Chapter 12
\nA Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 12<\/p>\n
Half an hour later, they arrived at the City Garden Neighborhood, where Audrey lived. Bryson drove his black Bentley Mulsanne to the underground parking lot.<\/p>\n
Audrey was asleep against the back of the chair, showing no sign of waking up.<\/p>\n
Bryson stopped the car. He was not in a hurry to wake her up. His dark eyes were fixated on Audrey, in which there was a flash of light.<\/p>\n
He unfastened his seat belt, one arm crossing Audrey, and put on the armrest on her right. He was close to her.<\/p>\n
He lowered his head slowly, his breath on her face, and his lips getting closer and closer.<\/p>\n
In the end, he stopped, with his lips just a centimeter away from hers.<\/p>\n
If he continued to move forward, their lips could touch.<\/p>\n
However, he did not continue.<\/p>\n
The car was flooded with ambiguous feelings.<\/p>\n
Audrey felt something strange. She frowned, and with her eyelids trembling, she opened her eyes.<\/p>\n
Then, she saw through the car window. It was the parking lot of the City Garden Neighborhood.<\/p>\n
And Bryson was sitting in the driver’s seat beside her with a calm face.<\/p>\n
She was a little confused.<\/p>\n
‘Was it my illusion? I felt someone’s breath close to me, and it lingered around my nose.’<\/p>\n
“You’re awake?” Bryson whispered in a slightly hoarse voice.<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
Audrey realized that she fell asleep.<\/p>\n
“Why didn’t you wake me up?” Audrey looked embarrassed.<\/p>\n
She didn’t expect to fall asleep in Bryson’s car.<\/p>\n
“I just parked!”<\/p>\n
“Alright!” Audrey unfastened her seat belt and said, “Thank you for driving me home, Mr. Bryson.”<\/p>\n
Then, she opened the door and got off.<\/p>\n
She planned to watch Bryson leave before she went home. However, Bryson also opened the door and got out.<\/p>\n
Then, locking the car doors, he was prepared to leave.<\/p>\n
Audrey remained where she was.<\/p>\n
Bryson, “You’re not leaving?”<\/p>\n
Audrey said, “You’ll go upstairs with me? Mr. Bryson, it’s okay. When I call Grandma later, I’ll tell her that you sent me to the door.”<\/p>\n
“I’m a man of principles.”<\/p>\n
Audrey didn’t say anything.<\/p>\n
‘Alright. The parking lot or the door. There’s no difference.’<\/p>\n
Audrey had no choice but to ride up in the elevator with Bryson.<\/p>\n
When reaching the floor where her apartment was, Audrey walked straight to her door and then turned around.<\/p>\n
Bryson’s phone rang.<\/p>\n
“Alright, I’ll send it to you now.”<\/p>\n
“Mr. Bryson, I’m home,” Audrey said politely.<\/p>\n
“I need to use your computer to send something now.”<\/p>\n
“Okay.”<\/p>\n
‘It must be something important.’<\/p>\n
Audrey opened the door for Bryson right away.<\/p>\n
Before Bryson came in, she rushed in, picking up the underwear that she had taken from the balcony and put on the sofa yesterday, and bringing them into the bedroom.<\/p>\n
Then, he took his computer out of the bedroom and turned it on, placing it on the table.<\/p>\n
Bryson was sitting on the sofa.<\/p>\n
It was small. Bryson, who had long legs, couldn’t stretch his legs when sitting on it.<\/p>\n
Taking over the computer, Bryson looked at the screen and was stunned for a minute.<\/p>\n
There was a bloody line on the boot screen: The mills of God grind slowly.<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
Audrey felt too ashamed to face Bryson.<\/p>\n
Bryson did not feel anything. He began working. And Audrey went to the kitchen, bringing him a glass of water.<\/p>\n
“Here is your water.”<\/p>\n
“Thank you!”<\/p>\n
While Bryson was sending the information, Audrey thought of Kylee and called her.<\/p>\n
“Grandma, I’m home now.”<\/p>\n
“Yes, he escorted me to the door.”<\/p>\n
‘Visit me? For what?’<\/p>\n
Holding Audrey’s hand, Alma signaled Audrey to look outside the door, “It’s almost lunchtime. I’ve ordered meals for everyone in your firm.”<\/p>\n
Audrey was speechless.<\/p>\n
The meals were from a five-star hotel, and they were … deluxe packages.<\/p>\n
Audrey’s colleagues all looked at Audrey with gratitude as they ate the meals, especially Freddy.<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
He was happy because he had saved money.<\/p>\n
Freddy walked towards Audrey with a smile.<\/p>\n
“Audrey, is this your friend?” Freddy said, “You are welcome to visit us at any time!”<\/p>\n
Audrey didn’t say anything.<\/p>\n
She definitely wouldn’t want that.<\/p>\n
After Freddy left, Audrey touched her forehead again.<\/p>\n
“Miss Alma, you don’t need to do that.”<\/p>\n
Alma smiled.<\/p>\n
“It’s nothing. Besides, this is my first time here. I don’t know what to bring for you, and I can only do these simple things.”<\/p>\n
Audrey said,<\/p>\n
“Miss Alma, it’s nice of you. Please go in and have a seat!”<\/p>\n
“No!” Alma waved her hand, “I have things to do. I’ll be leaving soon.”<\/p>\n
“Alright.”<\/p>\n
Then, Alma looked at Audrey with a bashful face, “And I come here today because I have to ask you something.”<\/p>\n
“Go ahead, please.”<\/p>\n
“I’ve booked a table at the Romance Restaurant. It’s tonight. I want to ask Mr. Bryson out to dinner, but….”<\/p>\n
Audrey knew what Alma meant.<\/p>\n
‘Alma had treated my colleagues and me, and I should help her with that.’ After thinking, Audrey said,<\/p>\n
“I’ll ask him out for you.”<\/p>\n
Alma’s eyes gleamed, “That’d be great.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3343","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3343","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3343"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
