Chapter 69: Did I Say That?
The shrill sound of Xander’s mobile phone woke him up from his slumber. Yawning, he rubbed his eyes and almost instinctively moved his arm to hold Yera. He hadn’t bothered about the constant ringing of his phone. "She is up early?" he mused as he lazily tossed around on the empty bed.
An ear to ear grin plastered all over his face as his lips curved upward. He took his hands off his eyes, yet didn’t open them. With Year’s words still replaying in his mind, his smile continued to widen.
He sluggishly opened his eyes, glancing at the wall clock. "Damn, it’s late!" he grunted, as he quickly sat up on the bed. Stretching his arms momentarily, he finally looked at his phone to attend his noisy phone.
The previous day’s meetings with a bunch of people had thoroughly exhausted him and the long flight that he had taken for his wife had mentioned that she had been missing him, only added on to his exertion.
He couldn’t help giggling to himself. He was in such an awesome mood that he was definitely going to give a treat to all of his employees in the hospital later. His dearest wife had confessed to him the previous night that she liked him very much. The addition of ’very much’ had him sleep on cloud nine.
"I like you very much," he murmured several times, followed by his whistling before he got out of the bed and made his way toward the shower room for a quick bath.
Xander stilled his eyes at his full length reflection in the mirror for a while before he walked toward his private room. He messaged assistant Ron to go inside his office since the latter had messaged him that he would take the file real quick.
He was startled when Yera suddenly entered his office. She passed him a smile. "Good morning. I have brought breakfast for you. I am sure, you are hungry."
Xander smiled back. His eyes twinkled brighter than shining stars. He watched Yera putting the coffee mug on his table before she began taking the sandwiches out of the paper bag.
