Harriet realized that she had made some trouble.
Pursuing Wesley? It sounded funny, but what’s even weirder was that he was actually interested.
It was such a miserable first day in New Zealand, but thankfully Wesley didn't bother her that night, so she could take a good rest.
The nest day, Harriet woke up, and found that Wesley, instead of getting up early as usual, had his eyes closed and seemed to be sleeping.
Observing his long, warped, bushy lashes, Harriet mysteriously reached out her hand.
But just as she was about to touch his lashes, Wesley suddenly opened his eyes, and for a moment it was awkward.
“Your eyelashes are so long, can you tell me which kind of mascara you use?”
Harriet suddenly came to her senses and was no longer sleepy in the morning.
“Oh, I mean, you're so handsome, even your eyelashes are so beautiful.”
Wesley rarely neglected her wrong expression and got up to get dressed, “Have you decided on your plan for the day?”
Harriet suddenly grasped what he meant. With her eyebrows twitching, she had to get up to dress.
She’s been with Wesley for these two years, so she knew his lifestyle. Pursuing him was like to please him, which was so easy for Harriet.
Then, Harriet leaned forward and winked at him, “Let me help you tie.”
Wesley did not say no. And when Harriet was tying for him, he smelt the perfume on her hands.
“Would you like me to make you breakfast? Or do you prefer the breakfast prepared by the hotel?”
“Of course, I prefer the breakfast made by you.”
Harriet smiled, “Well, I wonder what you would like to eat today?”
“Up to you.”
Such a mode of communication made Harriet think of the days when they were at peace, “Wesley, do you think we are like a honeymoon couple?” She said wryly.
Then, she felt painful on her lip.
“Oh, Wesley, you...” Harriet wanted to say that sentence “Are you born in the year of dog?”, but finally she gave up.
Harriet thought that It's not worth getting angry about.
Wesley let go of her, squinting slightly with a playful look, “You want to be Mrs. Smith?”
Harriet's heart skipped quickly, and said, “Mr. Smith, I’m not so silly. I was just making a harmless joke.”
Wesley snorted coldly, “You should know that.”
Harriet had been used to such ironies for a long time. With a grin on her face, she straightened the man's tie and went to work in the kitchen.
Her value in keeping Wesley around was serving him, just acting like a canary serving his patron.
During staying in New Zealand, Harriet did her best to please Wesley, preparing him delicious meals, helping him with personal chores, and even researching New Zealand resorts and acting as a conscientious tour guide.
Wesley was easy to get along with these days. He didn’t drag her to bed if he felt unhappy, and he did not mind Harriet’s “pursuing”, because he's busy in dealing with his business.
Today was his last day in New Zealand. When Wesley has finished his official duties, he would come back tomorrow.
“Mr. Smith, this is the tour plan for the afternoon. Would you like to have a look? Has your work time been delayed?” Harriet pulled out a schedule like a senior secretary.
