Leap OF Fate

Chapter 10

The bright and warm sunlight touched Serene’s face. She winced with eyes still closed she pulled

herself to a sitting position, resting her head on the headboard. Her throat felt dry and her head was

like splitting into two. “Ugh, hangover”, she uttered under her breath. She clutched her head and by

doing so, she noticed that only a white blanket covered her and was naked underneath.

Her nakedness jolted her awake and immediately pulled the blanket further up to her neck and

wrapped it around her body. Her eyes surveyed the room. The place was not familiar to her at all. It

looked like a hotel room. She closed her eyes, shook her head, and opened her eyes again. She

looked under the blanket that was wrapped around her body and confirmed that she was indeed naked

underneath.

“Oh Fuck, what happened?” She laboriously tried to recall last night’s events. She clearly remembered

that she booked a ride from her app and boarded the car. “What’s going on? Why am I here?” The

more she racked her brain for answers, the painful her head became.

“Ahhh!” She cannot help but let out a small scream from the frustration she felt.

She was yet to recover from her confusion and frustration when the balcony opened, and a man

walked in from it.

Serene looked at him, stunned. She surveyed the specimen in front of her. He was over six feet tall,

slim but firm. His neatly combed hair barely touched and tied at back. His facial features looked cold Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

and imposing. He got piercing eyes, and his nose was straight and his lips were thin and red. He was

wearing a navy business suit with a white shirt and a maroon tie. The clothes he wore were well ironed

and looked very expensive.

“Done ogling?” he smirked at her.

“Who are you? Why am I here? What did you do to me?” Serene asked one after the other.

“You got in my car last night. You were so drunk, so I brought you here. Don’t worry, I did not touch

you. I don’t fuck dead logs,” he answered matter-of-factly and in a somewhat overbearing way.

“Then why am I undressed?” Serene raised her brow as if to challenge him.

“I thought you did not want to sleep on your puke. So, I made you feel more comfortable. Anyway, I had

your clothes cleaned and are on the chair in the receiving area,” with that he walked towards the door

and left.

Serene looked dumbstruck, and it took a while for her to get up from the bed. She kept her gaze on the

door as she walked towards her clothes. Her clothes still felt warm, like they have just been ironed and

they also smelled freshly washed. She brought her clothes to the bathroom. She quickly took a bath,

tidied her face and dressed up.

She looked around the room for her bag and other belongings, which she quickly found on the sofa.

She took out her phone from her bag and checked the time. Eight O’clock in the morning. She still has

an hour to go to work.

“Ugh, I have no time to go back home to change” she complained inwardly. She walked towards the

door, but just as she was about to grab the door handle, it opened from the outside.

He stood in front of her and quickly surveyed her. As if satisfied with what he saw, his lips stretched to a

tiny smile that looked more like a smirk.

As he was looking at her, Serene was doing the same thing. Somehow this person looked familiar, but

she cannot recall where she met him. She’s quite good at remembering faces and names, but she

cannot put a finger on who this man was.

“Let’s grab breakfast before getting out of here,” it sounded more of a command than an invitation,

which made one of Serene’s brows rise involuntarily.

“Thank you for the offer but I need to head out already and go to work.” she smiled politely and added,

“Thank you as well for all the help you did last night. I apologize if I caused you any trouble. I’ll go

ahead”.

Without waiting for his retort, she immediately walked out of the door without looking back. She went

straight to the elevator which luckily was open and empty. Luck seemed to be on her side today

because she could find an available taxi as soon as she stepped out of the hotel.

She gave the taxi driver her destination and requested for him to hurry. She then looked out the window

of the taxi absentmindedly as she pondered on the identity of the man she saw this morning. “He did

not even say his name,” she complained. She cannot shake him off her mind. He really looked familiar

to her.

“I know I’ve seen you somewhere,” she muttered. She was in deep thought, trying to remember where

she saw this person. “He’s quite good looking, so it should be easy to remember him. Was he a model?

An actor? Nah, he can’t be a former classmate. I’d definitely remember him if he were,” she kept

muttering to herself.

Suddenly, the picture that she buried deep in her memories re-surfaced. As if on cue, flashes of

pictures played in her mind. He was naked, sitting at the edge of the bed, clutching the sheets. His

eyes were closed, and his head tilted back, moaning in satisfaction.

“OMG! It can’t be right” she covered her O-shaped mouth with her hand, her head shaking from

surprise and disbelief. He’s Bryan’s husband!
