Chapter 367 I Am Hungry
Lyle immediately turned his head back He paused for a moment. Then, he scratched the area behind his ear.
He looked up at William, and asked, “Will, are you and Ms. Hoven backtogether?”
William held a glass in one hand, with the base resting in the palm of his other hand. He responded calmly, “Yeah”
Lyle hesitated: “Then, why..”
A cold gling flashed in William’s eyes.
Lyle stopped mid–sentence.
After a moment’s thought, he seemed to understand. He chuckled and leaned back casually in his chair. “No wonder they say that pain is the best teacher…Alright, I get it. I’ll take care of it.”

Room service arrived with their meal. Lyle was about to take a look at the food, but william quickly said, “I didn’t order a portion for you.”
Lyle laughed and cursed before saying, “Tine! I’m just the workhorse doing all the work without getting fed. I’ll go get something to eat myself.”
william picked up the car keys Lyle had tossed on the table earlier and threw them to him. “Becareful.”
Lyle waved a hand in acknowledgment and walked out, his steps lazy and casual. As he closed the door, he glanced in the direction of the bedroom, seemingly unintentionally.
Once outside, his nonchalant expression disappeared. He stood quietly for a moment. Then, he lit a cigarette and smoked as he made his way downstairs.
william set down his glass and entered the bedroom
e asking, “Where are my clothes from yesterday?”
Emelle was standing by the bed, looking around. When she saw him come in, she paused before a
“1sent them for dry cleaning,” William replied. He walked over and wrapped his arm around her waist, his hand resting just below the hem of her borrowed shirt.
His eyes darkened as he asked, “No clothes? Why didn’t you call me? You just came out like this?”
Last night, driven by emotion, everything Emelie did felt natural. But now, she was awake, and this kind of intimacy felt unfamiliar and uncomfortable.
She bither lip. “I didn’t know Lyle was here. Did I Interrupt you?”
william leaned down to capture her lips. “Idon’t like anyone else seeing you like this”
Emelie’s usually composed and logical appearance always made her seem calm and rational. However, Emelie had just woken up, her defenses down and her eyes dazed like a lost tawn it ignited an irresistible urge in someone to do something to her
As his breath tangled with her, Emelie’s heart fluttered. She turned her head to avoid his lass. “Isn’t he your best friend?”
“It doesn’t matter. Don’t avoid me.” Emelle hesitated for a moment. But she soon found herself captured by his kiss.
William guided her backward until her back pressed against the wardrobe. His hand pinned her wrists above her head, leaving her no choice but to tilt her head back.
The cool mint scent of his aftershave filled her senses, blurring the line between his scent and her ownL
William lifted the hem of her shirt, his eyes darkened as he took in the sight. “You really aren’t wearing anything underneath,”
“I couldn’t find anything to wear,” Emelie protested. She struggled to free her hands and push him away, “William, wait. I’m hungry. I need to eat.”
His voice was smooth. “I’m hungry too.”
Emelie was speechless. Clearly, they weren’t talking about the same kind of hunger.
Emelie was afraid that if he got too excited, he might want sex again, so she quickly said, “I haven’t eaten for three meals.”
william finally withdrew his hand. He glanced at his fingers with a smirk. He said, “You must be really hungry.”
Emelie was speechless. She was certain he wasn’t referring to her kind of hunger.
She felt both embarrassed and Instrated. Then, she shoved him away with her all might.
He didn’t grab her forcefully this time. Instead, he let go and beaded to the bathroom to wash his hands. He grabbed a disposable pair of underwear and a bathrobe from the cabinet, motioning for her to put them on first.
Emelie had been searching everywhere for just a moment ago. She couldn’t find the bathrobe,
to discover it in the bathroom cabinet.
She got herself sorted out and came out. Not seeing Lyle, she knew he had left, and Williams had already placed the meal delivered by room service on the table.
She reached out and touched the edge of the bowl. She found it a bit cold, but she didn’t say anything. She intended to just make do.
William glanced at her and surprisingly understood her meaning. He took it to the kitchen to heat it in the microwave.
She was taken aback. He had never been this observant of her before, not had be taken the initiative to do these things. While William waited, he casually leaned against the cupboard.
Today, he was notably dressed in warm colors. A light beige crewneck sweater, casually cut with the shoulder line falling at arm’s length, He exuded a youthful
rofesion that softened his otherwise unapproachable and dignified demeanor,
After all, he was only a years old. He was born in 1995, but his usual high position of power and overwhelming aura often made people forget about his age. Suddenly, William spoke up, “Bayan suspended your position. You should return to Cloudex Corporation. I’ve been waiting for you.”
