As they stood outside, several stark black and shining Bentleys slowly ca to a halt in front of the office building. Percy walked up to greet the guests and Blair followed him closely. She had to be ready for her job.
The chauffeurs opened the doors and so blond-haired n clad in drab business suits got out of the cars. Blair recognized a couple of faces, and she was agape in astonishnt. One of those n, a young one, considering the age of everyone else, was smiling at her. He was her friend, Orion. They had t in England. The older man in the lead among the guests was his father, who was a business tycoon. Though they had been out of touch, it was still a pleasant surprise seeing a familiar face.
Blair waved secretly at Orion.
What a coincidence!
Since she had to stay close to Percy to interpret for him, she barely had a chance to catch up with Orion. Orion understood.
Percy showed the guests around the office, and then they proceeded towards the conference room. Before the eting started, there was a short break for everyone to settle down. Blair and Orion talked in a quiet place. "Hey... Orion, are you working with your father in business now?" she asked.
"Yes. My father is getting on in years. He doesn't look it, but he is not in too good a shape this year. As his only son, I think it is my duty to continue his business. To be frank, though, I don't want to beco a businessman."
Blair smiled. "I understand. It's a pity that you can't surf as much as before. I know how much you love it. But hey, you can still do it in your spare ti." Orion was a surfing fiend. When they had been in England, he had spent almost all of his free ti at the beach.
"That's all I can hope to do, huh?" he shrugged helplessly. "What about you? How are things at work? It looks like we're going to see each other more often in the future."
"Yeah, you guys are stuck with !" She smiled, "I'm doing fine, thanks. I'm head of the interpreters now, and well-paid. I like my job."
"That's good to hear. Hey, the eting is about to comnce. Let's go inside. By the way, I'm staying in Y City for so ti. I'm thinking of buying you dinner after work."
Blair patted him on the shoulder with a smile. "This is my hotown. Of course it should be treating you to a dinner. But to be honest, the cooperation between our two companies has just started. I think we'll both be very busy in the next few days. Keep in touch?"
"Sure."
They walked into the eting room together, followed by Filberta and another female employee. Seeing them together, Filberta sneered. 'The guests have just arrived, and there she is
had bought her everything.
Blair drew a tissue and wiped her eyes. Then she started to eat, and the very first bite she took made her certain that it was the best barbeque she had ever had.
There was too much for one person, though. When she was done eating, she was so full that she felt like her stomach was about to burst. And yet, there were still so leftovers, enough to easily fill the stomach of a grown man! "This was too much. I couldn't eat it all," she ssaged Wesley.
She wasn't expecting a reply. But he did respond. "Get so rest. I'll finish what's left when I get ho later."
'Get ho? He is coming ho tonight?'
Blair stood up from the sofa. She tidied the living room and got dressed before sitting back on the couch to wait for him. She wanted to be up and about when he ca back.
However, before she saw Wesley, she fell asleep.
When the man got ho, it was already about half past three in the morning and when he turned on the lights, he saw Blair lying on the couch, deep asleep and undisturbed by the sudden glare.
He dimd the lights and walked over to her. "Blair," he called softly.
But she didn't respond.
He also noticed that there was only a soft blanket covering her. Wesley took off his uniform and cap and hung them on the clothes stand. Then, he scooped her up lightly in his arms, taking care not to wake her up and carried her towards her bedroom.
The familiar softness and fragrance from her body turned him on. His breathing beca heavy.
Muddleheaded, Blair felt like she was moving in her sleep. Feeling slightly uncomfortable, she twisted and turned restlessly. Wesley held his breath, not to disturb her as he looked at her.
Luckily, once she beca comfortable, she was quiet again.
