Chapter 52 The Kiss
Chapter 52 The Kiss
Eloise was wearing a white shirt with jeans, and although she was dressed rather simply she still
looked very elegant. Her face was slightly flushed; it seemed that she had been consuming alcohol.
Rupert was looking at Eloise with seemingly complex emotions.
Eloise was looking a little flustered for she couldn’t remember how long it had been since they last met.
And the last time they had met she had proposed that the two of them sever complete contact with
each other.
But now the two of them had encountered one another here and Eloise was wondering whether she
should say something to him or not.
Still feeling rather awkward, the door of the private room in front of them suddenly opened and Rupert
walked out muttering, “Where is my brother? He really has drunk too much, I’m sure he drunk by now,
where did he run off to?”
Rupert raised his eyes when he saw both Hector and Eloise.
“Hector here you are, I’ve been searching for you for so long now. You’ve drunk so much, are you
alright?”
Hector narrowed his eyes.
Eloise was still feeling a little awkward, and now it was impossible not to greet one another so she
stepped forward acting calm as she said, “Mr Rogers, Master Rupert.”
She lowered her head for she didn’t dare to look at the expression on Hector’s face.
Rupert pretended to act surprised, “Miss Thompson, what a coincidence to see you here!”
“Well, our company is having a get together here.”
“Is that so? Has the gathering ended now? Are you getting ready to leave?”
Eloise was taken aback; Rupert seemed to be giving her a chance to get away but then suddenly
added, “My brother is quite drunk, so would it be alright if you could look after him for me?”
“What?” Eloise blinked rather confused.
Her, look after him?
No way! Eloise wanted to reject this, for they had already agreed to never come into contact again. But
to now have to be alone with one another, this really would be too awkward!
“I still have a client to look after so I can’t really leave their side, so please help me out. You just need
to send him home, is that ok?” Rupert said rather hurriedly.
It looked like that he was busy with hundreds million contract in the private rooms, so no time could be
wasted.
Eloise curled her lips, did they really come out to socialize without having brought along an assistant or
driver?
Hector stood aside and glanced coldly at Rupert who was clearly just putting on an act for actually he
was not drunk; he had only drunk a few glasses and just wanted to come out for some air.
Rupert kept twitching his eyes at him as if trying to hint at something.
His brother’s happiness was right in front him, now was not the time for him to be oblivious to what he
was hinting. Rupert really was afraid that Hector would end up saying he wasn’t drunk.
He thought for a moment until he finally made a decision to push Hector.
Hector had no time to react and instead staggered and fell forward.
Eloise quickly went to support him and stammered as she asked, “You… are you ok?”
Rupert felt successful knowing he had done the job.
“I’m sorry, but I must leave my brother to your care.”
After he said this, Rupert hurried back into the private room.
Eloise was stunned to the spot, just staring at the person in her arms. Hector was leaning on her, while
the heat and alcohol rushed to her face.
Was he really drunk?
Eloise was speechless, however since she knew it would not be good to leave someone in this state
here she had no choice but to face him, “Are you able to walk?”
Hector shook his head, pursed his lips together and said plainly, “No, I need you to hold me up.”
He really sounded like a child, even when drunk he was still so domineering, so Eloise just shook her
head helplessly.
“Well alright, I’ll help you but I need to first say goodbye to my colleagues. Are you able to wait for here
for me?”
Eloise had come to attend the gathering, so naturally she had to say her goodbyes.
But who would have suspected that Hector would say back, “No I can’t wait.”
He didn’t want to wait for her alone.
Eloise was speechless.
Sure enough, he was still just the spoilt son of a rich family who still had such a temper even after
drinking.
She thought about sending a text message to her colleagues later, but at this moment the door of the
room next to them opened. It was Layla who had walked out to go to the bathroom.
Eloise hurriedly stepped forward and said, “Manager Davidson, I really am sorry but I’ve run into a
friend who is drunk and I need to help get him home. So if possible could you help say goodbye to
everyone for me, for I need to leave now?”
Layla raised her eyes and was shocked when she saw the man who was standing next to Eloise.
This… wasn’t the big boss was it?
The big boss was here with Eloise?
Many thoughts started to rush through Layla’s mind. Was this why Master Rupert ordered to have a
dinner together, to come to this place again and booked the private room, all because the big boss was
here…
Feeling Rupert’s gaze, Layla hurriedly said, “Yes, it’s fine. You can go send your friend home, I’ll
explain to everyone what happened.”
“Thank you Manager Davidson.”
Eloise didn’t seem to notice that there was anything wrong, so after thanking her she went to go leave
with Hector.
Layla just stood behind them completely disarrayed, this Eloise… what relation did she have with the
boss?
Observing from the open door, Rupert was watching Eloise leave with his brother. With a successful
smile on his face, he really felt that he was too clever and now it was just up to his brother to take the
next step.
As they walked down the stairs, Hector was putting almost all of his weight onto Eloise.
Eloise was getting so tired that she struggled to catch her breath, she then stared at Hector and said
panting with rage, “What did you eat while you were growing up?”
Why so heavy???
Hearing this, Hector wanted to laugh but in the end he held back.
This girl really was still too naive, for she couldn’t even tell whether he was really drunk or not.
After finally getting down the stairs, Eloise asked, “Where is your car?”
Hector pointed towards the direction of the car park.
Eloise continued to hold him up as they walked over. After finding his car she put Hector into the
passenger seat, and because of a force of habit she somehow fell into Hector’s arms.
She was so tired and panting that she was almost out of strength.
After regaining some strength back, Eloise realized the position she was in and wanted to try get off
him but she was held at the waist by Hector.
He was looking straight at her, and using his drunken state asked, “Eloise, why are you trying to avoid
me?”
Why was she not able to tell him about her past? Why was she not able to let Jensen tell him that
something happened to her, and why after she provoked him then insisted that they break all contact
with each other…?
Taken aback by his deep gaze, Eloise looked flustered and wanted to get up but Hector instead held
her head with one hand and then covered her lips with his.
Eloise felt as if she was struck by lightning and struggled hard to get away but his strength was too
much for her. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Hector embraced her tightly, his lips were cold but gentle and he started to use his tongue. The tobacco
scent lingering on his body entered into her nose.
Within the inside of the car and quiet surroundings she could hear his faint heartbeat. Her mind was
blank and a strange feeling arose inside her.
She didn’t know whether it was because of the alcohol but Eloise suddenly felt extremely dizzy and
after a while she let herself relax into the kiss, forgetting everything…
