Honestly, I didn’t know what I wanted to ask about it, but it just felt like there was something worth knowing about it. Maybe it was just my own curiosity playing tricks with my brain, but I was itching to know more about it. It did occur to me that the more people say that something is off limits, it just makes me want to know more about it. We all get interested in forbidden things, don’t we?
"Auntie also showed me Harvey’s wing. I mean, she showed me where it was..." I said before ending with a mumble.
At the mention of Harvey’s wing, Hayden’s expression became cold and unreadable instantly. The cheerful atmosphere around us turned awkward and strained at the sudden change of Hayden’s mood.
"Don’t worry. She just told me where it was after we exited your wing of the mansion. We didn’t go in or anything like that..." I quickly explained.
"I see..." Hayden said curtly.
I gulped as my eyes shifted nervously around and I started to feel uncomfortable. It was evident that Hayden didn’t want to talk or hear about this topic anymore.
"It’s late. You should shower and go to bed. You have work early tomorrow again, right?" I suggested, trying to change the topic of our conversation.
Hayden turned to face me before he slowly lifted his hand and started stroking my hair. He lifted a strand of my hair between his fingers as his blue eyes held mine. The way he was staring deeply into my eyes made my heart beat faster and my chest tightened up a little.
"Do you want to see it?" Hayden asked in a seductive voice.
"See...what?" I asked softly, not quite following.
Hayden smiled before leaning down until his face was very close to my ear.
"My bedroom..." he whispered right into my ear.
My heart skipped a beat at his suggestive words, and I felt heat rush to my face as I blushed madly. What does he expect me to say to that?
This was the first time that Hayden had invited me to his bedroom, and I had to try my best not to read too much into it.
Undeniably, I wanted to know more about Hayden and the more he showed me of his private life, the closer I felt like I had gotten to him. The walk to his bedroom was a slightly long one due to the vast size of the mansion and my emotions started taking over me with every step that I took forward.
When we reached the fork in the path, my eyes unconsciously glanced over at the path leading to Harvey’s wing of the mansion.
"This way," Hayden said firmly as he pulled me after him into his wing of the mansion.
The hallway was dimly lit with orange light from the lamp on the walls. Apart from that, the hallway was silent and empty. That made sense since I bet no one else came to this part of the mansion except for Hayden, Auntie, and the maids. I wondered if he felt lonely sometimes living in such a large place all on his own.
It wasn’t long after we entered this section of the mansion that we arrived in front of a large pair of doors. It was much darker than the last time that I was here during the day, but this was undoubtedly the doors to Hayden’s bedroom. I gulped as I stood behind him in front of the doors.
"This is my bedroom," Hayden said passively.
I didn’t know what to say so I just nodded as I started getting even more nervous than before. Hayden pushed the door opened firmly and my body froze in place.
"Come in," Hayden said emotionlessly.
Without waiting for me to response to his invitation, Hayden’s arm circled my waist before he pushed me gently into the room. The large door closed with a loud thud behind me, and I jumped in slight fright. The room was dark, and I couldn’t make out much until Hayden switched on the lights. I blinked as my eyes adjusted to the light before it widened at the sight before me.
Where’s the bed?
