Chapter 48
Kenneth’s pov
Cliff knocks on the door and enters the study. “Sir, Eland has reserved a seat for a couple at the Island Restaurant.”
Hearing Cliff’s report, my fingers tapping on the keyboard paused, I took off my silver-rimmed glasses and “rubbed” the bridge of my nose. “Now these interns have so much time on their hands?”
“It seems like one day off a week.”
I have not forgotten what Eland said to Chris last week. It looks like he’s continuing to pursue Chris instead of giving up.
“Cancel the intern’s vacation. Since you are going to sign a contract, do not waste the company’s money and practice hard.”
“Yes sir, you will be out of the country this week and have one day off. Would you like me to help you meet Miss Chris?”
“All right, I miss her.” muttered I, for I have never slept well without a little woman sleeping beside me.
“Sir, would you like to take Miss Chris to a special place? Miss Chris can relax there, and it’s not easy to be discovered.”
I looked at him coldly. “Am I afraid that others will see me when I am with her?”
“Ahem, sir, of course I am not saying you are afraid. You do not care much about Miss Chris’s feelings, or you would not be giving in everywhere.”
I have a headache thinking about it, but that can soon be remedied. After all, the little woman refused to cancel the agreement with Warren, and when I met her, it was as if we’d had an affair.
“Damn care.” I furiously flipped the computer shut, lit a cigarette and smoked heavily.
“Yes, I think you are getting deeper and deeper into the abyss of love. What about Miss Chris? Does she have feelings for you?”
“She only has the gigolo in her heart.” I spat out the smoke ring, even though I have it all now, but I can not hold a woman’s heart.
Cliff shook his head. “That’s not necessarily true. I think you are anything better than that gigolo. Maybe someday Miss Chris will like you. As long as you are more gentle and considerate, the overbearing president in the novel is like that.”
My eyes lit up. “You think I have a chance?”
“A great chance!”
“OK, go ahead and book the Shelly Hot Springs, and I’ll take them out for fun tomorrow.”
“Well, if you succeed, do not forget to raise the salary for me.”
Chris’s Pov
Half an hour later, I received a call from Eland. He said they did not have a vacation tomorrow and the appointment was canceled. They could not meet until after practice.
I appeased him with a few words, but my heart was relieved.
Shortly after I hung up, another number answered. I had not saved this number, but I knew who was calling.
After swallowing down the saliva, I cautiously answered, “Hello.”
“Have you slept yet?”
“I am in bed, I have not fallen asleep yet.”
“I’d like to see you tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow I have….”
Before I could decline, Kenneth interrupted me. “At eight in the morning I’ll be waiting for you downstairs. If I do not come down, I’ll do what I want. If you are even one minute late, you will suffer the consequences.”
By the time he said that, he had already hung up, and I was so angry that I threw my phone away. “Hum, you said you would see me if you wanted to see me. Do you think you are the emperor or the king? I do not want to see you!”
I buried my face and fell asleep, but I woke up at seven. I was not in the habit of sleeping late.
I looked at my watch. It’s still an hour before eight of the clock.
What will he do if I do not go?
His facial expression and tone immediately came to my mind. “Woman, if you do not come, I am going to tell the Wilson family about us.”
I scratched my hair fiercely, bored out of my mind. Will he have something for me, for life?
Reluctantly, I went to pick out clothes.
Last time he bought me a bunch of clothes that I did not wear once, and I do not know why I want to dress nicely today.
When I reached for black lace when choosing underwear, I did not realize that my subconscious was getting closer and closer to his favorite style.
Unexpectedly, I was also wearing light makeup, so I was five minutes late and hurried.
Downstairs in the apartment, a Rolls-Royce is parked, and the man leans against the car as if no one is watching, “sticking” one hand into his pants pocket at will.
Golden hair swaying in the wind, blue pupils like the blue sky of today.
Wherever he goes, it’s the scene from the cartoon.
“Little Chris, how can I punish you for being six minutes late?” A demonic voice rang in my ear.
I had almost forgotten how good looking this man was and what he had to do with the devil.
“Uncle….” I called out timidly.
“Come here.”
When I got to him, he took him in his arms. “Little Chris, how can I punish you?”
The voice full of magnetism rang in my ear. I do not know if it was because he was too handsome. My heart beat faster at that moment, and my little face was shy and flushed.
“Uncle, do not punish me, okay?”
“Not good.” He clasped my chin and slowly landed on my red lips.
Not a possessive strong kiss like before, but with a silky soft face blowing like the spring breeze.
Such a gentle kiss is not unpleasant to me, the heart beats faster, the whole person is no longer like his own.
Kenneth let go of me. “You are beautifully dressed today.”
My face grew even redder, as if I’d been dressed especially for him. “That…. You have lipstick on your lips.”
“Wipe it off.”
“Oh.” I reached out my index finger and caressed his lips, but he dragged me into the car. Even though he changed cars, I can still remember everything that made people blush in the car that night.
I quickly changed the subject. “Uncle, where are we going today?”
“You’ll find out when you get there. But have breakfast first.”
“Oh.”
I opened the box and found it was full of my favorite foods.
He actually remembered all the dishes I like to eat!Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
“Try it.”
I picked up the chopsticks and ate a sandwich that tasted the best to me and was warm.
“It’s delicious. Do you want to try it?” All I see is food.
“OK, I’ll try it.” Kenneth bent over the chopsticks, but instead of biting into the sandwich on my chopsticks, he bit my lip.
I looked at him stunned, “You, you, you….”
