Chapter 10 - A strange visitor

Aurora was soon dropped off by the driver, after Derk had left for work.

She wore a crisp looking black suit and skirt , looking at the tall sky scrapper, she took a deep breath and walked into the law firm.

She stopped at the receptionist to tell her she came for a job interview, and the lady in return had sent her up to the Manager's office.

Mr Charles who happened to be around saw her when she walked up to the first floor of the law firm.

Good morning Mr Charles, I came for the interview she said as he nodded, taking her directly to the Manager's office.

She had taking her time the previous night to look at some law books and note , and found out that she strangely remembered everything concerning her studies, but not the people around her.

The interview was done, and she was asked to wait for the results, she soon left the law firm to return back to the mansion.

Aurora sat inside the car, as the driver had earlier waited for her, and she looked out of the window, thinking about alot of things.

She hadn't gotten any information from the maid , before Derk had walked in last night, and something about the way he looked last night bothered her.

He had mentioned to have run into a slight mishap , but strangely had no scratch at all on his body, the man was a ball of mystery.

Something clicked in her head, she knew nothing about Derk, not his family, friends , and activities, and the thought sent shivers down her spine.

Take me to Derk's company she said to the driver, who diverted the car to the way to his bosses office.

She walked into the tall building and stopped at the receptionist, she would have called Derk to let him know she had came, but she planned on surprising him.

Their had been rumours running round the company that the boss was engaged but no body had met the said future lady boss.

Good morning, Aurora said flashing a smile to the receptionist, can you please make a call to your bosses secretary and tell him that Aurora's here to see his Boss.

The receptionist looked at the woman who looked beautiful, she had wanted to reject her offer to make the call but nevertheless did so.

Simeon came downstairs, he was also Derk's secretary and his beta too, and ushered Aurora to the highest floor which was where Derk's office was located.

I will take it from here, Aurora said to Simeon as soon as they came to stand in front of Derk's office.

She knocked Infront of Derk's office waiting for his response.

Derk who was busy buried in work with papers and files littered on his table heard the knock , thinking it was his secretary , he had asked him to enter.

Aurora walked in to find the man whose head was buried as he hadn't raised his head to see who walked in.

The familiar scent of a woman wafted into derk's nose and he finally raised his head to look at the person.

Aurora he called looking surprised she was at his office, he stood up ushering her to seat, before asking someone to send in a cup of coffee.

Why are you here Derk asked?, I went for the interview today and decided to stop by your office she said looking around the office.

Hmm , he replied looking at her, it was his first time to see her in a professional outfit, and she no doubt looking beautiful, as it gave her an air of seriousness.

He had never imagined he would sleep with a woman for a good two days on his bed without touching her.

Aurora was the first, who he had exerted such amount of self control for, he had dismissed most of the woman he had flings with, to avoid any of them compromising his plans.

More than a week with Aurora pretending to be her finace had rather changed him than he expected.

It wasn't part of the plan to have such feelings for her, no matter how little it was beginning to bloom.

She was his nemesis, a woman he hated and dispised, but here he was indulging in most of her whims .

He stood up returning to his seat, deciding to place some distance between

them, the ghosts that had been following her around had reduced since he had started to rub off his scent on her.

Aurora watched the man work, and he looked more handsome especially now he looked concentrated on his work, Derk was no doubt a handsome man, his face was sculpted to perfection.

He would have been very famous, if he went into the entartainment circle.

She decided to return back , since Derk hadn't for once left the office since she arrived, as she had planned to snoop around for a little.

She returned home to the mansion, looking for a certain maid to find out she was missing, she stopped one of the maids

Have you seen Sandra?, no miss Aurora, she has been absent from work since this morning, the maid replied for her to frown.

Was she on a sick leave or what?, she returned to her room to change her clothes returning downstairs to the parlor.

The door bell rang and the nearest maid went to open the door for a man to walk in.

It was no other the Alexander Jones her ex boyfriend, but as Aurora had lost her memories he looked nothing but a total stranger to her.

Alexander who had been running for almost a month from Thomas burns, who he had earlier told he had found the key he was looking for.

He had failed to deliver the key, as Aurora had gone missing and he received the news her parents was killed instead.

He walked in to see Aurora, who looked more beautiful than the last time he saw him, and rushed to hold her hand.

He knew nothing about her memory loss, baby what are you doing here, are you doing this to spite me?, by living at another man's house?, he asked saying things that only sounded strange to Aurora's ear.

Who are you please?, she asked removing her hand from Alexander's hand, whose eye widened in surprise, it's me your love Alexander, he said taking her hands again.

I don't know any Alexander and am not your love he said pushing the man away from her, refrain your self from touching me or else I would have security throw you out.

Don't you remember me ?, Alexander said trying to convince her , his eyes flashed to the key on Aurora's neck , and he tried walking close to her to grab it.

Aurora was confused at the strange man who claimed to be her lover, Derk's was her love, her fiance, could she had been cheating on Derk behind his back she thought panicking at the thought.
