Chapter 547: Premonition (1)
The rest of the day was a blur as Lanni finished up the work on her desk before starting to scout for another headline. There was no such thing as too soon for a new task in her dictionary and certainly not on her calendar.
There was nothing much happening in the country at the moment. Most of the articles submitted on her desk these days were of celebrities catching their partners cheating, getting fans talking for days then later reporting that it was a misunderstanding and getting back together. That, or the artists that had most fans shipping them coupling up. That was as old as hell and most of it was scripted for publicity, which she knew from a diary she had once stumbled upon while searching for a new novel to read.
It wasn’t that she wished for bad things to happen so she would get something to write about but it would be nice if there was more news—both good and bad.
Hence, she wrote an email with a suggestion to Lin Jian.
On Saturday, she woke up with a smile on her face. She was so excited for her cake tasting that the realization that her husband was not in bed or anywhere in the house didn’t dull her enthusiasm.
She checked the time and frowned when she saw that it was almost midday. No wonder she was so hungry. She rubbed her empty stomach and strolled downstairs to make herself something to eat, only to find a covered tray on the kitchen island. Beside it was a note held in place by an empty coffee cup.
She lifted the coffee cup and took the note, reading it with a smile.
[Good afternoon, Sleepyhead. At least I think you won’t wake up until noon. Replace the second word with ’morning’ if you do wake up before noon.
I set the coffee for 11:30 and brunch is on me. Now feed your lazy ass before the cake tasting. Remember to leave some space for the samples! Love, Xiehan.]
She chuckled. Who the hell wrote ’feed your lazy ass’ on a sweet good morning note? But coming from him, it sent a kaleidoscope of butterflies fluttering in her stomach. Her attraction for him hadn’t dulled in the slightest. She devoured her food before giving Luna a call.
The latter picked up on the first ring.
