Chapter 22: Falling Asleep in His Office
Not many people in Edwiin’s company knew her. When she took the elevator upstairs and told the receptionist that she wanted to see Edwiin, she was told that she needed to wait.
Suzanne rubbed her forehead and took out her phone from her bag to call Edwiin. However, after the phone rang for a long time, no one answered it, so she had to give up.
After a moment’s hesitation, Suzanne went to the rest area nearby to wait and drank a glass of warm water that the receptionist handed to her.
She cuddled on the sofa and browsed Twitter and WhatsApp. Later, perhaps because she was too tired, she tilted her head and fell asleep leaning against the sofa. Her mobile phone slipped from her hand and fell on the sofa.
After the two-hour meeting, Edwiin was the first to come out of the conference room.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
His eyes were sharp, and his handsome face was a little cold. He pursed his lips and exuded a chill all over. His aura was extremely powerful. Wherever he went, everyone bowed their heads and almost no one dared to look him in the eye.
Edwiin strode forward. After passing by the reception desk, he stopped and turned his head to look at the resting area. Then, he narrowed his eyes.
A petite figure was curled up on the light green sofa, her arms slender and white.
The long-sleeved white shirt was paired with a denim skirt. Her two white legs were particularly eye-catching, and she wore a pair of white lace-ups.
When Edwiin saw Suzanne, the chill emanating from him grew stronger.
He strode over, picked her small body up from the sofa, and let her lean in his arms.
When he turned around and saw some people secretly looking at the person in his arms, he was a little unhappy for no reason, and even his voice was filled with anger, “Are you satisfied with the meeting today?”
As soon as he spoke, all those people dispersed in disorder and didn’t dare stay where they were as they were deeply afraid that they would suffer.
Edwiin snorted and ordered someone to bring Suzanne’s bag and cell phone over later. Then he carried Suzanne to his office. As soon as he stepped into the office, the person in his arms opened her eyes.
When Suzanne saw Edwiin’s chin, she was a little confused. She blinked her eyes and smelled the cold breath that was so close to her. Only then did she realize that she was in his arms. Her face immediately turned red, “E-Edwiin.”
“You’re awake?” Edwiin glanced at her, bent down slightly, and put her down.
As soon as Suzanne’s shoes touched the carpet, she hurriedly took a step back and stayed away from his breath, as if she was afraid to stand too close to him. Biting her lip, she looked a little uneasy.
Thinking of the ridiculous things that had happened last night, Suzanne became even more nervous. Her heart pounded wildly and she tried her best to calm her breathing.
Suzanne wanted to ask Edwiin about what happened last night, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she said, “Mom said that she made duck soup and asked us to go back for dinner tonight.”
After that, Suzanne became upset.
Although she came to inform him to go back for dinner tonight, she also needed to ask about what had happened last night before informing him. Why was the question she wanted to ask completely different from what she said?
Edwiin looked at her conflicted expression and a smile appeared in his eyes. He was silent for a few seconds before replying with a “hmm”. “All right, sit down and wait for me. I’ll go home after I’m done with a document.”
“Huh?” Suzanne was a little stunned. Pulling at her denim skirt, she replied with an “oh” and then obediently went to sit on the sofa to wait for him with a depressed look.
Why couldn’t she ask that question?
Not long after, Edwiin’s secretary, Deirdre, brought Suzanne’s bag and cell phone over. She then walked over to Edwiin’s desk and handed him a few documents that urgently needed his signature.
“Mr. Morrison, this is the document that the manager of the IT department urgently needs your approval for. Please take a look.”
