Chapter 244
Bary was on a business trip, and Moira breathed a sigh of relief.
She''d been avoiding him for days and felt a bit awkward about it. Now that Bary was away, she could finally stop dodging him.
But Moira''s relief didn''tst long. On the fourth day of Bary''s trip, she found herself alone in the vast mansion at night, feeling strangely ufortable.
She couldn''t even focus on her usual bedtime games, just staring at her phone.
It wasn''t until she received a message from Juliet that Moira snapped out of it.
Juliet: [Hey, darling, up for a weekend hangout?]
Moira was stunned and realized it was already Friday!
Time flew, but why hadn''t Bary returned yet?
As she pondered this, her fingers seemed to act on their own, typing out a response to Juliet in the next instant.
Juliet: [Are you seriously thinking about Bary right now?]
Juliet: [Well, I guess it''s only natural! But I didn''t expect you to be this fixated, and telling me about it! Isn''t that a bit too much, Moira?]
Moira blushed at the message she had sent, feeling extremely embarrassed. [Maybe... could you give me a chance to exin?]
Juliet responded with a smug emoji before replying. [Tomorrow, you can exin in person. I''ve given you the opportunity, so don''t squander it! Tomorrow morning at twelve, we''re hitting up the barbecue joint on the fifth floor of the nearby mall!]
Moira felt a bit awkward. [Okay!]
Juliet: [Alright, I won''t disturb you while you''re thinking about Bary. I''ll go y games with some guys then.]
Since when did Juliet get so open?This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Of course, Moira couldn''t say that, afraid of Juliet''s potentialeback. After all, she had just mentioned thinking about Bary. So, she didn''t reply!
After chatting with Juliet for a bit, Moira felt too embarrassed to continue daydreaming about Bary. She hurriedly packed up and went to take a shower.
Whether it was because of her thoughts during the day or not, on the fourth night of Bary''s business trip, Moira dreamt about him directly. In the dream, she shamelessly stared at Bary.
Bary looked at her with a smirk, asking if she missed him, to which she denied.
Bary clearly didn''t believe her,
raised an eyebrow, and asked,
"Really?" The next moment, she
didn''t even know what happened, she and Bary were kissing.
Moira opened her eyes, unconsciously licking her lips.
The dryness of her lips reminded her that it was just a dream.
She sat up on her bed and realized her face was burning at the memory of her dream.
Before, her dreams mostly consisted of cuddling and kissing, but this time, she dreamt of them being naked.
Moira thought about herself and Bary in the dream and immediately pinched herself.
''Stop thinking! That''s not something you should be thinking about!'' she warned herself.
At that moment, her phone rm went off.
Moira reluctantly collected her thoughts, turned off the rm, and headed straight to the bathroom to ssh some cold water on her face. The icy water woke her up quite a bit.
She looked at herself in the mirror.
Her face was still flushed.
Moira washed her face again and felt a bit better, before going downstairs to have breakfast.
Rose had already prepared
breakfast Moira remembered her
lunch
h date with Juliet. "Ms. Graham,
you can head backter. I won''t be eating lunch or dinner at home."
Given an unexpected day off, Rose naturally felt delighted. "Really? Should I make some soup for you to have when youe back tonight?"
Moira smiled and waved her hand. "No need, I don''t want to gain weight from eating at night!"
"Alright, then I''ll clean up the kitchen and head out."
"Yeah, thanks!"
Moira nodded and picked up her phone intending to message Juliet, but identally sent it to Bary instead. She quickly retracted the message.
''It''s early. Bary probably hasn''t seen it yet,'' she thought.
As if on cue, the next moment, Moira received a message from Bary. [What''s up?]
