Chapter 161 The Kind Of Life She Didn’t Want To Lose.
Leonica found the drive towards Owen’s penthouse to be filled with a sense of anticipation even she didn’t know she possessed.
Having called Grace and informed her of the possibility of she staying out late, or perhaps the entire night, Leonica was assured that Ashley would be safe.
The silence between her and Owen however, was something she wasn’t used to. It was tense, but not in a bad way, it was filled with expectation and the tension that comes with the realization that one has something, someone to look forward to.
Owen’s penthouse was in a luxurious apartment, a thirty minute drive from where the venue for the inauguration party was situated, and as they walked into his suite, the smell of fresh air and vanilla greeted them.
Although it wasn’t he first time visiting, Leonica couldn’t help but inhale the sweet scent, releasing a sigh of contentment, which made Owen chuckle.
"I’m happy you like the smell," He said and then placed his keys on the rack before retrieving his jacket from Leonica and placing it over the sofa. "Would you like some wine, or water to cool off?"
"A glass of wine would be lovely, thank you." She responded, kicking her heels off before making her way to the kitchen, following Owen.
"Red or white?" He asked as he retrieved two wine glasses from the rack, one of which he handed to Leonica, while the other, he placed on the counter.
“Red.” She said as she leaned against the counter, watching as he opened the fridge and pulled out a bottle of wine.
He poured a generous amount into her glass and a smaller amount into his, placing the bottle down once he was done.
Leonica didn’t wait a second, picking the glass up and sipping the drink.
