CHAPTER 49

CHAPTER 49
Love pov

When we entered our supposedly room, the atmosphere instantly came back from where we left off a while ago. So I coughed to ease the building tension, walk to the bedroom and went to the couch.

This is so awkward.

I slam my body on the couch, pretending that I feel exhausted. I closed my eyes and say "Since you're paying for this room, I'll be sleeping on the couch." I say as I remove my shoes and settle my legs on the couch.

"No, just sleep on the bed and I'll take the couch." Emerson replied. I don't know what he's doing because my eyes are closed but I can hear that he's changing his clothes. How can you hear someone's changing? I don't even know. It’s just that, I feel it.

"Are you done?" I asked, still closed eyes. You know the feeling when you want to take a peek but your conscience says no? That's the battle I'm facing right now. It’s tempting.

You mean, he's tempting?

"Yes." He said and by that, I open my eyes.

When my two eyes opened, I was greeted by his abs. Those chiseled like muscles of his are perfection.

When I realized where I was looking, I instantly cover my eyes. It’s my whole face actually. "You're an assssSsshooooole!" I shouted as I throw the pillow, still closed eyes.
How I manage to throw it to him when my eyes are closed? I don't know I just threw it to him. I don't know where it went. "Pervert CEO." I added and he laughs hysterically.

"You enjoyed the show actually." He said.

I didn't replied and when the silence came in, I decided to open my eyes, look on the floor and only to the floor. I run towards the bed and slam myself to it. "Since you're a pervert, I'll be sleeping here. You sleep on the couch." I shouted.

"Since I'm a pervert, why don't I..." He said as he slams himself on the bed. I exclaimed. "Lay here beside you." He added.

Then I faced him, "Okay." I said as I got up and went back to the couch together with a pillow and a blanket from the bed.

I didn't hear his reply so I decided to change my clothes with a comfortable tee shirt.

The bathroom is like a royal bathroom, you know the gold and silver color really feels like you're a true princess or a queen. The mirror is huge and the sink is so beautifully made. It has a unique shape than others. Even the bathtub is gold.

When I finished changing, I look again in the mirror and see myself.

Why I felt conscious suddenly? I feel like I'm checking myself if I'm beautiful or not. Really? Love? At this hour? You're checking if you're beautiful or not?

"What now?" He asked when I got outside the bathroom. I just stuck my tongue out and slam myself on the couch.

"Goodnight, pervert." I said, smiling and then covered myself with the blanket.

"You're really sleeping in there?" He asks.

"Hm..hmp.."

I didn't hear any reply from instead I was surprised that I am being lifted.

"It would hurt my pride and ego if you'll sleep on the couch. I'm a perfect gentleman, remember?" He said while he carries me towards bed.

I'm still covered with the blanket. It feels like I'm in a sack or something.
He didn't throw me on the bed but instead he put me down with care.

"Goodnight." He said and by that I think he went on the couch.

I didn't know how long I felt until the sound of my phone starts to ring.

Who will call me at this time? I asked myself as I stood up, half awake and walk on the center table where I put it awhile ago. Beside the pouch I used.
When I checked who the caller is, my mind became alert. Sort of

"Yes?" I said on the person on the other line.

"Did I wake you up? Sorry." Sophia, my assistant in Jems said.

"It’s okay. What's up?" I replied.

"Remember the documents you gave me to check?" She said.

And now I remembered the documents I gave her when I went to the office a day before we went to the wedding.

"Yes yes. I almost forgot about it." I replied.

She kept silence for a second but then continues. "I have found out that the signature at the bottom of Mr. Emerson Triumph is falsified." She stated firmly.

What? I must have heard it wrong. I thought, looking at Emerson and got shocked that he's awake.

Closing my eyes and opening it, I managed to smile at him. An innocent smile rather.

"Aah.. Sure. Let's meet up tomorrow.. Say.. Seven PM? “I say to Sophia.

"Sure. Goodnight Love." She replied hesitantly.

When I hang up my phone, he looked at me with a questioning look.

"Who was that?" He said. "I mean if you would let me." He added.

I breathe. "My asisstant. Sophia." I simply stated. Please don't ask any questions.

And by chance he didn't.
