Chapter 5

The next day, Zoe was awakened by the pain.

She felt sore all over her body, as if she had been run over by a truck.

After tremendous effort, she made it to sit up on the bed, and she felt extremely thirsty.

Seeing a cup of water on the table next to the bed, she picked it up and just gulped it down without thinking much.

The lukewarm water indeed made her feel better. And the fuzzy memory of last night gradually crept back into her mind.

She rubbed her eyebrows. She could only vaguely remember that she got into a car with a man and did something unusual with him after being provoked by the calls from Steven and Annie…

Her heart tightened, and she fiercely lifted the quilt.

Although she was already more or less prepared for it, she felt so shocked when she saw the dense purple love bites all over her body.

“Ahhh! What the hell is it,” she almost yelled out.

She rubbed her hair in frustration, and at this moment, a “click” suddenly sounded…

She jolted and hurriedly pulled the quilt to cover her body.

“Who is it!”

The door of the bedroom was open from the outside, and a slender man walked in with steady steps.

Her pupils dilated due to the shock.

Though she only had a vague memory of the last night, she could more or less remember the man she had slept with.

The man was dressed in a black suit today, with a well-ironed white shirt inside. The shirt was buttoned up to the top meticulously. The chiseled face above it was extraordinarily handsome with his sunken eyes, well-arched eyebrows, and pointy nose. An aura of prohibitive nobility could be felt just from every part of him.

In his hand was a set of ladies’ clothes, and there was not much expression on his face when he saw she was awake.

He put the clothes on the bed and said softly, “Get changed and come downstairs for breakfast.”

Zoe called out to him when he was about to leave.

With his back to her, his lips curled up slightly, and his voice was still indifferent and cold.

“We can talk downstairs.”

With that, he just walked out of the room and closed the door after him.

Zoe’s head was all blank, and after a while, she fell onto the bed all of a sudden. She grabbed the pillow to cover her head and yelled silently.

Though her memory was a little vague, she was not entirely unconscious. She did know what she had done to the man after putting together her fragmented memories.

“AHHHHH! How embarrassing!”

No matter how regretful she was, she could not undo what she had done. Thus, after a while, she finally got up from the bed and dejectedly walked into the bathroom with the clothes.

During the shower, seeing the dense and thick bruises all over her body, she could not help but feel shameful blush again.

Anyway, she managed to finish everything, got changed and went downstairs, where she saw the man sitting on a couch in the lounge.

The lounge was quite big. Just like the room upstairs, its modern and minimalist style could be seen in the black and white colors. It was luxurious yet restrained. The French window to the side was wide open, and she felt a bit chilly when a breeze blew past her.

Maybe it was the footsteps. He looked back, and surprise could be seen in his eyes when he saw the woman standing on the stair.

Zoe was wearing the black shirt and keen-length skirt he had brought to her. The top button of the shirt was left open, and a black tie was wrapped around her neck. The simplicity of the dress showed the sexiness of her slender and well-proportioned body.

His eyes widened, and he stood up and walked to the dining hall.

She could only follow him, and when she finally caught up to him, they had already got to the dining hall.

“Hey, about last night… I’m sorry. I was drunk.”

Henry pulled the chair for her before he sat at the other end of the table himself. His voice was soft. “It’s alright.”

After a while, he added, “It’s what I should do anyway.”

“Huh?”

Zoe did not understand what he meant, and at this moment, a man walked in from the outside.

He walked right up to Henry and respectfully handed over two red pamphlets to him. “Mr. Chairman. We have got everything ready.”

Henry said nothing but gave an “Mmh” sound. He reached over, took the little pamphlets from the man, flipped them open, and handed one of them to Zoe.

“Take a look.”

Zoe was stunned, and subconsciously she found it familiar. “Would it be…”

Her heart tightened, and she hurriedly reached over to take it from him. When she saw her photo and her name on it, her eyes nearly popped out of her head.

“What… What is it?”

Henry took a glance at her indifferently.

Unlike Zoe, who was almost freaked out, he was much calmer. He put aside the marriage certificate in his hand and said in a grim tone, “Have you forgotten what you signed?”

Staring at him with her rounded eyes, she said, “What did I sign?”

“Huh.” As if he had long anticipated her reaction, he tapped on the table, and the man next to him handed him another document immediately.

Zoe took it from him, and on the document, two large words were clearly written: Marriage Application.
