Luo could not help but giggle when she read the message. Then she realized that she would have to give another convincing alibi to her parents if she would sleep at Noah's place.

  "Oh… I hate lying," she keened before typing a reply to Noah. Just the thought of sleeping with him in his room every day was making butterflies flutter in her stomach.

  Noah's face darkened as he read Luo's reply.

  [Wait for a while, I need a good alibi first to give to my parents. Sleeping with you every day for now won't be possible. The?most I can do is thrice a week so they do not suspect anything wrong…]

  "Is she kidding me? Is she a teenager? Why is she still living with her parents? Can't she get her own house already and shift there?" he snapped with flaring nostrils.

  He could not believe how the woman was playing hard to get, even at that point that she already got something from him.

  Then another beep came from his phone and Noah's face turned red in embarrassment as he read it.

  [Don't worry… I know you're missing me too much already. I will make sure to SLEEP with you thrice a week without fail and if you're lucky and insist you may have a one day bonus during the weekend.] How about filling enough sleepwears for me in one closet of yours? Your clothes are too big for me. Don't forget to buy me some underwear as well. I will be very busy these days since Liam is not around so no time for me to shop.]

  Another beep… And the next message was her vital statistics…


  "What the heck!!!" Noah barked as he felt his blood pumping up in embarrassment.

  "What a shameless woman! Buy her undies and sleep wears? Is she for real?!"

  **

  Hours passed, and Noah called out to his secretary.

  "Sir?" Dina asked.

  "Can you buy me…" he said, hanging the words…


  "Sir?" Dina asked, waiting for his further instructions.

  Noah heaved one long frustrated sign before saying, "Nevermind. Go back to your post."

  He grabbed his mobile phone to call Craig, but then he again halted.

  "Darn!" he retorted. How could he even consider doing those things that Luo asked?! He was not used to asking his secretary to buy such things for him, so he hesitated. Craig could do it, but that bastard would definitely tease him nonstop.

  He irritatingly called his driver and said, "Prepare the car I will leave the office now."

  Inside the car, Noah was feeling very uneasy thinking about what he was going to do next. He could not decide whether to buy what Luo asked.

  "Why would I?" he mumbled with a twitched face.

  "Sir?" the driver asked, thinking he was saying something.

  Noah washed his face with his palm before he instructed, "Stop at that boutique near my place."

  "Noted Sir…" the driver replied.

  Noah soon entered the boutique. The manager who knew him quickly assisted him.

  "What is it that you're looking for Sir,"

  Noah cleared her throat and said, "Get me a few sleep wears."

  The manager nodded with a smile and was about to walk at the men's section as Noah added, "For female please."

  "Sir, can I get the size? Is that for Miss Brione?" The manager asked because she knew Brione's size.

  Noah cleared his throat and whispered, "Yeah, for her. Hmm, but can you give me a little larger size than hers? She wants something loose. Bigger than her usual size."

  Brione was shorter and leaner compared to Luo, who was tall and slim.

  The manager looked at him confused so Noah smiled and said, "I think she lost a bit of weight too so can you get me underwear with sizes."

  Noah cursed inwardly because he saw that meaningful smile from the manager before she left.

  "Am I crazy?" He whispered as he sat on the couch and waited for the manager to prepare everything. He wanted to ignore Luo's message, but something pulled him to still buy it. He himself no longer knew what was happening to him.

  And why was he feeling weird? It was as if he was anticipating buying those so he could put it also in his closet as she said.

  Luo on the other hand was in deep thought while a case file was on her hand. It was not the case that was occupying her thoughts, but it was whether she should go sleep at Noah's place or not.

  "Hmm, but I miss him already… Maybe I should surprise him tonight and barge inside his home?" She breathed.

  She quickly grabbed her mobile phone to send another message at Noah.

  [Tell me the passcode of your gate and door. I'm not sure which days I will be available so I can enter your place?directly or I will send you my details of my car shortly and plate number… Have it in automatic enter authorization mode to your gate.]

  Noah was already back in the car when he received another instruction from Luo.

  He clenched his jaw while he typed a reply with a crumpled face.

  [Call me before you go!!!]

  Luo pouted her lips, reading that simple text. The exclamation point made her grin every time she would read his reply.

  [No way! I'm busy and would sometimes just drive there after I am off work, so give my car authorization or I would rather just drive home. It's not in my character to call just to inform that I'm arriving…]

  There was no reply, so Luo thought Noah did not agree.

  But after a few more minutes… She received the numbers and as usual with an exclamation point as well.

  "I guess he likes me…" Luo squealed in the four corners of her office. Good thing that every room in the Sy firm was soundproof! Then she wondered if Noah also bought the things she asked him to.

  Excitement ran throughout her body as she started to focus on the case files so she could leave as early as possible and SLEEP with Mr. Noah Yu, the man who made her fall in love for the first time in her life……
