Chapter 9

Hestia's eyes widened as she saw the crowd looking at her intently. She then hid behind him as warren cleared his throat. The persons in suits began to disperse as they've already greeted Warren. His Grandmother on the other side was still skeptical on who the girl is. She took a step forward but Warren shielded her from his Grandmother

"Why? Aren't you going to let me see her?" asked Warren's Grandmother as Warrens smiled and took Hestia's wrist and pulled her inside the building, leaving his Grandmother at the entrance

"How? How id that girl not scolded?" asked Warren's grandmother to one of her assistants as they shake their head as they also doesn't know why

"Now you know why I don't like to work here in the office" said Warren as they made it to the Elevator. They got inside and Warren pressed the floor at the top of the building

"Your office is at the 50th floor?" asked Hestia in surprise as Warren nod his head as a yes

"My Grandmother is at the same floor as I am" said Warren as they waited for them to get to his floor

"Then Why didn't we waited for your Grandmother? She could've gone to the same Elevator as us-" Hestia was cut off when Warren spoke

"You saw how she is. She's not your typical grandmother" said Warren as Hestia remembered her wearing a bright pink overalls

"She seemed lovely" said Hestia as Warren gasped in shock

"She's what?" asked Warren as he thought that he's hearing things

"I said that she seems lovely" said Hestia but Warren chuckled at her response as he knows how her Grandmother could be pretty extra all the time

"Don't say that. You're giving me goosebumps" said Warren as they heard a ding, then the doors opened revealing a hallway with only two doors

"Welcome to the way to my office" said Warren as he made a posture like he's inviting Hestia inside

Hestia felt quite disappointed as she that she'll be greeted by maids and secretaries and fancy interiors but all she saw was an empty hallway with a very simple paint and a red carpet. Warren saw Hestia's confused eyes as he thought that she's cute but Hestia still haven't went inside the office yet.

Warren took Hestia's hands as he heard the Elevator's door closing. He knows that if they don't escape now, His grandmother will be all over the place when she caught them. Warren then dragged the still confused Hestia behind him as they stopped at the bur colored door at the right side of the empty hallway.

"Try not to be amazed" said Warren as he tapped the wall next to the door. A black screen then appeared with a lining of what looks like a hand. Warren pressed a few buttons and then he took Hestia's hands, adding her fingerprints to the system. Hestia was still confused as to why Warren's doing this. \

"Now you're all set" said Warren as Hestia looked at him with confusion in her eyes

"Try to place your hand at the screen" said Warren as he took a step aside and placed his hands on Hestia's shoulders, moving her in front of the black screen

"Place your hand there" said Warren as he pointed at the Screen with his head. Hestia was quite hesitant at first as this is the first time she's encountering this technology

"Welcome, Ms. Hestia Miller" said an automated voice, making Hestia jolt in surprise.

The door then slowly opened sideways. She was pretty amused by the technology but before she can take a glimpse on the inside. They heard the Elevator arrived at the floor they were in. Warren's eyes widened as he knows who's behind the door in the inside. Warren immediately pushed Hestia inside and he took a step inside, pressing the close button immediately as they heard someone yelling Warren's name. As soon as the door was closed Warren finally got to sigh in relief as he knows that they're safe.

Warren looked at the door but he jumped back as he heard poundings on the door. Warren shook his head and looked behind him where Warren pushed Hestia. He found her staring below the building. She watches as countless cars pass by the building and some foreigners taking a picture of the vast sea in front of them. She was mesmerized by the view as she has never seen this kind of scenery in her entire life

"as I told you, take a picture. it'll last longer" said Warren as he approached Hestia from the back but Stopped as Hestia looked behind her with a glare in which Warren smiled as he remembered what happened in her house yesterday.

"I've really had enough gut punching for this week" said Warren as Hestia chuckled at his response as Hestia punched him in the abdomen when Warren didn't stop teasing her about his body and that she should take a picture.

"Good" said Hestia as she looked at the scene back again. Warren approached her once again but when Warren was about to hug her from behind, he suddenly remembered that they're just faking their relationship. Warren cleared his throat as he took a step to his left and stood at the same side as Hestia.

Hestia on the other hands was gripping her clothes tightly as she felt what Warren was about to do. That's why instead of being mesmerized by the Ephemeral beauty of the scene in front of her, she felt confusion and a little pain instead. She's too confused to know what's Warren was doing or is he really testing her patience.

"You know, you're the only girl I brought here. that's why they're acting like that" said Warren as Hestia exhaled and calmed herself to answer Warren

"Really? I thought you always bring a lot of ladies here" said Hestia as Warren chuckled at her remark

"No, I'm telling you the truth" said Warren as he placed his hands inside his pants and before they could utter another word, they heard the door hiss as it was opened from the outside

"Shit, I forgot to lock it" said Warren as he ran to the door to press the lock button but he was already too late as it opened and a Woman in pink entered the office

"hello my grandson and his girlfriend, I'm Elena Von Villaflor, the Chairwoman of this company" Said Warren's Grandmother Mrs. Villaflor

"Now I'm here to take Ms. Hestia here to, talk to her" said Mrs. Villaflor as she walked towards Hestia but before she could take the last step towards Hestia, Mrs. Villaflor saw her face. She gasped and smiled as she slowly looked towards Warren with a smile and a calmed expression.

"is she,,,?" said Mrs. Villaflor as Warren sighed and nod his head.

Mrs. Villaflor felt euphoric as she once again looked at Hestia. She smiled firmly and stood up properly before extending her hand towards Hestia with a smile. Hestia was a bit hesitant but as what happened to Warren, she felt too comfortable around her too making her trust Warrens Grandmother quickly. Hestia smiled back and took Warren's Grandmother hand and had a handshake with her.

"let's go to my office dear, I want to talk to you" said Warren's Grandmother as Warren sighed in defeat.

Hestia looked at him but Warren could only smile in defeat as she was being dragged by his Grandmother outside his office and towards hers.

"I'm sorry for putting you in that situation Hestia" said warren as the door closed behind them, leaving him standing there all by himself.
