After a short pause, Charles continued, "So I asked David to investigate the whole thing and then found out your true identity."
"You mean... you knew that I was Autumn Ye the whole time?" Autumn swallowed hard as she couldn't believe her ears.
"I did." Charles nodded and said, "You and Yvonne Gu both worked at the Shining Company before. If I hadn't informed the HR manager first, you wouldn't have been employed so easily."
Autumn cursed herself in silence for having been so careless.
"You..." Embarrassed, Autumn thought to herself, 'If Charles knew that I was Autumn Ye from the very beginning, why did he sleep with me yesterday morning?'
"It is you, who I love." Charles looked into her eyes and stated seriously, "Whoever you are, Autumn Ye or Yvonne Gu, I love you, the person in front of me right now. Got it?"
Autumn blushed with shyness as she felt embarrassed by Charles's confession of love. She looked so pretty under the yellow light.
Although Charles was not some teenager who had just lost his virginity, Autumn was so irresistible to him that he couldn't bear it anymore. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her on the lips.
"What are you doing..." Autumn mumbled, trying to push him away. Charles, of course, was unwilling to stop. He grabbed both of her hands with one hand, and gently cupped her breast with the other. Ashamed, Autumn scolded him. Charles was not angry at all, but teased, "You fit in my hand perfectly, Autumn. "
He leaned down, his hands on either side of her head. "I want you, " he murmured and made love to her gently.
Autumn was a bit shy in the beginning, but after thinking about his sincere confession, she got over her shyness and accepted him whole-heartedly. Her body shivered as she felt so full.
That night, Charles and Autumn had sex again and again. He didn't stop until he heard Autumn beg. When Autumn woke up the next morning, Charles was gone. She looked at the clock to find that it was already noon.
Autumn cleaned herself up and walked downstairs to have breakfast. Gary was reading the newspaper on the sofa. When he saw her, Gary greeted, "Good morning."
Autumn had a dry cough and she blushed with shyness.
She felt embarrassed as she woke up so late. She assumed that Gary may have taken her to be a lazy person. "Grandpa, good morning, " she responded.
"Charles said that you were exhausted last night and asked us not to wake you up. So I didn't ask you to have breakfast earlier." Autumn's face became even redder at what Gary had said. Charles had been talking to everyone about what they did last night.
Damn!
"What would you like to eat? I'll ask Nancy to make it for you, " Gary asked. Autumn's face was as red as a ripe tomato. She immediately answered, "That's not necessary, Grandpa. I'll make it myself."
Autumn went to the kitchen and found Nancy there. The moment she saw Autumn, she stepped aside in silence as she refused to talk to her.
Autumn didn't mind that at all. She made some noodles for herself. After having the noodles, she went upstairs to send her applications.
