"Let's go then." Jepherson pulled Raeleigh's hand and took her away.
After returning to his office, Raeleigh sat down while Jepherson grabbed a pillow and sat next to her, then lied down on the inner side of the sofa.
Though Jepherson's sofa was not as wide as the bed, it could still easily fit the two of them lying down.
"Come and take a nap," Jepherson called to her after lying down.
Raeleigh said, "I'll sleep lying on the table. Go ahead and sleep."
"Come here!"
Jepherson shifted further in, waiting for Raeleigh to lie beside him. However, Raeleigh remained motionless. Jepherson turned sideways and spread his arm across the sofa. "If I go over to you, it won't be as simple as lying down."
After a debate, she removed her shoes and laid down beside him. Then he turned and cuddled her, placing one arm on her waist and the other into her collar, holding on tightly to her...
With a heavy breath, she wanted to take his hand away from her chest, but Jepherson breathed hard behind her. "Don't move."
Raeleigh froze, no longer moving. Jepherson gradually tightened his hand on Raeleigh's waist, and his breathing calmed down bit by bit.
Hearing that he had fallen asleep, she wanted to leave. However, as soon as she shifted, he would immediately tighten his hug, rendering her afraid to move.
Raeleigh tensed up, not daring to even flinch.
Jepherson fondled her waist as his deep voice sounded from behind her. "What's there to be afraid of? Do you think I'll eat you up?"
Stumped, Raeleigh didn't answer but only stared at his desk. After some time, he tightened his hug again, unwilling to relax, as if he wanted to press her into his body so that they could become one.
Enduring the uncomfortableness, she grabbed his hand and said, "Are you trying to strangle me?"
Only then did Jepherson let go and held her hand, interlocking their fingers.
This time, Raeleigh stayed still after he fell asleep. If she moved, she would wake him up. Perhaps he was only pretending, waiting for her.
It was like a game of cat and mouse. Jepherson was the astute cat, while she was the frail mouse.
At first, she didn't know anything. As a newcomer, she didn't know what this massive creature was. She just knew he was different, but she had no idea he would be the end of her life.
Raeleigh gradually relaxed, recalling the past. She wanted to laugh; if it weren't for this moment, she would really laugh out loud. But now...
Raeleigh slowly closed her eyes. Some things, even if it was too much to hope for, just sound like a joke. No do-overs.
Jepherson opened his eyes. He tightened his grip but loosened it the next moment, closing back his eyes, continuing to sleep. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
Raeleigh thought she wouldn't be able to fall asleep, but to her surprise, she did in a matter of moments and even slept past lunch.
She might have even slept longer if Jepherson's phone didn't ring.
Raeleigh shifted, and Jepherson immediately patted her highly, waiting for her to go back to sleep. However, she still woke up.
At first, Raeleigh was a little confused. She thought she was in someone else's arms. But the hand wasn't right. Only then did she remember she was sleeping next to him, cuddling, and not someone else.
With that, she left him. Jepherson had just grabbed his phone when she moved, and his face turned grim, answering the call.
"If this isn't a life and death situation, I can make it one."
A chill ran down Stuart's spine as he gulped and said, "Mr. Jepherson, your lunch reservation, it's time."
Stuart knew this wasn't a life and death situation, but this was all there was. Not to mention Jepherson even told him to remind him.
Jepherson hung up and lay on the sofa for a while. Then he looked over at Raeleigh, who had gone to the bathroom, and sat up.
Standing up, Jepherson stretched and rubbed his sore arm before walking toward the bathroom and knocking on the door.
Raeleigh hadn't expected Jepherson to come to the bathroom, so she didn't lock the door.
"Wait." Raeleigh grabbed some toilet papers and began cleaning. Then she answered the door, looking at him. "Please do me a favor."
Jepherson frowned. "On your period?"
Stumped, she stared at him. "How did you know?"
"I guessed. What brand?"
Slightly flushed, she said, "Any will do."
Raeleigh actually had a preference, but this was Capital City. She had been living abroad for three years; how would she know if this brand was available here?
Jepherson checked the time. "Go wash up. I'm going out for a moment."
With that, he left his office. At the door, he told Stuart, "Stay guard and don't go in."
"Mr. Jepherson, where are you going?"
"The supermarket."
"Supermarket?"
"Yes."
Jepherson glanced at Stuart. "Do you know which brand of sanitary pads are the best?"
Stumped, he answered, "I really have no clue. Shall I ask Hadrian?"
"Go ahead. I'm heading down."
"Mr. Jepherson..."
Jepherson turned to look at Stuart. Stuart suggested, "Maybe I should go."
"Are you going to marry her in my stead too?"
Jepherson spoke indifferently, but Stuart was so frightened that he gulped and dared not say another word.
With that, Jepherson entered his private elevator and headed to his car. After entering, he told the driver to go to the largest supermarket nearby.
The driver dared not leave Jepherson, following him inside. After entering, Jepherson made a call before he started looking through the selection. Seeing that there were quite a few options, he got two each, taking up half a cart.
When the cashier was scanning the pads, he went and got two boxes of beautiful ladies' underwear.
Seeing Jepherson coming out carrying sanitary pads, the driver hurriedly took them and intended to put them in the trunk when Jepherson stopped him as he just got to the back of the car.
"Put it in front."
Speechless, the driver was baffled that he wanted two large bags of sanitary pads placed in the front. What if there was something particular?
But Jepherson was his boss, and he couldn't go against his order.
The driver did as told, putting the sanitary pads into the car, then drove Jepherson back to the company.
