Theo was speechless.
I raised an eyebrow and asked, "So, are you going to promise me that or not?"
"Serve me well," Theo said huffily, "and then I'll promise you."
Afraid he would go back on his word, I coldly said," Promise me first."
Theo ground his molars and gritted his teeth together as he said, "I promise."
Overjoyed, I said fearlessly, "You’ll be a b*tch if you break your promise.”
"Wanda Lane!" Theo lowered his head to nibble on my neck. "That's enough. Don't push your luck."
"Hah.” I merely laughed lightly, not saying anything else.
He was a man of his word and phoned his secretary to let him know that they were going to give up on trying to acquire Magnificent Entertainment. I drifted off to sleep in peace.
I remained asleep until the next afternoon. When I woke up and saw his broad chest, my immediate reaction was to raise my head and look at Theo's
handsome face. I could not help but sigh in my heart a s all other thoughts flew from my mind. It was even a treat to just get to stare at this man’s face.
He was sound asleep, and I did not want to wake him u p, so I turned over onto my back to stare at the ceiling.
About another half-hour passed before I could no longer lay still. I poked his chest with a finger as I said, "Time to wake up."
I was startled when my hand was suddenly grabbed, and I raised my eyes to look into the man’s glinting eyes. Sighing, I asked, "Was it fun to pretend you were asleep?”
"Trying to seduce me the minute you wake up?" Theo impishly asked.
I frowned as I shook the hand holding mine off and sat up on the bed.
