Early in the morning, the morning sunlight filtered through the curtains into Anthea's eyes, waking her from a dream, opening her eyes to look around. It was seven o'clock in the morning, if it was normal, she would have been at the company early, concentrating on work.
The blanket was messy, there were a few unusual marks on his body, and there was a man lying next to him, without even thinking about what happened last night.
Memories of yesterday then flashed through her mind, making Anthea's head hurt the more she thought about it.
Within a day, she broke up with her fiancé after three years of passionate love, and also had a one - night stand with her director. And now, that person was lying next to her.
Looking at the strong back of the man in front of her, Anthea turned slightly, but this small movement directly awakened the other. Still not fully awake, he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her back to the bed. Anthea shrank back, not daring to take a deep breath. She lowered her eyes and found that the other person was looking at her tenderly.
"Are you awake?"
Anthea subconsciously nodded, after thinking for a while, she felt that this situation was not very appropriate, decisively getting out of the other's embrace to sit up. Although the pain coming from below made her grit her teeth, it was still okay to be reluctant.
“Yesterday we…”
Dalziel wanted to explain something, but Anthea immediately interrupted.
“There is no need to be so awkward. What happened yesterday was a mistake, we can't talk about it anymore after today."
Dalziel froze as if he was reloading his brain to adjust to his new identity, and Anthea casually dressed again. If it wasn't for Dalziel's awakening in time, she thought, she would have run away long ago.
When she finished her work, she wanted to take her bag and leave, but the other person pulled her hand again with tearful eyes, making the atmosphere suddenly become awkward.
“Hey, where are you going?”
The man hurriedly spoke up, his expression resentful and pitiful, making Anthea relent, still maintaining the same cold expression as before, adjusting the situation himself.
"Don't worry, Director, I will not ask you to take responsibility. Now I want to go home."
Looking up at him blankly, Anthea ignored the strangeness and wanted to step over him, her hand clenched once more.
“Everything has happened, I think I slept with you, so I should be responsible for you. My condition can be considered as good, I will absolutely not let you suffer, can you give me a chance?"
Of course not, Anthea rubbed her forehead.
“There is no need to talk about this anymore. I want to take the day off today, that kind of paid leave.”
Traditional thinking made Anthea lazy to engage with him, leaving a goodbye and impatiently leaving the hotel. As a result, the cold director seemed to tirelessly stalk her and bother her.
“Can you please stop following me? I won't cause any trouble for you in the future."
Finally Anthea couldn't take it anymore and shouted towards the other person. She also made it clear that he would become a stranger later, what does he want now? Was he so free that he would marry her after last night?
"I want to go to breakfast, I don't know if there are any good restaurants in this city, can you take me?"
The man was silent for a moment, then replied softly, his hands clasped together. The gesture of a child making a mistake made Anthea's voice soften as well.
"Then go find Secretary Egan, he knows this place very well."
Dalziel directly ignored Anthea's suggestion, pretending not to hear.
"He's with his lover this morning, I don't want to bother him."
Anthea clenched her fist to keep herself calm.
"So you go find your lover, find me?"
Anthea is not someone who will respect others, even if the other party is her director. So she directly gave Dalziel a tired look.
Dalziel stared at her, until Anthea felt breathless, his face gradually turning into embarrassment, did he happily answer.
"I was looking for her, but she didn't agree to come with me"
Faced with this sweetness, Anthea's face was not red, her heart was not beating fast, but she glared at him, pointing forward.
“You keep going straight, at the end of the road turn right. There is no restaurant, but there is a large hospital, the way it works is also very professional, it is very suitable for you to go there to check your brain."
Anthea gave a long speech and then, taking Dalziel as the air, went to her house. Fortunately, her house was very close to the hotel, so she did not have to endure the talk of the other director for too long. As soon as she saw the familiar room appear, Anthea was so touched that she almost cried.
Finally got to heaven.
“Anthea, can I come into your house? I have nowhere to go.”
Dalziel pretended to be pitiful, Anthea didn't even look and slammed the door in his face. Resentment is the cause of all trouble.
"Can not."
It's wonderful. Dalziel smiled softly, as Anthea's figure disappeared behind the wooden door. He licked his lips softly, it seemed like an angry kitten. Time is still long, he is not in a hurry, will let her slowly adapt to his existence.
At least now that Anthea had broken up with her ex-boyfriend, he had had a chance to approach her.
Dalziel brought a satisfied mood to the company, also brought a satisfied face to the board meeting.
"Director, the performance of the media department was not good this month, so the sales decreased by half compared to the previous month."
