Chapter 74: If ever you're in my arms again
~~~We had a once in a lifetime, but I just couldn't see it until it was gone. A second once in a lifetime, maybe too much to ask but I swear from now on... If ever you're in my arms again, this time I'll love you much better. If ever you're in my arms again, this time I'll hold you forever, this time will never end~~~

Luke's POV: "Babe..."
I turned to see Cherry on the bed, wearing her red silk nightgown and based on the way she patted the space next to her and the mischievous smile playing on her lips, I already knew what she wanted.
I got up from the table and took my computer. I intend to go into the study room and continued checking the reports there, but I stopped when she got up and asked me with a frown.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to the study room," I answered shortly and headed for the door. "You should go to sleep, you still have a show tomorrow."
"Ahg! And what about you?"
"I still have to check the company's financial statements because dad already asks me and he's expecting this by tomorrow."
"If that so, you're still going to come with me tomorrow, right?"
"I'm sorry, but I can't." I shake my head. "Dad and I have a meeting tomorrow with the investors, I'll just ask Ryan to come with you." "But babe---"
"I'm going to the study room, goodnight." I didn't even wait for her reply as I had already walked out the door and closed it behind me. "Whew..." I sighed the moment I reached the guest room which I used as an extension office and a study room at the same time.
I put my laptop on top of the table and sat in the chair with another loud sigh. Actually, I just lied earlier when I said I still have to check the financial reports and that dad was already asking for it. I wasn't just in a mood to do what she was asking. I don't know, even I myself can't explain why I suddenly don't want to touch her.
I leaned back in my seat and was about to close my eyes when the door opened and Cherry walked in still wearing her daring red velvet nightgown. She opened it as she took steps closer to me and her firm and round breasts came into my sight, including the intimate area between her legs.
I gulped and held my breath not because of the kind of view she's giving me, but because I'm afraid of what to tell her this time just to refuse what she was about to ask.
