Chapter 32: The Three Compartments
Arthur could hear her filling the bathtub and realised she was going to take a bath. He desperately wanted to join her and stood by the door contemplating of he should ask her to let him join too.
But then he decided against it and walked to the bedroom to have a good look. That signature in that big photograph still was an eyesore, but he decided to not dwell on it.
He opened the closet and it looked awfully small to the one back in her mansion. That closet still had the dresses she wore when she was little and many dresses that her grandfather still orders now in case she suddenly returns and it still has space left. There are a almost a thousand bags for her back home. Jewellery, most of them that were belonged to her mother and grandmother are still kept in her closet. After he moved in, her grandfather renovated her room to accommodate him and so he has a closet area in her closet too.
He was surprised to see not much dresses in her closet here and most of them were formal wear and some shoes and bags. There was some empty space and he was so exited. He brought in his luggage and hanged his suits beside her dresses and his clothes in the empty racks. He felt blissful seeing their clothes hanging side by side.
If she doesn’t want to return to Esteria, he was willing to live with her even in this small eight hundred square feet apartment for the rest of his life. In this globalised world, he doesn’t have to be physically present in the head office to run the Northern Star company.
Once they have kids they can buy a mansion in the suburbs or if she wants to love in the city maybe a penthouse in a place with good schools, near a park maybe and also with good privacy.
Arthur’s mind wandered rampantly with thoughts and dreams of his future life with Talia but then he composed himself.
She hasn’t agreed yet. And he is here to bring her back to visit her grandfather.
He walked to the white antique styled vanity she kept beside the big window in the bedroom. Seriously he himself couldn’t understand the purpose of a big window in the bedroom.
Maybe for the sunlight to get in...?
He checked at the drawers and they were neatly organised with her makeup, styling appliances and perfumes. She also kept her jewellery in one of the drawers. They didn’t seem so expensive and looked more of a daily wear.
