Chapter 19
Leanna’s pov
I don’t know how I got to bed last night. When I woke up, I felt very sore all over and had no clothes left.
The strangest thing is that the room I am in is the master bedroom in the presidential suite.
What is going on?
Why am I in Edmund’s bed?
I vaguely remember that I was drinking with Hyman last night.
Then… what happened then?
Why am I here?Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
My brain is about to explode. I look around the bed, and
last night while I was drunk….
Thinking of this possibility, I suddenly felt a burst of anger burning in my heart.
How could he do this?
How can a big president of a multinational group, the world famous leader of a consortium, take advantage of others’ difficulties in such a despicable way?
I want to get up and ask him for an explanation.
I got up and wrapped the quilt on my body, stood on tiptoe on the soft carpet, ready to go out, but the door of the room was pushed open from outside.
What catches the eye is Edmund’s tall and handsome figure.
Maybe he didn’t expect me to have got up. When he saw me, his eyes first showed a little surprise, then he showed a meaningful smile, and his eyes couldn’t help looking up and down at me.
I didn’t wear shoes on my feet, and his eyes swept over me, and my left foot stepped on the back of my right foot uneasily, rubbing it gently.
“Wake up?” He opened his mouth to break the weird silence.
I had a lot of complaints to make, but I don’t know why. When I saw him, my momentum weakened instantly, and I didn’t have the courage to question and condemn him.
I nodded, bit my lips, and still wanted to say something, so I raised my face and stared at him, “Last night, my clothes…”
“I took it off.” He answered before I could ask him.
Hearing the words, I bit my teeth. It’s really him, the villain!
“You begged me.” He added.
“…” How could this happen? It’s a shame.
I drooped my eyes and asked again, “Then last night…”
“Sleep .” He is quite frank.
Look, look, he is really not a good man. Even if I ask him to undress me, it does not mean that he can sleep me while I am drunk.
“You hold me in your arms and won’t let go.” He told the truth again.
“You lied. How could I do this?” I didn’t believe it even when I was killed. I would be so bold and cheeky.
“Don’t believe it?” He gently raised his eyebrows and eyes, “Do you want to watch the video?”
what?
And video?
I was immediately confused.
I was angry with my eyes, and pointed my arm out of the quilt at him, “You… you don’t have a face. You also take videos when you do this kind of thing…”
“You took it.” He corrected and stressed, “I tried to stop you.”
God, what happened last night?
Why do I go crazy after drinking a little wine?
Not only did the man in front of me take off his clothes, but also put others to sleep and took a video forcibly.
oh no!
Where is the underground cave? I want to go in and never come out again.
“Are there any questions?” He looked at me and asked in a very gentlemanly way.
No, even if there is, I dare not continue to ask.
I’ve lost all my face. I don’t want to lose my dignity together.
“Well, since there is no doubt, let’s settle the account now.” He said, lifting his feet and walking towards me step by step.
“Accounts? What accounts?” I looked blank.
“Pay the debts with money.” As he approached, I stepped back to the bedside and asked, “Should I pay for my debt? Hmm?”
I fell into the soft big bed with a sound of “snapping”, and the creditor was staring at me.
“Mr. Edmund… yesterday… what happened last night… it… it was an accident…” Looking at Edmund’s handsome face, I swallowed unconsciously and said in a halting voice.
“Unexpected” He sneered.
“Yeah… yeah… you… you see I’m drunk and don’t know anything. What happen in this state won’t count.” I shrunk my neck, tightly grasped the sheet and protected my chest.
“Are you awake now?” He asked suddenly.
Nod, of course I am awake.
“But I’m a little drunk.” He showed a bad smile on his face, stretched out his hand, and directly pulled the quilt off my body, exposing my body to the air instantly.
……
When I woke up again, it was already dark.
The physical discomfort was even worse than before, especially my waist, which was almost broken.
Edmund’s face was so fierce that I could hardly get out of bed.
What hatred does he want to do to me?
How can I work?
I got out of bed with strong support, and my legs were so weak that I shivered.
I went to the bathroom to take a shower and wash away the smell from him. I reached for my bathrobe on the shelf and wrapped it around me. The familiar faint scent of cologne wrapped me again.
Well, this bath is useless.
I came out of the master bedroom and found no one in the living room.
Edmund and Oarlan are not here.
This made me feel relieved.
Otherwise, I really don’t know how to face Edmund now.
Look at the clock on the wall. It’s seven twenty in the evening.
After lying in bed all day, my stomach protested.
I went back to my room and changed my clothes. I was going out to eat something.
Just getting ready to go out with the room card, my mobile phone suddenly rang.
I took a look at the caller ID, it was a strange number.
“Hello, who is calling?”
“Are you Miss Leanna?” There was a strange voice on the other side of the phone.
“Yes, I am.”
“I have your package. I’m in the underground garage now. Please come and get it.”
Parcel?
I frowned. I don’t remember what I bought.
How come there are parcels?
“Is there a mistake? I didn’t buy anything.”
“There’s no mistake. It’s really your package. It was bought by a Mr. King. Would you please come down right away?” The other side insisted.
Edmund bought it? Or for me? What could it be? Didn’t you just buy me a skirt?
“Oh, all right. Just a moment, I’ll come.” I went downstairs immediately.
The parking lot under the first basement.
I walked out of the elevator, and sure enough, in the corner not far from the elevator door, I saw a man in a delivery suit, a cap, and an obscure face waiting for me with a package in his hand.
“Hello.” I went over to greet the man.
“Miss Leanna?” The man looked at me and confirmed.
“Yes.”
“This is your package. Please take it and sign here.” The man said, handed me the box in his hand, and then gave me a pen and express bill to sign on.
I took the pen, bowed my head and signed it seriously, but just as I finished writing my name, the other party suddenly took out a towel and directly covered my mouth and nose.
“Hmm…” I struggled, and a huge pungent smell directly penetrated my nose. Soon, I lost consciousness.
Edmund’s pov
In the box.
Looking at these smiling faces in front of me, I felt disgusted.
I know too well what kind of utilitarianism lies behind everyone’s smile. Not long ago, they were all Nigel’s guests.
Now Nigel has failed in the Moon Island project, and even been dismissed as the chairman by the Board of Directors. They immediately started to pay tribute to me, hoping to share in the Moon Island project.
If I had been in the past, I would have liked to see them perform ugly flattering tricks in front of me.
But today, there is a little wild cat lying on my big bed that has not been completely tamed by me. I don’t have much leisure to entertain these rude old men here.
I got up, picked up the napkin in front of me and wiped my mouth, ready to leave.
Seeing this, everyone stood up and looked at me.
Oarlan on one side waved to them, “Well, everyone, Mr. Edmund has other appointments in the evening, so let’s call it today.”
“Mr. Edmund is leaving now? We haven’t finished drinking yet.” A building businessman smiled and tried to stay.
“Mr. Larry, am I still here? Why? You need Mr. Edmund to accompany you personally to drink this wine?” Oarlan quipped.
“No, no, Mr. Edmund’s appointment is very important. Let’s drink a toast to Mr. Edmund and wish him a happy date tonight.” As he spoke, everyone raised their glasses in front of them and toasted me.
I sneer , I didn’t want to socialize with. I didn’t want to look at them. I put on my coat and walked straight to the door.
Out of the restaurant, I took out my mobile phone to call Leanna.
The phone was turned off.
How dare this little woman turn off her mobile phone?
I was a little upset and dialed the phone in the presidential suite again.
It rang for a long time, but no one answered.
Are you still sleeping?
Leanna’s pov
When I woke up, I only found that my body and head were wet. Obviously, I was awakened by water.
It was dark all around, except for a pendant lamp on the top of the head.
In front of me stood several young men in the shape of gangsters. One of them was a little older, wearing a tight t-shirt, with a ferocious tattoo on his arm and a thick gold chain hanging around his neck.
“Wake up?” The tattooed man stood in front of me, looking down at me.
After a moment of confusion in my brain, I suddenly realized that I was kidnapped, and I couldn’t help being afraid.
“Who are you? Why did you tie me here?” I asked in a trembling voice.
The tattoo man did not immediately answer my question, and a pair of indecent eyes stared at me.
Fortunately, I changed into a slightly loose casual home clothes before going out, rather than the close fitting short skirt work clothes of the club. Otherwise, my shirt and skirt would be exposed when I was drenched in water.
“You look good. No wonder Edmund likes you.” The tattooed man touched his chin and commented.
Edmund?
Hearing this name, my little heart suddenly tightened.
Is it because Edmund they kidnapped me?
“Little lady, I ask you, if I call Edmund now and ask him to save you, will he come?” The tattoo man raised his mobile phone and asked me.
This question really stumps me.
With my relationship with Edmund, why can’t he take such a big risk to save me?
If he is willing to call the police for me, I will appreciate him.
“No, I’m just his butler, and he’s just my VIP. Have you ever seen a boss take risks to save employees?”
“Is it just his housekeeper? But I heard that you are so close that you all sleep in the same bed.” The tattooed man said, smiled, squatted down, and wiped his short ugly hand on my neck
“Don’t touch me…” I looked at him disgustedly and cried.
“Why? Don’t you think it’s comfortable for me to touch you without Edmund?” The tattooed man smiled and turned to look at his younger brother behind him. “Would you like to touch it?”
“Good, good.” All the younger brothers are eager to try.
“Get out of here, and you’ll pay for the damage?” The tattooed man rolled his eyes, took out his mobile phone and dialed a phone.
