Contract Go Wrong: The CEO’s Tempting Bride

Gina shifted on the bed, her heartbeat increasing each second, as the guy got back to pressing his phone.

If he calls Adrian then all her stunts would be in vain. No, she wouldn’t allow that to open. If the monster finds out, he might rip her apart or even do more. Remembering the two times he had trapped her on a wall, Gina shuddered.

Seconds ticked by and the guy was tapping on his phone. Instinctively, Gina grabbed it.

“Y… You don’t need to inform Adrian… It’s no big deal, besides, you can see I’m not hurt… It’s just a minor injury” She muttered, doing as best as she could to hide her anxiety.

Luke gave her a quizzical look, his gaze darting to her trembling hands which were gripping tightly to his phone. “Well, at least we should let him know that you’re safe_”

“No!” Gina waved both palms, her eyes widened again. The guy’s gaze was now fully on her, and his eyes flashed with amusement. ‘Argh’

Lowering her voice, she added, “Adrian would be so worried when he finds out. He’s on a business trip and is probably busy at the moment… I–I don’t want him to slack off, just because of this minor issue.”

Yes, she just needed to convince him, there was no time to lose. Glancing at the wall clock again, her anxiousness increased.

“Mmm… you’re such a good wife, hehehe” Luke nodded and she gave him a soft smile. Even though the expression on his face gave out the real meaning behind his words, Gina did not mind and continued.

“You know… Adrian and I are so in love… he would race back here immediately he hears about it. And even as his friend, I know you wouldn’t want that to happen and you might even deem me as a bad wife, no?” She said with pursed lips, still gripping the phone.

Luke almost burst into laughter which he managed to suppress at the last second. ‘Hehe.’ He was beginning to like this little bride.

Having had enough of teasing the girl, he stood up and extended his hand. “Alright, since you put it like that, then I’m left with no room to object… may I have my phone back, please?”

“S… Sure” Gina nodded and handed him the phone. ‘phew’ she thought it was going to take her all night to convince him.

He shoved the phone back into his pocket, while she cleared her throat, ready for her next plan.

“I think you should go back now… It’s was nice of you to stay here all day… I’m very grateful”

“Okay, will pick you home tomorrow then,” Luke said, glancing at his wristwatch again.

“Yeah… see you tomorrow.” Gina sighed in relief as he turned back and headed for the door.

She couldn’t wait to get out of this place as soon as he leaves.

Still basking in her glory, just before the guy reached the door, it opened then walked in another guy with a bag in hand.

“Ahhh” Gina yelped and almost fell from the bed.

The guys who had stopped and were now discussing glanced at her with confused looks.

Gina quickly regained her stance, not daring to make eye contact.

The other guy walked forward. He was wearing a white lab coat and if Gina was not mistaken, he was among the guys sitting with Adrian the other day.

His expression was calm, and without saying a word, he pressed a palm to her forehead.

“I can see that you’re getting better.” Ryan nodded, a barely visible smile on his face. When the girl was brought here, her temperature was high and was shivering violently, even though she was unconscious.

“Are you feeling pain anywhere?” he asked, now examining her left ankle.

“No, I’m fine.” Gina shook her head impulsively and the other guy who had not left chuckled.

“Great,” Ryan said. He dropped the bag on the bedside table and continued. “Make sure you take these according to the prescriptions. Eat healthy foods and also, don’t go out in the cold.”

“Okay.” Gina smiled. Unlike the blonde guy, this guy seems easy. And he didn’t even interrogate her.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Glancing between the two guys, she couldn’t help but marvel at their looks. Why would the devil be gifted in all aspects?

Tall, handsome, rich, and also has good-looking friends. Then again, a gorgeous lover. ‘Argh! It’s not fair’

“Since you’re alright, you should be discharged,” The doctor said, and Gina’s heart sank.

“Oh, so soon?” Luke came back to the bed and asked in surprise. “That’s great… then I’ll have to take her back.” He doesn’t need to return tomorrow.

“No no no!” Gina blurted out, almost begging. The two guys frowned and she almost cried. “W… What I mean is that you don’t have to bother… I can go back myself. Yes, I’ll find a taxi.”

“A taxi?” Luke shook his head and said, “I’m afraid no taxi would like to go there… come on, I’m your husband’s friend, how can I let you take a taxi?”

“B… But you don’t have to… I’ll try and convince the taxi driver, I’m sure they’ll take me there after…” Gina trailed off as the guys were now looking at her as if she’d grown two heads.

‘Argh! She should have known that the devil’s friends were not better. She had truly underestimated them.

Under their scrutinizing gazes, Gina had no room for argument.

She fidgeted with her hands and swallowed deeply. Lowering her head, she nodded hesitatingly and muttered, “Okay”

The guys’ expressions relaxed and the doctor bid her good night before leaving the ward.

Left with only the blonde guy, Gina sighed in defeat

“Now, that it’s settled, I think we should get going,” Luke said, not missing the gloomy atmosphere around the girl. He shook his head, wondering what his friend had done to the poor girl.

It was obvious that she wasn’t happy and his confusion heightened.

Since it wasn’t in his place to nose around the couple’s matters, he kept his thoughts to himself then pulled out his phone.
