Following Kaiser's departure, Valentina went back to bed and lay down, being careful not to disturb Luca. It was way too early, and she had engaged in a mentally taxing conversation.
Looking at the angelic face of the boy that was so similar to his father's, she smiled and removed a curl from his forehead. It seemed that she would be spending a lot more time with the little nugget.
She quickly dozed off and woke up a couple of hours later when she felt a gaze on her. opening her eyes, she saw cute green eyes staring at her intently. Luca lay on his stomach with the bunny ear hood pulled up. His sparkling eyes looked at her and his cute little face was flushed pink.
"Good morning little nugget."
"Good morning Aunty Val." His cute voice whispered.
At his adorable greeting, she pinched his cheeks. "Okay, why don't you brush your teeth and change while I make you some breakfast? Your dad brought you clothes and you and I will be heading to your house. I'll be staying with you for a bit."
"Yay!" Luca cheered.
Valentina quickly helped the child to the bathroom while she hurried to make a quick breakfast of French toast with berries, eggs, and some sausage.
Luca came out just as she was dusting the powdered sugar over the French toast and spraying whip. He was dressed in all black again and Valentina swore the first thing she would do with the black card would be to buy him colorful clothes. Children should not be dressed as if they were attending a funeral but in bright cheerful colors.
"Come, come sit and eat." Valentina helped Luca sit down before pushing his chair in.
As he happily dug into the food, Valentina took a photo of him eating with whipped cream on his nose and sent it to Kaiser's number with the message - Hungry boy happy boy.
Almost instantly the message was hearted, and he had invited her to his close friends on Weibo. Before Valentina could process that, Roman had also added her as a close friend.
Curious as to how he found her, she saw that Kaiser had made a post for his private social circle using the photo and caption she had sent.
Embarrassed at a top CEO posting her stuff even among his close friends, she quickly switched to her public account to post. She quickly took a selfie of herself and her plate before captioning it – Made a delicious breakfast. Since she was a marketer previously, she knew the importance of regularly posting and engaging with her followers. Although she only had around 3,000 followers, she hoped it would grow in the future.
A quick look through the trending entertainment topics showed that a couple of new dramas had been released. One of them 'School Days' was starring Aaliyah Salazar. Seeing the positive reception and fans supporting the film made Valentina envious as well as determined. She too would one day be in a trending project and achieve great acclaim.
Once she and Luca finished eating, she quickly changed into the clothes she had gotten from Kaiser before packing a small suitcase filled with clothes and toiletries. Since she wasn't planning on staying at the Graysons for long, she planned on checking the space out first before buying or moving things as needed.
Once she was packed, she called the number that Kaiser had given her for the driver.
"Hello?"
"Hello Ma'am, is this Miss Valentina Salazar?"
"Yes, it is. I'm ready to go. Do you need my address?"
"No ma'am, I'm downstairs waiting. I'll have somebody come to escort you down, please give me a moment."
The call dropped and Valentina took the time to place sunglasses and a face mask on both her and Luca's faces. Even though she wasn't really famous, she took Kaiser's words of security to mind. She didn't want to be the reason Luca was exposed to the public.
A sharp knock quickly sounded on the door and when she opened it, she saw two large men in suits standing there.
"Miss Salazar, we're here to carry your luggage and escort you and the young master to the vehicle."
Before she knew it, Luca was in her arms as she was quickly ushered to the rolls Royce parked downstairs.
"Where to ma'am? I've been ordered to take you wherever you need to go" the driver seated at the front asked.
"Let's head to the Grayson household," Valentina replied.
"Of course, ma'am." The driver responded before winding up the partition.
She and Luca sat peacefully in silence and less than an hour later she arrived at the Grayson estate.
As the driver held the door open for her, she quickly helped Luca down before holding his hand and walking to the open front door.
"Welcome back young master and Miss Valentina."
Upon entering, the lined-up maids and butler greeted her.
"Miss Valentina, I'm Matteo the butler and manager for the estate. Let me show you to your room." A maid took Luca from her, and she was left alone with the butler.
Valentina absent-mindedly followed the butler as he led her through the mansion once again.
He led her to a room on the second floor. When she opened the door, Valentina looked around in surprise.
It was a much larger space than the guest room she stayed in before. It was a complete suite with a bedroom, living room, and bathroom that was larger than her entire apartment. The room was tastefully decorated in cream and blush pink with large windows that overlooked the garden and pool.
"This is your suite, Miss Valentina. It's temporarily decorated for now but the master ordered me to deliver a catalog so you can redecorate the rooms however you please." Matteo informed her as he set her luggage by the door.
"Oh no, this is absolutely fine. It's very beautiful and to my taste." Valentina replied as she looked around. Honestly, felt completely out of place as she looked around.
"The Master has also instructed that you are to have complete access to everything on the property. The master and young master's room are also on this floor, as well as the office and library. If you want to head out there are always two drivers available at all times. The keys to all the vehicles in the garage are also downstairs so grab whatever you want. If you're hungry please inform a chef and they'll make your meal immediately. Please make yourself at home."
"Thank you."
That was all Valentina could say. She had vowed to have nothing to do with the Grayson family but here she was living in their house for the next couple of months.
Sigh.
