Making the second male lead fall in love with me, the villainess Chapter 213 - 211: Love Nest IV

Chapter 213 - 211: Love Nest IV

When their laughter died down, they both decided that it was time for lunch. Serena, feeling uncomfortable with the stickiness on her body and between her legs told Charlton that she will take a shower. Charlton nodded and said that he will heat the food while she's at it as he was already feeling hungry.

Anyway, when Serena went down the stairs and entered the dining room, the dining utensils and the food have already been laid out on the table. The mess they made has also been wiped clean.

"Come sit down, let's eat." Charlton, who came out of the kitchen wearing his pants but with his upper torso bare, said.

Serena took a moment to appreciate his upper body complete with abdominal muscles first. Then she asked, "Did you wash yourself?" she wondered if he's not feeling sticky down there.

Charlton chuckled then he tapped her nose, "I did wipe myself but worry not, I will go wash myself after we have lunch."

Serena can only laugh as she took her seat. Charlton sat beside her, and they started having lunch. They ate with much gusto, not really knowing if the food tasted better this time or they were just too hungry.

After lunch, the two went upstairs. Charlton decided to wash himself first, while Serena brushed her teeth. When they were both done, they went inside their bedroom and another round of intense lovemaking ensued.

Serena reached climax multiple times until she lost consciousness. Charlton proud of his work, pulled her to his chest spooning her as he too followed to dreamland.

When Serena gained consciousness, she noticed that Charlton was already sitting on the bed his back leaning on the headboard. He was wearing eyegla.s.ses while reading some doc.u.ments.

She mumbled, "How long have I been asleep?"

Charlton whose eyes were glued on the paper used his right hand to caress her hair, "just over an hour. Rest some more."

Serena scooted closer to snuggle on his waist. "What are you reading?"

"The 2nd draft of the contract sent by Lucas. Sorry for doing this now. It's just that we're meeting tomorrow, and I need to be prepared. I'm not so sure if I can still manage to read this when we get back to the dorms" Charlton explained.

Serena shook her head as she smiled, "It's okay. What time are you meeting tomorrow?"

"Sometime before noon hopefully. I will need to travel to Normandy as his company is located there and he requested that I give it an ocular." He explained as he took off his eyegla.s.ses to pinch the bridge of his nose.

"Normandy?" Serena asked. She read about it, but she doesn't exactly know how long it would take to get there from school.

"Yes, it's about 4 to 5 hours travel by carriage from our school. I wanted to invite you to come along, but then I realized that the travel back and forth would take almost 10 hours. You would only suffer. Besides given the time constraint, we won't even be able to make stop overs to enjoy the scenery." He said as he turned to face her.

Serena giggled, "Well, now that you said that, I guess I won't be joining you and can only wish you luck for tomorrow." Just thinking about the long carriage ride already made her feel dizzy, so she definitely won't join him. Anyway, her eyes caught sight of the other doc.u.ments stacked on the nightstand by Charlton's side. Curious, she asked. "What are those?"

"Other doc.u.ments Edward handed me earlier. The envelopes which I haven't had the time to open yet were sent by Thomas, Ben, and Alexander. There is also the list of names with corresponding songs and sheet music Edward shortlisted. He asked me to choose which ones I wish to work on first." He replied as he wore his eyegla.s.ses again.

"I see." She said as she began to rise from the bed.

"Where are you going?" he asked.

"To the bathroom." she replied as she took a towel. She needs to wash herself and brush her teeth. What? That's the normal thing to do after waking up after what they did.

Anyway, Charlton nodded his head as he continued reading while smiling. When he woke up, he had to wash up too. He knew how obsessed she was with hygiene.

When Serena came back inside the room, Charlton was already sitting by the vanity. He was marking the doc.u.ment and writing some comments. As she has nothing better to do, she decided to look at the other doc.u.ments.

"Charlton, would you mind if I look through these?" she asked. She knew that he was being meticulous with the contract sent by Lucas because of how sensitive newspaper business was.

"Not at all, please, go ahead." Charlton responded.

Serena chose to open the envelope sent by Thomas. She was most curious about the railway. She first looked through the contract, and as Charlton told her, there's that 20% share and it does seem like the contract was already good. Though Charlton should need to double check, she was no lawyer and she's not the great with legal works.

Anyway, aside from the contract, there were other doc.u.ments inside. She looked through them, one was an information sheet regarding the train that will run on the railway. It described the mechanics of the train. Also, it gave some explanation on how it will give convenience and shorten the travel time from one place to another. The train will run using steam locomotive engine wherein it would be able to run at 30 miles per hour. Pretty slow if you ask her but considering that a horse carriage can only go for about 4 miles an hour plus all the jostling inside, it was a great leap forward.

The next thing she looked through was the plan. The estimated completion time of the project was at one to one and a half year after commencement. The track that will be built would be 160 miles long. It would start from the capital, and will be pa.s.sing through 8 other towns until it reaches the endpoint which was in Sienna.

Suddenly recalling geography, she had to ask, "Charlton, how far is Sienna from Suffox?"

Charlton stopped from writing to answer. "About 4 hours journey by carriage. Why?" He replied.

Serena grinned, "I'll tell you later after you're done with what you're working on."
