CEO's Contract Obsession-Chapter 53: All Set and Fresh
"Madam, wake up, madam," Demi taps Amy’s shoulder as she wakes her up after bringing down all of Amy and Henry’s baggage downstairs.
"Mmm..." Amy doesn’t seem to want to sign off from dreamland as she only moaned and did not heed Demi’s call.
"Madam it is five in the afternoon and you need to go to the airport," Demi shook her up once again.
Amy sleepily sat up this time without opening her eyes, stretched her arms, and yawned loudly, making Demi chuckle. "Get up, you still have to change your clothes, and let’s cover those spots on your neck."
Amy instantly opened her eyes wide upon hearing Demi, "What spots?" she asked while frowning.
Demi then gave her a handheld mirror and her face turned pale before a crease on her forehead appeared. Demi on the other hand was trying to hide her smile and giggled to herself.
"This is insane!" Amy lashed out as she touched and counted the hickeys that Henry made on her skin.
"That’s ok we can put some concealer on it," Demi was already preparing the make-up she needed for the task while she kept her smile.
"This is not funny Demi, this is unacceptable and inconsiderate. We are going to see my family today and he made my skin his canvas," Amy said as she walked to the vanity where Demi is.
"Well, if you ask me, I think it’s cute," Demi started to put concealer on Amy’s face and the latter just stared at her with a confused facial expression.
"This is the first time that our little Henry has shown affection to someone other than his family. You are the first woman who he cared about and allowed to live here full-time," Demi explained.
"He’s not little anymore you know, and what do you mean full-time?" Amy asked.
"His previous women only stay here on weekends and only if he is here. And he doesn’t care about them, he only... uhm... well I think you get what I mean right?" Demi was too embarrassed to give in detail about the rest of the story even though everyone was already aware of what Henry’s contracted girlfriends do.
Amy just nodded and let Demi finish covering her marks and also let her do her hair and make-up.
"There you go, all set and fresh," Demi looked at her with a satisfied smile, happy with the result of her work.
Amy looked left and right in the mirror to appreciate Demi’s work, "You should be a make-up artist Demi, you did great."
"Henry’s mom taught me how to do it properly before then it became a hobby. I’m glad you like it," Demi answered.
"So where’s the person who I should blame for the marks?" Amy jested.
"He is in his study with Rei and Anton ever since after lunch, I think they are talking about something serious," both of them then went out of the room to go to their respective business.
Henry and the rest went out of the study before Amy reached the door and the haggard faces of Rei and Anton were the first thing that she saw. Anton bid farewell to them while Rei walked out with him to go to his men and prepare them for their flight.
"What happened to those two? They looked like they lost in the lottery or something," Amy asked Henry.
"Work stuff," Henry tersely answered as he snaked his arm into her waist.
"Are you overworking them because of our vacation?" she suddenly felt guilty that those two will shoulder Henry’s responsibilities at work just because he will accompany her to see Jason.
"Nah, they can handle it, don’t worry about them. Let’s worry about you. How are you feeling?" Henry pulled her chin gently so they would meet eye to eye.
Her heart melted at the simple gesture because of the way he looked at her. Then she remembered why he was asking how she was. She immediately shifted her gaze to what was in front of them to hide her blush. But Henry already saw how red her ear was.
"I am ok, I am hungry though. You didn’t wake me up for lunch," she pouted as they walked towards the main door.
"I know, sorry love. You were sleeping soundly and I don’t have the heart to disturb you. We still have time before our flight, do you want to eat here first?" Henry kissed her head before fully stopping walking, waiting for her answer.
"We can just order from a drive-through then I will eat it on the plane," she answered back while pulling his hand and going to the car that will drive them to the airport.
"The food in my plane is better than fast food though," Henry retorted.
"Let me try that then," she smiled and excitedly hopped in when Charles opened the back seat door for them.
"Don’t forget the squirrels," Henry reminded Charles with a wink before following Amy inside the car.
Charles chuckled at his reminder and saluted with a wink too as he closed the door. Every passing day after Amy arrived in the mansion, Charles and Demi saw the changes that are happening to Henry, all nothing but good. He is like a son to them since they have been in the mansion even before he was born.
They are just happy that Amy’s arrival in his life brought happiness not only to Henry but to the whole household as well. Deep inside even though they know that it is not their role or job to choose a wife for Henry, they both wish and hope that Amy will stay in their lives forever.
They arrived in the hangar on time and Henry instructed the chef to prepare an early dinner for them on the plane as Amy hasn’t eaten anything since breakfast. Even he was famished after a 5-hour straight meeting with Rei and Anton.
"Wow, your plane is so spacious, is this the same plane that the kids used?" Amy looked left and right totally amazed by the inside of the plane as she stepped inside. The last time she saw Henry’s plane when Jayson took off, she did not go in, since she was so emotional and was avoiding crying in front of the kids.
But seeing it up close is a total eye candy, all seats are made from leather in white and black with chrome hardware and a minimalist modern touch. There are both single and sofa-type seats with their own automated hydraulic tables and pillows.
There is a large TV screen beside the cockpit door, a minibar, and a kitchenette on the side. It has LED lights all over with ambient lighting, surround sounds, and entertainment consoles.
"Yes, it is," Henry can’t help but flash a smile while watching Amy inspect every nook and cranny of the plane. He can’t wait to travel the world with her on this plane. ’Someday we will visit every place that you like with our kids in this plane... Kids? What am I thinking, she hasn’t even told me her feelings yet.’ Henry thought to himself.
"What are those doors?" His daydreaming was interrupted by Amy’s question.
"Go on, see for yourself," Amy checked the door on the left first. "This is amazing, even the powder room is luxurious," she complimented.
"You have not seen everything yet, check the door on the right," Henry can’t wait to see her reaction when she opens the next door; he made sure that his staff completes every detail in there.
Amy excitedly opens the door on the right and her jaw dropped. She stayed in place for a good few seconds before looking back at Henry. "We are not going on a honeymoon, Henry!" she exclaimed.
"I didn’t say we are, I..." Henry tried to explain but Amy cut him off. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
"Then what is this?" Amy opened the door wide and it was Henry’s turn to drop his jaw with the sight that welcomes him.
The bed and floor were full of red rose petals. There were two towels that were folded in a swan shape forming a heart in the middle of the bed. A bucket full of ice with wine in it and two wine glasses on the side and to match the mood of the theme, aroma candles are lit on the vanity and side tables.
"What the hell is this? I asked for a bouquet of red roses and lavender candles, not a room full of rose petals or a honeymoon suite," Henry rub the back of his neck in exasperation. ’Damn it, Charles did this on purpose.’ Henry asked Charles beforehand to surprise Amy with red roses and lavender candles knowing that she likes them but Charles push it up to a different level. Taking the liberty, Charles added the swan towels and wine to make it more romantic.
Amy laughs at how embarrassed Henry looked, "That’s ok, it looks romantic. Oh! Let me take a picture, I can use this in my book," Henry watches Amy take a picture of every detail of the room excitedly. He was dumbfounded about how come she was not affected by the room’s setup when he was feeling a different kind of excitement.
After taking pictures they sat on the coach seat in the cabin together with Rei and the rest of his men in preparation for take-off. As soon as the plane was stable in the air, the crew started serving dinner. Rei and Tony joined them at their table after Henry invited them to move opposite them.
