Chapter 5 Cohabitation


    They opened the door of the room and got inside the room. Charles called room service to order some


    food, while Rachel went to the bathroom to take a shower. When Rachel came out of the bathroom, the


    hotel waiter was taking the food from the serving trolley and putting it on the table.


    "It smells so good, " She smilingly said, "Shall we open a bottle of wine?"


    "Okay." Charles was a self-controlled man. He seldom drank when he had to drive but today he agreed


    to drink some wine. Rachel was so excited about this.


    "Have a sip." Rachel poured Charles a ss of wine and purposely dimmed the light of the room. The


    candlelight on the table threw light on her face. A bathrobe was loosely tied around her body, and the


    private parts of her body were shown indistinctly.


    She believed that Charles could give in to such a temptation and be lured to her.


    "How does it taste?" Rachel was barefoot and slightly rubbed Charles''s leg with her own foot. Her smile


    was alluring.


    "It tastes good." Rachel was frustrated with Charles''s solemn answer.


    But she didn''t get discouraged and sat on the table in front of Charles, with a ss of wine in her hand.


    Charles understood her intention now.


    He slightly frowned.


    "Charles, we have been together... for about two years, right?" asked Rachel softly, while swirling the


    wine around in her ss.


    "Hmm, " replied Charles tly. Somehow, the thought of Autumn struck him.


    Last night, Autumn appeared in front of Charles just like Rachel did today. She had a delicate and white


    face, and Charles was way more attracted to Autumn than to Rachel who was fascinating and flirty.


    "In fact..." Rachel paused and slightly dropped her eyes. The light fell on her long eyshes and the


    shadow fell all across her face.


    She majored in acting, so she certainly knew how she looked the most attractive and how to captivate


    a man by her beauty. To sessfully seduce Charles, she did everything possible.


    "Charles, I''m willing to..." She lowered her head and blushed. It was pretty evident what she meant.


    After seeing that Charles wasn''t responding to her, Rachel daringly put down her wine ss and sat on


    Charles''sp, nestling in his arms. She drew circles on his chest with her finger, but Charles got hold of


    her finger.


    "Rachel, don''t..." He frowned.


    He even thought if Autumn stayed with him in the hotel, she probably wouldn''t ever do such a bold


    thing.

    "Charles, I can." Rachel was in no mood to give up. It was not easy to get this chance, so she wouldn''t


    give up so easily. "Charles, you''ve been restraining your sexual desire all these years just for me. I


    really appreciate that. But I''m now willing to make love to the man I love. I''m really willing to do that."


    "No." Charles added, "I haven''t done such a thing with you before. And since I''m married now, I can''t


    do that. Rachel, I won''t keep you waiting so long, believe me."


    Although he was in the hotel room now, he wanted to rush to the Cloud Advertising Company.


    "Charles!" Rachel felt a bit upset.


    She had never been this disappointed. Charles always patiently reasoned with her before, but today he


    didn''t.


    He had certainly changed.


    Rachel felt depressed as she realised this.


    "Rachel, have a good rest today. I will see you tomorrow, " said Charles tly.


    "No. I won''t let you go." Rachel wrapped her arms around Charles from behind. Charles smelled her


    pleasant fragrance, but he didn''t feel the desire for her anymore.


    Rachel tightly hugged him. She had a strong feeling that she was going to lose him now.


    She was unwilling to give up on him.


    So she began to passionately kiss him. In the beginning, Charles didn''t react to her behaviour, butter


    he actively kissed her back, He even dominated the kiss now.


    They kissed by the table and then moved to the sofa while kissing. The bath robe dropped from


    Rachel''s body. Rachel enjoyed Charles''s enthusiasm and felt relieved.


    She couldn''t wait to stretch out her hands and unbutton Charles''s shirt. When she was about to have


    sex with him, Charles stopped.


    "What... What''s wrong?" Rachel''s lips were a bit swollen and her eyes were filled with tears. Possibly,


    any other man would be attracted to this delicate and charming woman.


    "Nothing." Charles kissed Rachel on the forehead and quickly stood up. He buttoned up his shirt which


    was unbuttoned by Rachel earlier and adjusted his clothes. He then told Rachel, "It''s gettingte. You


    should go to bed early. I also have to go back home."


    "Charles? Charles!" No matter how hard Rachel called him, Charles just ignored her and even picked


    up his pace.


    Rachel lost all hope. She made every possible effort to stay with him. She even put her self respect


    and reputation at stake. But Charles just heartlessly left her. He had hurt her pride, making her feel


    helpless and heartbroken.


    "Charles Lu..." She called his name in her head, looking enraged.


    She couldn''t tolerate what Charles did to her today. She decided to never let him live peacefully.


    The news about the love affair between Rachel, the famous female star, and Charles, the Shining


    Company''s CEO, would spread across the Y City in no time.


    With this news doing rounds, his wife would be disappointed and leave her unfaithful husband.


    Rachel always listened to Charles before. But now he was married to another woman.


    This time, she would not be so silly as before.


    Rachel put on the bathrobe and called someone with an expressionless face. "Leo, have you taken any


    photos of Charles and me? ... Okay, please help me do this thing. I will buy you dinner after this is


    done."


    Rachel hung up the phone and looked out the window. The cold night stirred up her feelings. She felt


    bitterly disappointed and heartbroken.


    She thought it was time to have an encounter with that ''Yvonne Gu'' and let her understand that she


    only ''lent'' her the identity of Charles''s wife temporarily.


    Autumn was busy at work in her office. She didn''te back home until midnight. Charles waited for


    her in his study and he felt relieved as he heard Autumn''s footsteps.


    After she came back home, Autumn set her rm 20 minutes early so that she had enough time to


    take the subway tomorrow morning. But to her surprise, when she went down to the ground floor in the


    morning, Charles also woke up.


    "Good morning." They would always see each other as they lived in the same house. Autumn greeted


    Charles and sat at the table to have breakfast.


    Charles tly looked at Autumn. The light of her bedroom was turned off at four o''clock in the morning,


    but she got up so early and still looked energetic. He wondered whether her job really made her so


    happy.


    "You''re very busy with your work, right?" It was the first time that Charles had shown concern on the


    daily life of his "roommate".


    Autumn was a bit stunned by his words and slightly nodded. "Yeah. I had taken a few days off and now


    I have a pile of work to do. What''s more, my boss epted a really important case. So I have to work


    overtime these days."


    When she recalled that it was Shining Company''s case, Autumn cautiously asked, "Mr. Lu, if your


    Since she had to submit the proposal today, she stayed up all night working toplete her proposal.


    She only slept for about two hoursst night.
