Two seconds later, the hickey was covered by Suny's lipstick mark. Now, it looked redder, of course, more obvious than before, but the vintage red was elegant and classic.
"Keep that."
"Of course," Austin looked down at it admirably.
"Let's go." Anyway, she wouldn't the one being humiliated.
But when they walked to the garage and got in the car, Suny changed her mind. It wasn't still appropriate for a president of the company to wear a lipstick mark on his neck, right?
"Austin, come here."
"What's wrong?"
"Wipe it off."
"Didn't you want me to keep it?"
He looked at her with a faint smile. Suny took out a wet tissue from her bag to cover that lipstick. She failed to wipe it off on her first try.
"The lipstick is dry, I need to use a bit more force. So, it might hurt a little bit." Suny succeeded in wiping the lipstick after several tries, but Austin's skin turned red. She felt a little sorry for him.
Suny had just finished the routine meeting when she received a call from her grandpa. Charlie asked her if she had time to join his lunch today.
"Have you just arrived? Why didn't you let me pick you up?" Suny was a bit shocked.
"I visited a friend in the afternoon yesterday. Your brother had arranged the place for me to stay, so you don't have to worry."
Yesterday afternoon? Suny thought back Austin's kisses last night. They were strange, specifically, more intense and fervent than before. But last time, her heart was ruled by her head when Austin climbed on her. Now it seemed that the person whom Austin had met last night was not a business partner, but her grandfather.
"I am okay. Where are you? I came to you?"
"You have to work. I'll come to you."
Suny chose a nearby restaurant. After the call, Suny stared blankly at her phone for a moment. It wasn't until Rosa knocked on the door and entered that Suny came back to her senses.
"Miss Holland, this is the report sent by Mr. Shaw."
"Put it down. Reschedule my work for the next few days. My grandfather is here."
"Okay, Miss Holland."
Suny picked up her bag and walked out of the office building. She didn't drive to the company this morning, so Suny planned to take a taxi back to drive her car over. Charlie couldn't walk for a long time, so she needed to drive.
When Suny arrived at the restaurant, it was a quarter past twelve. Charlie was waiting for her.
"Grandpa Charlie!"
"Have you finished your work?"
"Yes."
Suny put down her handbag, wandering her eyes around Charlie. She could tell that Charlie was in a good mood. Suny poured a cup of tea for Charlie. They hadn't seen each other for a long time. They talked about a lot of things, but Charlie didn't bring up about the dark history.
Neither did Suny as if they were doing the little mind games.
