Theo laughed. "There’s no use acting cute. You have to drink it."
U H
After being with him for so long, I knew he would relentlessly persuade me to drink the ginger juice if I refused to drink it now. He would only stop after I grew irritated by his persuasion.
Since I would still have to drink it, I might as well drink it now to save our breaths.
I sighed helplessly and took the glass from his hand. After pinching my nose, I downed the contents in a single gulp.
"Good girl.” Theo stroked my head with a smile.
I smacked his hand away and lay back down on the bed.
He did not disturb me this time and let me sleep.
However, as I felt physically and mentally unwell, I slept very soundly this time.
Theo had already gone to the office when I woke up the next morning. I read the note he left me and got out of bed to go downstairs.
Quinn and Cindy were still sleeping, so I ate my
breakfast before they got up and went back to my room to lie down again.
There was nothing much going on in the company, so I merely sorted out a few documents at home. I was on my period, so I rested for two days. This was the only way I could get it to stop hurting.
At nine o'clock in the morning, I received a phone call after a video conference but no one spoke. I thought it was a spam call, so I hung up and ignored it.
