Tracey had been waiting for Adam to come back and informed him of the stalker and that message. But he was back late, and he drank a lot.
He was tipsy. He kept awake, doing wash up before lying down on the bed.
Even if in a drunken stupor, he still considered Tracey to keep her away from the strong smell of alcohol.
"I'm sorry, Tracey. I came back late." He held her into arms and apologized.
"It doesn't matter, Adam. Go to sleep." Tracey saw his tired eyes and decided to tell him tomorrow. She didn't want to upset him at this moment.
She buried her head in his chest and held his waist. Only the familiar scent of Adam’s body could make Tracey feel at ease.
Tracey usually slept earlier than Adam. Tonight, because of the alcohol kick, he quickly fell asleep after saying goodnight.
Tracey lay down close to Adam. With him here, no matter who the stalker was, she had no reason to be afraid.
The next morning, Tracey woke up with a light face, and Adam got sober after a whole night's refreshment.
Seeing Tracey was getting dressed, Adam held her in arms. "Little bunny, I'm so happy to see you every morning."
Tracey got his point. He must have countless lonely mornings after waking up from drunkness.
'Adam, you won't be alone anymore." Tracey held him too, and she was about to tell him the stalker.
Adam suddenly said, "By the way, little bunny, I'm going on a business trip. Are you ok to live without me this time?"
"Business trip? Where are you going?" Although it was normal for them to be on a business trip, Tracey still felt reluctant to let Adam go.
"Paris. I had dinner with the president of Life last night, she wanted to explore the overseas market, and I also want to explore the European market."
"So, you both are going to work together?" Tracey soon understood. How she did not know Adam's ambition? But such an ambition was sometimes beneath his strong love.
"Correct, we will help each other. I have some business in Europe, but I haven't opened the market yet." "How long is your trip?" "About one month. Because I have to research the market. Baby, you don't know how much I want you to go with me. I'll be crazy if I don't see you for such a long time." Adam held Tracey tightly.
Tracey was busy recently, and she was unable to accompany Adam even if she was asked. She said, "It doesn't matter. A month will go fast."
"You're right. One month is not too long. New Year is around the corner, and I will come back earlier. Let’s celebrate it together." Adam kissed Tracey's hair, and his voice was full of love and care.
"When is your flight?"
"It's 10:00 a.m. I have left much work for Jensen yesterday, and Elli will come to help too. I’m not going to the company later." Adam said.
"Well, you don’t have to drive me today, let me drive you to the airport." Tracey checked the time. It was getting late, and it was just the right time to leave after having breakfast.
"I'll pack up for you." Tracey let go of Adam.
She began to arrange Adam's suitcase with the clothes that he might need, which made her more and more like his wife.
Adam looked at Tracey. Tenderness was full of his eyes, although he didn' t usually pack up a suitcase as someone would prepare all he needed at the destination.
But he still enjoyed Tracey's labor. She did this work so carefully, and every item she put in the suitcase was useful and not cumbrous.
