Chapter 124 Autumn's Suspicion

She had lived with her ex-boyfriend before she met Charles. When she finally found an excuse to break up with her ex-boyfriend, the guy packed all his belongings and walked away from her life. Now, she's left with an apartment that looked livable for a single lady.

"Can I use your bathroom?" asked Charles, taking off his business suit.

He was lucky enough that the shirt hadn't gotten dirty. All he needed to do was clean his suit.

"This way, " Leila said as he gestured for Charles to follow her towards the bathroom.

"Mr. Lu, I'm really sorry. I promise I will clean your suit or I might as well buy a new one for you, "

She said regretfully.

"You don't have to do that, "

Charles replied nonchalantly.

Leila reached into the suit's pocket, finding his mobile phone. Her face flushed as the phone rang, showing the number of Charles's wife.

She walked into the balcony, picking up the phone after hesitating a few moments. "Good day, Mrs. Lu. Your husband is currently inside the bathroom. Once he gets out, I'll inform him that you have called, " Leila said respectfully as she hung up the phone.

After putting down the phone on the table anxiously, she decided to make some tea.

As Charles came out of the bathroom, he saw Leila sitting on the couch and a cup of hot tea on the table. "I'm leaving. Have a good night."

"Mr. Lu, would you like to have a cup of tea before you go?" Leila asked, trying to persuade Charles to stay overnight.

If she only had a choice, she would like to stay with him even if they did nothing but talk.

"Save yourself the trouble. I never drink tea at night. Otherwise, I might find it difficult to sleep, " Charles explained.

"Thank you anyway."

"Here's your phone, " Leila said, handing over his phone and wallet.

"By the way, your wife called earlier and I answered it for you."

"What? Why did you do that?" Charles exclaimed, forcefully taking his phone from Leila.

He's absolutely surprised that she did such a thing. He didn't think that Leila is ever capable of fiddling with his phone.

Leila was incredibly frightened to see Charles lose his temper. It took a few moments before she regained her composure. "Mr. Lu, I wa

eila deliberately do this to cause some trouble and make Autumn angry?'

He sighed, understanding that he needed to explain everything to Autumn. "Leila got drunk during the business dinner. As her superior, I had to take her home or else she might be in trouble. She threw up at me when I was just dropping her off so I had to wash my suit in the bathroom. You can get my suit and smell it for yourself if you don't believe me, " Charles said, taking off his suit.

Just as he was about to put it over her nose, Autumn stopped his hand halfway and shouted, "Go ahead and take a shower! You stink!"

"Alright, I'll do it. You're the boss, " said Charles, smiling as he walked towards the bathroom.

He shouted not long after he entered the bathroom, asking for Autumn to bring him his underpants.

Autumn was speechless.

"Where are your pants?"

She hesitated, debating whether to get it for him.

"Inside the drawer on the left side of the wardrobe, "

Shouted Charles.

Autumn opened the drawer. As she looked inside, she saw that the underpants came in different colors. She wondered whether they belonged to him or not.

Charles usually had clothes that came in three or four colors, including white, black, gray and blue. No one would expect that he had a collection of multi-colored underpants. Autumn refrained from laughing as she decided to pick the pink one for him. "Here you go, " she said cheerfully, tossing the underpants into the bathroom.
