The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 56

When Charles Lu went upstairs, he saw Autumn working on some leaflets from the travel agency. She was looking for a place with beautiful view and a few visitors, so she could go with her Granny.

Granny was the one who had been looking after her all these years, and now that she was capable, it was time to repay her with respect.

"What are you looking at?" Charles stepped forward and saw a lot of web pages on the screen, most of which were travel advice. His brows knitted.

'Was she making travel plans? Why didn't I know anything about it?' he thought to himself.

"I am going through some leaflets I got from the travel agency today." Autumn was lying on the bed and turned over when she heard Charles coming in. She grabbed a pillow and put it under her head. "Now that I am not working, I'm thinking of taking this opportunity to go around. It is kind of a distraction for me."

"Which of these two places do you think I should go?" Charles was cold-faced. This little woman was totally not thinking of her husband. Going for a trip was such an important activity, but she kept it all to herself.

"This one." Charles pointed randomly at one place and sat beside her, sulking.

"Oh…this one…" Autumn hesitated and frowned slightly. "It is very nice but there is quite some climbing. And it's kind of crowded, I am afraid..."

"Take your time. I'll go take a shower." As sulky as Charles was, he left Autumn in the room, dumbfounded.

'What's the matter with him?' she wondered.

Soon Autumn forgot about it and devoted herself to finding out what places were suitable for the elderly to go.

When Charles stepped out of the bathroom, Autumn was still looking, taking notes with a pen occasionally. She went through the pros and cons of every travel destination carefully, making sure that Granny would have a comfortable trip.

Charles frowned and slammed the laptop, "It's too late, time for bed."

He thought he had already expressed his anger very clearly, but did not expect Autumn was absolutely unaware of it. Instead, she softly comforted him. "You go to bed first if you are sleepy. It'll take some more time."

... ...

Charles almost went mad inside but he kept his countenance and justified pretentiously, "It's too late, I have work tomorrow."

"It's you who has to go to work, and I don't." Throughout the years in Cloud Advertising, she almost dedicated all her time to work and was not used to this sudden recess at all. "You go to bed now. I will need a while."

Autumn said so and reached for the laptop. Charles was completely driven up the wall.

He threw the laptop aside, rolled over and pressed Autumn under his body. She smelled so nice and her body was so soft that he was shamefully now turned on.

"Hey... Charles, what are you doing?" Autumn was pressed under his body before she was even able to react. Although she had agreed to Charles's pursuit, it didn't mean that she could accept his unexpected intimate behaviors. She blushed and tried to push Charles away, "Stop it."

"Not working, hah?" Charles gave an evil laugh. They were so close, he could even hear Autumn's heartbeat. He quietly looked at Autumn in his arms and said, "I happen to be short of a secretary, so starting from tomorrow, you will be my secretary till I get the right one."

"No, I am not…" Before she could finish the sentence, Autumn's lips were sealed by Charles with a kiss. He didn't let her go until she was almost spellbound. "So are you going to?"
