Chapter 44: Her Only Best Friend
Ruediger’s new home office was finally set up properly around one in the afternoon. After unpacking and arranging, the place took on a sleek and modern look.
Aside from the huge desk, books and a few other equipment that belonged to Ruediger, other items were also placed in the room.
Two plush chairs in the color sage green were tucked in a corner with a white table standing between them. The sunlight filtered through the white lace curtain, illuminating the office.
Lariette hoped Ruediger would treat this room as the place he could relax, including the bedroom during the duration of their marriage.
"What do you want for lunch? Something light or heavy?" asked Ruediger, already imagining the dishes he could make for lunch.
"Takeout for lunch, is that okay? We’re both tired. Let’s just relax while waiting for the delivery. Oh, what do you wanna eat?"
Lariette and Ruediger had just walked out of the home office when she suggested ordering takeout. His response earned laughter from her.
"Are you sure you don’t want me to cook? I can whip up something quick."
Ruediger asked while taking the tie securing his hair into a ponytail off. Raking his fingers through his hair, the crimson locks draped messily below his shoulders.
Lariette glanced at Ruediger’s hair, silently thinking how shiny the strands were under the sunlight. Somehow, his hair looked better than hers.
Should she go and pamper herself at a hair salon soon?
