Still sprawling on the bed, Nora sighed. After some thinking, she replied, “You’ve a point. Fine then, I’ll call him again to ask if he’s around!”
After she said that, she tried to call Armond once more. The man picked up only after a few rings.
Even though he was not speaking very loudly, I could still make out what he was saying as the surroundings were rather quiet.
Armond spoke in a low voice, “Have you eaten?”
“Yup,” Nora answered simply before asking, “Where have you been these few days? I couldn’t find you and couldn’t reach you over the phone as well. Are you trying to worry me to death?” Seeing that the man had finally picked up the phone, she did not waste one moment to throw him all the questions she had.
After Nora finished speaking, Armond let out an affectionate chuckle and replied, “I was busy, so I didn’t go back to the hotel. Don’t worry, I’m alright!”
“But I’m not. We’ve already not seen each other for three days and I really miss you. Let me tell you, if you don’t come back to the hotel right now, you can continue enjoy being single!”
Obviously, the woman was throwing a tantrum. It was amazing how people could say all sorts of ridiculous things in a relationship.
Armond nodded at the other end of the phone before saying, “OK, OK, I’ll be right back!”
Then, Nora sat up on the bed and looked at the time on her phone. “How long would you take?”
“Ten minutes!” The man answered immediately.
“OK,” Nora answered simply before ending the call. Immediately after, she bolted up and dashed into the bathroom.
Knowing that she was probably in a rush to wash up before meeting him, I couldn’t help but smile.
Shortly after, Nora was done. She had already put on makeup and was dressed seductively when she emerged from the bathroom.
After making a 360-degree turn in front of me, she asked, “How do I look? Okay?”
I nodded before crossing my arms in front of my chest. Sizing her up, I asked, “Actually, I’m quite curious. Have you guys… done it?”
Nora lowered her head pretentiously and covered her mouth with her hands. Acting embarrassed, she replied, “I’m such a pure and innocent girl! How could you think of me that way?”
I touched my forehead and was speechless at once. “Please say something I can understand!”
With a sudden change in her mood, she pouted and said, “Not yet. He doesn’t seem to be able to get it up whenever we try. There’s nothing I can do about it either!”
