The Alpha King’s Mistake by BlackFlame
Chapter 52 Upset
Harper Alizah Grace’s POV
“Are you done eating? I’ll take my leave now then?” I asked him when I saw him just staring at me. His eyebrow furrowed and gave me an upset look.
“I thought you won’t going to leave me here?” he answered back I gave him an amusing smiled.
“Of course, I’ll leave, when you’re done eating.” His face become serious, but I can see sadness in his eyes.
“I want you to stay.” He whispered. Why he suddenly sounded so lost? This time, I was the one who’s confused.
“Give me a valid reason to stay.” he pursed his lips like he was thinking what he will going to answer.
“Me, am I not a valid reason for you to stay?” I’ve become silent because of his answer. Actually No, yes? I don’t know. I’m really upset about myself now. Why I am doing all of this when I’m keep telling to myself that I’m mad at him.
Why I’m starting to care about his health, his existence. Why I’m looking for him when he’s out of my sight, why I wanted to know about him more? What’s really happening to me? This is not what I planned, the reason why I am here now.
“Do you still have work to do? I guess you don’t have since you and your friends and cousins were just drinking liquors.” I asked instead of answering his question.
I saw him nodded his head.
“I have, but they barged in my office so, I couldn’t say no to them.” He answered. Is he telling the truth?
“Can you just continue it tomorrow? You’re drunk now.” He slowly shook his head.
“Nope, I have another work to do tomorrow. You’re coming with me actually,” to where?
“Do I need to come tomorrow?” I asked him. He nodded his head.
“You should.” He replied shortly.
“Okay then,” It seems like I have no choice now, eh? The edge of his lips slowly rose up.
“If you wanted to go back in our room so badly, you can sleep here then I’ll continue working.” He suggested. I stared at him while thinking what I will do, will I going to help him or just do what he suggested.
But I guess… I stand up.
“Come on, I’ll help you. You look tired at drunk. You need to sleep also.” I said and sign him to stand up.
“Are you sure?” he asked me while standing up.
“Will I say I if I’m not sure?” I said with a little annoyance in my voice, but instead of getting offended by what I said. He smiled. And that’s really weird.
“Great, don’t worry I’ll guide you.” I nodded my head. We head out in to his working place. I saw any papers above his table. What was this? I get one and read.
“You will sign all of this?” I asked him when I saw that these papers are needed his approval. He shook his head.
“Not all actually,” he answered. So, he will reject the others? I see.
“So, what I should do now then?” I asked him.
“Bring me a cup of coffee first for me to stay awake. There’s a mini kitchen here, there.” He said while pointing a certain place. I gazed over the area he pointed. I saw a door; I look at him again.
“Okay. I’ll get going now, wait for me.” He nodded his head first before starting to work. I sigh as I opened the door. Geez, why am I doing this. I shrugged and just make his coffee.
When I’m done, I go back in his direction.
“Here’s your coffee, be careful. It’s still hot.” I warned him as I put the coffee in his table. He spares a glance at me and mumbled thank you.
He’s drinking the coffee while still reading.
“What will I do next?” I asked him.
“Just sit down, I ca manage this.” He gently answered. Oka then, I’m easy to talk with. I sit down on the chair in front his table.
This is kinda boring.
“Are you really sure that you won’t give me any work? I told you I’ll help.” I asked him once again.
“Your presence is a bit help, mate. Don’t worry, I’ll just finished this quick.” He answered without looking at me. I let out a sigh and leaned back on the chair.
“Can I take a nap here?” I asked him again.
“Are you sleepy?” he questioned back. Nope, I’m just bored and since I have nothing to do. I’ll take a nap now then? But instead of answering that, I answered yes. He’s still thinking that I’m just a human.
“Yes, kinda.”
“Alright, go back in the couch and have a nap. I’ll just wake you up when I’m done.” He answered. Great, I nodded my head and stood up.
I turned my back on him and walk back to the couch. I sat down and leaned my back and then slowly closed my eyes to relax and calm down myself.
Maybe, I should really take a nap. A few minutes later, I found myself fell in to a d*eep sleep. A few hours later, I felt someone lifted me up and carry me in bridal way. I’m still sleepy so I just let him carry me.
The next thing I knew, I was laying down in a soft mattress, the bed precisely.
“I know you’re awake.” He whispered so I slowly opened my eyes.
“I didn’t tell that I’m sleeping.” I answered back sassily. He chuckled and smiled widely.
“Still feisty, resume sleeping now. I’ll just take a bath.” He informed me. I nodded my head and closed my eyes again.
Even if my eyes were closed, I can feel his intense stare at me.
“I thought you will go in the bathroom? I know I’m pretty so you don’t need to stare at me like that.” I amusedly said with my eyes still closed.
He chuckled once again.
“Alright, I’ll get going now then.” He answered, I felt him started to move. And when I heard the door closed, I opened my eyes. It’s to light over here, I adjust the light into just deem.
I go back in the bed again and comfortably lay down. I need to sleep before he can come back. I think it will be h*ard to sleep when he’s already sleeping beside me.
But damn, it looks like I can’t sleep now. Really damn. I sigh and opened my eyes.
Calm down Alizah, you need to calm down. This is not the first time you stay in one bed with him right. I’m talking to myself again. Geez.
Right, I shouldn’t be nervous. I should act cool, and not bothered. I heard the bathroom door opened, it’s a sign that he’s done taking a bath. I immediately closed my eyes.
“You’re still awake?” I heard him asked me.
“Yeah,” I answered shortly.
“Why?” he asked again. What does he mean about the question why?
“Can’t sleep.” I answered. I gelt him go towards the bed now.
“Sleep now, or you still want to do something.” I immediately opened my eyes. Do something? What might it be? Does he mean, I should take a bath too? But I just did before going in the kitchen then to his office.
I saw him sat down on the edge of the bed. He’s wearing a white shirt and a black boxer short. I averted my gaze on him and just stared at the ceiling.
“Me too, I can’t sleep.” He continued when he saw that I’m not going to talk.
I remained silent, I heard him sigh and just lay down on the bed also. We both stared at the ceiling of the room.
