Chapter 69: Take two (2/2)
Words seemed to be short to explain his state of mind. All he could do was drive to the nearest medical pharmacy to get the contact solution and case to remove her contacts first.

She had a terrible hangover on Monday morning as she propped her body from the bed. Last night she let her guards down and had a few drinks, ignoring her low tolerance for alcohol.
Actually, she doesn't feel the need to worry anything when she's around Wang Shi. No matter what, a gentleman like him wouldn't leave her alone. This much she was sure.
”Morning, love,”
She looked at the door and found James leaning against it. Judging by the pleasant smile plastered on his face, she could tell he had a wonderful weekend with Evan. ”Looks like you two really had a fun weekend?”
She frowned!
Hold on!
That's not the point!
How did she come here?
Her head snapped with a questionable gaze.
”Dr. Wang Shi brought you here last night. He was not aware you had checked into a hotel. Anyway, he wouldn't have left a drunken you to a hotel either.” he picked up a brown packet from the table and passed it to her, ”And instructed me to give you this as soon as you wake up.”
”Pass me a glass of water please,” She looked at the packet carefully. It had her name written on top in Wang Shi's handwriting. Inside was a small porcelain bottle with the words 'Herbal remedy for hangover' was written on it. Again in Wang Shi's handwriting!
She found his business card and at the back was a note attached.
[Little bitter but a potent cure. Don't forget to drink it before leaving for office.]
As she studied the 'gift' smiling sheepishly like a college girl, she recalled their hug. Ahhh. It was so good. Warm. Safe. Heavenly.
And now this medicine! Must he be so perfect!? He can woo any woman with these cute yet seductive skills of his.
”Cheers,” she clinked the porcelain bottle with the glass of water James had passed earlier and gulped the content in one go.
”Don't tell me this is some kind of morning-after medicine,” James questioned with uncertainty.
”Pfft. Cough cough Cough” the medicine that was still rolling in her mouth came out. She pouted staring at the wet patch on the blanket, ”My sweet medicine,”
”So, you really did 'that' with him?” James passed the tissue papers.
”Bastard, looks like you have overdosed yourself this weekend. This was a hangover cure. My sweet medicine. Sniff sniff. Hottie bum gave me.. sniff sniff.”
”Not my fault,” he shrugged, ”Seeing the red hickeys on his neck, I thought you finally devoured him,”
Suyin ”.”
Did I just hear Hickey?
HICKEY?
HICKEY!!!!!!!!
No!
He said HICKEYS!!!
HICKEYSSSSS!!!!
”JAMMIE!” She bolted up, ”What the hell are you saying? What hickeys? We just hugged last night.”
James gave a mischievous grin as he bundled the blanket and stuffed it into the laundry basket. ”Drunken Suyin is unpredictable. Don't question me. I'm only saying what I saw.”
”Doomed!” She rolled herself into a ball, ”.sniff..sniff Why was I drunk? I don't remember any of that. My first ever hickey is such a waste. I want to know how it felt. Sniff sniff. Give me a take two. I need a retake.. Once more, God. Please..”
James ”.”
Somewhere above the sky God facepalmed with both hands. 'What was I thinking when I created her?'
