Chapter 619 It's You Who Are Fated to Be (25)
In the morning, Nell was woken up by the ringtone of a phone beside her, but... The ringtone was not hers.
She was puzzled.
An arm passed over her face, picked up the phone on the bedside table on her side, and pressed the answer button.
"Hello, this is James."
Nell's mind was blown.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
James.
When she thought of what happened last night, she was so embarrassed and wanted to be huddled up in a ball somewhere.
She was going to flush herself down the toilet.
After James ended the call, he put the phone on his side and said to Nell apologetically, "I'm sorry that my phone woke you up."
Nell buried her face in the blanket and shook her head hard.
"It's fine, it's fine. Do what you need to do."
James' gentle low laughter came from behind her.
"Since you're awake, let's do it again!"
Nell didn't have the chance to refuse.
By the time Nell woke up again, it was already noon.
She was too tired to even lift a finger.
Nell glanced aside, and James was gone. James should have been lying next to her... Nell assumed that it was because of the call in the morning.
It was not the weekend, and she had to go to work.
Nell took out her phone. It was already half-past eleven!
Nell gaped at the time on her phone and quickly called her leader, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, Roland Rowe.
The call got through, and Nell hurriedly apologized, "Mr. Rowe, I'm sorry. I had something urgent today, so I didn't go to work. I'm sorry I forgot to ask for leave." Roland didn't scold Nell as usual. Instead, he smiled and replied, "It doesn't matter. Take time to do whatever you need to do. Don't worry."
Nell wondered, 'Since when was Mr. Rowe so nice and generous?'
Nonetheless, it was indeed her fault for skipping work in the morning, and she felt a little guilty.
"Mr. Rowe, there is an interview in the afternoon, which I must attend. I'll return to the office in the afternoon!"
"Alright, I'll wait for you here."
Nell was relieved after hanging up the phone.
She was glad that Roland didn't chide her.
But she felt strange.
She didn't go to work this morning, and Roland didn't blow up her phone but allowed her to sleep until now.
After a whole night and a morning, Nell's stomach growled, telling Nell that she was hungry.
After putting on all her clothes and washing up with a new set of teeth tools James had put in the bathroom, Nell walked out of the room.
When she reached the bottom of the stairs, she realized that a maid was waiting for her.
"Ms. Hutt!" The maid looked at Nell with a smile and bowed politely.
"Hello!" Nell glanced at the maid awkwardly.
"Ms. Hutt, we have prepared lunch for you. Do you want to eat it now?"
Nell's embarrassment was replaced by hunger. She touched her stomach, which was rumbling with hunger, and nodded. "Yes. I'd like to have lunch right now." "Well, Ms. Hutt, the dining room is over there. You can go there first. We'll bring you lunch right away."
"Great!"
Nell nodded and walked straight to the dining room.
Nell sat by the table but stared out of the dining room.
Soon, the maid came in with sumptuous dishes and placed them in front of Nell.
The dishes looked delicious.
"Thank you!"
The maid smiled, "You're welcome. Ms. Hutt, I'll leave you with your meal. Call me if you need anything. Enjoy."
"Sure."
After the maid left, Nell picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.
However, Nell had only eaten two mouthfuls of food when a hand suddenly reached over and snatched the chopsticks in her hand.
Nell was shocked, but she swallowed the food in her throat before turning to the snatcher.
After James snatched the chopsticks, he picked up the food and ate it with relish. It was the plate of tofu that Nell had tasted.
James took a bite and said meaningfully, "It does taste good."
Nell looked at James in surprise.
"You... Why are you here?"
James placed one hand on the armrest of the chair behind Nell and the other on the table. It looked like he was hugging Nell in his arms. "This is my home. Why do you think I am here?"
