《Purchased Wife》Chapter 20: Simple
Advertisement
She woke up rubbing her eyes, trying to rub the sleep away. Looking around, she was still in the office. His office. Her eyes widened as she thought to herself:
Liam will kill for sleeping in his office. Did he leave and went home?
She sat from the couch, thinking she was alone. But she was not. He was sitting on the floor, his back resting against the window wall, working on his laptop.
He was wearing glasses which she has never seen him wear.
He said without looking at her, typing away on his MacBook, "Hope you slept well." He stopped and looked up at her. she asked: "What time is it?" He replied"7 pm."
She sat straight and asked, "Why didn't you wake me?" He looked back at his laptop and said"You were sleeping. I thought that it'll be better for you to rest. Considering what happened yesterday."
She looked at him. His tie off. Starting two buttons of the shirt were unbuttoned, exposing his tan muscular collarbones. The sleeves of his shirt rolled up to his elbows, showing off his veins and his bird tattoo.
His long thin slender fingers working on the keyboards. His thick black brows furrowed as he worked. His blue eyes were serious underneath those glasses. Nothing made him more attractive.
Without looking he asked"Hungry?" She nodded.
"Good. I already ordered."
A couple of minutes later, Liam went down to get the delivery and came back up. She looked at the food and brightly smiled to herself.
He asked, "Why are you smiling?" She looked at him and her smile left her face. She gulped but he kept looking at her for an answer. She replied," I love burgers."Biting her bottom lip, nervous to answer.

She sat on the floor eating quietly, with her burger in her hand. He sat opposite her. In front of her. Her heart racing as to why was he sitting near her.
Out of the blue, he asked: "Tell me a little about yourself." Not something she expected him to ever ask her. She stammered"L-Like What?" He shrugged and said"Anything" She remained in silence. He again asked, "What's your favorite color?"
"B-blue. I like blue."
After that, a comfortable silence falls between them as they devour their delicious burger.

Coeus?
Author's Comment: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it, or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur) ——————————————————————————————— Reading Order of the Multiverse-Books ——————————————————————————————— About a boy who isn’t quite normal and doesn’t see himself as a human being, but is taught differently as he finds out about the world's secrets. Though not everyone is happy about his existence. This is inteded to evolve into a full blown space opera with elements of magic thrown into it. ——————————————————————————————— The OneShot goes FullStory. Trying to go a little more SciFi and alternate reality this time. I am not entirely sure how this fiction will turn out. And I am not sure on the tags either. They may change. Bear with it. As always, how chapters turn out is up to my mood.

To make matters worse, more refugees started to come in, falling through portals, disturbing the balance. With them they brought tales of war and chaos, the horrors of those who were left behind, and the ravenous hunger for blood of the Tyrant they thought they left behind. Unable to leave the new settlers to their fate, Patrick and his team take on the roles that are pushed onto them, some with enthusiasm, some with reluctance, all striving to build a better world than the one they left behind. They should have realized that portals that open once, can be opened again, and that what they thought they left behind, might one day catch up.
