Let's Get Married novel Chapter 45

He sits on the edge of the bed and looks at her sleeping face. Wondering whether if it is because of over-shocked that makes her eyebrows still wrinkles and long eyelashes flickers, very insecure.

Rex feels irritated, and then turns to the balcony to smoke.

He extracts out the cigarette with his fingertips and closes the balcony door. He then takes a deep breath and spits it out slowly. But all of it doesn’t heal his emotion.

He has never believed in destiny. For him, everything only needs management and procedures, such things as destiny are too ambiguous that he never takes it seriously.

The woman, who is lying on the bed behind him, is a stranger for him last month. But now, after a month, she suddenly bursts into his world, breaks his previous imagination and gives him lots of unexpected things.

She can influence him, not only the body but also feelings.

Moreover, this influence exceeds his imagination. He fights merely because of her, even he could not believe it.

After smoking a tube, his phone vibrates in the pocket. He frowns as looking at the screen and picks it up.

Over the phone, Bernard, who just from the surveillance room of the red club, speaks, “Boss, I’ve copied the video and Pehry had asked people to eliminate the camera of the ally.”

His voice sinks in the night, says coldly, “Save a backup and hand it to me tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

“Oh right,” Bernard replies, “Pehry asked what we should do to the men.”

The smoke sucks into his lungs and soon dissipated from his nose. His voice’s cold as if it is a small issue. “Throw them away.”

Bernard holds the phone tightly, says nothing much, “Okay, Boss.”

Lily sleeps till morning and opens her eyes vaguely; the man besides her is still there.

She rubs her eyes. Wondering if it is because of her motion wakes him up, his eyes are opened yet still sleepy.

Lily supports her hand on the bed to sit up. When she is just about to sit up, he stops her by pressing her shoulder. With a husky voice he says, “Don’t move.”

Lily freezes, “Are you… not going to work?”

“Why, you want me to leave?”

“No….”

Rex’s rubs her neck, “Still dizzy?”

Lily tries to stretch left and right, “No.”

“I’ve helped you to ask for leave. Just get some rest, don’t go out.”

Hearing those words, Lily becomes anxious, “I’m fine, I’m going to work.”

She has just started working but had keep on taking a day off.

“The company goes fine without you, just rest for today.”

Seeing he insists, Lily rebels too. But anyway, it will end by what Rex said. Recalling the temper of Carlos at that time, Lily texts him she has asked for a leave.

Unexpectedly, when message is sent for not that long, Carlos calls her.

Lily intuitively glances at Rex. He looks at the caller ID then back at her, raising his eyebrows.

If don’t answer… it is impolite.

After hesitating for a few second, she finally presses the green button, “Hello?”

“How are you? Are you feeling sick?”
