Mr. Chairman’s Devious Wife by Brey Mitchylle

Chapter 16

Sofia groggily opened her eyes, her head throbbing from a night of little. sleep. Sleeping at 3 in the morning was not something she would recommend to anyone.

She held her head. Fortunately, it was the weekend, and she did not have to wake up early for work.

“Eh?” She blinked when she noticed she was gazing at someone’s back- shirtless–naked masculine back. Then the memories of last night flooded her brain.

No. She did not engage in anything sexual or cry in his arms again.

Exhaustion had simply led her to sleep, and somehow, he had chosen to share the bed. She shook off the panic as she gingerly untangled herself from his sleeping form, hoping not to disturb him.

Yet, as she made her escape, he stirred and turned to face her. Panic briefly flickered inside her, but it vanished as quickly as it came when she saw that his eyes remained closed.

Carefully slipping out of bed, Sofia thought she had succeeded in her quiet exit. Just as she was about to fully escape, he suddenly grabbed her wrist and effortlessly pulled her back into his arms. A gasp escaped her lips as she found herself back on the bed, her face pressed against his chest.

Almost immediately, his masculine, woody yet somehow sweet smell filled her nose. Her cheeks reddened, her heart racing against her chest:

“Morning…” his voice was a little too husky for someone who just woke up. Hold on… he was awake?

“It’s noon…” she said without knowing the exact time.

“Hmmm…” his arm tightened around her.
