Chapter 226 - Chapter 225

CHAPTER 225 ..

@International_Pen

((( ZHIO )))

I have compromised a lot to give my little family my time but I have to make sure the company won't fail while I do so. I have to take care of it for the future of my own family.

Deo has sent over again the documents I requested for reviewing later in the evening.

And when the night came, I waited for Claire to get to sleep again before I touch anything related to work.

She wasn't able to sleep easily so I had to give up more time.

When I was finally free, I went to the study table to review everything.

I was so focused that I didn't notice Claire woke up again.

She pulled one chair and sat beside me.

"You can't sleep again?"

She nodded while looking at whatever I was doing in the monitor.

"What's that?" she asked without an ounce of life.

"These are for the business proposals." I stood up.

I guessed I needed to make her a glass of milk so she could sleep properly.

I left her playing some games in my phone.

When I came back and pushed the glass in front of her, she ignored it.

I sat back down and distract her from playing.

She finally let go of my phone and took the glass of milk.

I averted my attention back on the monitor and not until the half-glass of milk tumbled would I know that she's fallen asleep already.

The liquid spilled on the table and into some folders.

Shit.

I attended to Claire first and lifted her back to the bed.

"You're such a headache Claire," I pulled the comforter up her shoulder, "but sweet dreams."

Some of the inks blotted and an ample thickness of documents had been soaked.

And there was nothing else I could do about it but sigh.

(DERICK)

Curious thoughts plagued me after that day.

My memories were a little foggy but it was enough for me to recall some details. Did something happen between me and Claire?

I was so drunk.

After that night, I expected Claire to be back at her house but she still hasn't.
