“Hiss, ”
Rosalind got distracted, and her hand applied more pressure than intended.
While others applied medicine to help wounds heal faster, she managed to make Ulric’s almost-healed wound bleed again!
“You, you’re bleeding! I’ll go get a doctor!”
Rosalind hurried to leave, but Ulric grabbed her wrist and pulled her close with his other arm.
“I’m fine.”
“You’re not fine! Your wound has reopened! I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to!” She was as flustered as a child who had done something wrong.
Ulric smiled helplessly, he could never stay mad at her.
“It’s just a small wound, don’t worry.”
“But I, ”
“You haven’t had dinner yet, have you? I’ll have the hotel send it up.” He interrupted gently, then coughed awkwardly, “You should take a shower first.”
Rosalind suddenly realized their current position. Any slight movement could spark an uncontrollable fire, and she was pressed tightly against his lower body.
It was becoming hard to hide the changes…
“Okay! I’ll… I’ll go shower!”
Without thinking about anything else, she dashed into the bathroom without even grabbing a change of clothes!
Watching Rosalind’s retreating figure, Ulric’s lips curved slightly.
She was indeed very special.
…
Unlike the situation outside, Rosalind in the bathroom wished she could shrink herself and escape through the drain!
This development was way off-script! How did it turn into him showering first and then her?
Shouldn’t they be sitting down to discuss the termination of their agreement and when they would go to the civil affairs bureau to get a divorce?
Ulric and Sirena had gotten so close during this business trip that she couldn’t believe they hadn’t reconciled!
Rosalind paced back and forth in the bathroom until she heard Ulric’s voice from outside.
“Dinner is here.”
“Oh, okay, I’ll be right out.” She clenched her fists, opened the bathroom door, and saw Ulric standing at the entrance, his dark eyes scrutinizing her.
“Didn’t shower?”
“Mr. Walters, I think we should have a serious talk, don’t you?”
Ulric nodded calmly, “Sure, let’s talk while we eat.”
He walked to the dining area and considerately pulled out a chair for her.
Taking a deep breath, Rosalind sat down and said, “About our agreement, I think you should reconsider it!”
Ulric paused slightly while cutting his steak, raising an eyebrow, “Now that the surgery is over, you don’t need me anymore?”
“No, no, that’s not what I meant!”
“Miss Ruell, you should understand that since we signed an agreement, in black and white, you need to honor it.”
If she wanted to discuss this formally, he would oblige.
“Of course, if you’re insistent on terminating the contract, I’ll have my lawyer contact you tomorrow to discuss the penalty for breach of contract.”
Penalty for breach of contract?
Rosalind was stunned. “Aren’t you the one who wants to terminate it?”
Why would she have to pay a penalty? She hadn’t even asked him for compensation yet!
“Did I ever say that?”
“…” No.
But Ulric had already reconciled with Sirena. Did he still plan to keep her as a substitute?!
“So what else do you want to discuss?” Ulric pushed the cut steak in front of her.
He looked up at her.
“… Nothing.”
“Then eat something and get some rest. I’m very tired today.”
