Chapter 12
“Don’t… don’t talk into my car.” Whitney moved her head away awkwardly.
“But why?” Julius knew why, but he purposely leaned forward flier to whisper in her ear again.
He might have really wanted to do nothing more than rub some ointment on her bruise, but if he continued teasing her like this, she wasn’t sure if she wanted more than that.
“Never mind why. Didn’t you say you wanted to rub ointment on my bruiset Go get the ointment then she quickly changed
the topic.
He chuckled amusedly and got up to get the ointment,
Her embarrassment faded when she heard that little chuckle.
That was the first time she had heard a genuine laugh from him,
If she could make him smile like this more often, she didn’t mind going through more embarrassing moments.
While waiting for him to fetch the ointment, she fell asleep.
So, even if he was hoping for something more, it wasn’t going to happen.
The next day, he was still asleep when she woke up. She had probably rolled out of his arms in the night, so his hand was tightly wrapped around hers to make sure she remained by his sile.
She didn’t even remember falling asleep the night before. But when she saw that she was properly dressed in pajamas and her bruise didn’t hurt anymore, a warm and fuzzy feeling filled her heart.
If only life could be like that every day she thought.
By the time her thoughts returned to reality, Julius had already woken up.
He still looked a little drowsy and his gaze was a little unfocused, but his eyes instantly lit up when he saw Whitney next to him. He stretched his arm out to pull her back into his embrace
She noticed his arm reaching for her, so she rolled into his arms herself.
He immediately smiled and rested his chin on the top of her heil
“Wake up, sleepyhead. We still have to get to your parents‘ place she said as she continued hugging this giant pillow named Julius
“It’s still early. We can sleep in a little longer,” he replied after glancing at the clock. ”
“You can continue sleeping then. I’ll go wash up first,” she said as she started getting up,
He tried to get up too, but she said, “You’re always so tired at work, so you should get a little more rest. Besides, don’t you know girls take a long time to get dressed?”
He obediently lay back down again.
Most of her clothes were still in the master bedroom, so after she washed up, she quietly left the room
She had no idea that the man left inside the room opened his eyes again, once she had closed the door behind her.
Chapter 12
After spending such a peaceful night with Julius, Whitney nearly forgot that a certain eyesore still existed
She intended to spend a quiet day with Julius and his parents, but someone just had to come knocking on her door and create trouble for her.
“Whitney Zinke! Come out right now!”
There was a commotion outside the house again.
After everyone had witnessed Whitney’s kicking abilities the day before, they looked at her new visitor with pity in their
eyes
Irvin did find it strange that none of the bodyguards was stopping him from going in but all of them were looking at him sympathetically.
That wasn’t important now. After Rainie was sent to his house in sad state the day before, he became really angry with Whitney.
How dare she injure someone close to him?!
He had thought this through before coming. If Whitney didn’t try to dissipate his anger with at least two good scripts, he was never going to forgive her!
When Whitney heard the commotion outside, her first thought was, “Wow, the soundproofing of the bedroom is really excellent.”
A commotion like that early in the morning still made her frown anyway. She pointed at one of the servants who didn’t look too busy and said, “Go out and see what’s going on.”
She thought the servant would carry, out her instructions immediately, but the servant just stood there without moving
Even though she knew most of the servants in this house didn’t like her, she thought that at the very least, they would listen to her orders. Her assumptions proved to be wrong.
But she didn’t lose her temper. If any servant was unwilling to work for the household, she could tell the servant to leave. Everyone had to work for their wages after all.
Just when she was about to walk outside to take a look for herself, she heard the same servant mutter, “What right does she have to order me around? All she does is throw tantrums all day und get away with it just because she’s pretty. I don’t even know if Mr. Latreille really likes her or not….
May overheard these words and was about to scold her when Whitney walked over to the servant and said in an annoying and flippant voice, “You know, I agree with everything you’ve just said. But guess what? Mr. Latreille does really seem to like me very much.”
She even put on a rather perplexed expression as she said these words to the servant.
The servant glared back at Whitney and looked ready to slap her
However, the real reason why Whitney even bothered talking to this servant was that she remembered that this was the very same servant who tried to seduce Julius in her previous life. She ended up breaking three ribs after he had kicked her aside.
many actions were a result of a thought that began brewing a long time ago. It was true that discovered the thought.
It was just a matter of when one
Since she discovered it so early on, she decided to give this servant a chance so that the servant a painful injury in the future.
uldn’t have to:
o suffer such
Chapter 12
Whitney felt that she was being merciful but the servant felt otherwise and had no idea that Whitney was doing this to safeguard her future. She just thought that Whitney was trying to cover up her guilt.
However, Whitney didn’t bother herself with this servant anymore and walked right out of the door. All the bodyguards outside were still standing in front of the door and Irvin immediately opened his mouth to speak when he spotted her coming out.
Before he could say anything. Whitney started speaking first, but she didn’t address him. “So many of you are standing out here but you still let this man make so much noise? Don’t you know that Julius is still sleeping? Why does he bother paying any of you? Are all of you just here for show?”
Their failure to do anything to stop Irvin instantly riled her up.
Whitney’s stern voice made her sound almost as imposing as Julius, so it really shook everyone up.
It finally hit them. Their boss was at home.”
They quickly surrounded Irvin and got ready to throw him out.
Then, Whitney spoke again, “Hold it! You guys can let him in. I wasn’t instructing you to detain him. I was trying to say that no matter who comes to this house in the future, you shouldn’t let him make such a racket,”
When she spoke this time, she seemed to have reverted to her calm self, without much of a temper and was far more reasonable.
Irvin was afraid of getting thrown out by the bodyguards, so he didn’t say anything as he walked towards Whitney. He stood in front of her and hissed through gritted teeth, “What on earth are you trying to do?”
Whitney was standing a step higher than Irvin, so she looked down at him and scoffed, “Didn’t Rainie pass on the message yesterday?”
The mere mention of the word ‘yesterday‘ made Irvin angry. He had been waiting for Rainie to bring him good news, but all he got was a badly beaten–up woman who was barely conscious, much less one who could bring him any message.
“How dare you talk about yesterday?! The other thing that came to his mind was how he ended up trending on Twitter the entire day.
