Free Web NovelChapter 90: 90- Madam Boss
"Who spends the nights on the sofa of a living room when I’ve got a perfect king-sized bed!" Lina was applying jam to a bread slice as she kept typing emails on her phone.
Holding a coffee mug, Sienna just watched her friend juggling with all the work.
"Shit!" Lina face-palmed, "I forgot to do my laundry."
Sienna smiled as she waved her hand, "Don’t worry. I’ll do it."
"Sure?" Lina gave her an eye roll.
"Yeah. No problem!"
Lina came and kissed her cheek, "You are an angel."
"Yuck!" Sienna wiped the wetness off her cheek with the back of her hand. Sometimes Lina could be a handful.
"Hey! Don’t wipe it off, or I’ll give you more wet kisses," Lina winked, and Sienna had to throw a pillow at her.
No matter what she did. Hunter’s face was always there in her thoughts. During this visit, she didn’t tell Lina why she was there.
It had been two days since she was staying at Lina’s place. Her friend didn’t question her, but Sienna was aware that she couldn’t stay here forever.
Not that Lina would mind it. freёwebnovel.com
"Don’t overwork yourself, Sia. There is some leftover pasta in the fridge from last night. I’ll try to be back asap."
"Take your time, Li. Don’t worry about me," She called out behind her.
After Lina was out for her photography assignment, the house suddenly got quiet. Sienna headed to the kitchen to make herself some coffee.
For the first few minutes, she stood in the middle of the kitchen, absent-mindedly.
Does he even miss me? She asked herself.
Standing near the sink, she opened the cabinet to take the cup out when she felt a presence in the doorway.
Startled, she spun around and found Hunter leaning against it. Sienna placed her hand on her speeding heart as she gave him a mean look, "What are you doing here? You should have knocked!"
She was seeing him after two days, and God, he had turned more handsome than she could remember.
"Lina must be outside," He pushed against the doorway and walked towards her, "She must have asked you to lock the door, and you must have forgotten. Right?"
Shit!
Sienna chewed her lower lip, looking at his chest, "I... I’m sorry... I really forgot..."
He came closer as he placed his hands on her waist, "You were supposed to be here for one day. Why this overstay?"
His thumbs were moving on her waist in slow circles as he asked her. Sienna was trying to focus on what he was saying instead of the movement of his fingers. freewebnovel.cσ๓
"I’m... sorry," she whispered.
He leaned ahead, bringing his face closer to hers, "Do you have anything else to say except I’m sorry?"
Suddenly, those chits popped up in her head, and she started pushing him away by placing her palms on his chest.
"Stop!" He placed his hand on hers, "Stop pushing me away, sugar. And start talking."
"You don’t tell me everything. I know nothing about you..." She struggled to force him back, but he didn’t even budge.
"What do you want to know about me?"
"Not you but those chits..." She tried to squeeze her quivering lips, "The chits that said I’m a whore... and I ... I’m... I’m screwing Tom..." She whispered the last word as the tears started sliding down her cheeks.
Hunter froze when he heard her, "How do you..."
"I came to your room. Okay. I ..." She sobbed and was instantly pulled into his warm embrace.
"Shh... honey... don’t cry..." He placed his cheek on her head, rubbing his hand on her back gently.
She kept crying in his arms, and he stayed there, tightening his hold on her, "I don’t like it when you cry..." He whispered when she got a little stable, but didn’t move back.
She raised her face to eye him, "Why?"
He made a pout and raised his hand to press her nose gently, "Because your face gets red and then you love blowing your nose into my sleeves."
That made Sienna smile against her will.
"Are you again ignoring my question? About the chits?"
His finger touched her chin, forcing her face to look up, "Next time, if there is an issue, Sienna won’t run away. Sienna will drill me with questions. She’ll kick me, hurt me... but..." His voice dropped to a whisper, "She won’t run away. Okay?"
Before Sienna could speak, he kissed her forehead and suddenly scooped her up in his arms, carrying her to the sofa.
"Hunter I ..."
"I know you can walk," He snapped, dropping on the sofa while making her sit on his lap, "Those chits," He pulled her face to his chest, "I don’t believe in them, Sia," He whispered, "I know you. And I’m aware we are bound by a contract marriage. But even this contract requires trust. I trusted you, and no matter what anyone says about you, I’m supposed to believe what you tell me... what you want me to believe."
For Sienna, this was something new. Tom never confirmed any of the rumors. He just knew that he had to punish her for the things she never did.
"In the same way, I expect you to talk to me if you have doubts about me, love," He started brushing her hair with his fingers, "I want you to trust me. Tomorrow, someone might tell you a story about me. Instead of believing him, come to me."
He rested his chin on her head and sat like that for a few minutes. However, after some time, he realized that Sienna wasn’t moving.
He looked down in concern if she was alright.
"Fuck!" He muttered. She was sleeping in his arms.
Shaking his head, he chuckled as he rested her cheek back to his chest, "Mrs. Levisay. I just delivered a whole speech. Am I that boring to you?"
He kissed her forehead. That was the first time he called her that.
Mrs. Levisay.
He smiled to himself like a fool and kissed Sienna’s head.
Sleep tight, sweetheart.
You have to conquer the world after all, madam boss.
