Chapter 32: What's Done Is Done

Arno seemed to be able to read her thoughts and said, “Don’t worry. I won’t talk about the topic just now. But I think, I won’t change my mind in a short time. If you have a second thought, you can tell me anytime. And for the blanket… it was just washed yesterday, you can rest with ease. Just do it for Andy.” Dora was speechless. If he had continued to make her stay with the topic just now, she would surely run away. But he used Andy, and she couldn’t refuse. So, she could only bite the bullet and agreed, “Okay.” Arno breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Then you go take a rest. I’m right next door. You can call me whenever you want if there’s problem.” “Okay. Good night.” “Good night.” After that, he turned and left. In the room, Dora was left alone. Although a lot of things had happened tonight, she was really tired. So, soon after Arno left, she climbed onto the bed and slept next to Andy. In the middle of the night, Dora was suddenly awakened by a blast of heat. She opened her eyes in dazed and unconsciously stretched out to the source of heat. In the end, she had touched Andy’s shockingly hot temperature. She was awakened with a start. She hurriedly got up and found that Andy really had a fever. The temperature should be more than 39 degrees. She quickly got up and ran to the next door, knocking on Arno’s door. Arno had sleepy eyes and was wearing a loose bathrobe. Perhaps it was because he had just woken up, his hair was slightly messy and his whole body was full of unspeakable wildness and sexiness. The man’s hormone had faced towards her, looking lazy and noble. Dora was dazzled in a moment, then calmed herself down and said to Arno, “Andy has a high fever.” Arno’s face was stunned, then consoled her, “Don’t worry. I’ll call the butler.” Dora nodded and watched Arno call his butler in an orderly way, asking him to contact a doctor. Then he brought a medicine box and took out an anti-fever medicine from it for Andy to take. Then, he ordered the servant to bring in hot water to wipe Andy’s body and forehead, lowering his fever. During the time, Andy had groaned in a daze, “Auntie Dora, I want Auntie Dora…” Dora ran to hug Andy in hurry and softly hummed, “Good Andy. Auntie Dora is here.” At the same time, she sighed under Arno’s gaze. After a long time of tossing and turning, it wasn’t until the sky cracked the first glimmer of dawn that Andy’s situation had gotten better. Dora was so sleepy that she could barely open her eyes. Arno said, “You can sleep with Andy in your arms. I’ll be here watching.” “It’s okay. I can,” Dora said, forcing her eyes to open. After a moment, her eyelids drooped again. Arno was amused looking at her and said, “You should sleep for a while. The fever has lowered down now. If the fever rises again later, I’ll wake you up.” “Well, okay. Then I go to sleep. You must call me.” Dora told him anxiously. Arno nodded, then he stared at her lying down obediently. Then she stretched out her hand to hug Andy. One big and one small. Two heads slept together closely, peaceful and beautiful. Arno sat on the edge of the bed and watched. His body slightly leaned down unknowingly, pressing a kiss on the two’s foreheads. The soft touch had pressed down his usual cold heart. His thin lips pressed against her ear and whispered, “Dora Bush, you can’t escape!” …… Dora was deep asleep this time. When she woke up, it was already eight in the morning. Andy’s fever had gone. Andy was sitting on the bedside eating his porridge which fed by his father. When he saw Dora had woken up, he immediately rushed over, “Auntie Dora, are you awake?” Dora was engulfed by a hug and quickly hugged him back. Smiling, she answered, “Yes, I’m awake. How are you? Do you feel better?” While speaking, she touched his forehead. Arno said, “He’s better now. The day isn’t early anymore. Get up and wash up, then have breakfast.” Dora looked at him a little accusingly, “Why didn’t you wake me earlier?” Arno smiled, “His fever didn’t rise, so I didn’t wake you.” Andy rubbed himself in Dora’s embrace, with a baby voice, he said, “Andy was so warm when slept with Auntie Dora last night.” Dora’s smile grew wider upon hearing him. At this moment, Bill Jones limped in from outside and saw somewhat like a picture of a family of three. He was a little confused, “You guys… What is this situation?” Why would his future sister-in-law sleep in his brother’s bed? He had just gone to his ancestors and knelt for a night. What had happened?? Could it be that… his brother was such a beast that he directly slept with her??? Bill stared at his brother in disbelief with an expression of ‘I didn’t expect you to be such a person’. With a glance, Arno knew that he had to be imagined too far. He said in a rather upset tone, “Why are you still here?” Bill felt wronged and replied, “I… I’m here to call you for breakfast. I’ll leave after I eat.” As he said, his eyes glanced at Dora again, as if he wanted to see some clues of ‘what’s done was done’, plainly with none of the cover up. Dora was being stared at until she didn’t feel comfortable. She was embarrassed and ashamed. She hurriedly let go of Andy and said, “I’ll go and wash my face,” Then she rushed into the bathroom. Arno stared at his little brother coldly. Her gaze was terrifying. Bill cautiously watched Dora was shaking. In fear that his brother would bully him frantically, he smiled and said in haste, “Um, what? I’ll go down first.” Then, he left without looking back. …… Half an hour later, after Dora accompanied the two father and son have breakfast, she was ready to leave. She needed to report to her new company today and couldn’t be late. Arno didn’t stop her and only said, “I’ll give you a ride there later.” Dora had wanted to refuse, but when she looked at the time, she was afraid that she couldn’t made it so she agreed. At nine o’clock in the morning, Dora had arrived at Shixin International Building, and followed the instruction to go to the 28th floor of Jinse Creative Co. to report. When she got there, she was received by an assigned person and being brought to meet the director of HR. They talked about work-related matters, including salary as well as the company’s future development and planning. After Dora got a deeper understanding, she realized that even though the company was new, its prospects were very impressive. The several project it recently had in progress were all very large. The resources were also very rich, they weren’t weak than some established creative companies. Moreover, the people here were all the best and talented. Dora was immensely satisfied and immediately went through with the procedures. ……. At this moment, at the headquarters of Jones Group, the director’s office. Bill received a call from Susan, the person in charge of Jinse Creative Co. She reported about Dora’s situation, “Sir, Ms. Bush’s procedures have completed and now she has officially started to work. Everything is going well.” Bill said, “Good. Take good care of her, don’t make mistakes. Of course, don’t be too obvious and give yourself away.” Susan responded with respect, “Understood.” “If there’s no more, I’m hanging up.” Bill quickly ended the call and then sent a message to his older brother on the top floor, “Arno, your future wife’s work is done.” Arno replied, “Okay.” Bill’s lips curled up and sent another message, “I just received a news that White guy has gone to the E.C Company. He likely goes there to discuss about the purchase. I plan to go there to meet him.” Arno replied, “Go. Do it well. Don’t forget your three-month leave.” Bill said, “Can’t forget it. Just watch me.” After that, he hung up and left the office excitedly, going to the E.C Company.
