Chereads / Her Darling CEO / Chapter 54 - Truth 1

Chapter 54 - Truth 1

Knowing how long Liam had looked for someome that can fill his heart like that girl, he could understand why he was behaving this way. Jenner looked down to her wrist and back to Knight's face.

"Adira, stop drinking." Liam said.

"Why should I do that??" Adira shouted while taking another gulp, this time directly from the bottle.

"Adira, you'll get very drunk if you keep drinking this way." Liam said, little annoyance coated his words.

"Uhn???? who are you???, oh baby boy!!!!" Adira screamed. She dropped the bottle and stretched her hands to touch his cheeks.

"I am not drunk, I won't get drunk. Not at all." she said attempting to touch his cheeks.

Seeing her attempt to touch his cheeks, he held her hands, raising her up, he took her into his arms.

"Drop me down..... you!!!!!! pervert." Adira screamed, hitting his chest but he didn't bulge.

"Let's get going." He said taking a quick glance at Carl and Alan.

Looking at her sleeping face, he couldn't guess how she was going to feel if he told her everything.

"Sir, we've got the boy, he is demanding to see his sister." Knight said knowing that Liam has his security device on his ear.

Tapping on it, he shifts Adira's hair from her face.

"I'm coming there." He said.

"Urghh!!" he heard her grunt which stopped him from walking forward.

*****

"I want to see my sister, she isn't feeling well." Theo shouted at the huge man that stood in front of the door.

He had said they had his sister and that he should come and meet her but instead they took him to a well decorated room that he admired so much.

At that the he was assured because aunt Jenner was with them and she spoke to him.

"I need my sister!!!!!!!!!!". He screamed again

"She is coming... stop screaming." the bulky man spoke. Adjusting his glasses, Theo looked at the man solemnly.

"Does he like her??" Theo said while moving towards the window.

"Like who???? does who??" the bulky man asked.

"Your second in command, ermmmm, what was he called?? kni....."

"Knight??? does he like who??" the man asked, he sounded very curious that Theo could hear surprise in his voice.

"Jenner." he pronounced while taking a sit close to the window.

"How would I know??? Am not Knight." The bulky guy replied.

"You should, I can tell you are the next in command after Mr. Knight." Theo said

"I am sure Mr. Knight likes my aunty Jenner but he is so shy about it.... why don't he tell her??" Theo continued talking to the man that stood frozen at the door without taking a step.

Though he had an expression of shock in his face but a smile never left his lips.

"Say something mister.." Theo said.

"Infact I should tell Mr. Knight to tell her." Theo concluded before turning away from the bulky man.

"Ahhh, my head hurts so much!!!" Ashlin exclaimed immediately she woke up.

Reaching out to the side table, she poured herself a glass of water. Before she could completely take a gulp from the glass.

She felt someone stare at her back, turning around she found Carl sleeping soundlessly next to her.

Barely reaching out to touch his face for the first time, he shut his eyes open and ran out.

Everything happened in a less than three seconds that she forgot about her head ache and rushed towards him.

Coming out of the room, she could perceive the smell of burnt food. Rushing toward the kitchen, smoke covered the whole kitchen.

"What happened??" She screamed when the smoke had calmed down a little.

Carl turned towards her with a sad smile.

"I am sorry.... it was a mistake.... I didn't mean for this to happen....." he kept apologizing while Ashlin walked forward towards the mess he made.

"What were you trying to make??" she asked after seeing he was unable to form any other word of apology.

"Hang over soup." He said.

He had struggled so much trying to make it since she had been grunting in her sleep. He left the kitchen to drop the glass of water beside her.

Dropping it, his eyes met with the way her neck was laid on the pillow he knew other than hangout headache, she was going to have neck pain so he moved closer to adjust the pillow.

While trying to adjust it, she turned and hit him causing his hands to be stuck under her head on the pillow.

Looking at her face, he traced his hands on them and now he found himself standing in front of an angry Ashlin.

Though she was happy he tried making the soup for her, she didn't want his care. It always made her heart flutter.

"Leave my house!!!" she screamed.

"Uhn???? me???" he asked.

Not receiving an answer he continued;

"It's all because of you.... I hope you know that, that's one of the reasons why I didn't want you to know I had feelings for you ever since....."
