Chapter 252 I Will Take Care Of My Husband


    "Autumn, why are you so worried about Mr. Lu? He is just away on official business." Le sneered and


    went on to add coldly, "Oh, I see. Mr. Lu is such a brilliant man. You mayck of the sense of security to


    be with a man like him. After all, for most women, he is Mr. Perfect. But you don''t have to worry,


    because I will keep himpany to ensure that he would not do things that he shouldn''t do. If you


    know what I mean. So take it easy."


    Autumn did not like Le talking like this. Le was acting like a presumptuous guest squeezing herself


    into the host''s role. Who did she think she was? ''I am worried because you always cast your covetous


    eyes on him.'' Autumn said in her mind.


    "Really? That would be great then. Thank you very much." Indifferently, Autumn said, "Then tell him to


    call meter when he finishes his work."


    Then she hung up the phone. Autumn was getting tired of doing nothing, but soon remembered that


    she still hadn''t had dinner yet. The thought of this made her hungry so she put on her coat and went


    out.


    She should go and explore the area, try out the local culture of Japan since it was her first time toe


    here. Autumn went to an izakaya not far away from her hotel. An izakaya is a type of informal


    Japanese pub, where people prefer for after-work drinking. She chose a table and drank alone,


    enjoying her own casual moment there.


    From time to time, some people woulde to strike a conversation with her. Autumn would just show


    a soft smile, waving at them or shrugging her shoulders to tell them she was unable to understand what


    they were saying. Seeing this, they have no other choices but to walk away.


    The izakaya was near the hotel where she lived. Autumn was not much of a drinker and she knew very


    well her own drinking capacity. She stopped drinking as soon as she felt a little tipsy.


    On the way back to hotel, Autumn made a call to Le again who was in the car with Charles and


    David. Le saw on her phone screen that it was Autumn calling. Instead of picking up, Le hung up


    the phone. She thought that it was not convenient for her to answer the phone at that time. Actually,


    Le hated receiving any phone calls from Autumn.


    Charles had just met an important customer earlier and was forced to drink too much during the


    meeting -- a typical part of meetings with the Japanese. He had fallen asleep in the car when Autumn


    called Le. David heard the phone ring and looked over to Le. "Is that your boyfriend calling you?


    Why don''t you answer the phone?" David asked curiously.


    "Haha, you are being funny. How could it be possible? You must know that I even don''t have a


    boyfriend, " replied Le with a smile. She paused for a while and then continued, "It is just one of my


    friends. She is hard up recently, so she has been pestering me several times to borrow money." Le


    tried to sound convincing.


    "Really?" David didn''t say anything else and looked ahead. Though it was easy for him to identify that


    Le was lying, he did not make a big deal out of it. Instead, David showed an all-knowing smile and


    said, "You are beautiful and you are a confident and capable woman. Surely there are many brilliant


    single men out there ready to make you their queen. But why don''t you have a boyfriend yet?"


    Obviously, David was smart enough to see through Le''s love and adoration for Charles. However,


    David hoped that he could enlighten her not to do anything inappropriate. He actually liked Le''s


    excellent abilities, which was an asset to thepany.


    "Because I am a picky woman. What do you think?" Le replied jokingly. Charles was sound asleep


    beside her. She took this opportunity to steal glimpses and loving gazes at him. If only David wasn''t


    around, she would touch his beautiful face.


    "If you say so." David smiled as he heard this from Le. "But I think maybe you should lower your


    standards a little bit. Look at Mr. Lu whoes from a notable family, smart and very handsome, yet


    he was willing to marry Mrs. Lu who is not, in reality, a very remarkable woman. But as you can see, he


    lives a very happy and sweet life with her, " said David meaningfully.


    "Yes, perhaps you are right, " said Le bitterly and looked away. ''How could Autumn get so lucky and


    marry someone like Charles? She is poor andes from a family of questionable reputation. She isn''t


    even that pretty. When ites to beauty, I am way better in that area. It is really unfair.'' Le let out a


    sigh.


    But as far she was concerned, this game was far from over. She was confident that as long as she


    spent a lot of time with Charles, he would eventually notice her and fall in love with her.


    Le did not mind waiting for him... as long as she kept her focus toward her clearly defined goal.


    "So I think people should not always be overly ambitious. After all a girl as lucky as Mrs. Lu is rare.


    There is only one Mr. Lu in this world and no one else like him is likely toe along. What do you


    think?" David asked, staring directly at her. Though David was not sure if Le would read between the


    lines and see what he''s trying to tell her, he still gave it a try. His loyalty to Charles was remarkable. He


    didn''t want anyone else to make a mess of his life.


    When the car reached the hotel, David got off the car first. He opened the door for Charles and helped


    him out. Le also held him at his other side. As they were about to reach the lobby, David''s phone


    rang. It was from a customer who needed his help. David was trapped in a dilemma.


    The customer asked him to deal with some emergencies. This required David to leave the hotel


    premises. David was now worried about Charles who was stillpletely drunk and unconscious. He


    felt uneasy to let Charles stay at hotel alone.


    "What''s wrong?" Le asked seeing David frown. She was delighted when she learned that David had


    to leave to deal with some customer issues. They had been in Japan for a few days now, but she never


    got the chance to be alone with Charles. Now that Charles was drunk and unconscious, Le would


    seize this perfect chance to get close to him. It meant that she could do anything she wanted to do to


    him.


    It was even possible to have sex with him.


    "Well, what should I do then?" Though Le was rejoicing and was wild with excitement inside, she


    didn''t show it. "Mr. Lu is totally drunk, and he needs you to take care of him. How may I take care of


    him if you have to leave?"


    Neither Le nor David knew how to deal with the situation. When they walked into the hotel lobby,


    Autumn had woken up from a nap as she was tired from the long journey. The couch was at the corner


    of the lobby so they did not see her.


    Le was making David''s predicament worse. He frowned and hesitated. If he asked Le to take care


    of Charles, Charles would be furious when he woke up to see that David had left him to Le.


    David was at a loss for what to do. After a bit of hesitation, David decided to take Le with him. He


    was almost sure that something bad would happen if he left the two of them alone together. "Le, help


    me carry Mr. Lu back to his room and then you have to go with me as well." said David.


    "But Mr. Lu needs someone to take care of him. We can''t just leave him alone." Le''s brows knitted


    into a big frown. "I am really worried about Mr. Lu. He is drunk. He needs to be properly looked after.


    Please let me stay with him."


    "There is no need to worry about anything. Mr. Lu has already fallen asleep. What kind of care does he


    need? He will be fine. Nothing is going to happen to him, I''m sure." David replied calmly, determined to


    keep Le away from Charles that night.


    "David, I think I should stay here to take care of him instead of leaving him alone, " insisted Le. She


    was getting irritated.


    "Don''t worry about him. I will be here to take care of him. Just go and do what you need to do."


    Autumn''s voice came from behind them. She stepped between Le and Charles and then held him.


    Surprised and embarrassed as she was, Le stepped back. She couldn''t look directly at Autumn.


    "Mrs. Lu! Why are you here?" David was astonished but asked Autumn cheerfully. "When did you


    arrive? I am so pleased to see you here! You saved me from a very tight situation." He couldn''t hide his


    relief.


    "I am here to attend a meeting and represent ourpany so I thought of surprising my husband. I


    didn''t expect him to be upied by work all day, so I waited for him here." Autumn replied with a soft


    smile.


    "Autumn, let me help you, " said Le. She reached out and was about to hold Charles. Le was


    dream of having Charles to herself was shattered.


    Autumn gave her a fierce look from head to toe and said, "Thank you. But there is no need for you to


    help me. I will take care of my husband."

    Though Charles was not heavy, he was tall, and it required a lot of strength for her to hold him up. Even


    so, Autumn declined Le''s help and insisted on doing it herself. Autumn was thankful that she came


    here today. She couldn''t imagine what would have happened if she hadn''t.


    "Autumn, what''s wrong? Are you angry at me?" Embarrassed yet indignant, Le faced Autumn. She


    will have to give a good excuse and exin why she didn''t answer the phone when Autumn called


    earlier, but… Try as she could, no ideas wereing to her head. ''What should I do? How could I


    exin it to her?'' Le was in near panic.


    "Be angry with you? Why would I?" Instead of losing her temper, Autumn stayed calm and replied


    coldly. "I always know that Charles is very busy with his work. But now that he is drunk, I can only ask


    you to help him manage the rest of his work here." Autumn''s voice was polite but her irritation at Le


    was evident.
