Free Web NovelChapter 69: Bruce’s Phone Call
Editor: Henyee Translations
The next morning, Owen was woken up by his phone ringing. "Hey, Bruce, what’s wrong?"
"CEO... CEO, are you on leave today?" When Bruce heard the CEO’s lazy voice that sounded like he had just woken up, he couldn’t help but shiver and ask softly.
"No, why?" Owen was still not fully awake, and he was a little confused when he heard Bruce’s question.
"CEO, it’s eleven-thirty now. It’s time to order lunch got you," Bruce said bravely.
"What did you say? It’s past eleven?" With that, Owen quickly took the phone down and glanced at it. It was indeed eleven o’clock.
"Bruce, I’m sorry, but I slept through the morning," Owen said sheepishly as he looked at Anita, who was lying beside him.
"CEO, it’s okay. It’s mainly because you asked the CEO of Fangyuan Technology Company to discuss the previous project together. We agreed to meet at 2 pm," Bruce continued to ask.
When Owen heard Bruce’s reminder, he remembered what had happened today. Normally, Bruce wouldn’t call him unless there was something wrong. If he was willing to brace himself and call Owen without fear of getting into a fight, that meant something really serious was going on in the company.
"I’ll go over this afternoon. Remember to prepare the meeting details in advance," Owen said after a moment of thought.
"Alright, should I help you prepare lunch?" Bruce tried his best to fulfill the responsibility of a secretary and asked.
"No thanks. I’m not eating at the office anymore." Owen was about to hang up.
He didn’t know what Bruce would think, because Anita would be woken up if he didn’t hang up soon.
Anita, who had been sound asleep, was suddenly woken by Owen’s call. She thought it was her call, but instead, she heard Owen’s voice in her ear. freewēbnoveℓ.com
At this moment, everything that had happened last night began to return to Anita’s mind. At first, the two of them were drinking red wine in the living room, but at some point, they had already gotten into bed.
And most importantly, Owen had sent her to her room, but she actually reached out and grabbed Owen while telling him not to go.
At the thought of this, Anita quietly looked up at Owen from under the blanket, then quickly curled back under the blanket.
Owen still looked the same as he had the night before. He was naked from the waist up and wore a pair of pants underneath, revealing his strong abs and muscular arms. Owen’s appearance reminded Anita instantly of how he had hugged and kissed her last night.
From the way she catered to Owen, the person from last night didn’t seem to be herself. She didn’t know how there could have such a passionate side to her.
When they broke up, she still remembered what Eric said about her. He said that she didn’t have a good figure and wasn’t passionate enough in bed. At that time, when Anita heard what Eric said, she felt that he was spouting nonsense and was just looking for an excuse to break up with her. On the other hand, she also had some doubts about herself.
These doubts increased as she interacted with Owen more and more. She felt that Owen was so dazzling, while she was so ordinary, and her figure was very average. In this case, she could only be with Owen on the condition of a contractual marriage.
But she didn’t expect Owen to be so passionate last night. He ignored her pleas and kissed her over and over again. Anita admitted that by then she really felt confident, it was confidence that Owen gave her.
But now that it was the morning, she felt her shyness returning. When she heard Owen call her, she pretended to sleep.
"Are you awake, Anita?" Owen whispered. At some point, he leaned closer to Anita and even put his arm around her, then leaned his head back against her.
Anita still wanted to pretend to be asleep, but the warmth that came out of Owen’s mouth kept hitting the back of her ear. The steam was really too stimulating, and she felt goosebumps all over her body.
"Yes, I’m awake," Anita finally couldn’t help but pull the blanket down and say softly.
"Haha, I knew you were awake. I saw you when you were secretly looking at me." Owen got up and propped his arm beside him. Then he lowered his head and leaned closer to Anita while smiling.
"I didn’t. I... I was woken up by the sound of your phone call." Anita pulled the blanket a little lower, revealing her eyes as she looked at Owen.
"Okay, okay, I get it. Want to get up and eat?" Owen said while smiling at Anita.
"I’ll get up first. I’m not hungry yet. I’ll wait a while." Anita saw Owen’s smile, then she become even more embarrassed and quickly urged him.
"Really? You’re not hungry? But whose stomach was growling just now?" Owen didn’t want to expose Anita’s lie, but she looked so adorable that he couldn’t help but say it. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
"I... I did?" Anita sat up anxiously at Owen’s words.
As she got up too suddenly, their foreheads collided.
