Chapter 7

Ara Like a Ghost

A struggle ensued, both of them drifting in an intoxicating paradise, not only did their bodies betray them, their hearts and minds were also starting to become out of sync, those who initially disliked Raymond's coercion now seemed to allow their Master to touch their bodies, even their hands were perfectly wrapped around their owner's neck.

Both of them got incomparable pleasure, both of them collapsed weakly with ragged breaths. Raymond, tired, closed his eyes while Ara was still awake while thinking back to what had happened.

A faint knocking sound was heard from outside, Ara immediately got up to open the door, in front of the door there was already a hotel waiter bringing food for them.

"Let me take it in." Ara's hand held the trolley table that the waiter was about to bring in.

"Yes, Miss," replied the waiter.

ara immediately brought the trolley table in, she placed all the food on the table then returned the trolley table to the waiter. "Thank you."

Entering the room again and seeing the various dishes on the table, Ara swallowed hard, clutching her stomach. She turned to look at Raymond, who was sleeping soundly. Despite being very hungry, Ara didn't dare eat, afraid that Raymond would be angry if she ate first.

Nothing was done finally Ara returned to bed, she wanted to follow Raymond to the dreamland but the worms in her stomach could not be compromised, they were inside as if protesting to Ara. "Shall I just eat first?" She shook her head, holding back her hunger was much better than making the Master angry. "Just wait for him to wake up."

Suddenly there was movement, Raymond who was initially lying on his back was now leaning towards her and his hand even fell right on her stomach.

The very close distance made Ara look awkward until Ara slowly tried to remove Raymond's hand.

For some reason, the hand seemed unwilling to move until Ara just resigned herself to being hugged by her Master.

Crucuk.....Crucuk

Once again, the worms in his stomach protested profusely, leaving Ara at a loss for what to do. "I'm so hungry." Ara's words and movements disturbed Raymond's sleep, causing him to finally open his eyes.

"What are you doing?"

For a moment Ara was scared, she was afraid that Raymond would be angry with her. "Forgive me, Sir."

The man just realized that his arms were wrapped perfectly around the girl's stomach, and their bodies were very close. "How can I sleep like this?" A flash of wonder appeared on Ara's face, she also didn't know why her Master was sleeping while hugging her.

"I don't know Sir."

"It must have been you who pulled my hand.

"The vile accusations coming out of Raymond's mouth made Rara stare blankly at her Master, why did he do all that? "I didn't do it, Master, it was your own hand that was wrapped around my stomach."

"How is that possible?" Raymond continued to evade.

Actually, Raymond also understood that he often hugged Ara while sleeping, but because of his pride and shame, he deliberately made his wife a scapegoat so that his self-esteem would not fall.

After returning from abroad, his strange feelings for the girl grew. Ara was like a ghost constantly haunting Raymond's mind. Every time he wanted to do something, her image was always there, making this cold man uncertain.

"Sir, the meeting is about to start." David's report startled him, making the man grumble. "Next time, knock first." Wrinkles crept onto the assistant's forehead. David had been knocking on the door for a while, but there was no response from inside.

During the meeting, Raymond's thoughts were once again occupied by his little girl, even the work partner presenting before him seemed like his little girl, ara. 'Ara!' Raymond sharpened his vision slightly and it wasn't Ara.

All the meeting participants saw Raymond's unusual movements, their president's facial expression looked restless and uncertain, even the president wiped his face several times.

"Sir, are you okay?" David finally asked the question he had been holding back.

Raymond stood up and asked that their meeting be postponed until tomorrow because he wasn't feeling well. "David, reschedule the meeting for tomorrow."

"Without saying anything else, Raymond left the meeting room.

Being followed by Ara's shadow really made Raymond lose focus, to the point that he accidentally signed in the wrong place so that David had to make another file.

"Sir, this is the second file, please don't sign it wrong again." Not understanding what his assistant meant, Raymond frowned, "What do you mean?

"You have the wrong signature, sir."

As much as possible, Raymond pushed away Ara's shadow, but the more he tried to push it away, the more the shadow forced its way in and made Raymond even more frustrated.

Her two beautiful eyes continued to stare at the time machine wrapped around her hand, but time seemed to stop.

"Is this watch normal or not! Why hasn't it changed anything?" Not only was the assistant the target of his anger, inanimate objects were also affected.

Unable to resist the urge to meet the girl, Raymond ordered David to have lunch at home.

"How unusual, sir, for you to have lunch at home." Instead of an answer, he received a deadly glare from his master.

David immediately nodded and apologized because perhaps his question had offended his master.

"Forgive me, sir."

"I'm in the mood to eat at home, food at home is healthier than food outside." David was right.

-really stunned by Raymond's answer, since when did Raymond compare food at home and food outside the home? Even when Raymond eats out, David always makes sure everything is good and healthy to consume.

"From now on we eat at home.

"David could only nod without comment, okay if it was just breakfast but for lunch and dinner, sometimes they were still outside which clearly made it impossible to go home.

"Tell Ara to prepare my lunch!"
