After Theo coaxed me to have something to eat, I felt a little tired and went back to sleep.
I slept through the night. When I woke up in the morning, I was a little speechless when I saw Theo beside me on the bed.
Did he not have to go to work?
Was his company bankrupt?
Even so, this man was perfectly good-looking. All those years ago, he was the man of every girl’s dreams in Salt City. I squinted to admire his ridiculous good looks. Even though his hair was a little disheveled, he still looked enticing. His eyes were a little red-rimmed. He exuded a casual yet elegant aura that made him breathtakingly sexy.
What a dashing man. It was a shame he had a nasty mouth.
I pouted a little and lost the interest to continue admiring him. I removed the blanket around me and was about to get out of bed.
As I sat up from the bed, a muscular arm snaked around my waist.
"Why are you up so early?” Theo's lazy voice drawled i n my ears, and it was incredibly alluring.
I looked at my phone that was on the dresser and showed it to him. "It's almost nine in the morning, how is this early?”
Theo snuggled into the crook of my neck. "It's early."
“Don't you have to go back to the office?" I could not help but ask him.
Theo hugged me tighter. "I'll be swamped with work i n the next few days, so I took time off to be with you."
"But I'm busy these few days." I pushed his face away and said with disdain, "Stop hugging me. I want to get up."
Theo lifted his head and looked at me unhappily. "I thought you're done with the backlog from work?"
I was speechless. "There's still work to be done! It's not like I have nothing to do anymore once I finish that pile of work."
Theo glared at me, and after a long while, he reluctantly released me.
