Perfect Disguise (33)

Dominic's POV.

After the call, I went to have my bath, wore a gray trouser and a black sweater with a pair of black leather sneakers and drove to Diana's house. This time I wasn't scared when one of the security guards stopped me at the gate. I simply told them who I wanted to see. Then they called her and I was allowed to enter. I gazed at the marvelous surroundings as I drove through the driveway. There were various tree and flowers at the sides of the driveway.

 Then I noticed the garden. Fresh scent of vegetables and fruits swept through my nose. I inhaled deeply and smiled. It reminded me of home. My mom used to plant some vegetables  and tomatoes behind our house when I was still young. There was a magnificent gazebo at the center of the garden. Wild plants sagged around its pillars. I didn't know there was a garden at the right side of the comuond when I first came here. Maybe it was because it was already dark that day. 

I drove around the shimmering fountain and parked my SUV at the front of the mansion. I got down from the car and looked ahead. I could barely see the top of the building from where I stood. I turned my head and saw a woman squinting at me from the patio. 

She sat comfortably on a chair in total elegance and confidence. Even though she wasn't close, it was hard not to notice her. Her dressing and calm posture was gracious and demanded attention. She wore a plain dress and a pair of flats. I smiled and nodded my head at her to acknowledge her. She looked like she was in her mid forties. 

Was she Diana's Mom?

I didn't approach her since I wasn't sure who she was. I brought out my phone and called Diana.

I was still speaking with Diana on the phone when I heard a sharp voice behind me.

"Who are you?" The woman I saw at the patio asked. She stood at the top of the perron before the mansion.

I put my call on hold and glanced at her. She looked sternly. Her expression was cold and serious. It was like I had disturbed her peaceful basking in the sun.

I managed to part my lip with an awkward smile. "I'm Dominic," I said.

She viewed the SUV behind me with disdain and observed me from my sneakers upward. She crossed her hands across her chest. "Are you here to deliver something? I don't think I ordered anything."

I stared at the steps of the perron avoiding her judgmental eyes. Its belittled me in an unconfortable way. "No, I'm actually here to see Diana," I stated calmly. 

She definitely won't want me to be with Diana If she was her Mom. I scratched the nape of my neck and took a glance at her. Her harsh gaze attacked me. Gosh, I hoped she wasn't her mother.

She grimaced. "Diana? She doesn't work here."

"Yes, she actually lives here. I've called her, so she knows I'm here." I said politely.

She frowned. "Diana is my daughter. So who are you to her?"

Shit, she is Diana's mother, I cussed under my breath. "Em… I'm um…"

"He is a friend, Mom." Diana said as she walked out of the mansion. She stood beside her mother and smiled at me. "And stop asking those questions, you are making him feel uncomfortable." She said and walked down the steps. 

She stood beside me and held my hand. "We are kind of late, so we have to go." She told her mother and sat at the front seat of my SUV. 

I forced a smile and nodded my head at her mother before entering the car. 

Diana sighed and looked at me. "Drive now before she orders the guards to close the gate on you."

I quickly started the car and looked at Diana. "Why will she do that?"
