The more she thought, the more she was sure that she was right.
If it was somebody else who told her that they didn’t find out, she would believe them, but she couldn’t believe it if it was Kenny Clarke.
His confidence was carved on his bone.
Gloria Taylor couldn’t stop thinking about it.
She had been thinking about it all day.
As soon as she got off from work, she hurried home by bus. She wanted to talk to Kenny Clarke about it.
However, when she arrived home, Kenny Clarke hadn’t come home yet.
Aunt Hu cooked dinner at seven o’clock and at that time, Kenny Clarke hadn’t come back home.
It was getting late. Aunt Hu suggested, “Young Lady, you can eat first. We don’t know when the Young Master will come back.”
“No. I will wait.”
It was normal for him to be busy on his first day returning to the Clarke Company. Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Just as she was about to take her phone, there was a call coming in.
It was Kenny Clarke.
She picked it up and asked, “When are you coming back?”
“I will come back after meeting. I may come home late. Don’t wait for me. You should go to bed first.” Kenny Clarke spoke tenderly despite sounding a little bit depressed. It seemed that he was exhausted.
The meeting lasted so long that he didn’t even notice the night was getting late.
As soon as the meeting was over, he immediately called Gloria Taylor.
“I see.”
Recently, although Gloria Taylor and Kenny Clarke didn’t go to work together, they would set off in the morning and come back at the same time in the evening.
Now, Gloria Taylor felt a little unaccustomed facing the empty room.
After done having her dinner, she went back to her room and started writing a manuscript on her laptop.
She was waiting for the sound of car outside while writing her manuscript.
But, after a busy day at work, she was too tired that she fell asleep right after getting on the bed.
Kenny Clarke saw this scene when he arrived home.
The room was warm. He walked inside and saw Gloria Taylor sleeping while leaning on the headboard with her head cocked.
One of her hand was still on the keyboard, her bangs were messy, and her hair was all over the place.
Kenny Clarke walked toward the bed and gently took the laptop from Gloria Taylor’s lap.
His movement was very gentle, but Gloria Taylor slept too lightly that she was awakened.
She opened her heavy lids, half awake. She looked at the man in front of her in daze, “You’re back.”
She slept sitting while leaning on the headboard with her head tilted for too long. When she tried to move, she lost control over her body and was about to fell off the bed.
Kenny Clarke quickly stretched out his hands to prop her head and her waist. He said in a low voice, “Go back to sleep.”
It worked like a spell. Gloria Taylor went back to sleep in a daze.
It only took ten seconds for her to doze off.
Kenny Clarke looked at her quiet sleeping face and giggled. He pinched her nose and murmured, “Are you a pig now?”
He walked to the bathroom to wash and went to bed. Gloria Taylor who was already sleeping seemed to know that he was lying beside her. She subconsciously moved into his arms.
Kenny Clarke looked at her gently and held her firmly in his arms. Soon, he also fell asleep.
***
The following day, when Gloria Taylor stretched out her hand to the other side of the bed, she found out that it was empty.
She suddenly rolled over and sat up.
Kenny Clarke didn’t come home last night, did he?
No, he did come back.
Gloria Taylor turned her head and found her laptop on the sofa.
She remembered that Kenny Clarke came back last night. He helped her move her laptop.
But, where was he? Did he already leave?
Gloria Taylor got out of the bed and put on her coat. She put on her slippers, opened the door, and ran downstairs.
Downstairs, she saw Kenny Clarke dressed in suit and was ready to set off.
She cried out, “Kenny?”
Kenny Clarke turned around and looked at her. He frowned slightly, “Go get ready. I will leave first.”
“Hm.” Gloria Taylor replied sadly. She watched him turning around and walked outside.
She opened her mouth, but she didn’t say anything at last.
Until Kenny Clarke disappeared from her sight, she tightened her coat and went back to the bedroom to get ready for work.
***
Kenny Clarke was particularly busy now.
He was too busy to have dinner with Gloria Taylor. When she woke up in the morning, he had already left or was about to leave.
When she came back in the evening, Kenny Clarke was still working overtime in the company. When he came back, she was asleep or already woke up.
Soon, a week passed.
Gloria Taylor thought that me might have a time off during weekend, but when woke up on Saturday morning, she saw Kenny Clarke dressed neatly in suit looking full of vigor.
He seemed to have an endless energy. He had been busy for a week, but he was still so energetic.
Gloria Taylor grabbed her phone and saw her tired face on the screen.
She went to work later than Kenny Clarke and got off from work earlier than him, but she did look more tired than him.
If she hadn’t been living with this man for a long time, she would have thought that he was not a human being.
“I’ll go to the company right away. You should have more sleep.”
Kenny Clarke heard a noise. He turned around to see her while lowering his head to tightened his cufflinks.
But, today, the cufflinks seemed to be against him. They just wouldn’t buckled up well.
Gloria Taylor removed the sheet and sat up. She said in a soft voice, “Come here.”
Kenny Clarke walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed. He stretched out his hand and gave the cufflinks to Gloria Taylor.
He lowered his eyes and saw her slim fingers buckled the cufflinks for him. After that, she helped him adjusted his coat for him.
He bowed his head and kissed her forehead, “It’s New Year soon. It’s better to get busy now so that I can relax later.”
Gloria Taylor was silent for a moment before she asked, “Do you have a lot of things to do in the company?”
“Yes. A lot of things.” Kenny Clarke looked a bit tired.
The next moment, both of them were silent.
Gloria Taylor seemed to think of something and said, “Do you know that brother is back?”
Kenny Clarke narrowed his eyes, “when did he come back?”
“He has been back for a few days. He also said that he wanted to have dinner with us.”
Gloria Taylor finally said what she wanted to say to him.
Kenny Clarke hesitated, “I will get off work early tomorrow. Let’s have dinner with him in Jin Ding.”
“Hm.” Gloria Taylor nodded. Her eyes was filled with joy.
Finally, she was to have dinner with Kenny Clarke!
