Chapter 99 - - 99: Terms and conditions of transaction
Matthias found himself immensely surprised as soon as he swung the door open when he heard her knock on his door. He stood in front of the doorway in bewilderment, wide eyes staring at her from head to toe.
She wasn't the Leyla he had grown used to seeing.
All of a sudden she was here, in front of him. All dressed in the clothes and gifts he'd long given her. Gifts she had sworn off of.
"May I come in?" She asked him in that cautious melodic voice, looking up at him through her curled lashes, blinking them so enticingly.
Finally, Matthias stepped away, letting her in, widening the door for her to enter.
"Wait here for a moment." Matthias softly commanded her before he strode back into his drawing room. He could sense Leyla begin to follow him quietly.
Upon Leyla's entrance, she saw multitudes of papers strewn across the table. There was a stack of other papers and documents in one corner table. It was as if he was in the middle of doing his work.
"You must be very busy." Leyla remarked softly as she looked around. Matthias only spared her a glance before he expertly stacked some of the papers neatly on his desk.
"Only a little."
"Perhaps I should return at a later time?" she lightly suggested, when Matthias shot her a knowing smirk, before plopping himself languidly on his sofa.
He crossed his legs, spreading his left arm onto the backrest as he leaned back and looked at her with sharp blue eyes. He casually brought over the folder with his right towards him, flipping it open.
