Billionaire’s Mistress

Chapter 7



Edmund’s pov

It was already very late when I came back. As soon as I entered the room, I saw Leanna in a night robe standing at the door with a blank face.

“You haven’t slept yet?” I glanced at her and said.

She nodded. Seeing that I was about to change my shoes, she immediately ran to me and squatted down. She took off the soft leather slippers from the shoe rack and put them beside my feet.

Looking down at the back of her head, I suddenly felt that she looked as cute as a toy with a thin skeleton.

“Are you waiting for me?” She put on her shoes and asked.

She raised her head. Under the light, her big black and white eyes emitted a faint dark light, bright and clear, which made my heart soft.

“Get up. You don’t have to do this in the future.” I walked to the living room.

When she arrived at the living room, she saw that I was taking off my coat. She hurried forward and reached out to take it.

I found that she behaved abnormally tonight, so I turned around and looked at her. “Do you have something to tell me?”

She glanced around and pretended to be relaxed. “No… no… didn’t… Oarlan come back with you?”

“He went to the bar.” I sat down on the sofa and rubbed my temple.

After putting my coat away, Leanna went to the dining room to pour a glass of water and handed it to me. I took the water and glanced at her. She looked a little nervous and didn’t know where to put her hands. She flipped her black hair that was scattered on her shoulders.

Her action was very inadvertent, but she was wearing a night robe, or because she just got up from the bed lazily, her simple action gave people an incomparably charming feeling.

I smiled with self mockery and withdrew my sight. When I was about to drink water, a light flashed in my eyes.

When I took a closer look, I found that the ear studs that should have been quietly lying on my bedside table had been put on Leanna’s ears.

At this time, I have roughly understood why she didn’t sleep at night and waited for me to come back. She seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

“It’s late. Go to bed.” Then I stood up and was about to go back to my room.

“Mr. Edmund…” as expected, she stopped me.

After a short pause, the corners of my mouth slightly upward, revealing an unnoticeable smile. I turned around and looked at her, pretending to be confused. “What’s up?”

“Well… Well…” she hesitated.

“The earrings are beautiful.” Noticing her embarrassment, I stopped her from saying anything.

Her face flushed a little. She lowered her head and said in a low voice, “my sister gave it to me.”

“Sister?” This is the second time I heard this name today. After thinking for a moment, I asked, “that sick sister?”

Leanna’s POV

He remembered?

A trace of surprise flashed through my heart, but then my face turned even redder.

He remembered my sister, and of course he remembered the night I spent with him three years ago.

“Yes…” I nodded and lowered her voice.

“Has he recovered?” Although he asked this question, it was obvious that he didn’t really care about it.

“Thanks to you.” If it weren’t for the money Edmund gave me, my sister would have died, let alone studying in England.

“Thanks to you.”

He glanced at me indifferently.

I understand what he meant. He said that he bought my body with money. There is a fair deal between me and him.

For a moment, I felt a little ashamed, so I lowered my head and didn’t say anything.

He cleared his throat and said, “since your sister gave you the earrings, don’t take them off again. Next time, if they were picked up by the cleaning staff of your club, they might not be returned.”

Hearing this, I immediately raised my head and asked, “did you pick up these earrings in this room?”

“Or what?” He asked.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and my tense nerves finally relaxed.

If the earrings were picked up in the presidential suite, it meant that he didn’t know it was me in the club room last night.

Well, I don’t have to worry about that anymore.

Just forget it.

Without saying anything more, he turned around and went back to his room.

When I looked up at Edmund again, I only saw his broad back fading away. I am very familiar with this back. He left in this way for many nights three years ago.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

That night, I slept soundly.

Maybe I have already known the answer to my doubts, which makes me feel less stressed.

Although Edmund still remembered what had happened in the past, he didn’t show any sign of looking down on me or disliking me. I think he is a graceful and cultivated man. Obviously, my worries before were somewhat villainous.

The second morning, I was awakened by a cry for mercy.

When I got up and came to the living room, I saw a middle-aged man standing in front of Oarlan, cupping his hands and saying, “Oarlan, I beg you. Please put in a good word for Mr. Edmund and ask him to let us go. The business of the Hill family of the two generations can’t be lost like this…”

“Mr. Hyman, if I were you, I wouldn’t have been here at this time. Do you know the consequences of disturbing the president’s rest?” Oarlan sat cross legged on the sofa, looking sleepy.

“I know. I don’t want to do this either. I have no choice. My father has been so anxious about this matter that he is hospitalized. I’m afraid that if I can’t ask for Mr. Edmund’s forgiveness, my father…”

Oarlan turned her head impatiently. When I met his eyes, he immediately stood up and greeted me, “Miss Leanna, good morning.”

“Good morning…” I nodded at him. Afraid of getting in the way, I turned around and was about to go back to my room.

Oarlan immediately said, “Miss Leanna, the president won’t go out today. Arrange the breakfast and dinner for him.”

“Oh, okay.” “Mr. Edmund, do you have anything you want to eat recently?”

“What he wants most is you…” Oarlan said, raising his eyebrows at me with an ambiguous expression. His voice trailed off. Hearing that, my face flushed immediately. Before I could protest against his frivolity, he continued, “I arranged it.”

I secretly rolled my eyes in my heart and ignored him. Then I went back to my room to change my clothes.

Oarlan’s POV

Hyman rolled her eyes and couldn’t help asking, “Oarlan, who is this lady?”

“She is a housekeeper, but the most popular man in front of Mr. Edmund,. Mr. Edmund will do whatever she says.” I said mysteriously.

He would wear whatever clothes she prepared for the CEO.

He would eat whatever she ordered for the CEO.

As expected, he said, “I’m really sorry to disturb Oarlan’s rest in such an early morning. Since Mr. Edmund hasn’t got up yet, I won’t disturb him. Please Mr. Edmund, after he wakes up, say something nice. I will definitely repay.”

“No. Mr. Hyman, please.” I waved my hand and saw the guest out.

Leanna’s POV

After changing my clothes, I walked out of the bedroom again and found that the guest had left.

“Oarlan, what would you like for breakfast?” Seeing that Oarlan was about to go back to her room, I asked.

However, he only yawned and waved at me. “I don’t eat anything. I want to sleep. It’s rare for me to have a day off today. You don’t need to wake me up for lunch.”

I saw him enter the room and close the door. I was left alone in the living room in an instant.

I raised my head and looked at the big bell placed in the corner. The clock and the branch point were seven o’clock respectively.

Edmund won’t get up at this time, and Oarlan has gone back to sleep. So why should I get up so early?

……

At half past eight in the morning, Edmund finally got up. I asked someone to bring him breakfast and then stood at the table to serve him.

Edmund sat down, looked up at me and said, “sit down. Let’s eat together.”

“Thank you, Mr. Edmund. I have staff food.”

“Is there any fun place in City X?” He didn’t insist. He just slowly picked up the coffee in front of him, took a sip and asked.

“Er… Mr. Edmund, are you asking about the scenic spot?” I asked in a daze.

He nodded.

I lowered my head and thought for a while. Then I snapped my fingers and said, “the Ocean Park, the Dolphin Wharf, the Moon Park, the Wharf Island. It’s said that these places are very interesting.”

“Pick a place you like and go with me.” Edmund put down his cup and said.
