Chapter 537: Chapter 281: She Takes the Initiative to Kiss Him (1 of 2)

After opening her phone and glancing at the time, Rebecca Quentin gasped.

Oh my, it was already one in the afternoon...

She patted her forehead and lamented, "Damn it, why didn’t the alarm go off?" She usually set an alarm to avoid being late for work, and even if the phone was off, the alarm would still ring!

Throwing her phone into her bag, Rebecca hurriedly grabbed the clothes from under the bed.

This afternoon, Manager Smith had two meetings for which he needed her to organize materials. She also needed to report yesterday’s discussion with Director Green to Manager Smith...

So many things were waiting for her, yet she had drowsily slept through the morning.

Rebecca was about to fasten her bra clasp when, unexpectedly, a strong arm wrapped around her.

"Ah..."

Without warning, she was pulled back into bed, and Rebecca urgently patted the person, "Let go of me."

The person held Rebecca against himself, slowly opened his enchanting sleepy eyes, and huskily said, "Awake?"

Rebecca lay on top of him, angrily saying, "Did you turn off my phone?"

Howard Geoffrey nodded knowingly, "Yes."

"Hey, I still need to go to work today, you are really going too far!" she said, then forcefully kicked the lower part of his body.

The person groaned, flipped Rebecca over, and pinned her beneath him.

His face turned stoic, he stared at her, his handsome face slightly contorted after enduring, "Damn it, you don’t know you shouldn’t touch there?"

Seeing his twisted expression, Rebecca realized she might have kicked too hard earlier and said guiltily, "Then why did you turn off my phone and silence my alarm?"

With his pain slightly relieved, Howard furrowed his brows in displeasure, "You were still planning to go to work today?"

"Of course I am going to work, I have so much to do..."

"You’re not allowed to go today."

"What’s wrong with you, I already missed work this morning, the manager must be calling around for me."

"No one’s going to fire you, what’s there to be scared of?"

"You’re the boss, I’m not. I can’t just skip work whenever I want."

"But I instructed the service staff to open the door tomorrow morning."

Rebecca widened her eyes incredulously, "You... you’re terrible!"

Looking at Rebecca’s puffed-up face, Howard couldn’t help but laugh, his heart swelling with affection. He leaned down to kiss her protruding little mouth, "Be good... stay in the hotel with me."

After finally having time and opportunity for intimacy with her at the hotel, he wasn’t going to let it pass.

Rebecca pushed against Howard’s descending chest, "I told you, I need to go to the office!!"

Howard coaxed gently, "How much did you make this month? I’ll pay you ten times that."

"Hey, what do you take me for? I don’t want your money!"

Howard lightly chuckled at his own thoughtlessness after speaking, "I just want to keep you, nothing more."

Unbeknownst to Rebecca, her cheeks had flushed red again. She pushed him off, "Get off, come on, get off!"

Howard deeply studied Rebecca’s charming face, a layer of desire slowly spreading across his eyes, "Becca..."

He called her name, lowering his head into her neck.

Feeling something amiss from her voice, Rebecca urged the head nestled in her neck, "Hey, stop that..."

At this moment, Rebecca’s phone started ringing.

Feeling like a lifeline had arrived, Rebecca hurriedly patted the person on top of her, "Hey, I’ve got a call..."

Nuzzled in her neck, softly kissing, Howard mumbled, "Ignore it."

"Can’t, if I keep ignoring calls, people will worry about me..."

"Call them back later."

"But the call right now is from my sister." Rebecca had set different ringtones for family, friends, and colleagues.

Howard suddenly rolled off Rebecca, gritting his teeth, "Damn it, Christine Quinn better have a damn good reason!!"

Rebecca swiftly reached for her bag, took out the phone that had been ringing for quite a while, and quickly pressed the answer button, "Sis..."

"Becca, why hasn’t anyone been answering your phone?"

"Uh, I..."

Christine Quinn seemed quite anxious and didn’t have time to press Rebecca for the reason she wasn’t answering the phone, quickly continuing, "Aunt Clare is in trouble."

"What?" Rebecca’s body shook, "Sis, make it clear."

Howard glanced over due to Rebecca’s reaction.

After listening to Christine’s explanation, Rebecca quickly said, "Okay, I’ll head to M City right away..."

After finishing the call, Rebecca stayed frozen on her bedside, her face already pale.

Howard pulled Rebecca into his arms, asking, "What happened?"

Rebecca spoke with a dejected tone, "Sis told me Aunt Clare is now at XX Hospital in M City, needing a kidney transplant, the specifics will have to wait until I get to the hospital."

M City is Aunt Clare’s hometown.

Howard asked, "How did your sister find out?"

"The hospital originally called me, but my phone wasn’t reachable, so they called my sister." Saying this, Rebecca hit Howard, "It’s all your fault!"

"Is it serious?"

Rebecca pushed away the embracing Howard and started putting on her clothes from the bed, "The doctor told my sister that Aunt Clare needs a transplant and needs family by her side. I have to hurry to M City."

Finished dressing the top, Rebecca changed her lower garments under the blanket, then got out of bed.

Howard, leaning on the headboard, pulled Rebecca, who was rushing to the bathroom, back, "No need to rush, I’ll have someone check it out."

Rebecca slapped Howard’s hand away, "I don’t have time to wait for you to investigate, the doctor said Aunt Clare doesn’t have any family with her, I’m very worried about her."

Helpless, Howard let Rebecca go, watching her enter the bathroom.

When Rebecca came out groomed, she saw Howard already dressed, standing by the window, making a phone call.

Rebecca approached, hearing him discuss Aunt Clare’s matter over the phone.

Once Howard ended the call, Rebecca spoke up, "Have the service staff open the door for me, I’m going down to book a flight."

Howard put away his phone and turned around, "No need to book a flight."

"Huh?"

Before Rebecca could understand Howard’s intentions, she saw him enter the bathroom.

While waiting for Howard to come out, Rebecca had called Manager Smith on her phone.
