Chapter 146 - Bad Dream (1/2)

Ch-145

”Myna's apartment is close here. Drop me and you go home and accompany uncle,” Eleanor said as she looked ahead.

Cedric wanted to say something but he was tired.

”Fine,” he said. In ten minutes, they reached Myna's place. Unbuckling the seatbelt, she climbed off the car.

”Let's meet for lunch tomorrow,” Cedric said.

”Hmm… I plan to have canteen food tomorrow. It's been days since I went to the company. Need to deal with stuff. Why don't you take a leave and rest for tomorrow? It's been so tiring for you,” Eleanor said with a smile.

”Eleanor… something wrong?” Cedric asked feeling concerned.

”What's wrong? Nothing. I am just concerned about you all. All the five seemed to stress out and push themselves to their limits.” She said.

”That's all?” he asked.

”Yeah,” she said with a bright smile.

”I will drop you at home,” he said.

”Zora mansion and Emerson Mansion are at a far distance. You will be tired if you drop and drive back. You can pick me from the office tomorrow. Now go rest. If you want you can come with me. I don't think Myna would mind it if you stay here,” she said.

”Indeed, she won't mind. Then I must stay here,” he said.

”hmm… then you should get ready to get cramped,” she said with a smile.

Cedric knew something was off with her. He was afraid she would leave him if he let go of her.

”Are you alright?” he couldn't help but ask.

”I am but not Myna,” she said finally.

”What happened to her?” he asked with a frown.

”Now Mason was sick… how did you feel? Sad and depressing right”?” she asked. He nodded.

”Myna loved my brother for years. She has been treating him since the time, he was admitted into the hospital. But under her nose someone drugged him, making him unable to wake up. And from this morning, after she left hospital, she wasn't herself. I need to be there for her at least now. As I got time,” Eleanor explained.

”Then how about we three have drinks together?” he asked.

”We had drinks during dinner!” she exclaimed.

”Then what should we do?” he asked.

”Generally, we pick a sad movie and watch it till we cry. That makes her shed all tears and worries to me. But since you are here… maybe we should find a different way,” Eleanor said.

”Hmm… how about we order spicy food,” he gave an idea.

”Hmm… but it's past midnight. I don't think any restaurant would be open,” she said.

”Yeah… that's another trouble we have,” he said.

”Maybe a night snack,” he suggested.

”That would be great,” she said.

Cedric and Eleanor walked to the lift. Pressing it to the eleventh floor. They both stood in the lift waiting to reach the floor. The moment the door closed, Cedric hugged Eleanor burying his head in the crook of her neck, inhaling her natural scent which was a mixture of Jasmine and Orange scent. It calmed him down instantly. Rubbing his nose to her bare skin, he stuck his lips to her neck. ”It was hard,” he mumbled against her skin, fanning his hot breath making her hair stand at the edge.

”I know,” she said, rubbing his back.

Eleanor saw they were on the fifth floor. She was afraid someone would walk in and would see them in this scandalous position. She wanted some time off from Cedric and his circle. She wasn't herself from the time she saw Nathaira. And still, he wasn't making any effort to talk about Nathaira. Despite how much she loved them, she expected an explanation from him. Even if he didn't give an explanation he should try to give her clarity about the situation or give a heads up. That wouldn't hurt him. But… his unbothered nature hurt her deeply. But… she chose to endure it because she loves him. He was a man who almost gave up his life, waited for her and did many things for her. She can't break up with him just because of a random person. She wanted to understand him and give him time. But… he wasn't understanding her. He was hell adamant on sticking with her.
