It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 115

"Don't move! One more step and you'll..." Duke couldn't finish his sentence. Belinda's howl of pain drowned out his voice.

"Ouch!" Belinda tripped on the couch and fell to the ground. The sheet fell off her body and once again, Duke saw her sexy curves.

"I told you to stand still." With a small gloating smile, Duke stepped forward to pick her up.

"Let go of me! It's all your fault." Belinda shook his hand off. She grabbed the sheet and then dashed into the bathroom, face still burning. That was so humiliating.

Duke looked at his hand held out for her. Did she really need to run from him like that? He was no monster and he wouldn't bite.

Shaking his head, he cast a last glance at the closed bathroom door before getting dressed.

The hotel was the property of the FX International Group, so it was natural that he had his own suite here. Although he seldom stayed the night, the room was always reserved for him in case he needed it for emergencies like last night.

Right as Duke fastened the last button on his outfit, he heard a knock on the door. His assistant arrived more quickly than he had expected. He smiled to himself.

"Boss, I brought what you asked for." Outside of the door, there stood a pretty young woman, slightly panting. There were beads of sweat all over her forehead. She must have run all the way here. She handed over the bag and looked curiously through the half-open door.

"Well done. Thank you. You may go now." Without any hesitation, Duke took the bag and banged the door closed. He couldn't care less what his assistant thought of him.

He turned around just in time to see Belinda walk out of the bathroom. She replaced the rumpled sheet with a blue bathrobe, her hands clenching her bathrobe near her neck and her face glowing after the hot shower.

Duke paused for a second. However, he soon put on his cold face and threw the bag at Belinda.

"There you are. Get changed, and then we can talk." What's done is done. He didn't mind making it up to her. He thought about being with her even. What happened last night simply moved things forward, at a quick pace.

"What? When did you get these?" Belinda was surprised. She only took a ten-minute shower and he prepared a change of clothes for her. How on earth did he do that?

"Didn't I just make the call? Were you in a trance?" Duke didn't know what to say. He was standing right next to her when he called his assistant. How could she not hear him? He couldn't help wondering how could she managed as an CEO if she was always this slow.
