Chapter 81 Terrence Stays With Me
Terrence opened the door, and the light immediately came in from the corridor.
Alexa still refused to go with him, struggling.
Terrence stopped at the door.
He said, “If you don’t want to be seen by others, you’d better hide well.”
His threat was indeed very useful. Alexa thought about it for a moment and reluctantly stopped struggling. She buried her head in his arms.
Terrence still had that pleasant fragrance, but Alexa was stubborn and refused to let him affect her mood.
Not long after, Terrence carried her out of the elevator and walked to the most high-end presidential suite.
“I don’t want to stay here. Let go of me.”
Could it be that Terrence deliberately tricked her?
She could go bankrupt if she stayed in this place for a night.
“This hotel is owned by Hudson Group.” Terrence’s words dispelled her worries. “If you want to live outside, live here.”
Terrence finished speaking and gently placed her on the bed.
Alexa was like a cat that had been abandoned in a strange environment. She was full of vigilance. against her surroundings.
Terrence did not leave immediately. Instead, he took off his coat and hung it on the hanger.
He didn’t look like he was planning to leave.
Alexa looked him up and down warily.
“Why aren’t you leaving?” she asked with a frown.
“I’m so tired. I want to take a break.”
Terrence sat down, opened a bottle of wine, and slowly sipped it.
Alexa was so angry with him that she was speechless. She hid on the bed without changing her posture.
“You should rest early,” Terrence said, glancing at her. “I’ll leave once you’re asleep.”
Given what had happened the previous few times, Alexa did not believe him at all.
What if Terrence did something to her after she fell asleep?
Alexa lowered her head in deep thought, not noticing that Terrence had already gotten up and walked toward her.
Noticing the shadow in front of her, Alexa came out of her trance. Terrence raised his hand to pinch her face.
The strength he used was neither small nor big, but Alexa could feel the warmth of his fingertips.
Terrence leaned over and asked, “What are you thinking about?”
As she looked into his deep and quiet eyes, Alexa was almost obsessed with them.
She immediately shifted her attention and lay down. She pulled the quilt to cover her face, only revealing her eyes.
“I’m going to sleep. Hurry up and leave.”
Terrence curled the corners of his lips imperceptibly, turned around, and walked far away from her.
He turned off the lights but habitually left a dim light on.
Alexa felt the warm dim light and knew that he had not left yet.
Terrence sat under the lamp and was still tasting the bottle of wine.
Alexa could hear slight sounds coming from the other side from time to time. The sounds of the bottle colliding with the goblet and the table were like pearls falling into a glass.
The windows were made of top-quality sound-proof glass, but Alexa could still hear the faint sound of rain.
The rain must be heavy.
Would Terrence go back later?
However, Alexa was already exhausted and did not have the energy to care about Terrence’s plans.
Alexa curled up in the quilt and soon fell asleep.
The bottle of wine in front of Terrence was finished. He put down his glass and silently walked to
Alexa’s bedside.
She had completely relaxed. Her breathing was light. Her long eyelashes quietly covered her cold eyes.
Terrence had never been fascinated by someone like this.
Terrence couldn’t help but raise his hand. He gently touched her delicate features with the back of his hand that was not so rough.
Finally, his hand stopped at the corner of her lips for a moment.
Realizing that his thoughts had become wild, Terrence withdrew his hand as if he had got an electric shock. He quickly grabbed his coat and fled the room.
Terrence always felt that Alexa had known him for more than three years. He knew that his
thoughts were very crazy, but the feeling was very strong.
After getting in the car, he did not return to Duckdale Villa. He asked the driver to drive to the company.
Brynlee called him more than a dozen times, but Terrence did not answer any of them.
After a simple shower, he fell asleep in the lounge of the office.
When Edwin brought Terrence clothes the next morning, he found that Alexa and Brynlee were both in Terrence’s office.
Seeing Edwin’s expression, Alexa immediately knew that he must have misunderstood.
Alexa came to the office to deliver the document, but she had not expected to meet Brynlee instead of Terrence.
Not only that, Brynlee brought a delicate lunchbox, repeatedly emphasizing that she was there to deliver breakfast to Terrence.
“It must have rained heavily last night. Alexa, did you have a good sleep?” Brynlee glanced at Alexa arrogantly and puffed out her chest. “Terrence stayed with me. Where did you sleep?”
Alexa stood there with a cold face, ignoring Brynlee.
“Terrence is busy. He doesn’t have time to talk to you right now. Come here later,” Brynlee said with contempt.
“I’m sorry, but you don’t have a say here,” Alexa said politely.
In Alexa’s heart, people like Brynlee were pitiful.
To prove her value, Brynlee had only relied on becoming Terrence’s woman.
Edwin couldn’t stand it anymore and greeted them with a smile. When facing Alexa, Edwin became more respectful. He called Alexa Mrs. Ramsey meticulously.
Feeling the difference in Edwin’s attitudes toward them, Brynlee was very unhappy in her heart and glared at him.
However, Edwin did not care about her feelings at all. Instead, he walked to the door of the lounge. and knocked on the door respectfully.
Not long after, the door opened, and Terrence appeared at the door in a robe.
Alexa and Brynlee were both somewhat surprised. They had not expected Terrence to be here.
Brynlee’s face turned pale, looking funny.
The words that Brynlee had just said in front of Alexa instantly became a joke.
Seeing Alexa here, Terrence did not even change his clothes and directly walked up to her.
“What’s up?” he asked in a serious tone. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Seeing that Terrence was so concerned about Alexa, Brynlee, not to be outdone, immediately took the lunchbox and stuck to Terrence.
“Terrence, I made breakfast for you. Come and eat it.
“Let’s talk about it later.”
Terrence pushed Brynlee aside with a straight face and then looked at Alexa.
Alexa did not waste any time. She directly handed over the document and concisely explained the matter.
“I see,” Terrence responded.
He elegantly signed the document and handed it to her.
Alexa took the document and saw Brynlee standing at the side, winking like a clown. The smile on
Alexa’s face became sarcastic.
Alexa didn’t say anything. Her calm gaze fell on Brynlee and then on Terrence before she nonchalantly turned around and left with Edwin.
After Alexa left, Brynlee finally attracted Terrence’s attention. She used the same trick and clung to him, but the smile on Terrence’s face faded.
