Chapter 35
6:00 AM in the morning . . .
Kier sets his alarm clock in his phone to wake up earlier than his usual time because his laundry was been pile up . His pad is just 15 minutes away from the hotel so he has no worries to rush for work every day .
He reached for his eyeglasses and walked towards his bathroom . It also serves as a toilet room and a laundry area .
The moment he opens the door, an unpleasant view greeted him . A loud scream to be heard in every corner of his studio type bachelor's pad .
He marched upstairs to his open space bedroom just above his library at the same time his study area . The living room in this pad also uses as a dining area connected into a small space of a kitchen .
"Wake up!" he screamed .
"What!? Still early morning," replied by the person under his warm blanket .
Kier crosses his arms and stood in the foot of the bed . Not too long had passed, and the person underneath the blanket take a peep .
"Woah! You are here!?"
"Of course I am here! This is my house!" he shouted .
The person who now fully awake stayed silent .
Kier pointed out the bathroom . The person realizes the crime and quickly flew the stairs and entered the bathroom . Immediately, the clothes that scattered in the sink was gathered and hid inside the cabinet under the wash basin .
Now Kier standing outside the bathroom door and pointing the bed . "Tidy up quickly!"
"O-okay!"
Kier shook his head . He was known as the clean freak of the group . Having 6 siblings and the second eldest, he developed a habit of cleaning everything . His parents have been always busy and his older brother preparing for college taking up Law, and that often left him at home with his five siblings .
To settle his younger brothers and sister, he came up of giving each one a chore . He was like a devil in white clothe afraid of being dirty since then .
Now he is 29 years old and become the Senior Legal Affairs Team of Crow Corporation, he decided to live alone closer to his work .
Unfortunately, he meets his cursed last week . Now a woman is hiding inside his house . Worse, her undergarments just laying around .
"Don't get it wrong . "
"What?"
"I was planning to do the laundry this morning when I will wake up . I did not expect for you to come home last night," the woman explained .
He can't buy it . "So what? Who are you for me to announce if I will come home last night or tonight or whenever?" he sarcastically asked her .
He continues when the woman did not answer . "This is my home . If you can't follow the simple rules I have, then you are free to leave!" Kier pointed the door .
To his surprise, the woman bites his finger . "Ahh!! You! What are you!?"
***
Damn it! What ungracious woman! Kier murmurs inside his head . He keeps staring at his finger where it was bitten .
He right away hid his hand when the elevator opens .
"Good morning, Director Lawrence . "
The three employees from Accounting bows . They quickly get inside and stand behind him .
"Good morning . " He answered plainly .
Even so, the two women cannot hide their giggling at the back . Kier's left brow twitching upward .
Hurry up . He was cheering the lift to climb faster . It took time before the lift arrives on the 72nd floor . He stepped out immediately and walk past the cubicles on that floor .
His secretary has already been waiting for him . "Good morning, Director Lawrence . "
"Good morning . " He entered his office and the secretary follows him and does her ritual once he arrives in the office .
She opens the blinds and adjusts the temperature of the office room . She will place the bottled water near him because he is not only a clean freak but also a health-conscious person . He always watches the food he's eating .
When his secretary left his office, he opens a drawer and looks for a band-aid .
After two hours of reviewing some documents and contracts, his secretary entered the office and informed him that the president wanted to see him .
When he arrives in the President's office, Daichi was already inside . He listens to their conversation . After Daichi left the office, Shun fixes his gaze on him .
He can't tell what the boss been thinking and he won't guess anything either .
"About Senator Lou's incident?" Shun asked him .
He keeps silent for a moment before he answered . "I will fix it . "
"Do I need to ask you first, before you will tell me something I should know?"
This is as a measure of his capability, Kier knew very well . "Not yet . I will handle this quietly . "
Shun stares at him with intense gazes . "Alright . I will fully entrust to you the case of Senator Lou . "
Shun leans his back on his chair and look down at Kier's finger . "What happened to you?"
He was startled and realize Shun asking him about his finger wrapped with a band-aid .
"Ah, I just cut my finger . " he lied . Shun is not easy to make belief . He won't buy it .
"I was fixing my breakfast quickly after I did my laundry . I wasn't paying attention when I cut myself . "
What a lie . After the woman bites him, she just turns around and walks to the kitchen, never apologizing . But she then said that she will do his laundry and other chores to be not a freeloader during her stay .
He was home late of night just to found the woman who taking shelter in his house was cozily occupying his bed, ended him up to sleep in the couch .
It was crazy how he met that woman . How unlucky for his part .
