32 Chapter 32: Wheres my kiss? (1/2)

It did not take long before Laurice was back with a medicine box on her hands. The moment she entered the room her eyes flew straight to the man who was sitting leisurely in the turquoise velvet wing chair beside the window. She was quite baffled by the sight of the gorgeous man who was casually leaning on his head with his eyes closed.

'Was he sleeping already? Can't be, right?'

She discreetly peeked at the man's features and realized that he looks even more dashing without clothes on. Her eyes tried to avoid looking further away from his face but she just could not help it at all.

'Damn.'

Her fists clutched tightly on the box and her heart begun pounding like crazy. It was another first for her. She was never extremely attracted to a man to such extent before. Never was she bothered by a man's physical presence to the point of losing composure. She was always calm and collected in dealing with her daily affairs be it business or personal affairs.

So despite literally being surrounded by even more gorgeous men abroad, no one was still able to caught her interest.

Not even once.

Suddenly, Laurice was oddly taken back on one particular night and was reminded of a certain man whom she have met two years ago in an evening after-party following a business forum at one of New York's finest hotels. Laurice was invited to attend as proxy and was sent by the vice president himself to represent the company since the latter could not make it to the said event.

She barely remembered the man's face but their encounter somehow made an impact on her. She quite like his crisp and husky voice which somehow still lingers on her that's giving her the same chills. If she may so, it was the type of voice that can send one straight to hell. And that was indeed one hell of a night for Laurice. She slightly trembled at the thought of that particular foreigner.

...

While still in a daze, Laurice failed to notice that Sid has already opened his eyes and was staring intently at her.

A visible crease appeared on his forehead. He did not like the idea of the woman thinking about anything else when he's around.

The sudden chilly atmosphere pulled Laurice from her trance. She got goosebumps all over her arms and noticed Sid's sharp gaze at her.

”Hey! Sorry, did i make you wait?” Laurice said and nervously went towards Sid and sat at the foot stool beside him.

”I'll change your dressing now.” She busied herself without looking at him but his fervent gaze is making her even more nervous for some reason. She tried her best not to touch him but it was unavoidable so she could only pray that the man stop staring at her to add to her discomfort. Laurice was like literally holding her breath the entire time. She could not guess what's going on Sid's mind but she knew for a fact that he's all the more dangerous when he's being silent.

Soon she finally managed to finish wrapping his wound and stood up to excuse herself when Sid also stood up to stop her.

Sid tugged at her shirt and unceremoniously spoke, ”Aren't you helping me get dressed?”

He sounded like he was ordering her to help him into his clothes rather than requesting.
