Chapter 6
She shook her head and threw away those thoughts before answering the phone.
"Mr. Bryson."
Bryson's deep voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Where are you now? Still at the company?"
His assistant had seen Audrey and should have told Bryson that she had come.
"I'm at a restaurant nearby. Is there anything I can do for you, Mr. Bryson?"
"Grandma just called and wanted me to ask you. Are you going home for dinner tonight?"
Audrey replied, "Tell grandma that I might work overtime at night, so I won't go back for dinner."
"Alright."
After getting off work, Audrey ate something outside and went back to her apartment.
After returning to the apartment, she immediately took a shower and got refreshed. Then she put on a comfortable nightgown and came out of the bathroom. She was about to go to the bedroom when someone knocked on her door.
On her way back home, the landlady called her. When they signed the contract yesterday, the landlady left her portable charger in the house. And she was going to take it tonight.
It must be her.
Audrey picked up the portable charger on the coffee table and walked to the door.
The landlady was a middle-aged woman. There was nothing to worry about. So, Audrey just opened the door in her nightgown.
"Mrs...."
Audrey opened her mouth and then froze when she saw the two people standing outside the door.
It was not her landlady, but Bryson and Kylee.
"You ... what are you doing here?" Audrey stuttered.
"What took you so long?" Kylee walked in and looked discontented.
"I was taking...."
Then Audrey suddenly realized that she was wearing a nightgown.
So, she looked at Bryson, and he was stunned too. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Audrey wrapped her arms around herself and flew back to the bedroom.
Three minutes later, she walked out in casual clothes.
Her cheeks were still very red, and she looked at Bryson with frustration.
She didn't know if he saw something just now.
Although her nightgown was not translucent, it was a lace-up skirt. She liked comfortable clothes, so the belt around her waist was loose. It made the neckline very low. Moreover, she didn't wear a bra, and the skirt was a little short.
But now, Bryson did not stare at her, and he looked quite normal. It was as if he did not mind about the accident just now.
Audrey secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Maybe she was thinking too much.
She had seen him in skimpy clothes once before. Now they were even.
Kylee did not notice that Audrey was embarrassed. When Audrey came out of the room, she began to nag.
"Elliana, look at this place. The room is so small, and it stinks. How can you live here? No, you should come home with me right now."
Audrey didn't know what to say.
She was puzzled and looked at Bryson.
"Grandma wanted to see your apartment. I can't stop her," Bryson replied.
"If I haven't insisted on coming over, I would never know that you're living in such a place. Move. You should move back tonight," Kylee said with a grim face.
"Grandma, wait." Audrey said coaxingly, "I pay for the rent myself. You should be happy for me."
"I can't. How can my granddaughter live here?"
"But I like it here!"
"No, you can't live here!"
After acting pouty for a long time, Audrey finally talked Kylee out of the idea.
However, Kylee was still very dissatisfied with the apartment and complained about it all the time.
It was almost nine o'clock.
Audrey started thinking about how to make Kylee and Bryson leave.
"Grandma, it's getting late...."
Before Audrey could finish her sentence, the gloomy sky rumbled with thunder. Then it rained heavily.
Audrey was lost for words.
"The weather forecast says that it will rain until two or three in the morning," Bryson said.
Audrey got speechless.
Kylee sighed, "Looks like I have to stay here tonight."
Audrey didn't know what to say.
The wind and rain lashed at the building. The thunder roared in the sky. Audrey could not drive them away now.
However, if they were to stay here...
She only had one room.
Seeing Audrey was struggling, Bryson said in time, "You and Grandma sleep in the bedroom. I'll sleep on the sofa in the living room."
"Of course. You want me or your sister to sleep on the sofa?"
Audrey couldn't say anything.
So, they had arranged everything? But no one asked her for her opinion.
...
Since Kylee and Bryson were both going to stay here, Audrey got them two new toothbrushes and towels.
Kylee could wear Audrey's pajamas.
Audrey took out a new pair of men's pajamas and handed it to Bryson.
"It's new." Audrey looked awkward as she handed the pajamas to Bryson.
Nell sent it to her as a housewarming gift when she moved here yesterday. And it matched Audrey's nightgown.
Audrey didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.
Bryson looked at the pajamas and raised his eyebrows.
If he wasn't mistaken, the pajamas matched what Audrey wore when she opened the door.
"Thanks!"
"It's fine!"
After Kylee lay down on the bed, Audrey came to the living room. She put away the pillows on the sofa so that Bryson could lie down comfortably. She took out a quilt and a pillow. Then she pulled the coffee table aside.
Just as she put everything away, the bathroom door opened. Audrey turned around and saw Bryson walking out in the pajamas.
The moment she saw Bryson, Audrey felt her cheeks flush.
The pajamas fit him perfectly.
However, the neckline was too low, revealing more than half of his pecks. Bryson just took a shower, and some water was dripping from his hair. The water droplets slid along his neck, his collarbone, and then down into his pajamas.
Coupled with his handsome face, Bryson was simply the Siren on the sea. Audrey wished to tear his clothes and make love to him right away.
Audrey's mouth felt dry.
She subconsciously took a swallow.
She couldn't help but scold Nell for giving her such skimpy pajamas in her heart.
She had to live with this for the rest of her life now.
Audrey stared at Bryson for three seconds before she said something.
"Well, I've cleaned up the sofa. You can sleep now."
She flew back into the bedroom like a rabbit that had its tail stepped on. She closed the door and locked it.
Seeing Audrey going back to her room in a panic, Bryson smiled meaningfully like a hunter, who had found his prey.
...
Audrey woke up from thirst at midnight. She got up in grogginess and went to the kitchen for some water.
She didn't turn on the lights when she passed by the living room.
Suddenly, she tripped over something on the ground and fell hard on something...
Audrey couldn't help but snort.
In the darkness, she frowned and touched it. It was warm.
Because she couldn't see anything in the dark, her hearing and touch became even more acute. She could feel the warm human-like skin and the strong heartbeats.
Heartbeats?
Then the beating of the heart suddenly increased. And she could feel warm breathing above her head.
It was a man!
Why would she have a man in her room?
Three seconds later.
Audrey's muddled head finally cleared up and she remembered who was lying on the sofa. Her face became burning hot and she tried to get up. But the man wrapped his strong arm around his waist and she once against was forced to stay in his arms. What was more embarrassing, her lips seemed to have touched his.
He gave a muffled laugh and held the back of her head. It was a passionate kiss. As his tongue moved around in her mouth, his other hand slid under her clothes.
