Chapter 68: CEO
While sleeping, Gray stirred awake all of a sudden. His eyes blinked open slowly, adjusting to the soft glow that filled the room. He lay there for a moment, not quite sure what day or time it was.
But as he realized that, he almost jumped out of his bed. He quickly grabbed his phone and looked at the screen, his eyes shot wide open.
5:03 a.m.
"Shit." He sat up abruptly, his voice hoarse from sleep. "Did I just sleep through the night?"
He rubbed his face, trying to recall his memories. The last thing he remembered was telling Lily to wake him up after two hours. Then he went to his room, changed clothes, and immediately lay down.
He was only supposed to nap, not rest like this.
A wave of guilt hit him instantly.
"What did Lily eat for dinner?" he muttered as he threw off the blanket and stepped into his slippers.
He rushed out into the living room. The apartment was quiet now, with only the lamp in their living room opened to give light. What he immediately greeted him was the sight on the table.
On their dining table, there were two empty plates and a glass with water still in it. Over by the sink, another plate had been watered out. However, crumbs were still scattered near the edge of the counter.
Gray walked closer and looked at it.
