couldn’t quite believe that the woman in the mirror was actually her.
This was the First time Miranda was wearing something like this. All her life, she never had the luxury to enjoy Life like any normal child. She was trained to be the protector of the crown. From birth, her life was never hers. She was born with the mission to die protecting the royal family. Her grandfather was also a royal protector and died in the line of duty. What was strange was that, eight years after her grandfather’s death, nobody from the royal family contacted her. Yes, she knew the rules, those from the royal family remained hidden. Only the Prime Minister was known to the public. It may sound weird but that was a policy meant to protect the royal family from their enemies. She wondered if dating Justin was acceptable but pushed those thoughts immediately. Since the royal family was in no threat, she will take this time and experience life, when duty calls, she’ll respond to it but for now, she just wanted to spend this moment with the Man she loved.
A ding from her phone interrupted her train of thoughts. She picked up the phone and read the message.
‘ downstairs waiting for my queen.’ It read. Miranda smiled at that. He was a simple man and though rich did nothing special to express his love for her. He was very simple and Miranda loved this simplicity.
Picking up her purse, she strolled out of the room and out of the office. It was seven in the evening so everybody had Left the company except a few security details taking patrols around the company.
Miranda boarded the elevator and pressed the underground button. For privacy, the two lovebirds use the underground parking lot whenever Justin drops her to work or picks her from work.
The drive to the underground seemed longer than normal to Miranda, she was excited to see Justin and at the same time nervous about what he’ll think of her dress. She heaved a sigh of relief when the elevator finally arrived and opened. Stepping down, she felt butterflies in her stomach upon seeing him. In front of her was the man she has come to love and depend on in all glory. Justin was wearing a navy blue suit which hugged his toned body perfectly. Looking at him, he was drool worthy. It was no wonder magazines featuring him would sell at a terrifying speed. The thought of other women seeing his sexy body brought a sour taste to her mouth.
She didn’t like it one bit. She planned to talk to him about changing his career in the near future. He was hers and hers alone. She will not allow just anybody to see his body, not even for work purposes. Justin watched as his woman stood at place admiring him. This is what he loved about his woman, she was honest with her reactions when it comes to him. He was also aware of the fact that Miranda appreciated his body a lot. It’s not the first nor the second time she would roam her eyes all over his body with a look of appreciation. He smiled inwardly but saw her frowning immediately. Her frowns meant that she thought about something unpleasant and Justin racked his brains to see whether there’s something he did lately to displease her but came up with nothing.
And as if that frown was nothing but an imagination, it disappeared and she was back smiling at him, that one smile that rendered his body weak. He had noticed that ever since they started dating, Miranda would occasionally smile More. She also didn’t try to hide that she was happy. She was easy to please. Miranda was not the type of girl who needed fancy things to make her happy, Justin understood that. The things you would consider petty and simple in a relationship was enough to paint a beautiful smile on her face. Money, jewellery and other luxurious things were unimpressive in her eyes, after all she was Miranda Lambert, the CEO of Lambert group. She was definitely loaded. Justin could proudly say that his woman was richer than him but that did not make him feel inferior, on the contrary, it brought a feeling of pride to him.
” Hi?” Miranda greeted him awkwardly. She was never good with words that he knew but it Made her cute in his eyes.
” Hi my queen. How was your day?”Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
” Good, I guess.” Miranda.
” You guess?” Justin asked, cocking a brow at her but Miranda kept quiet.
” You look hot and sexy today.” Justin said and pulled her to himself and kissed her. It was a brief kiss but passionate. Miranda had lost count on how many times Justin kissed her these past few weeks but she liked it. His kisses were addictive, leaving you yearning for more.
” Thank you, you look good too.” Miranda replied after they broke apart.
” Just good?” Justin decided to tease her a little.
” And handsome.” She added.
” I only look handsome now?” Justin whined pouting.
” You always look handsome m” Miranda replied ever so seriously sending Justin to a feat of laughter. She was too cute. How come She didn’t realise he was only teasing her?
” Okay, let’s go before we get late.” He said taking her hand and leading her to the car.
” I brought a driver today to drive because I want to spend the whole evening with you.” Justin said seriously, causing Miranda to blush.
The two exchanged a few words with Justin doing the talking. Miranda would only reply with two or one word or just smile at Justin.
Minutes later, they arrived at their destination. ‘ Marble Arch hotel’ was the name of the hotel the two will spend the evening at. The driver parked the car and Justin stepped down before circling the car to help Miranda down.
Due to the need for privacy, the manager of the hotel was already waiting for them at the lobby. He ushered them to the private elevator used by VIPs. They boarded the elevator and in no time, they arrived at the rooftop of the hotel.
” Everything is ready as you instructed.” The manager respectfully said and walked away after Justin dismissed him.
” Come.” Justin said, taking Miranda’s hand and leading her towards the table erected in the middle of the rooftop.
Miranda took in the appearance of the place. The floor was covered with scattered rose petals. The table was arranged with red candles which were glowing red bringing about a romantic ambience to the air. At the far end, a live band was playing soothing and sweet melodies painting the whole atmosphere with passion. Miranda turned to look at the Man besides her and was greeted with the sight of her man, holding a single Rose at her.
” This is for you.” He said, handing the rose to her to which Miranda accepted gratefully.
” My sun shines whenever I am with you” Justin added to which Miranda translated to be the meaning of the single rose.
” Thank you.” She could only say that. She felt countless new emotions flooding her but she didn’t Know how to express them. She felt like crying but forced those tears in. She can’t cry at this point. That would ruin the night for them and that’s the last thing She wanted.
