CHAPTER 45

Specks of sunlight snuck their way into the room you were resting in and caused your body to awaken, your eyes slowly opening as you regained your consciousness.

It took time for you to get rid of the blurriness in your eyes but once you had done so, you noticed you were in an unfamiliar room.

Your feet touched the ground and you stood up as you made your way to the door. As soon as you opened it, the smell of food being cooked had your senses waking up and your feet automatically took you to the source.

What you came across had you letting out a startled sound as you covered your eyes.

"What the hell, Samuel! Put something on!" You complained.

Samuel simply wore a gown, not bothering to wear anything underneath and he scoffed over your reaction, focusing back on the breakfast he was making for the two of you.

"You should be thankful I actually covered up because I usually walk around naked."

"I did not need to know that."

"The blush on your face is telling me otherwise. Tell me, [F/N]...are you imagining it?"

"Shut up." You grumbled, moving your hand and keeping your eyes on the plate of food instead of him.

You sat down on the chair and Samuel pushed the plate of food towards you which you were thankful for as you took a bite, savouring the taste.

"How long have I been out for?" You asked, taking a bite of your toast and munching on it.

"Just the night. You surprisingly don't have any injuries on you compared to me." He answered as he ate his own breakfast.

You stared at him in startlement while he sent back a gaze of amusement.

"What I meant was, I checked for injuries on your face and hands only. You really have a filthy mind. Did you think I would undress you to check for anything else? Is that what you wanted?"

You threw your other piece of toast at him which he caught with ease and took a bite out of.

"Thanks."

You let out a defeated sigh and finished your breakfast, getting up with your plate and taking it to the sink.

"Yes, sir?"

You glanced back to see Samuel had picked up his phone and was currently speaking with someone.

"Is it Eugene?" You asked as you approached him.

He nodded and handed you his phone which you placed by your ear.

"Eugene." You called.

"It's nice to hear your voice again. How are you?" He asked with his usual light tone.

"I'm fine. Just a little tired." You answered honestly and he hummed as a response.

"I see. You can rest up for the day like Samuel. I'll book you a hotel room and then send someone to pick you up tommorow." He informed but you weren't in the mood to travel elsewhere just to rest.

"Can't I just stay at Samuel's apartment?"

The other end of the line was silent while Samuel was surprised by what you asked.

"Is there anything happening between you two?"

Your eyes widened as you heard what he asked but you went into further shock when Samuel placed his hands on your waist and brought you closer to him. He was smirking at you while you panicked, trying to move away from him.
