Tempting My Rented Boyfriend - Chapter 128

Ch-127

Eleanor freshened up and got ready. She wanted to have a chat with Myna. A lot of things happened these days and she wondered how she was doing as she wasn’t online these days. She wasn’t even picking her calls. Eleanor was dead worried about her. She was free today, so she decided to visit her apartment after her breakfast. As Cedric and his father would come to their house for lunch. She needs to be here to arrange preparations. So… she needs to inform the office about her absence.

Aiyah… she would care about everything after her breakfast. First, her stomach was growling in protest. She needs to calm it down. Eleanor wore a white knee-length frock printed with large black checks. She complimented her dress with a brown leather belt. She tied her hair into a bun. She wore feather earrings that complemented her dress and her fashion sense. Unlike usual, she wore orange lipstick today. She painted her nails in brown color and matched them with her belt color. She complemented her dress by wearing a pair of brown heels. She looked different but beautiful. With a single look, she created a pure, delicate yet strong persona with her dress.

“Dad… what happened?” Eleanor asked, seeing his father frowning.

“Nothing… I checked my horoscope today horoscope. It said that I will listen to unexpected news. Wondering what it is,” he said to her.

“Dad… don’t believe that stuff. Let’s have breakfast,” she said sitting on the armrest of the couch he was sitting on. Kissing his cheek she greeted him good morning.

“Fine… let’s go,” he said.

They both went to the dining table and started eating their food. Today their menu was pancakes with double egg and a glass of pear juice.

“Dad, I’m going to meet Myna. It’s been a while Since I met her. I didn’t meet her after the presentation with the Callan group.” Eleanor said.

“Hmm… I already informed the company about your absence,” he said.

“Thanks, Dad,” Eleanor said.

“Try to be regular at the office. If you want to run something, you need to be punctual, diligent, and hardworking. You took a lot of leaves,” he commented.

“I will keep this in mind,” she said.

“You shall. Sean Campbell is trying to make moves to make our company lose and get more shares under him. He is spreading rumors that Martin won’t wake up soon,” Aiden said.

“I will take care of it,” Eleanor said.

“I trust you. The five-year meeting is in two months. You have to get prepared for that,” Aiden warned about the upcoming calamity.

She nodded.

“I will take my leave then,” Eleanor said.

“Careful,” he said. Kissing his cheek, she bid bye to him before leaving.

Aiden was being cooked in the pot of cuteness when Eleanor kissed him on his cheek.

“I shall not wash my face till she gives me another kiss,” he murmured.

“That would be a bad idea, Sir,” Eric’s voice sounded from the back.

Aiden was shocked at his words. Damn!

“When did you come?” Aiden asked.

“I am present from the start, Sir. You just ignored me,” Eric said.

“Sir, you are ignoring me these days. You used to be aware of my presence at least, Sobs~ No one cares me,” Eric started his million-dollar drama.

Aiden gave him a dirty look when he saw his million-dollar drama shaking his head. “Tell me why it was a bad idea?” he asked.

“What if My Lady finds you dirty and doesn’t want to kiss? That is bad. Sir, you must keep yourself clean and neat. So that My Lady would feel you are tidy you can get loads of kisses,” Eric said.

Aiden nodded as he understood the meaning of his words.

“So… what is the situation with the Emerson family?” he asked.

“Sir, Stephen made numerous calls asking me what do you and My Lady would like. I gave him a big list and made him believe that you like a lot of things. Poor people would buy a lot of things. Pick on the things they bought whatever they give you as gifts,” Eric said.

Aiden gave him a big thumbs up for being too smart. Eric suddenly felt he could become the country Advisor. He felt regretful for being a butler and wasting his intelligence. Sigh…. He sighed heavily and went to follow his master.

Unlike Regan, Aiden asked the staff to prepare Eleanor’s favorite food. And asked them to make desserts with fruits. After giving instructions he went to study.

Eleanor, who was driving to Myna’s house, got a call. Eleanor furrowed her brows when she saw the new number. Nevertheless, she picked the call and greeted the person on the other side.

“Hello,” she said.

“Babe, come to the hospital where your brother is admitted,” Myna’s voice came.

“Hey, Idiot! Where the hell are you? I have called you, messaged you, dropped voice messages, and so on! But you didn’t pick the calls! Now I decided to visit your apartment. If I can’t find you there… I am thinking of reporting to the police station! And you have the gall to call me and order me to come to the hospital! I need an explanation!” Eleanor yelled at her.

“Calm down! It’s about your brother! He moved his fingers. Come here first. I will tell everything,” Myna said.

“What!?” Eleanor was surprised.

“Don’t what me! First, come here! Right now!” Myna yelled and hung the call.

Myna almost smashed her phone in her hands feeling frustrated. “Miss, that’s my phone,” Edward said, frowning his brows.

“You think I can’t pay for your phone! So annoying!” Myna threw the phone on Edward and was about to turn around.

Cedric was investigating the reason behind Martin’s accident. He found many people were involved in it. He just couldn’t understand how Martin could make so many enemies in five years. They were together for many years, from what he knew about him there shouldn’t be any enemies for him. Then…. Were they missing any details?

When he was about to dig information about Martin’s accident as the Mafia boss. As his second in hand, he called Edward and told everything about the details. Handing the case to Edward to take care of the things, he left the place. He went directly to his office. The moment he entered, Mark showered him with a meeting schedule and he got immersed in it.

When he was in the meeting, he got a message saying that Martin showed some movement. As he was immersed in the meeting, he messaged Edward to go. While he decided to go after the meeting.

Meanwhile….

Edward rushed to the hospital the moment he received the message from Cedric. He was guided to the doctor’s office by a nurse. But that’s when all hell broke. There he saw a beautiful woman, who made his mind go crazy.

“Sir, she is the doctor,” the nurse said.

“Oh…” Edward responded drooling.

From the time he saw her in the bar during their first meet, he felt that Myna transformed herself from a cocoon to a beautiful butterfly. Oh, My God! He wants to wrap her in a blanket and hide her in his bed, keeping her in his arms.

“Mr. Callan, follow me,” Myna said in a polite tone. Hearing her voice, Edward’s heart fluttered like a bird. He wondered if his heart would fly away if it had wings.

[Woah… such a beauty. She stole me from you. Get her heart from her chest.] his heart said to him.

“Beautiful,” he blurted out suddenly.

“What?” Myna asked.

“You look beautiful, Miss,” he said with a naughty smirk.

“Do you want to see the patient or not?” she asked, feeling impatient. She heard the news about him being a playboy. How could she not know about his methods?

“I, myself a patient,” he said dreamily, falling on her.

“What?” Myna asked.

“You stole my heart. Now… I need the heart to survive. I want yours,” he said to her cheekily.

“God! Are you insane!?” she couldn’t help snap at him.

“Nope! I am not insane. I just found the meaning for my life. And that means you,” Edward said, placing his hand on his chest.

Myna rolled her eyes at him. “Follow me,” she said and started walking ahead.

“I want to follow you till the end of my life,” he said, catching up with her pace.

Myna turned red at his words. Edward couldn’t decipher if she was red with anger or shy. But he decided to consider the latter.

“Babe, you are shy. That’s good,” he said as he gave a cheeky smile to her.

“Sir, are you done with your teasing?” Myna couldn’t help but feel irritated.

“I am not teasing. I am confessing my love to you,” he said with a smile.

“That’s not love. And I already love someone. And that someone is your friend too! Don’t bother me. I might be your future-sister-in-law,” Myna said, bursting his just-built bubble.

Edward was shocked. Shocked was an understatement. He was beyond shocked.
