Chapter 8
“What?” I didn’t respond for a while.
“Why sit down? If you go out in half an hour, I’m afraid you won’t have time to eat your staff food in the canteen.” As he spoke, he picked up a napkin to wipe the corner of his mouth, and picked up a sandwich to eat.
Now I understand. He wants to invite me out for fun.
Oh, no, to be exact, he wanted to go out to have fun, but he was not familiar with this place, so he asked me to be his guide!
Well, that’s right.
Now that the boss has asked me to do so, I’m sorry to refuse again. After all, if I don’t have breakfast now and go out later, I will be hungry.
After breakfast, I went back to my room and changed my working clothes. I wore a simple white T-shirt and a denim skirt. I followed Edmund out and went directly to the underground parking lot.
He walked straight to the VIP parking area, walked to a black Benz, opened the door and sat on the driver’s seat.
I’m standing there and thinking. Should I sit in the passenger seat? Or to sit in the back row?
It seems that I can’t sit in the back row. There is no reason for such a big shot like Edmund to be my driver.
But I’m a little scared to sit side by side with him.
When I was hesitating, the window of the passenger seat was rolled down.
“What are you waiting for?” Obviously, he was a little impatient.
Forget it. sit in the passenger seat. Can he still eat me?
Gritting my teeth, I opened the door of the passenger seat and got in.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Seat belt.” He reminded and started the car.
I fastened the seat belt obediently, and the car had slowly driven out of the garage and towards the road.
“Where are we going?” Edmund asked again.
“Well, how about going to the Fossil Museum? I heard that there are dinosaurs that were stored there tens of thousands of years ago.” in fact, I wanted to go there for a long time, but on the one hand, I didn’t have time. On the other hand, the museum was located in a remote place, and it took almost two hours to take a bus. It was so exhausting that I couldn’t go there. ”
All of a sudden, Edmund’s cell phone rang and a text message flew in. He glanced at the text message and sneered. Then he turned the car around and entered the opposite lane.
“Oh, no, the museum is not going this way. It should be straight forward.”
“To the Moon Island.” His indifferent voice came with unquestionable strength.
“Well…” didn’t he ask me to decide where to go?
Why did he change?
So why did he ask me to choose a place I like?
In order to avoid that place?
I’m a little upset.
“You don’t want to go?”
“No… No. how could it be?”
“Then be happy.”
It was too domineering. I cursed in my heart, but a bright fake smile appeared on my face.
She just wanted to see me happy?
Can’t I play it?
The car moved forward for twenty minutes. The air conditioner in the car made the temperature drop very low, which made me feel a little unbearable in a thin T-shirt with my arms exposed outside.
I held my arms tightly and trembled from time to time.
All of a sudden, Edmund opened the car storage box in front of me, took out a folded and neat Burberry thin blanket and threw it on me. “Cover yourself with it if you feel cold.”
I felt a little embarrassed and waved my hand. “I’m fine. I… I don’t… ah Choo…”
The moment I sneezed, I really wanted to jump out of the car and disappear from his sight.
It was so humiliating.
Putting the thin blanket on my body, I felt much warmer in an instant. Perhaps it was because I had slept too late last night and didn’t have enough rest, i soon felt sleepy and fell asleep accidentally with my eyes closed.
I had a good sleep. When I woke up and opened my eyes, I saw a pair of deep black eyes and a handsome face.
“Are you awake?” His voice was deep, magnetic and pleasant to hear.
My brain was still in a daze. When I came to my senses, I immediately screamed and apologized to the person in front of me, “I’m sorry, Mr. Edmund, i… I didn’t fall asleep on purpose. Your car was too steady and comfortable to sit, so…”
“I didn’t expect you to flatter me.” With a faint smile on his face, he turned around, opened the door and got off the car.
I was embarrassed. It was the first time that the word “flatter” had been used on me.
The Moon Island was a small natural island twenty miles away from City X.
Due to the government’s protection, the island had not been developed in the early years. It had a beautiful natural scenery and a large number of primeval forests.
In the past three years, the Moon Island had been a hit in real estate industry. In order to attract investment and develop tourism resources vigorously, the government relaxed the policy. The island was put into the development plan. For a time, many developer were coveting this island with unique conditions.
Although it was still unknown who owned the development right, the air route to the Moon Island had already been opened. It was open to the citizens on weekends, so many citizens would take their families to play on the island on weekends. The Moon Island’s reputation was spread around.
As soon as I got off the car behind Edmund, I saw a yacht waiting for us at the dock.
“You… You want to take a boat?” Looking at the yacht floating on the sea, I was a little scared.
“Afraid?” Edmund looked at me and asked.
“No, No.”
“Let’s go.” Edmund naturally took my hand and got on the boat.
My face flushed instantly, but I didn’t dare to break free. I was held by him obediently.
Although I said I was not afraid, I didn’t dare to move after getting on the ship.
The sea is windy and the yacht is fast. I have an illusion that the boat will turn over at any time.
I turned her head to look at the man beside . He was facing the wind, with his hair blown back. His face was calm and there was no worry.
All of a sudden, the yacht turned a corner. My body leaned to the right out of inertia, and my head hit his shoulder gently.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry…” with a frown, I rubbed my forehead and apologized. Something was rolling in my heart, as if it was about to spit out at any time.
He frowned and asked, “carsickness?”
“Okay.” I endured the discomfort in my heart, blinked and nodded.
“Hold on.” Then he turned to the yacht pilot and asked, “do you have any medicine for carsickness?”
The driver pointed at the first aid kit beside him and said, “let’s look for it inside.”
“Don’t bother, i… I didn’t…” I didn’t want to bother him, but before I could finish my words, a strong sense of nausea rushed up, and I had to shut up and cover my chest.
Edmund opened the first aid kit and rummaged through it, but he didn’t see the medicine for carsickness.
“Slow down.” He turned to the driver and ordered. Then he went to the storage box in the front row and took a bottle of water and handed it to me. “Drink some water.”
I took the water, cold, frowned and took two sips before putting it down.
‘what should I do?
I still wanted to throw up
I’m so regretful that I want to cry.
Before getting on the boat, I should have told him that I was carsick when he asked me.
Now, i wanted to throw up, but I didn’t dare.
Just when I felt I couldn’t hold on any longer and was about to throw up by the side of the boat, a warm big palm reached out and held my head. Then, I was pulled to the right and my body was leaning against a broad and warm embrace.
What happened?
I was startled and struggled to get up, but my head was forced to lean against his chest again. “Don’t move. Just lean like this. Close your eyes.”
“Eh?” My mind was full of doubts, but I really didn’t dare to move.
His strong and powerful heartbeat could be heard clearly. His heartbeat was so rhythmic that even my heart beat violently.
i was so embarrassed, shy and nervous.
I didn’t dare to open my eyes. I know my face must have been as red as an apple at this time. As I took a deep breath, I could smell the Cologne from him.
Maybe it was because the boat slowed down, or because I leaned against him, my attention was diverted and highly concentrated on the tense nerves. Not long after, the nausea and vomiting feeling disappeared, and was replaced by sleepiness.
Leanna, you had slept for a long time in the car, but now you had to sleep again on the ship.
Cheer up! You can’t sleep anymore!
As I warned myself, I fell asleep again.
I didn’t sleep for too long and we arrived at the destination.
