The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming

Chapter 226: Chapter 223: Rejected

The next day.

In the morning, the warm sunlight seeped through the gaps in the curtains and onto the pure white quilt.

When Elliana Lyle woke up, the phone by her bedside was still connected, displaying the name "Norman Bennett" on the screen.

She picked up the phone and slowly sat up, rubbing her groggy head. Last night, she called Norman Bennett.

She must have been too tired and fell asleep while talking.

"Awake?" Perhaps he heard her rustling, as a slightly indifferent voice came from the other end of the phone.

She was stunned for a long time before putting the phone to her ear and slowly speaking, only to find she couldn’t utter a word. With great effort, she managed to say just one: "Hello."

It was obvious that her voice was hoarse, she was somewhat voiceless, and there was a foreign feeling in her throat, swollen and painful—she must have caught a cold.

"What’s wrong with your voice? Are you feeling unwell?" The man detected the anomaly and asked.

She coughed a couple of times to feel slightly better, waved her hand into the air, and said, "It’s nothing, just a dry throat, I’ll drink some water."

Saying this, she pulled off the quilt, got out of bed, walked to the table, took a bottle of mineral water, and used her shoulder and ear to hold the phone so she could free her hands to unscrew the cap.

While drinking, she glanced at the air conditioner, which displayed a temperature of 16. It seemed that the AC was set too low, which caused her slight cold.

"Norman Bennett, you can get busy. I’m getting up now," she said.

She didn’t want the man to worry about her; she could handle it herself.

"Okay, I’ll come to pick you up this afternoon."

"Huh?" His words surprised her. Hadn’t they agreed yesterday that she’d stay at the Horizon Hotel all month?

This way, she wouldn’t need to commute back and forth, which was evidently more convenient.

Perhaps perceiving her thoughts, the man added, "I don’t feel comfortable with you staying outside."

She explained, "I’m really safe, Norman Bennett, I can handle it myself."

"Be obedient." The man’s voice carried a certain authority and was somewhat forceful in his attitude.

Helplessly, she could only say, "Oh, I understand."

Seeing this, the man’s tone softened as well: "Good girl."
