Chapter 5

He immediately stomped hard on the ground. The concrete beneath his foot cracked under the pressure as he caught the kid like a bolt of lightning. His toes tapped off the front of the car as he floated a few meters backward lightly and landed on the ground gently. All of that happened in the span of two seconds. Just as Wilbur put the kid down, the witnessing passers-by let out cries of disbelief. One woman, after letting out an alarmed cry, rushed over, hugging the child into her arms and inspecting them for injuries. The driver had gotten out of the car as well. She made sure that the kid was all right before walking up to Wilbur. "It's you?" They said at the same time. Wilbur shrugged. "What a coincidence!" "I'm so sorry, Boss. It's my fault for not paying attention. Are you alright?" Faye stood there nervously. "I'm fine." Wilbur shook his head. He came up to the child and checked for injuries before turning to the child's mother. "Is everything alright?" "Yes, yes… Thank you so much… I was just paying at the store when this kid ran out on his own." The child's mother was in shock as well, stuttering as she spoke. Wilbur smiled. "I'm glad you're both fine." Just then, a crowd had gathered around in curiosity. That was because they could hardly believe what they had just seen. Wilbur noticed it and turned to Faye. "Let's go." Faye hurried to nod. Wilbur got into her car, and the pair left the scene. Faye was still worrying in the car. She looked in the rearview mirror to see Wilbur smoking silently while looking out of the window. Faye did not dare to say anything, and the pair kept quiet. A while later, Faye could not take it anymore and asked in a low voice, "Where are you going, Boss?" "Oh?" Wilbur seemed to have just snapped out of a daze and asked, "Could you help me find a place to stay?" "Do you need anything in particular?" Faye asked. Wilbur shook his head. "Nope. It just needs to be liveable." "What about one of the company's properties?" "That will do." Faye nodded and drove into a wealthy area before stopping in front of a bungalow. "This is the company property?" Wilbur asked in shock. Faye nodded. "Yes. Cape Consortium bought it." "You guys are really lavish with your money, huh?" Wilbur could not help but shake his head at the sight of the massive house in front of him. The houses lining the street were all mansions, and it was clear that this was a place of luxury. Faye's gaze glowed brightly, and she said, "Please come inside, Boss." Wilbur followed Faye into the bungalow. The living room alone was over two hundred square meters, complete with high-end furniture and artistic interior design. "Not bad," Wilbur could not help but say. Faye led Wilbur to the couch and served him a cup of coffee. Wilbur took a sip and frowned. "Can I get some tea instead?" "Sure thing, Boss." Yvonne rushed to brew some tea before bringing it over. Wilbur looked around and uttered. "Why did the company buy this house?" Faye hurried to explain, "This is one of our investments. We've got twenty of these houses, but this is the only one that's furnished." "Oh, an investment. Well, I don't know much about that. I'll leave that up to you guys," Wilbur said after taking a sip of tea. Faye elegantly sat next to him and said in a low voice, "This area has high investment value. The price has risen by ten percent since we invested." "Not bad," Wilbur nodded. Faye continued, "The company furnished this place to house important guests, but I usually live here too." Faye stole a glance at Wilbur as she said that. He did not seem to care much as he nodded. "Multi-purpose. That's good." Faye finally heaved a sigh of relief. "What would you like to eat, Boss? I'm a decent cook." "Oh, anything's fine. I'll eat whatever." Wilbur smiled lightly. Faye smiled. "I'll make you some pasta then." Wilbur nodded, and Faye got up to go upstairs. She entered her room on the second floor and put a hand over her chest; her heart was thumping violently at the moment. Was she the luckiest girl in the world? She could hardly believe it. She was going to live with her boss. Were the heavens giving her a chance? After calming down, she took a deep breath and opened her closet. At last, she changed into a nightgown. The nightgown was not revealing but would show glimpses of skin as she moved. It was a rather seductive piece of clothing. After checking herself in the mirror, Faye bit her lip and went downstairs. She greeted Wilbur in the silent living room calmly and went into the kitchen. The kitchen was completely transparent, and one could see everything going on in there from the living room clearly. Faye got to work in the kitchen, rinsing and cutting ingredients. Wilbur caught a glance of Faye's back through the glass panel, and he smiled lightly. Not long after, Faye came out with a plate of pasta and placed it in front of Wilbur. As she bent down, a good view of her bosom was visible to Wilbur. Just then, Wilbur said all of a sudden, "There's something here." He then reached out toward Faye's chest.
