“Yes“
“Great, then come on."
Rose first shows her the ground floor, which includes a lavish drawing room, a big dining room, and the kitchen, as well as William”s study room, or call it a small office.
Then Rose shows Eva the big lawn and the garden area. They also had a swing placed in between. Eva didn’t waste time and got settled on the swing. First, she giggled while Rose adored her cuteness. Rose let her spend some time on the swing, then she took her to either side of their house. Eva was delighted to notice a gigantic swimming pool.
Even though the club in her town didn’t have a swimming pool like this, she learned about swimming from her swimming classes at her school. However, she doesn't continue her passion for swimming after school because the club in their small town, which used to be the only club, was always very crowded.
And her dad never allowed her to join the club.
Rose noticed the glint in her eyes, so she asked, “What happened, dear? Are you scared of water?
"No, actually quite the opposite, as I love to swim. Can I swim here sometime?
“Yes, why not? I will tell the workers to clean it properly as we use it rarely, ok?
"Thank you so much, “Eva squealed like a kid. And Rose found relief to see her normal again.
Soon they reached the first floor., which had six bedrooms; three were guest rooms, and the remaining three enormous bedrooms belonged to the family.
Eva stared at the door of Stephen’s room and again recalled last night’s events. Rose patted her shoulder and started her talk.
“Stephen is always like this, a hard-faced man for outside work, but he is a soft fit only for his family. I hope he did nothing to scare you, Eva. If anything is bothering you, then you can talk to me, dear. But it’s not his fault completely, as he doesn’t know your identity; otherwise, he must never have terrified you.
“Stephen doesn’t like to share his space, his bedroom, or his study room. He dislikes it if any other person invades his privacy. We assign only one person to clean his room. So you can understand his personality. Trust me, he will never bother you; just prevent intervening in his matters or his room. Ok,”
Eva was glad that Rose warned her about Stephen and in that way she cleared her doubts about his behavior
“ And one more thing, don’t mind Steve‘s words, as he loves teasing you, and that’s all."
Eva smiled at Rose. “its ok."

Chapter 7: Smitten one
The moment Stephen reached his floor in the office, his secretary, David, followed him. It well acquainted him with Stephen’s working style, so he knows he has the permission to open his mouth only when Stephen asks him something; otherwise, he just has to follow him
When Stephen entered his lavish office, he found some unfinished files on the table. He gave a warning look at David., who got twitched by his stony gaze, so he tried to save his job
“"Sir, everything is ready. We just need your signature.
Stephen nodded at David.
After completing the signatures on the files, he ordered a black coffee for himself. He asked David about the day’s remaining appointment. To his relief, David informed us that the next meeting was in the evening. Stephen told him to not disturb him for a while as he wants to take some rest.
David's boss never announced this for the past 4 years, which shocked David, especially considering that Stephen is always known as a hardworking man and a workaholic, too.
David thought he must be worn out from yesterday’s traveling as he reached midnight. So he left the cabin, closing the door behind him, and then asked Stephen’s other secretary not to disturb him with any calls.
Stephen was enjoying his coffee, but he was getting distracted often by the girl who was lately in her thoughts. Last night, when he felt her body beside her, her strawberry fragrance, and her soft skin, he could not forget the touch of her skin. And when he saw her face, her beauty mesmerized him. The eyes that were holding the innocence of the entire world, her shivering pink lips, her soft locks—when he caged her between his arms, he noticed her curves. She was the epitome of beauty.
Stephen never gets attracted to any girl. He always witnesses girls who are ready to throw themselves on him, some money-minded greedy whores who never left a chance to earn Stephen”s attention, but he never glanced at them. But something unexpected happened last night when Eva left the room, as did his mom and Steve. Stephen felt a wave of need running in his veins. He felt his member rock hard. He cursed his luck as he had to take another round of the shower. The rest of the night, whenever he tries to get some sleep, a pair of innocent eyes appear in his mind.
Now he can’t deny the fact that Stephen Smith is getting smitten by a girl named Eva Johnson.
However, before he descends into the depths of obsession with her musings, he finds it imperative to scrutinize every aspect of her being. He possesses only a rudimentary understanding of her familial connection as the daughter of his mother's friend, living in a small town. There is nothing further to discuss.
