Chapter 79: You Like It?
A few days later, Kate enrolled at the college in the company of Tristan’s pretty secretary. The person in charge received them and gave them an introduction to the regulations of the school.
Her tone was detached and business-like. It made Kate felt better that they had not received special treatment.
Then she was brought to a meeting room where she had a few placement tests.
Two hours later, Kate walked off campus after finishing the tests. Looking at the winter sunshine, she took a deep breath and felt she was going to turn to a new page in her life.
Soon it was Christmas, and Kate felt guilty thinking of her family. She bought some gifts and asked Max to bring them back. She told her parents that she could not go back because of her busy schoolwork.
On Christmas Eve, Tristan came back only just before the day broke. He got on the bed and hugged her. After touching and kneading her, he took no further action. She felt he wasn’t in a good mood.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
The next day, they flew to Hawaii.
She always thought Christmas was a holiday for family get-togethers. It was curious for him to talk business over this holiday.
On the lawn that stretched to the horizon, Tristan was playing golf with somebody. He looked very different from how he usually looked in a polo shirt and golf pants.
He was wearing sunglasses, and Kate could not see his eyes, but she could sense that the depression he had last night was gone.
His client also brought a girl of a similar age to Kate. They were lying in the lounges under the umbrella. They were also playing with their cell phones. After a while, the girl started the conversation and asked her what game she was playing.
Kate said, “I am studying Primary French.” The girl stared at her for a few seconds, like seeing an alien. And then she went back to her games silently.
Kate, in fact, wasn’t that studious at home, but when she saw this girl and the way she acted, she started to have crisis awareness. She was afraid one day she would turn into something like her, unable to live without the luxurious lifestyle.
She needed to remind herself every second and prepare herself for a normal life after the agreement term was over.
After she got tired of seeing the cell phone screen, she lifted her eyes. Tristan looked outstanding among his companions. His walking, swinging the club, bending to pick the ball was so graceful.
As a layman to this kind of sport, she felt his movements were accurate and professional. She sighed and wondered what kind of world he would bring her to.
After they finished the game as well as the business talk, Tristan seemed quite delighted. He even dragged her onto the green to teach her golf.
Kate resisted, as it didn’t belong to her original world. But Tristan persuaded her that she should give everything a try. If she didn’t like it after trying, she could just give up.
He taught her the rules, the pose, and stood behind her and held her hand, leading her hands in swinging the club. This kind of intimate position made her body stiff. He said to her, “Relax.”
And the word also evoked her untimely memory.
The dinner with his client also gave her the jitters. With so many forks and spoons on the table, she had to focus all her attention on preventing any mistakes.
After they got back to their hotel room, Tristan pushed her to the French window and kissed her. The background was the resplendent night view.
Kate thought of her family. They were probably enjoying the feast of the year. Her mother and sisters might be busy in the kitchen, and her brother and father were watching games on TV in the living room.
Her clothes were stripped piece by piece without her knowledge. When the bell in the far distance struck, signaling a new day, she was being tortured and was moaning underneath him.
After he finished, Tristan held her in his arms behind her in the tub. He kissed her ear and asked, “You like it?”
Kate didn’t reply.
