Love You Can’t Say

The old man hurriedly questioned when he saw me with Luis who was drunk, “Why did the young master drink so much? Thank you for sending him back.”

I smiled, gave Luis to him, and left.

I planned to walk back but T Villa was extremely large, almost all of them were standalone villas. The distance between the two villas was very far apart. Although they are all in the same area, it would still take some time to walk back.

Instead, I drove Luis’s car back.

After the whole day of events, it was already midnight when I returned to the villa. With the thought of an early rise tomorrow, I parked the car downstairs and wanted to head to the villa to wash up and sleep.

Unfortunately, as soon as I got out of the car, I saw Dennis who stood outside the door. The man was tall and had an indifferent temperament. Under the dim light, there was some smoke that were exhaled from him.

I frowned. Why was he smoking outside, is he’s okay?

He put off his cigarette when he saw me, his eyes were a little gloomy under the dim light, “Where have you been?”

“Had a meal with a friend!” I was feeling a little tired, so I went straight to the villa after responding to him.

He grabbed my wrist and took advantage of the situation and pulled me into his arms. I didn’t know how many sticks he had smoked however the strong smell of tobacco made me unbearable, “Dennis!”

“What sort of friend did you eat with that made you drink alcohol when you’re pregnant?” His voice was a little stern and hoarse.

The wine smell must had gotten onto me when I supported Luis earlier.

I was uncomfortable by his embrace, pushed him away, and said, “I didn’t drink!”

I was feeling sleepy and tired, all I wanted to do is to immediately sleep. However, Dennis seemed to be not thinking straight, as he pulled me to look at the Maybach and said, “That’s worth a lot of money, it’s even a limited edition! Clara, have you found the next man?”

What the hell!

I held back scolding profanities at him. I pushed him away and saw his somewhat decadent appearance. I became even angrier, “Dennis, please don’t define me with your narrow perception. I am not like you, who have plenty to choose from and can go to whoever you please as and when you like.”

I turned around and went straight back to the bedroom after stating my piece.

I locked the door, did a simple wash up and went to sleep.

It was probably due to needing to wake up early, along with my fatigue, that I fell immediately asleep once I laid down.

The phone rang several times, I woke up in a daze and I wasn’t processing anything. When the alarm rang again, it was switched off by someone.

I wanted to continue sleeping, but the sudden thought of a business trip made me abruptly sit up, and my drowsiness slowly dissipated.

“What’s the matter?” There was a hoarse voice from the side, and his sleepiness was still evident from his tone.

I was taken aback when I saw Dennis beside me. He was sound asleep, with his long hand still around my waist, and I frowned thinking about the locked bedroom door.

After some thought, it made sense if he left a spare key from himself since he previously kicked down the door.

I took away his hand that was on my waist and went to retrieve my mobile phone.

It rang a few times earlier. It was probably switched off by Dennis who found it too noisy.

After switching on the phone, a call came in again, and I picked it up, “Hello!”

“Ms. Kennedy, should you be getting ready to go to the airport now for your 5am flight?” That voice is… Luis?

I frowned, “You are going on a business trip with me?” Jackie only told me that the credit bureau would send someone with me, but he didn’t say who it was.

“Yes. Get up quickly and drive over to pick me up. You drove my car away last night!”

I raised my eyes and looked at the time. It was four o’clock in the morning. He’s rather amazing. He drank so much last night, yet he was still able to wake up today. Amazing!

After I hung up the call, I packed up and then quickly left with my suitcase.

When I picked Luis up, he still had a head of unkept hair, and he was not fully awake. When he got into the car, he looked at me and said, “I’ll drive!”

I was speechless, how could he drive in that state?

“I’ll drive!” It’s not far from the airport, it would only take half an hour. In addition, there was no traffic jam at this time, hence it wouldn’t take long to arrive.

Fortunately, there weren’t many people, and it didn’t take much time to obtain the boarding pass and go through the security check. After getting on the plane, Luis asked the stewardess for a blanket and went to sleep.

The journey from Newton Town to City A took 3 hours. I also slept on the plane for a while.

By the time I woke up, Luis looked at me earnestly and said, “Let’s head to the branch office to settle the work first then head to the hotel to sleep.”

That sound a little awkward.

I didn’t think too much about it. I got up and followed him out of the plane in a daze. The branch office had sent a car to pick us up, so it wasn’t a hassle to reach the branch office.

They are a company owned by the George Group and had similar operating models and management styles. After entering the company, Jason Andrews, the president of this branch and allocated the resources and spoke to us briefly with some words of formalities.

He contacted the finance team and held a small meeting with several departments. After that, Luis interacted with the finance team. He held onto a bunch of documents and wanted to leave the company with me.

I looked at the pile of documents in his arms and questioned, “Don’t you plan to work on them in the office?”

“It’s inconvenient!” He spoke as he organized his documents. He looked at me and said, “I ordered food and got them to deliver it to the hotel. Get some rest after you’re done with your meal.”

He was so meticulous that I was a little surprised. I nodded slightly.

The hotel was pre-booked. When we entered the hotel, the hotel staff took us to our floor and said as we walked, “Your meals have been delivered to the room. If you need anything else, you can call the front desk.”

“Ok!” After responding, Luis and I entered the room. We originally booked two rooms, but since Luis ordered food, there was no need to eat separately. So, it was all sent to one room.

I got up early in the morning and we didn’t interact much on the plane. I got into multiple meetings and got assigned the work. I was really tired and hungry from the whole day of events.

After having the meal, I got up and was prepared to go to another room to rest. He looked at me and said, “You can rest here. I’ll go to the other room in a while.”

I didn’t comment much since he was still eating. I was really tired. The hotel room was a service apartment, the bedroom and living room were separated.

I just went into the bedroom, turned on the air conditioner. I lay on the bed while waiting for Luis to finish his meal and leave so that I could take a shower and go to sleep.

It didn’t take long for me to fall dead asleep. When I woke up, I saw that I was covered by a quilt and there were sounds of paper flipping from the living room.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

I was taken aback. I got up and went out of the bedroom and saw Luis sitting on the sofa with a stern face, opening the documents, and verifying from the information with his computer from time to time.

It seemed that he was dealing with all these work without getting any rest.

It was not a good habit to go to bed once you’ve finished eating. I sat in the bed for a while, and my stomach did not feel well.

After a long time, I came out of the bedroom. Luis lay down on the table as he read the documents and was probably too engrossed to notice my presence.

I took a glass of water and put it beside him, and said, “Take a break!”

He raised his head abruptly, was taken aback. He blankly nodded and after drinking the glass of water, he looked at me and said, “You’re awake!”
