She opened her eyes abruptly to behold a figure wrapped in the quilt on the bed with his back turned against her.Sophia was about to fling the quilt off his body to find out who it was but stopped short at that point. Naked? Why did I sleep naked? She asked within.As she narrowed her eyes around the bed, she could see her clothes lying carelessly on the bed.With a racing heart and shaky hands, she pulled the quilt away from the man lying close to her and pulled his head with her two hands, twisting his gaze to hers.Shockingly, she let her off of his head.

His polished exterior and sophistication added to his sleek and charms, giving him a dishy appearance.Taking his cream, he added a little in his hands and rubbed his hair before brushing down his well-calved beards that were all sleepy on his handsome face.Thrusting his diamond wristwatch in his hands, he pinned it until it became fitted perfectly on his wrist.Just as it clocked at 7:32 am, he took his phone and called his driver to get his car ready.Before he left the room, Joana’s call came in but there was not much time to converse as he was rushing for the office so he did not bother taking her calls.Instead, he sent her a text telling he
