The sun rose earlier than usual today . Carl drove to work after dropping Kim off . She was still in a dilemma as to whether to stay in school or not .

Although Carl had a.s.sured her whatever decision she made, he would accept it . For some reason, she did not want to increase the distance between them . She wanted to be as close to him as possible .

When Carl arrived, Chamberlain was not in the office . So he busied himself while wondering why Chamberlain wanted to watch him at all times when he should be in the finance department . Because of his boss he had to move to and fro a few times a day and he hated moving about .

With his lowered, he typed away on the computer . When he heard familiar footsteps, he raised his head .

Carl smiled mocking when he saw the state of his boss . Though he was dressed in a suit, his hair, neat, his face wasn't as sharp as the rest of his body .

"How was your first night?" Carl smirked .

Whereas Chamberlain glared at him, unfortunately, Carl remained unfazed . May be because he had grown accustomed to teasing each other that he was not as reserved and as polite as when he started working .

Carl wasn't sure when it began but teasing him was a lot more fun than he thought . Now he felt hate was too strong a word, he did not hate Chamberlain, he just disliked him a little .

Advertis.e.m.e.nt

He was even more pleasant now as compared to before .

"I heard the first night is usually more exciting . " Carl continued to tease . He was pretty sure Chamberlain ran away . He just couldn't help it .

He added, "For someone who doesn't like his wife, you sure had fun . "

If eyes could kill, Carl would probably be dead . Chamberlain retorted, "It's not bad, as compared to someone who has to stay celibate because his crush is his sister . "

Like a punch to cotton, his words had no effect on him . After all things with Kim wasn't as bad as Chamberlain speculated .

Carl grinned, "I heard sister-complex is exciting . "

"Seriously, who's feeding you these worthless information . You keep "hearing," what did you see for yourself?"

"I'm speaking from experience, what do you know? A virgin like you wouldn't understand," Carl said, shaking his head .

Chamberlain raised his brow . Then he smiled wryly, it was his fault . If he had not accepted Carl as his friend, he would not be hearing these sought of things .

Carl lowered his head to continue working . Though he appeared serious, he was gloating on the inside .

"For a kid, you sure talk more than you're capable . And do I appear so holy to you?" Chamberlain asked before walking away .

Carl grinded his teeth, 'Kid?'

"Yes, I'm just a child so we can't be friends!" He yelled, startling the secretaries .

"Humph! How childish . " Chamberlain muttered .

Paying no heed to the child staring daggers at him, he entered his office .

…

"The wedding will be held in the capital, so both of you will have to come over . " A sweet voice floated into Lena's ears .

It was a call from her mother, she had wanted to call but Mrs . Hansberry beat her to it .

"Actually, it's a bit rushed, I don't know what your father is thinking but thankfully, I managed to get a good spot . " Mrs . Hansberry sighed .

'Thankfully, it's to a person I know,' she thought .

Lena listened quietly . She had no thoughts concerning the wedding preparations . And since she had been told to avoid the opposite gender because she was already betrothed to Chamberlain, she saw him as her husband, so it did not matter .

As she listened, her mind drifted to the past . For as long as she could remember, her parents her told her would be married to Chamberlain . She tried to get close to him but she was too shy to approach him so she tried as much as possible to be within his view . Where they could both see each other . This was the reason Chamberlain found her weird . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .

They did not talk much but he would always catch her watching him . Since he would always see her staring, she seemed more like a stalker than his fianceé .

May be she had grown accustomed to him so all her thoughts were with him as her focus . Though they were eight years apart, she didn't think it was too much . Probably because her mother had told her that an older man was much more stable and responsible .

She also felt secure with him .

"I've also sent the invitation out, are your friends abroad coming too?" Her mother's question brought her back to the present .

Lena hummed in acknowledgement . "Mother… . "

She had a lot of questions to ask but she did not know where to start or what to even ask .

Mrs . Hansberry went quiet . She strained her ears to hear whatever her daughter wanted to say .

She had always been close to her daughter so she knew her daughter did not object to Chamberlain and because of that, she was thankful .

If that weren't the case, she would be torn between father and daughter .

A few seconds went by and Lena said nothing . Her mother knew she had many questions, so she comforted her, "It's going to be fine . "

Mrs . Hansberry's words were enough to calm the raging storm in her heart . After all, her mother had never lied to her .
