The next morning, Kaylee woke up first. She looked down and saw Christopher lying fast asleep with his head on her chest. His right arm was tightly wrapped around her waist. She smiled and caressed his hair.
She stayed like that for almost an hour before trying to wake him up. She patted his cheek. "Hey." The right part of her body is starting to numb.
When Christopher didn't move, she tried again. "Hey Top, can you wake up for a bit?"
Christopher stayed still, he just moved his hand and held Kaylee's hand.
"Can you move? I'm starting to feel numb."
When he heard her say that, he automatically lifted his head and looked at her. "I'm sorry." He said as he sat on the bed.
He held her face and leaned over to kiss her. "Good morning."
"Good morning-- AHH"
Christopher was about to touch her arm but Kaylee started to scream. "DON'T! DON'T TOUCH ME!"
Christopher blinked. He doesn't know whether to laugh or to cry.
After a minute, Kaylee started to feel at ease.
Christopher looked at her. "You okay?"
She looked at him and nodded. "I'm sorry is just that—"
Christopher placed his index finger on her lips. "I know."

Living room.
Liam and Charlotte looked at each other when they heard Kaylee scream.
At the same time, the woman in front of them subconsciously stood up and looked straight to where the screams came from.
When Charlotte sensed it she looked at her and raised her eyebrow. "From the look of it, you seem like you were about to rush toward them."
Liam looked at Charlotte and told her not to say anything.
Charlotte rolled her eyes.
The woman fakes her cough. "For how long do I need to wait? I need to talk to President Jarvis."
Liam smiled at her apologetically. "I'm sorry to make you wait, I'm going to get him now."
The woman nodded. "Thank you."
Her long white silver hair was tucked behind her ears. She's wearing a silver dress that matches her eyes.
She gently sat down on the couch and waited patiently.
On the other hand, Liam was about to knock when Christopher opened the door.
Christopher looked at him. "Why?"
"You have a guest."
Christopher frown. "A guest? No one knew about this place."
Liam gave him a look and said he should check it himself.
Christopher nodded and was about to go when Liam stopped him. "Wait?"
"What?"
"You're going there like that?"
Christopher ignored him and went to the living room.
Charlotte stood up when she saw her brother approaching them. Her eyes widen. "Onii-chan, what the heck!?"
When the woman saw Christopher, she was taken aback. She blinked and then after a few seconds, she looked away.
"Miss Vermillion?"
She coughed. "Yes, President Jarvis. I think you should wear your clothes first before anything else," she said without looking at him.
Christopher looked at Liam. "Why didn't you tell me?"
Liam shrugged.
Christopher is only wearing his shorts, he was actually topless. He returned to their room to get a shirt and then returned to the living room.
"Can I ask how Miss Vermillion knew about this place?" Christopher asked gently.
This chapter is boring heheh. Hi, again I need to read this story again. So maybe. just maybe I am going to update every other day. I'm so shock that you guys are still here with me. Thanks a lot.
"Can I ask how Miss Vermillion knew about this place?" Christopher asked gently.
She looked at him and said in a plain voice, "I just happened to be here yesterday and saw you guys moving in." She paused and then looked around. "Since your place seems to be peaceful, if it's okay with you, we can discuss our business here."
Christopher gently looked at her and said, in a businessman-like tone, " It's okay with me wherever you want. It's just that I don't want to trouble you by coming all the way here just to discuss our business proposal with you."
Noelle waved her hand. "I don't mind. I have a friend not too far away from here." She paused again. "It seems like your other assistant isn't here."
Christopher sighed and looked at Noelle with a questioning look. "You mean my girlfriend? She's upstairs, taking a bath."
Noelle gritted her teeth, trying to contain her irritation. "Is she the one I heard earlier? Begging you not to touch her. What did you do to her?"
Christopher was becoming serious. "I don't do anything. Her arm turned numb that's why she subconsciously yelled not to touch her. Now. Tell me, Miss Vermillion, why you're so interested in my girlfriend." He paused and then crossed his arm. "You don't seem to have a bad intention towards her."
Noelle bit her lower lip and was about to say something but Christopher cut her off.
"And I can see the resemblance between the two of you? Are you somehow related to her?"
Noelle was taken aback. She blinked. "Do we really resemble each other?"
Christopher nodded.
Liam and Charlotte looked at Noelle trying to find the resemblance between Kaylee and Noelle.
"So tell me. Are you related to her in any way?"
Noelle pressed her lips together and looked at the two, who had been looking at her for a while now. She sighed and looked back at Christopher again. "Can I talk to you privately?"
Christopher looked at Liam and nodded.
Even though he's curious too, he needs to leave and bring Charlotte along because they haven't signed a contract yet. It's better to give what President Vermillion wants.
Charlotte stumped her feet while Liam was dragging her alone. "Why do we have to leave?" She said irritatedly.
"They have to talk about business."
Charlotte looked at him sharply. "Is Kaylee a business?"
"Look-"
"I know. You don't need to tell me." She cut Liam out and walked out.
"Hey. Are you mad?"
Charlotte stopped on her truck. "As if." She said and walked straight to her room.
--
"Now we're alone. Can you tell me now?"
Noelle crossed her arms and her legs. "Tell me first what do you need with Kaylee?"
Christopher frowns. "What do you mean?"
Noelle looked at him seriously and said, "If you'll hurt and leave her in the end, do it now."
After hearing those words Christopher's aura turned cold. "Are you saying, you want me to break up with her?"
Noelle felt the change in Christopher's aura and the way he talked. "That's right."
Christopher grin. "Not gonna happen."
