Chapter 5 ;

  • Eloise was shocked about what Hector talked about.
  • Sharing a bed with him? He was so confident he was welcomed by her.
  • Was this really Hector Rogers? It was said he was a high-class man as well as an arrogant one.
  • But now the rumor was not all true. When she was thinking about it, Hector realized it was not suitable for him to say it.
  • Pretending to have a cough to make himself not so embarrassed, he turned to be arrogant and said, "Ms. Eloise, Solomon did not get a shower. Could you help him? Thank you."
  • Eloise stopped thinking and answered, "Sure. Soon, she found he changed the topic, which made her feel some of disappointed.
  • However, she would not be so silly to talk about it again and turned around to look for some wear for Solomon.
  • Eloise's apartment was small but she prepared everything for daily use. She even kept many kids' clothes fully in a cabinet which she bought for her losing baby in the recent five years.
  • Even knowing she would not meet her kid for the whole life, she still bought one or twice dresses every quarter in a year.
  • Solomon was of the same age with her child It was not difficult for Eloise to choose; she just got a one-piece sleepwear designed like little cow on the top of cabinet.
  • It was so cute.
  • As to Hector, she did not have any wear at home for him to stay overnight. Hector did not care about it.
  • After Twenty minutes to help Solomon have a shower, Eloise carried him in her arms out of the bathroom. Solomon was in the sleepwear prepared by Eloise; it greatly fitted him just like Eloise bought for him specially. Hector saw his sleepwear and would like to ask her some questions, but finally did not ask anything.
  • Eloise did not explain to him; she refused to talk with a man she just knew less one day about her past experience. Even knowing him well, she would not like to talk about it.
  • Eloise carried Solomon to the bedroom and got out with a clean blanket for Hector, "My sofa is too small for you to sleep well" "It's ok. Thanks." Hector got the blanket and accidentally touched Eloise' hand.
  • Just the moment, Eloise was stunned and felt some of embarrassed to get her hand back Soon.
  • But Hector kept thinking about the feeling and was still absentminded. At the beginning, he tried not to be too sincere with Eloise. But at the moment, he had changed some of his mind. He had not felt in the way before.
  • It was amazing. Eloise did not know what Hector was thinking and got back to the bedroom to take her sleepwear for a shower.
  • It was really inconvenient for her to have a man at home. Luckily, Eloise did not get used to be in some sexy sleepwear at home. When she came from the bathroom, Hector was lying on the bed with closing eyes and a stable breath. He seemed to fall asleep.
  • Eloise felt relaxed and turned off the light quietly to get to her bedroom. She should not know that Hector who was behind her opened his eyes.
  • He was watching her in the dark night. Eloise was slim in a conservative one-piece sleepwear with a cartoon bear on it. It was childlike as well as too young.
  • Even seeing this, Hector still have some chemistry for her. He had always controlled himself very well, but now he started to be attracted by Eloise.
  • …..
  • In the morning of the next day, Hector was not here anymore and left a paper slip on the table saying, "I am sorry to leave so hurry. Please kindly take care of Solomon and I will pick him up tonight. I will also compensate your loss for interrupting your job."
  • Eloise read it and wondered why a father dared to leave his kid with a not-familiar woman. He was not afraid she would do something mean to Solomon.
  • Then Eloise had to get her mobile phone to ask for leave from her manager. She did not expect to get her leave approved CEO office of Rogers Group.
  • "At 9:00am, a meeting with the management; 1. 00am, a meeting with shareholders; at 2. 00am, a conference call with overseas branches; 2:00pm, an appointment with Mr. Patel from Asian Banks; 4:00pm, golf time with Mr. Saunders from Vivendi Universal; 7:00pm, please attend the birthday party of Patriarch Davies."
  • Hector was concentrating on the documents in hands, not looking up at all. He said, "I will host the three meetings in the morning. But please ask Rupert to attend these in the afternoon."
  • When Thomas was answering him, someone was shouting, "Too many jobs for me! I just come back to office! Hey, Hector, give me more time! I am so tired after a business trip!"
  • It was Rupert Rogers, the younger brother of Hector, only junior to Hector in the Rogers Group. Rupert usually appeared to be misbehaved, but was much capable for doing business, not worse than Hector.
  • Besides, he was such a handsome guy to represent Rogers Group to some public events, with many ladies being obsessed.
  • He was the same welcomed as Hector. Now Rupert was stepping into the CEO office, but stopped by what Hector said; now he tried to leave here as soon as possible.
  • Hector looked straight at him and ordered him, "Come in!" Poor Rupert could not refuse him and came slowly.
  • Thomas was friendly to him to say, "Good morning, Master Rupert."
  • Rupert did not answer him, just waving his hand to Thomas and passing some documents to Hector.
  • He planned to send Hector these documents, but not expected to be allocated so many jobs that he tried to avoid, "Hector, I have a date tonight. I am not available for your jobs."
  • Hector said, "Your girlfriend will not leave you for you missing one date today"
  • Rupert tried to talk about something reasonable, "No! This time I used a lot of ways to have her be my girlfriend!"
  • Hector sneered, "You just date with her. Anything else? If you really marry someone, I think daddy and mommy will be much gladder."
  • Rupert would not like to hear it and said, "Hector, stop talking about such a scaring topic. I will not marry anyone. I hate to devote all my life to marriage. See daddy, He was totally controlled by mommy. It is so scaring."
  • "But you are at the age of marriage. Days ago, mommy showed me lots of photos of some ladies from prestigious families. I think many of them are pretty good and can arrange you a date with one of them."
  • Hector had a look at Rupert and said. Rupert had to say, "No, I am only twenty-seven years old, two years younger than you. You have not got married. Why forced me?"
  • Hector was silent for a while and answered, "It might be soon for me."
