Substitute Bride For Young Master
Chapter 8's
When he woke up the next day, Lorie's head was slightly dizzy and heavy. Last night he could not sleep well because his brain did not want to work together. His eyes can only be closed after one o'clock in the morning, even after he covered his ears with earphones and listened to classical music that flowed gently from the ipod.
Just sitting down, his phone lying on the table immediately rang so loudly that it made him jump in shock.
“Sialang. Surprised me ...,” grumbled the woman reached out to pick up her phone.
There were two messages from Amber and one from Drun Industry representatives.
Amber:
Aunty, tomorrow there's a parent meeting, Daddy's coming with us to school! I'm so happy!
Amber:
Aunty, I woke up and remembered you.
Lorie smiled faintly reading the message sent last night and typing a reply message.
Gud luck, Sweetie. Take good care of your papa, looks like Miss Christabel likes it.
I missed you too. Hug.
Miss Christabel is the homeroom of triplets. Several times Lorie finds the woman stealing glances at Alex while they are driving the children to school, but of course Alex does not turn to her at all. Perhaps the man was not even aware of the presence of the blond woman. Lorie secretly laughs at Miss Christabel's misfortune, then reads a message from a recently entered Drun Industry representative.
Lorie's Deputy CEO, Mr Rafael, asked me to confirm whether the meeting could go ahead today? Mr. Rafael has 18:00 at the Royal Club.
Lorie looked at the digital clock seen on the top row of her phone. It's still early enough. He has no plans to go anywhere today, just wants to laze around in the hotel, so it doesn't seem to matter if Drun Industry wants to advance the schedule.
Okay. At 18:00 at the Royal Club today.
After replying to the message, Lorie went to take a shower. As he stood in front of the sink and saw the thick dark circles under his eyes, he groaned desperately.
While soaking in the bathtub, Lorie compressed her eyes with an ice pack wrapped in a small towel, hoping it could reduce her horrifying-looking eyes. Fortunately when he wore a towel and dried the body, the dark circles were much reduced. However, he decided to go back to sleep after breakfast.
Lorie was stunned because the white shirt Raymond wore made the man look so charming. Raymond almost lost focus as the water droplets soaked Lorie's hair and neck looked like diamond grains rolling over marble. The bathrobe that only reached the thigh exposed Lorie's limbs which made Raymond gulp with difficulty and wrestle with himself to turn his face away.
“Oh. Sorry, I thought you were a room service officer,” Lorie said as soon as Raymong turned the other way. “I ... I change clothes first.”
“Oke.”
Raymond stared at the door that was closing in front of him and cleared his hoarse voice.
God fucking. Why did he never realize that Lorie was quite charming? Is it because she always wears closed clothes? As he remembered, while still a bodyguard Kinara was always wearing official clothes that made Raymond think he was filming Man in Black.
“You're in?” bargain Lorie while peeking out from behind the door. She already wears an orange blouse and black jeans that make her look fresher, even looking like a girl in her early 20s.
Once again Raymond was stunned to stare at that makeupless face and gulped. Lorie's face remains attractive even without *make-up*, the freckles on her cheeks actually make the woman look prettier.
“Raymond?”
“Oh .. I .. just wanted to take you to breakfast together. There is a pretty good restaurant next to the hotel,” muttered Raymond without letting go of his gaze from Lorie.
Lorie looked out while asking, “Where is Alice?”
“He left last night.”
“Oh ...”
So they don't sleep together? I think ....
