Tempting My Rented Boyfriend - Chapter 129

Ch-128

“Who is he?” Edward asked.

“Martin,” Myna said without batting her eyelid. She needs to do this. If not, she knows how badly it hurts for a person when their feelings aren’t reciprocated. She needs to cut off the things at the roots themselves.

“What is the guarantee?” he asked.

“Eleanor can testify for you,” she said.

“Call her,” Edward said.

Edward liked Myna in the bar itself, but he never said it out loud. Because he thought that she was the same as others and never bothered about her after they met. Many things happened after the bar event.

But… Myna never showed up flashily or did anything. He became curious about her. He tried hard to find her, but he couldn’t. Did he want to know if she was not that greedy like Eleanor’s friends? Because he knew that all the friends Eleanor made were beautiful plastic faces. Which he loathes to his core! But despite his attraction towards her, he tried to ignore her.

But now seeing her working here, he was surprised. For real he was surprised, and his positive opinions on her vanished just like that. He wondered if she was using Eleanor. He tried to test her in the name of love. But… she surprised him again saying that she loved Martin. Then does that mean…. She was here for him? But he can’t trust her. He needs a person who can convince him thoroughly. But Myna was his sister-in-law’s best friend; he can’t be rash.

Since she said so confidently, then she should prove her innocence. But Edward overlooked the fact that he was being too nosy. Whether she was using Eleanor or not… was none of his business. It should be Cedric and Eleanor’s business. He failed to realize that he was putting his finger too much to the point that he was irritated to the point that he didn’t want to see her.

[Then why the hell did you say you love her?] his heart asked him.

[I am testing her.] Edward said.

[You shouldn’t poke your nose in her business.] his brain said.

[What do you mean?] he asked.

[This is none of your business! This is Cedric or Eleanor’s business.] his brain asked.

[they are my friends. Of course, I will not let them get hurt.] Edward reasoned.

[Why I am not satisfied with your words?] his brain commented.

[Shut up! You both!] he yelled.

[But you can’t deny the fact that she looked beautiful.] His heart commented.

[Oh… please… You all know I always praise beauty and just like that… I praised her simply.] he replied.

“Fuck!” Suddenly Edward heard Myna’s curse.

“My bag!” she uttered these words through her gritted teeth and knocked her head like an idiot.

“Dammit! I left it in the lab! And the chief won’t be back in another three hours! Dammit! I didn’t check the call for the past three days! She would strangle me! Myna…. Myna…. What did you do?” Myna was immersed in her self blame. She forgot the existence of Edward.

Edward: “…”

Edward felt a black crow was flying on his head. How could she forget his existence? She was so…. What word would suit her! Edward, come on think! Rude?! Yes! So rude of her to forget his existence! How dare she!

“How shall I call her? Damn! Martin moved! I only got to know that pervert Cedric sent his casanova friend Edward. But who will inform my Elle!” Myna couldn’t help but say her thoughts aloud as she forgot the existence of Edward.

Edward clenched his hand hard. His knuckles turned white. ‘This woman! She is getting on my nerves!’ he couldn’t help but think.

“I shall call her using some of the guards’ phones! That looks like a good idea! Hmmm… Myna you are smart!” she praised herself and even patted her shoulder proudly.

Turning around she got the biggest shock of her life.

Myna: “!!!!!”

The word shock was written on her face clearly! Oh, My God! He was still there!

Myna composed herself and cleared her throat. “What are you doing here?” Myna asked.

“WHAT!?!” Edward couldn’t help but scream at her.

This woman even forgot why he was here too! How could she!

“You forgot why I am here?!” Edward screamed.

Suddenly everything that happened earlier flashed in her brain. Realizing it, she looked at him.

“Give me your phone,” she asked like she was ordering him.

“What?” he said.

“Give me your phone! Don’t you want me to prove it to you!” she said.

Edward gave his phone in a blur. Oh, God. Why was he listening to her order?

“Lock?” she said, showing his phone. Like an obedient servant he put his finger and unlocked the phone.

Opening the calls app, she dialed Eleanor’s number and said the things that were important.

After that, she called the lab chief and asked him to come early to take her bag. After getting confirmation from him, she returned the phone to him. Yawning, she took a water bottle from her table and drank it.

“Doctor Myna,” a nurse came and called her.

“Hmmm?” she responded.

“Will you go home at least today?” the nurse asked. The nurse was a middle-aged woman, who was working in this hospital for a long while.

“Hmm… nope. There is a surgery for the patient on bed ten,” Myna said.

“Miss, you spent the last two days in the lab with the chief. And yesterday, you ran tests on the patient Martin Zora. And performed surgery at night. If this continues… you may not be able to perform surgery. You haven’t slept in these three days,” the nurse said.

“I will rest after today’s surgery. You may leave,” Myna said.

“Fine. Your wish. I brought breakfast for you. Have it,” the nurse said.

“Okay, Thanks Aunty,” Myna said with a smile but she yawned in the end.

“Take a nap after breakfast. Shall I turn the chair into the bed?” the nurse asked.

“Aunty that would be great,” Myna responded.

Myna went into the bathroom and freshened up. She looked fresh but still worn out. Edward, who was looking at her from start to end, felt bad for her.

[Did I judge her wrong?] he couldn’t help but ask himself.

[Don’t you want to confirm whether she is good or bad?] his brain reminded him.

[I didn’t!] he said. He realized he was having a soft corner at her. Shaking his head, he saw her savoring the food but still hurrying to eat it. It’s not like there was someone chasing her or would snatch her food.

Choking herself, Myna coughed loudly. Tears streamed out showing that the food blocked her trachea. He wanted to go forward and give her a water bottle, but she took the bottle by herself.

“It’s not that someone is chasing you. Eat slowly,” Edward said half-heartedly.

“I am a doctor, a second delay can put a patient’s life in danger,” Myna said and continued to eat hurriedly.

That’s when he realized the pressure of a doctor. But again, he shook his head and decided not to look at her or think of her.

After finishing the food, she threw the takeaway boxes in the trash can. She rinsed her mouth and went back to the chair where the nurse turned the single chair into the single bed. She lied down on it and closed her eyes. Edward was surprised at how quickly she fell asleep. But again, he felt pity for this woman. She worked in Martin’s lab for two days without sleep. He wondered if she really loved him? But on the other hand, he was surprised that a woman could be so dedicated.

[What if she shows all that love to me?] he thought in his mind.

Dammit! What am I even thinking?] he cursed himself and turned his head. He saw her sleeping face on the bed peacefully. But he could say that with those furrowed brows she was having difficulty sleeping. Closing the window curtains, door and he also turned off the light. He sat on the visitor seat as he watched her sleep in the darkroom. He could see she wasn’t furrowing her brows anymore.

Eleanor came to the hospital after one hour from the time she got a call from Myna. On the way, she got a coffee and breakfast for Myna. She can understand her gloomy mood from her tone. It means she doesn’t have enough sleep and food. So, she stopped in the middle. Going into a restaurant, she made the chef cook fresh food for her for the takeaway. And she stopped at a coffee shop and brought a coffee to her.

By the time she reached the hospital, it was past ten in the morning. Sighing… She carried the bags inside the hospital. The guards didn’t stop her despite her not being a part of Emerson’s. Because she was the future wife of Cedric. Everyone knew it. And her brother was admitted here.. They have no reason to stop her.
