The sun rose earlier than usual today. Carl drove to work after dropping Kim off. She was still in a dilemma as to whether to stay in school or not.
Although Carl had assured her whatever decision she made, he would accept it. For some reason, she did not want to increase the distance between them. She wanted to be as close to him as possible.
When Carl arrived, Chamberlain was not in the office. So he busied himself while wondering why Chamberlain wanted to watch him at all times when he should be in the finance department. Because of his boss he had to move to and fro a few times a day and he hated moving about.
With his lowered, he typed away on the computer. When he heard familiar footsteps, he raised his head.
Carl smiled mocking when he saw the state of his boss. Though he was dressed in a suit, his hair, neat, his face wasn't as sharp as the rest of his body.
"How was your first night?" Carl smirked.
Whereas Chamberlain glared at him, unfortunately, Carl remained unfazed. May be because he had grown accustomed to teasing each other that he was not as reserved and as polite as when he started working.
Carl wasn't sure when it began but teasing him was a lot more fun than he thought. Now he felt hate was too strong a word, he did not hate Chamberlain, he just disliked him a little.
He was even more pleasant now as compared to before.
"I heard the first night is usually more exciting." Carl continued to tease. He was pretty sure Chamberlain ran away. He just couldn't help it.
He added, "For someone who doesn't like his wife, you sure had fun."
If eyes could kill, Carl would probably be dead. Chamberlain retorted, "It's not bad, as compared to someone who has to stay celibate because his crush is his sister."
Like a punch to cotton, his words had no effect on him. After all things with Kim wasn't as bad as Chamberlain speculated.
Carl grinned, "I heard sister-complex is exciting."
"Seriously, who's feeding you these worthless information. You keep "hearing," what did you see for yourself?"
"I'm speaking from experience, what do you know? A virgin like you wouldn't understand," Carl said, shaking his head.
Chamberlain raised his brow. Then he smiled wryly, it was his fault. If he had not accepted Carl as his friend, he would not be hearing these sought of things.
Carl lowered his head to continue working. Though he appeared serious, he was gloating on the inside.
"For a kid, you sure talk more than you're capable. And do I appear so holy to you?" Chamberlain asked before walking away.
Carl grinded his teeth, 'Kid?'
"Yes, I'm just a child so we can't be friends!" He yelled, startling the secretaries.
"Humph! How childish." Chamberlain muttered.
Paying no heed to the child staring daggers at him, he entered his office.
…
"The wedding will be held in the capital, so both of you will have to come over." A sweet voice floated into Lena's ears.
It was a call from her mother, she had wanted to call but Mrs. Hansberry beat her to it.
"Actually, it's a bit rushed, I don't know what your father is thinking but thankfully, I managed to get a good spot." Mrs. Hansberry sighed.
'Thankfully, it's to a person I know,' she thought.
Lena listened quietly. She had no thoughts concerning the wedding preparations. And since she had been told to avoid the opposite gender because she was already betrothed to Chamberlain, she saw him as her husband, so it did not matter.
As she listened, her mind drifted to the past. For as long as she could remember, her parents her told her would be married to Chamberlain. She tried to get close to him but she was too shy to approach him so she tried as much as possible to be within his view. Where they could both see each other. This was the reason Chamberlain found her weird.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
They did not talk much but he would always catch her watching him. Since he would always see her staring, she seemed more like a stalker than his fianceé.
May be she had grown accustomed to him so all her thoughts were with him as her focus. Though they were eight years apart, she didn't think it was too much. Probably because her mother had told her that an older man was much more stable and responsible.
She also felt secure with him.
"I've also sent the invitation out, are your friends abroad coming too?" Her mother's question brought her back to the present.
Lena hummed in acknowledgement. "Mother…."
She had a lot of questions to ask but she did not know where to start or what to even ask.
Mrs. Hansberry went quiet. She strained her ears to hear whatever her daughter wanted to say.
She had always been close to her daughter so she knew her daughter did not object to Chamberlain and because of that, she was thankful.
If that weren't the case, she would be torn between father and daughter.
A few seconds went by and Lena said nothing. Her mother knew she had many questions, so she comforted her, "It's going to be fine."
Mrs. Hansberry's words were enough to calm the raging storm in her heart. After all, her mother had never lied to her.
