You Are Mine (English)

Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Naughty Girl

Sitting on the floor, Edie didn’t feel uncomfortable. She took her phone out, indulging herself in a game. She forgot about the time. How would she know that Stuart had found her by following the map on his phone?

He is standing at the door of the ladies’ room right now. For the sake of her safety, Ivan had installed mobile tracking on his phone. He didn’t expect that he would ever need to take advantage of it.

He saw the red laser representing the position of Edie. It was shining on the washroom door. Stuart put the phone back in his pocket.

He held his hands up and knocked on the door with slender fingers. Startled by the noise, she dropped her phone on the floor. "Game over, I almost won" freewebnovёl.ƈom

Stuart could faintly hear her words and wanted to laugh, but reminding himself as to why she was in there, he controlled it and kept knocking on the door. Hearing the sound, Edie thought they must be in a hurry, "Wait for a moment. I will be right out."

Taking her purse, she stood up. Since she had been sitting for so long, her legs were sore and numb. She fell down and hurt her knees. "Ouch.....hurt." Stuart was frightened. With anxiety in his eyes, he asked, "What’s wrong? Where did you hurt yourself?"

Edie raised her head immediately. It was from Stuart. Oh no, to avoid seeing him, she hid in the bathroom and never expected that he would find her in there of all places. This was the lady’s room.

The voice of Stuart sounded like a rumble of thunder to Edie’s ears. She froze like statues and couldn’t move. She couldn’t even reply.

"Edie?"

She didn’t answer. It was not on purpose, but she had never encountered such an awkward situation before. She didn’t know what she should do. Stuart, all he could hear was the crying of Edie and nothing else. There was no other response from her. He was scared.

He recalled the accident ten years ago...he lowered his eyes and took a look at the door, he stepped back a little. Then he kicked the door down. "Thump," the door fell to the ground.

Edie never expected that Stuart would kick the door down. Raising her head, she saw his eyes.

She was confused, "Stuart, why did you do this? You destroyed public property." Stuart had no idea what was wrong with Edie, but he imagined the worst.

Seeing her sitting on the floor, with her two knees touching the floor, he didn’t know how to describe his feelings. He didn’t know if he should be getting mad or burst into laughter.

"Cold? Edie realized that he was asking her whether she was cold from sitting on the ground.

He wouldn’t dare laugh at her. She wanted to stand up but was too weak. Edie tried to cover her embarrassment and raised her voice, "Stuart, you are the CEO of L.N. Group. How could you do this? You kicked a door down. Your behavior is really..., really." She couldn’t find the words.

Stuart wanted to take a picture of her and show her how ridiculous she looked. He looked at her sitting on the floor and lowered his head and said, "naughty girl." He lowered his body and started to pick her up.

She was a little surprised and gently put her around his neck. Acting as though she didn’t know what he was about to do and she said, "Stuart, what are you doing? My legs are weak, and I really should sit down. I will be alright, just let me stay here for a few more minutes."

"The floor is cold!" Stuart said in a very stern voice. It was not a great place to be having a conversation, so Stuart took her in his arms and started to open the door. Edie was getting nervous and quickly grabbed the collar of his shirt, "Don’t go out there; everyone will see us."

Stuart stopped instantly and stared at her with his cold eyes, "What are you saying? You don’t want to be seen with me?" Edie didn’t know what to say. She nodded, "If we are seen together, the news will spread like wildfire."

"This is why you were trying to avoid me?" His voice was getting colder. Edie was feeling guilty, and she lowered her head. She didn’t know how to answer his question. He didn’t get a reply, he got angry and put her down and started to walk away.

She could feel his anger piercing through her body, and she started to get worried. "Stop, Stuart, I am okay now, I can walk. I just didn’t want anyone to see you holding me. They would be judgmental, and there would be nothing but gossip."

"Judgmental?" Stuart touched the corner of his mouth, "Who would dare to be judgmental or gossip about us?"

Edie knew he didn’t like using a robust method. She had to change her strategy. She had to try and give him a truthful explanation. Blinking her eyes as she was staring at him, "Stuart, please don’t be mad at me. I can explain it."

Hearing her sweet, soft voice, he forgot about his anger. Stuart stopped, fixing his eyes on her face, "Okay, then explain."

Seeing his face at such a close distance, she really didn’t know how to explain or how to tell him the truth. She knew he was gay and that he didn’t like women, but she was still found his appearance was very attractive. Whenever she was with him, she would sometimes forget about his sexual preference.

If things continued between them, and they kept seeing each other, she would not be able to control herself?

Stuart knew how persistent she was, so he stepped a little closer. All of a sudden, Edie was gently pushed against the wall. He gently put his mouth to her ear and placed his hands on her face.

She froze, feeling his touch against her skin. She raised her head and looked into his deep dark eyes.

He slowly lowered his head, and his lips almost touched hers.

"Now, tell me."
