Chương 72: Never again
"Miss Vancroft..." By now Quince had clenched and unclenched his fists at least 10 times.
"You know what? It still feels heavy! I should probably take my undergarments off too." Queen's voice came from behind, sounding thoughtful.
'Take ou....out more?! Under what?! Over my dead body!' Thinking that Quince immediately shouted,"No! It's not because of that!"
"Hmmmm...."the drunk girl behind hummed in reply,"Then what could it be? Do you know why?And why aren't you looking at me?" She sounded confused at the end of her sentence.
"It's your wig." Quince gritted his teeth before replying.
"Aha..."Queen nodded distractedly behind him, not that he could see her with his back facing her. "You did say that before...but it doesn't feel like it."
"It is! I promise you. Now if you would behave for one minute, I would go out to grab a towel for you. Then you can put on the bathrobe and I will help you take off the wig." Quince took a deep breath as he tried to coax her.
"Really....?" Queen sounded unsure. After all how could a simple wig be so heavy?
Thinking back on how she had to carry swords to fight war long ago, she concluded that those were definitely heavier! The armor was heavy too and it bounded her body tightly, so she linked the two in her mind and thought about taking off her clothes.
But the light breezy feeling she expected to get was nowhere to be found. On the contrary, she was feeling colder and heavier with each passing moment.
Quince waited for her answer with his heart beating wildly as if waiting to sign a billion dollar business contract.
Finally Queen decided to trust her cat and gave her consent.
"Alright then but..."
Quince didn't wait to listen to her as he immediately dashed out of the bathroom, grabbing the towel and bath robe before rushing right back.
He had his eyes half closed as he walked back towards her. He focused only on her face. 'I can't see anything else, no I can't see her long legs, no I can't see the full roun...I can't see a thing!'
Let's just say Quince had one of the most difficult 30 seconds of his life.
He reached her and wrapped the big towel around her body fully covering her. He then open his eyes and looked at her.
She looked really tired and ready to collapse at any moment. He held onto her shoulders and walked her slowly towards the bathroom door.
Just as they were standing by the door, Queen suddenly stopped walking.
"What's wrong?" Quince turned back to look at her as he was standing slightly in front.
"I want to take a bath." Queen voiced out droopily.
"You're too drunk to..." Quince started protesting but before he could say anything more, the lady behind him unexpectedly raised her leg and gave him a firm kick on his behind.
Surprised by the sudden attack, Quince was successfully kicked out by her. He was shocked by her action but turned as soon as he got a hold of himself. Though he immediately spun back, it was too late as all he could see was the bathroom door slamming shut in his face.
He immediately knocked the door continuously and called her. "Miss Vancroft! Miss Vancroft! Come out of the bathroom!"
"Shut up! So noisy!" A sound from inside the bathroom replied and in the next moment Quince heard the shower turning on once more.
Quince rubbed his face and groaned frustratedly. He glared at the door and thought angrily,'If she doesn't come out in 10 minutes, I'm going to destroy the damn door.'
He kept pacing back and forth in front of the door, counting the minutes in his mind. Just as he reached 5 minutes, he got a text from his driver informing him that he was now standing in front of the hotel room.
Quince cursed in his heart as he completely forgot about it. He walked briskly to the door before swinging it open.
"What is it Mr.Yu?" Quince asked.
"Here are your clothes Master Quince." The driver replied respectfully.
The truth was, Quince already anticipated that Mr.Antonio would ask him to stay the night. After all, in their previous dealings, he had always done so and Quince had always refused.
This time, due to the direct order given by the head of the group, he had no choice but to accept it. So he prepared his clothes in advance and asked the driver to bring it up to him at a specific time.
The thing he didn't anticipate was the drunk girl in the bathroom. He couldn't let the driver know that she was here or else if it were to get back to his family, even if he explained the situation, there would be a price to pay.
Not to mention the fact that she was in disguise right now and he couldn't risk exposing her to others. Not until he knew her motive.
So when the driver opened his mouth to ask about Wan Lin, Quince's newest Secretary, Quince only told his driver that she had already left.
Usually Quince didn't lie as he never felt the need to do so. He had enough power to say the truth and not pay the consequences for them. Or even if he had to, he was prepared for them.
The driver looked confused but he believed Quince and drove the car home.
Quince was now in front of the bathroom once more. He was getting impatient as each second pass and Queen wasn't out yet.
'Last 40 seconds.' Quince muttered to himself, ready to plow the door down.
Luckily, he didn't have to destroy the hotel's property as within the next moment, the bathroom door swung open.
Queen stood in front of Quince, wrapped in the oversized towel and wig still firmly attached to her head.
Her face wasn't as red as before but she still looked pretty tipsy. Unbeknownst to Quince, this is actually one of Queen's top weaknesses.
Queen is terrible at drinking alcohol and would get drunk easily. During the first 40 minutes, no matter how much she drinks, she would look fine. But after that she would look as red as a tomato, instantly transforming her from sober to drunk.
Quince wasn't sure about her level of soberness so he decided to test her.
"Who are you?" He asked.
"The Queen! Do you have a problem with me?!" She replied instantly.
'Uh-huh, she's acting like a delinquent now too.' Quince massaged his brows slightly at the thought.
"Do you know who I am?" Quince asked.
"Hell, if you don't know who are, how do you expect me to...." Queen only said that before she trailed off as she squinted her eyes and looked closer at him.
"Oh hey....aren't you that guy who makes ramen on tv?!" She then broke out into a wide smile and walked closer to him. "What are you doing here?"
'This is going to be a long night.' Quince sighed to himself and made a vow to never let her touch alcohol again!

Chương 73: Candy’s sake
"Hehehe" Queen started giggling then. "Aww did you believe me? Of course I know who you are! You're my kitty cat!"
Quince narrowed his eyes and the vein on his forehead throbbed twice.
"Yes! That mighty cold expression as if you hold the power of ice! Who could it be but you?!" Queen started laughing loudly at her own joke. She was even clutching her stomach!
'She's drunk, she's drunk...but I swear to god if she weren't.....' Quince took a deep breath before bringing his thoughts back to the present.
"Let's get your wig out." Quince said as he ignored her earlier words. He began escorting her to the bed. But halfway through, she suddenly stopped walking.
Remembering the kick earlier, Quince was on guard this time and looked at her cautiously, ready to deal with anything that might be thrown his way.
"I'm tired." Saying that, she slumped to the ground. Quince immediately held her up before she could fully sit on the carpeted room.
"What are you doing?" Quince asked worriedly.
"I wanna sleep!" Queen wailed loudly and started throwing a tantrum. Quince held her tighter and tried consoling her.
"Just a bit more and we are going to reach the bed." Quince coaxed.
"I don't want to walk anymore. I just want to sleep." Queen complained and stared at his face. Quince felt his heart melt at her pouty expression and the tears threatening to fall from her eyes.
"It's alright. I'll carry you." He said and wrapped his arms around Queen's waist before carrying her easily to the bed.
As soon as Queen reached the bed, she laid down on it, with the towel still wrapped around her and her wig firmly attached to her head.
"Get up Miss Vancroft, you still have to wear something." Quince said and pulled her up.
Quince turned around to grab his cotton shirt from the pile of clothes he had. The shirt was slightly big for him, so for her it should become something similar to a skirt.
"Wear this." He said and handed the shirt over to Queen. She took it and flung the towel off her body, which landed perfectly on Quince's head, covering his sight.
Quince veins throbbed beneath the towel as he patiently waited for her with his head covered. By now he was too exhausted to count the many wrongs she committed tonight.
He waited for a while until he didn't hear a sound coming from her.
He cautiously took the towel off his face, opening his eyes slightly to check whether Queen was decent.
He saw that she was lying peacefully on the bed, her eyes closed with his shirt on. Just as expected, it reached her knees and became a skirt for her.
"Miss Vancroft...." Quince shook her shoulder as he tried to wake her up.
When she didn't respond, Quince yanked her up straight, murmuring words of consolation as Queen complained and tried to go back to sleep.
Quince was now standing in front of the bed, while Queen sat in between his arms.
"Once I get the wig off, you'll be able to sleep." He said gently and got to work.
It took time but after a while, Queen stopped struggling under his gentle touch, making it easier for him.
Quince put all his concentration on taking her wig off. There were many pins attached to it and it would take quite some time to free her hair.
Queen sleepily looked up at Quince then, her eyes in a daze as she watched him.It took a while for realization to dawn in.
'Kitty cat in front of me.' She thought and impulsively reached her hands out to hug his waist just as Quince pulled her wig off.
Queen's brown caramel hair was released and it tumbled down into waves upon waves, resting gently on her back.
Quince stood frozen stiff at her unexpected touch. She liked to tease him but throughout their interaction, she doesn't usually initiate body contact unless she wants to win or annoy him.
"What's wrong?" He asked her gently as he gazed down at her. He couldn't see her expression as her face was hidden.
She shook her head against his stomach, making him feel slightly ticklish.
Then she abruptly raised her head up to stare at him. One of the most beautiful smiles graced her face as she looked at him with wide sparkly eyes.
"I'm just glad you're here." She said softly.
Quince was awestruck at her expression and at that moment he realized how much he missed her. He missed her eyes, almost golden with a touch of brown. He missed her hair, the soft touch making him almost dizzy.
But most of all he realized how much he missed her smile. So enchanting and brilliant as if containing all the brightness in the universe.
Quince knew he was being silly, after all it was just a few days since they last met. For candy's sake, she was with him the whole day today!
But then again, that person was Wan Lin. His mighty cold secretary, not his bubbly cheerful fiancée who loves teasing him.
Quince used one hand to hug her back and ran his other hand through her hair as he looked in her eyes. He smiled gently and said,
"I'm glad you're here too."
"Quince....." Queen murmured lightly and nestled her face against his stomach once more.
"Hmm....?" Quince asked in reply. He waited for a bit and when there was no movement from her, he slowly entangled her hands from his waist.
Only to see that she was fast asleep.
Quince smiled lightly and tucked her in, as she drove in to dreamland.
