With the doorbell continuously ringing, Piper nervously went to check the peephole. Seeing Ezrah, a smile bloomed on her face, and she opened the door, relieved that it wasn’t Sebastian. Perhaps he missed her because she had kept away for a while.
“Where are the security men, and why is your phone switched off?” Ezrah’s voice was cold, but Piper could only interpret it to mean he was worried because he could not reach her. Ezrah had only called her phone number after noticing the absence of the security men he hired to watch over her.
“I wanted to rest a little. Come in, and let me fix a drink for you,” Piper beamed, letting him in and closing the door. She approached the wine cabinet as Ezrah sat on a single sofa and asked her,
“Where are the security men I paid to protect you?” Ezrah was upset, but his voice was lukewarm.
Piper picked up a bottle of vodka, feeling that Ezrah would need it. Adding a drinking glass, she ambled to him with a ready-made excuse. “I found them to be a nuisance, so I sent them away. I just want to have some peace and quiet. So, did you miss me? I didn’t want to disturb you.”
Pouring the drink, Ezrah’s eyes were fixed on the screen of the large LED screen in the living room. That familiar face caught his eyes again, and he asked, “What are you watching?”
Piper filled the drinking glass and gave it to him, but he did not immediately sip. His eyes on the LED screen refused to move elsewhere.
Ezrah, who was not a fan of movies, found himself engrossed in the movie, only because of that woman.
