Chapter 484


    She could not hold herughter in and chuckled as she said," I did not know I had such an effect on


    you. Now I''m curious to see when your face would be as thick as the Great Wall of China, and when it


    does, it would mean I have taught you well."


    "You cheeky woman. Go get some sleep soon. I''ll leave when you switch off your lights," he said gently.


    "You''re here?" she said as her brows furrowed. She stepped to her window and drew her curtains


    open.


    A man was standing there holding onto his phone. While she couldn''t see his expression, she could


    see him dressed with grace and stood rxedly.


    It was almost midnight soon. Other than Mark, who else could it be?''

    "Why are you here at the apartment sote?"


    "I missed you, and I wanted toe over to see..."


    When she heard so, her heart filled with butterflies, and sweetly, she replied, "It''ste. How are you


    going t o head home?"


    "The car has been sent for repairs, so I will take a cab backter. Don''t stand in front of the window. Go


    and lie down on your bed."


    "You would need an hour to head home from here. It''s already 12 am. It''s hard to get a cab here-"


    A smile was heard in his voice as he cut her midway and said in a low, maic tone, "Then, let me


    stay with you."


    Her heart pounded erratically following his reply. She felt her heart thumping loudly and replied, "Quit


    joking around. It''ste."


    "It''s hard to get a cab here. Do you want me to walk back home?"


    "Can''t you call Harry?" she asked. She had doubts about his words as she thought, ''How could he not


    have a ride when he''s the director of a corporatepany?''


    "Judging by the time, he would be asleep by now.


    Should I call him up for such a trivial private matter, hmm?" he said, ending with a higher pitch in his


    reply. He sounded slightly displeased.


    Summer raised her brows, hearing his words, "Since when were you so empathetic of your


    employees?"


    "I have always been empathetic towards them. I always care for them, don''t you know?" he bantered.


    His voice sounded cocky.


    Summer was speechless. She thought, ''Just how narcissistic can he get?''


    His voice softened and sounded gentle when he spoke up again, "Let mee over to you, just for a


    bit,


    please..."


    She couldn''t help but feel bewitched by his tone and words. Her heart pounded in her chest, and her


    legs felt weak.


    "I''ll make sure to tiptoe and be extra quiet to not wake them up. I''ll just be up for a bit, don''t worry.


    Okay?"


    Feeling defeated, she let out a sigh. "Wait there," she said as she agreed.


    During then, she stepped towards the living room and opened the door. She had almost yelled in shock


    when she had unexpectedly met with his tall figure.


    Mark was one step quicker than her as he pulled her i n his arms and covered her lips with his big


    hands. His warm breath fanned onto her neck when he shushed her.


    She calmed down her breathing and the erratic pounding of her heart as she patted his chest lightly.


    Feeling worried, she reminded him again, "Stay quiet, don''t make a sound."


    "Okay," he replied. He bobbed his throat as he tightened his hold on her. Her body was flushed against


    his warm and leaned chest. Slowly, they quietly moved past the living room and into her room. He softly


    kicked the door shut with his long legs.


    "You can only stay for a while. Then, you''d have to leave. Okay?" she asked.


    "Yes, I know. Get some sleep. I''ll leave after you''ve fallen asleep," he said. He tucked her in bed and


    bent down to peck her plush lips.


    He had looked tired with a slight redness in his dark eyes. She held onto his hand and shifted to make


    space on her bed. She said, "Lie down and get some rest too."
