Billionaire Bachelors 3 ; The Billionaire Falls(4)
"Wow, is this a hotel? Is there a swimming pool?" Trevor asked excitedly, as they all stepped from the vehicle.
Joseph chuckled. "No, it's the main house Trevor. You and your mom will be living here and yes, there's a pool you can use anytime you want but only if there's an adult there to watch."
"Okay," Trevor said and started running for the massive front doors.
"Trevor wait for us, please," Emily yelled after him.
He stopped immediately and turned towards his mom, although he was practically dancing in place, barely able to control his excitement.
The door opened as they started up the stairs. "Hi Mr. Anderson," the older gentleman said.
"Hello Edward. How are you doing today?" Joseph asked.
"I can't complain," the man answered.
"Emily this is Edward. He does a little bit of everything here and Edward this is Emily, the new cook. This strapping young man is her son Trevor. They will be staying in the East Wing. Can you show them to their rooms so they can get settled in?" Joseph asked. Emily missed the wink Joseph gave to Edward and the answering smile he gave back.
"It's great to meet you, Emily and Trevor. Follow me, I'm sure you are anxious to get settled in," Edward said.
"It's really nice to meet you too, that sounds great," Emily responded.
"Where are the dogs?" Trevor asked.
"After you get settled, I'll take you out back and you can meet Sassy. She had puppies a couple weeks ago and I'm sure they'd love to meet you," Joseph said.
"Come on mom, hurry," Trevor said, grabbing her hand.
Emily laughed at the excitement shining in Trevor's eyes. She hoped her new boss was a good man because showing this to her son and then having it taken away from him would be far too cruel.
"I'm coming," she responded.
"I'll meet you downstairs in the den," Joseph said before heading off down a long hallway.
"This place is huge," Emily said as they followed Edward up a large staircase and down an even longer hallway.
"You'll get used to it in no time," he responded with a kind smile.
Emily wasn't so sure but nodded at him anyway. Everywhere she looked there were priceless portraits and antiques. It was all very overwhelming.
"I know you weren't expecting two people, so Trevor and I can share a room. It's really no problem," she told him.
"Oh there's no need for that. There are plenty of empty rooms in this old place just waiting to be filled up. Mark's granddad built this place originally and Mark updated it by adding more square footage. He wanted plenty of room for his family to visit often. The Andersons' value family and friends above all else," Edward said.
"Here's your room young man," he said and opened the door. Trevor squealed, while he ran inside and jumped on the huge bed. The room was bigger than her old living room and dining room combined. "We didn't know we were going to have a child here, so we will furnish it better for you over the next couple of weeks," Edward said.
"There's no need to do anything extra. This room is beyond fine," Emily said, awestruck.
"Your room is right across the hallway," Edward said and opened the door for her. She actually gasped. It was even bigger than Trevor's room. There was a magnificent four poster bed centered in the room and a huge window with a comfortable looking window seat. She would never want to leave.
"You have a private bath through that door there. We'll make sure it's stocked up within the hour. Your closet is through the door over there. After you get settled, come downstairs and take the hallway Joseph took." He turned and left before Emily realized she hadn't even thanked him.
"Wow Mom, your room is even bigger than mine. Ooh you have a seat on your window," Trevor exclaimed, as he came bounding into her room and headed straight for the window. "Oh! Look at all the horses," he continued on.
Emily walked over to the window and stared at the picture perfect scene before her. Her bedroom view was the back of the property and a pasture with at least a hundred horses grazing.
"Look Mom, you can go outside right through here," Trevor opened the French doors she hadn't even noticed and stepped outside before she could even gather her thoughts.
"Trevor be careful," she said and rushed after him. She breathed a sigh of relief when she noted the railing around the porch. Her son was safe. The porch wrapped around the entire back of the house. She saw another set of doors and wondered where they led but didn't want to be nosey. It was probably another guest room or a hallway.
"Let's unpack our suitcases and then head back downstairs. We don't want to keep Mr. Anderson waiting on us," she finally said.
