Chapter 30: Returning to work
The young man did not seize to shock her with every action but she must say that they were all pleasant surprises that she would have blushed about if she was not feeling too tired and sleepy.
The silky beddings rubbed against her skin so pleasantly that she moaned softly and further dug into it. She covered her head and curled up like a ball.
"You are not sick anymore. You should stand up and get ready for work," a male voice said sounding so close to her she froze and swallowed.
The memories of all that happened last night came flooding and she pulled the duvet down from her face and looked at the man who stood at the end of her bed with a towel around his waist.
She looked at the toned torso and taken aback, she pulled the duvet over her face again. "Did anything happen?" she murmured under the blanket as she felt any feeling of discomfort.
She was alright, no ache nothing. He had not touched her. She could finally pull the duvet down and looked at the man dressing up in her room like he owned the house.
Well, of course, he does but she bought it at a very high price that many at her age could afford so it was not his house for everything in the world.
He was an intruder for goodness sake.
She got down from the bed unwilling and headed to the bathroom to begin her morning ritual so she could go to work.
He caught her wrist and turned her to face him. "You could even say something to me?" he asked her wearing a smirk. She wished she could wipe off his face with the back of her hand on his face.
With the way he always stayed stone-faced, she never knew he will look so cool with such a sly smirk lifting a corner of his mouth.
She looked away at the window he must have opened because it was closed when she left the room last night. He must be feeling so much at home in her home without her invitation and permission.
She was beginning to feel like she needed to give the shameless tag. It will fit him well for everything in the world.
"Good morning," she told him looking away from him as she did not want to see any more of that shamelessness in full display.
He pinched her chin and raised her head to meet his gaze. He smiled and placed a kiss on her cheeks and then her lips. "Last night, you were very cruel to me," he told her seriously and smiled in acceptance. "But I will forgive you because you were sick."
She simply nodded since she had nothing to say to him as what was at the tip of her lips could be the death of her.
"No appreciation?" He asked with a disappointed smile like a doting boyfriend.
"Thanks for last night," she appreciated sincerely this time because she knew there was no way it would have been easy without him.
"It was a pleasure taking care of you but you got me worried. I will have to work hard to ensure that you take care of yourself until this is all over," he told firmly.
Her eyes twitched and she frowned when his hand caressed her jaw. His calloused finger which should be smoother as he was pampered all his life slid softly against her skin barely touching yet she could feel the warmth of it.
She shivered visibly and blushed in embarrassment before shaking his hand off and hurrying into the bathroom.
"You feel something too, don't you? I will leave now. Make sure you eat breakfast and lunch I will check on you later," he informed her.
She could only sigh in relief that he was leaving. None of these felt good at all. It scared her so much that she wished she could just run away.
Yeah, running away. That was a good idea, right? But she had work. Arghhh!!!
He took over her home and made her feel like a visitor.
When she got to the living room after dressing up for work, she was shocked to see a well-laid dining table. It was a simple breakfast when she opened the plates.
There were enough vegetables and a little meat dish. The rice was still hot so she sat down and dug her spoon in.
She looked at her the sink from where she sat down on the island eating and she concluded that he either ordered the food in the morning or reheated the last night's dish.
(The one he claimed he brought for her in case she was not sick.)
She received words of concern from her colleagues who were worried about her and those who had to do so for courtesy's sake.
She told them all that she was fine and she was sorry she had to miss work at the last minute yesterday and they were nice enough to tell her it was alright.
Some of her clients who refused to meet a replacement although the explained to them that she was not fine enough to come to work called or came over to see her.
She felt love but all that only grew the strong she felt to simply disappear into the thin air. She was regretting the fact that she felt Mr. Lu Tian would be an easy target.
Perhaps her thoughts were what go projected into the predicaments she was forced to face with him. She had become the easy prey in this case.
She was very easy. He could use his power and money to brush her off but she could not do any of those.
She wished she had not even considered him a match against her ability to entice and trap someone. Well, she won. She trapped him but he reciprocated her actions doubling her effort.
She made no effort in what she was doing because she did not do anything before, he got so interested in her and now he wants to get involved in her life physically and sexually.
"How do you feel now?" her fiancé called her for the second time that day sounding just as worried as the first although the first time, she told him she was fine.
"I am fine," she was forced to repeat what she told him only five hours ago.
"Have you eaten lunch?" he asked worriedly.
"No, I had a busy day, today but I will eat lunch later. I am busy at the moment," she hurriedly told him so she could continue what she was doing.
