386: WAITING

WAITING

After her team members left, Han Luo pulled her tired body to the bed. The soft mattress made her relax. She felt Mo Yuan's hand caressing her back just like Noah did when she was a kid.2

Han Luo smiled and snuggled closer to him to feel his warmth. She nuzzled her nose against his chest out of habit.

Mo Yuan liked it when she acted like a spoiled cat. He rubbed her back to soothe her and asked at the same time, "Did you have a hard time today?"

Han Luo sang, "Not at all. I had a good time." Thinking of today's event, she smirked. She really had lots of fun today.

"Didn't your team member give you a hard time?" Mo Yuan was worried about her. Even though he, Han Sheng Ming, and Zheng Mian didn't bother them, they heard the conversations since Nancy was too loud.

Han Luo spoke nonchalantly, "I gave her a day to think. Whatever she decides, the future plan will depend on it." She wasn't worried about what Nancy would decide. Whatever she would decide, Han Luo would work accordingly. Truthfully, she didn't expect to face trouble in her own team. William's accident was unexpected.

Mo Yuan's back of the fingers brushed over her face as he said, "And you say you still had a good time. Xiao Ming said that you went to Smith Corporation today. Did you have a hard time there?"

Han Luo felt like gossiping. She sat up on the bed and excitedly described what happened there, "Oh no, let me tell you what happened. Larry hid something important from us. Noah did some digging and found out that the store was being used as a drug addicts' gathering place…"

Mo Yuan frowned. His eyes became vicious. "That guy… I won't forgive him for what he had done…"

Han Luo told him, "No, no, I must thank him for that. I was able to buy that shop with five thousand pounds and made President Smith agree to help us renovate the store."

"…And he agreed…" Mo Yuan could think about what she did in order to make him sign this unfair contract.

"He had to agree. Who would want to expose their dirty laundry to the world? Han Luo laughed in glee.

"Naughty girl." Mo Yuan affectionately pinched her nose while laying on the bed. He drew her back to bed and asked, "Why didn't you ask for my help?"

While putting her head on the soft pillow, she said, "I could do it without your help. And I won't want to take your help when it comes to my work. I want to finish my work with my effort. I want people to think that I'm your worthy partner."

Mo Yuan didn't like it. He asked, "Why do you have to care about what others think? As long as I know you are mine, it means you are mine."

Han Luo told him, "If I'm not strong enough, hungry bees will attack you. I have to be so strong that those nasty bees won't dare to lay an eye on you."

Mo Yuan found it funny that she called other women 'hungry bees'. He suggested, "What if I kill those nasty bees?"

Han Luo demanded, "You are not allowed to even glance at them."

Mo Yuan smirked. "Okay, I won't even look at them. Happy now?"

"Hmm." Han Luo nodded in satisfaction.

Mo Yuan played with her hair and proposed. "Ah Luo, let's go somewhere in the winter vacation."

"Sure! I would love to," Han Luo easily agreed. "But before that, I want to join your company as an intern."

"Sure, I will tell dad to make a seat vacant for you." Mo Yuan wasn't surprised that she wanted to join their office.

  Although she did lots of assignments, he was zero experience in fieldwork and that's why she was struggling. It was a lot of pressure to take for an eighteen years old girl. Han Sheng Ming, Tang Yujin, and Mo Yuan began to do some fieldwork when they were sixteen. However, when Han Luo was sixteen, she was in a coma.

"No, don't vacant a seat for me. I don't want to join with special treatment. I want to act like a normal intern." Han Luo's tone was firm. She was serious about this.

Mo Yuan pinched her cheek and said, "As you wish, my lady. Do you want to be under my team?"

Han Luo shook her head. "No way! I want to be under someone wise and old."

Mo Yuan's expression darkened. "Why do you want to work under someone else? What's wrong with me?"

Han Luo shared her reason, "I don't think you will let me do any work. Moreover, I can learn more from an experienced employee."

"I don't like it," Mo Yuan gave her his opinion.

"Then I have to bribe you, don't I?" Han Luo cupped his face and pressed her lips against his.

After a soft and sweet kiss, she pulled away. That's when Mo Yuan tightened his arms around her waist. He said, "This small bribe isn't enough."

Han Luo sulked. "You have to be so greedy, haven't you?"

While they were having a sweet time, President Luther Smith was waiting for his son to come home.

Larry went to have fun with girls again thinking that his plan was successful. He came back after his father's secretary searched for him, found him, and brought him back to the estate.

Generally, he was very annoyed. He couldn't understand what's so urgent that his father asked his secretary to forcefully bring him back from a fun place. He came back home in a half drunk state.

As soon as he stepped inside, he began to complain in a slurred voice, "Dad… what's wrong with you? Why did you have to ruin my fun? I told you not to-"

Pa!

Before he could finish the sentence, he was slapped hard right across the cheek.
