It was already noon when Cixi woke up. The room was still dark. The curtains were still drawn.
She turned, and she felt the pain in her neck. Was it because of the sex, she pondered. Her whole body still pained her. She wished she did not have to go to work. She groaned softly in pain. She turned carefully to take a look at the time on her phone, only to find that Cassian was sleeping next to her, his hand on her, wrapped around her.
Had her body been in so much pain that she had not recognised there was a man sleeping next to her?
Cixi looked at the sleeping Cassian, and a soft smile appeared on her lips. A few strands of his hair sat across his forehead, and even while sleeping, he looked handsome. Now she understood why no woman ever wanted to end the contract with him, or why women fell in love with him. Who wouldn't? Even her own heart started to beat abnormally again, looking at his handsome face.
