Chapter 24: He was bitten by a small wild cat
Inside the Presidential Suite.
The woman slept in the large bed, her long hair spread out on the pillow, the morning sunlight refracted through the window stinging her waking eyes.
Estrella’s arm rose and pressed toward her sore, swollen head and she frowned sharply.
Last night… her and Ricardo?!
Her eyes suddenly opened, she saw only that she was in an unfamiliar hotel and around her there was no man.
She rubbed her forehead and stood up, just feeling groggy, it turns out she had surprisingly gotten drunk at the Pivo Czech Bar the night before….
He squeezed his temples and tried to evoke his memories of the night before.
She went to the Pivo Czech Bar with Perla, then Perla went to the bathroom with a stomach ache, leaving her and Ricardo, after that, they both seemed to be drunk, she helped Ricardo into the private room, and then…. Adam kicked the door and burst in….
The phone that was placed on the bed suddenly rang and the caller ID, it was just Adam.
He picked up the phone and took a deep breath before answering it.
Before he could speak, a deep, magnetic male voice from the other side rang out, “Are you awake yet?
For some reason, just hearing his voice made her heart race for no reason, so she bit her lips and responded with a soft -Yes-.
But as soon as she finished answering, he realized that her voice was extremely ugly to listen to, her voice was already dry and hoarse after a night of hangover, plus she hadn’t had any water yet.
-Paulita is injured and hospitalized, she wants to see you.
Paulita’s tender voice could be heard on the phone -Estrella, I’m at the People’s Hospital with Dad, are you coming soon to see me?
Estrella’s brow furrowed, her heart could not help but despair, “How did Paulita get hurt? Is her injury serious?
His nervous tone made Adam on the other side give a slight lift, he looked at the little girl lying on the bed and pursed his lips -It was just a bump on the head and I bled a bit, nothing serious-.
Estrella became even more desperate, was she bleeding and yet she said it was nothing serious…? Paulita was just a three-year-old girl.
-I’ll get cleaned up and go immediately!
After hanging up the phone, Estrella moved quickly to get out of bed, only just as she got up, she realized she was naked, her torn skirt and underwear lying on the carpet….
Her cheeks suddenly turned red.
Those scenes that made her blush appeared in her head all at once.
After Adam led her out of the private room of the bar, she wrapped herself around Adam the whole time, kissing him, and even… she seemed to have pushed Adam away and straddled his waist….
Star raised her hand to cover her burning face, she wouldn’t have… raped Adam last night, would she?
She brushed her teeth and washed her face with confused emotions and a knock sounded at the door.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
-Mrs. Estrella, are you up? Mr. Adam asked me to bring you some clothes.
Estrella wrapped a bathrobe around her body, walked barefoot to the door, opened it and there was a respectful, smiling waitress standing in front of the door.
Estrella took the paper bag that had clothes and? clean women’s underwear.
What a detail-oriented Adam is…
After handing her the clothes the waitress did not leave, but handed her a small unwrapped bottle of medicine, her smile was still sweet and polite -Mrs. Estrella, Mr. Adam has instructed you to remember to take this, for safety’s sake-.
For security?
The first thing that came to Estrella’s mind was emergency contraception. Ears red, she picked up the small bottle of medicine.
After closing the door, she looked at the small bottle of medicine without any words of description and frowned slightly, so last night she and Adam really did it?
If not, why did Adam ask the waitress to buy him a birth control pill to take?
At the thought of this, Estrella would bang her head in disgust.
…
When she arrived at the People’s Hospital, Estrella asked at the front desk to go to the designated ward.
As soon as Estrella arrived inside the room, Paulita, who was lying on the hospital bed, smiled with her little mouth, “Estrella, you have come to see me!
Adam was feeding Paulita with rice soup, when Estrella saw this, she wanted to be close to Paulita for no reason, so she spoke softly -What if you let me feed Paulita?
Adam said nothing, this sort of thing is more appropriately left to a woman, handed the bowl of rice soup and spoon to Estrella and left her place.
Paulita looked with her big eyes and suddenly saw a red mark on her father’s neck, with her little finger she pointed and asked -Daddy, what happened to your neck?
La Paulita was referring to the bite mark on her throat.
The man’s dark eyes were deep set with an intriguing playful smile -I was bitten by a small wild cat last night-.
Estrella was stunned, it couldn’t be her bite from the previous night’s drunkenness, could it?
Paulita is still thinking about the “little wild cat”, Estrella sat in front of the bed while patiently feeding the little one, trying to distract her attention -Paulita, how did you fall? does it hurt?
The little girl blinked her big eyes, nodded with her little chin and asked with her mouth, “Star, where did you go last night, why didn’t you come to see me, I was so sore last night?
At the mention of the previous night, Estrella’s cheeks grew warm again.
-I… last night… was busy with something… -I… last night… was busy with something…
The little girl frowned a little and asked in disgust, “What is more important than Paulita? Star, don’t you like me?
Estrella hastened to explain, “I like you, of course I like you Paulita, it’s just that last night, I…”.
Just as he stammered, Adam’s thin lips parted slightly -Estrella was also sick last night, so she couldn’t come to see you-.
As soon as the little girl heard this, her soft, white little hand immediately touched Star’s forehead thoughtfully, “Star, your head, it’s so hot!
Adam’s eyebrows furrowed and his large hand directly touched his forehead, it’s quite warm.
-You have a fever.
Quite possibly so, from the cold shower you gave him last night in the bathtub.
-I don’t think I have a fever….
As soon as she stood up, her eyes went out and she fainted, she was gathered into Adam’s arms.
…
-High fever, 39. 5 degrees, if they come a little later, this girl’s brain would burn out.
The thirty-something nurse was chatty, while injecting the IV needle into Estrella, she “accused” Adam -What good are you as her boyfriend, how can you be so bad at taking care of girls? Someone like you can still have a girlfriend, just because you’re so handsome.
Adam’s dark eyes became a bit serious, his gaze was deep as he looked at the woman passed out in the hospital bed, his brow furrowed slightly.
The nurse saw that it would not be good to disturb Adam, closed her mouth quietly and left the room after sticking the needle.
Santino arrived and shouted -Boss-, Adam made a silent sign with his finger, which indicated him to be quiet, Santino remained still, he could only see Estrella lying on the hospital bed with the serum, he immediately closed his mouth.
But he remembered the important things of the company, he had to lower his voice, he approached Adam’s ear and spoke in a very low voice -Chief, the representative of GrupoGK has arrived, you just need to sign the contract-.
The man’s gaze fixed on the small woman in the hospital bed and his thin lips spoke the word – delay-.
-Ah…? That wouldn’t be appropriate, Chief.
It was a $200 million project and to postpone it like this?
Isn’t the boss afraid that what he already has in hand will slip through his fingers?
-Chief…
The man with the cold eyes -What’s the problem?
Santino was scared inside -No, nothing-.
-If there is no problem, then go out, remember to close the door.
-…-
Santino couldn’t help but groan inside him, This woman sure is trouble!
