Lu Ling was woken up by a phone call. She squinted and reached for the bedside table, but the phone was hit directly to the floor. The shaking didn't stop, and she could only half-get up and bend down to pick it up. Then when her hand touched her phone, she snapped to her senses.

At the same time, Pat's voice reached her ears, "What's wrong, Tina......"

She realizes that everything that happened last night is real. In fact, she was lying on Pat's bed without an inch.

She picked up her phone and replied, "It's Tim's call, I need to answer it." ”

It wasn't until she heard Tim's voice that Lu Ling remembered that she told Tim yesterday that she was going to have a morning meeting with him today, and she completely forgot about it.

Damn it.

"I'm sorry, Tim. I slept. Perhaps, forty minutes?"

As she said this, Patrick put his arm around her and kissed her on the shoulder, expressing his displeasure with the timing.

She moved her shoulders and said, "Maybe an hour......

He was still protesting with his movements. Lu Ling was a little helpless, "If we change it to the afternoon, can you?" Okay, then see you in the afternoon." I'm so sorry, Tim. ”

As soon as she hung up, Patrick pressed down on her.

"Good morning, Tina. He said with a smile and staring into her eyes. She looked a little haggard, but more languid and seductive.

She looked at him too, his hair was a little messy, but he looked sexy when he just woke up.

She touched his handsome face, and the expression on his face could perhaps be called happiness.

Oh, and beyond that, it's very energetic.

Lu Ling pursed her lips, they didn't sleep until four or five o'clock in the morning, and now that only three or four hours had passed, she felt that he was full of interest again.

"Good morning, monster. (r)" She zigzaged her tone, with a hint of teasing.

"Monsters?" he asked, the expression on his face smug, "I kind of like you calling me that." ”

She held his face, looked into his eyes, and muttered, "Pat, last night, probably a mistake. ”

He was still smiling, his voice full of ridicule and pride, "You mean a lot of mistakes?"

Yes, a lot of bugs. Lu Ling smiled, thinking of some pictures, a little shy, but full of joy.

"What can I say? I slept with my players. As she said this, her brows furrowed little by little, and her black eyes were full of mockery of herself. Maybe a little dazed.

Thank God that there is no remorse. Patrick kissed her on the lips and whispered, "Tina, you're not sleeping with your players, you're me, it's different." ”

"What's the difference? I can't un* you anyway. She continued to laugh at herself.

"Un*?" Patrick tilted his head and looked at her lovingly, "That's a good word. You really can't. Also, you love those mistakes, don't you?" his hand slid over her smooth skin, and the touch was addictive.

She raised her eyebrows, and yes, she did.

She put her arms around his neck and they began to kiss.

****

When Lu Ling woke up again, it was already noon.

When she opened her eyes, Patrick was looking at her with his beautiful blue eyes.

She was taken aback, though, it was sweet.

"You're awake, my Sleeping Beauty. He kissed her on the forehead, and his voice was gentle.

Lu Ling squinted, she always felt a little strange to be treated like this by a twenty-year-old boy.

"What do you want me to call you, little prince?" she said, tugging at the quilt and sitting up.

He pouted and said, "Oh Tina, never call me that again." That sounds like it's definitely not me. ”

She shrugged, she really didn't look like the little prince's guy. She told him to turn around, and he shook his head.

"I've got to go to your closet and find a piece of clothing to put on. ”

"I didn't stop you. ”

"Then you are not allowed to look at it. ”

"Can I touch it?"

"Hey—"

This probably wasted ten minutes of Lu Ling's time. She finally put on his shirt. The dress I took off last night is still downstairs.

But Patrick held her again and wouldn't let her go, this time she didn't compromise, she couldn't change the schedule with Tim again. She had to go home and take a shower, then grab a bite to eat, and then head to Harrington. There is not a lot of time.

The season isn't quite over yet, they still have an extremely important game to play.

That's what it's like to be a manager, unless you're fired, you don't have to take a really long vacation. Lu Ling didn't want such a long vacation.

But in any case, she will have about two weeks off this summer. She hadn't figured out how to spend it yet.

After she found her dress downstairs and put it on, Zoe ran to her lap and she crouched down and touched her.

Patrick complained as he went downstairs, "Tina, it's not fair that you have time for her, but you don't have time to give me a kiss." ”

She stood up, and he had walked in front of her.

"I don't want you to get out of bed at all. He pulled her into his arms, put his arms around her waist, and rubbed the tip of her nose, "Actually, I'm already thinking about you." ”

She kissed him on the lips, "I'll be back in the evening, and there will be an award ceremony from the LMA (League Coaches Association) in the evening." ”

"You know you can take a shower here, and we can ...... together," he said, reaching into her clothes.

Lu Ling enjoyed his touch, but if she continued, she would be late. She pushed him away before he could get an inch, "You don't have my things, it's easier for me to go home." ”

She walked to the door and heard him say behind her, "Then you will bring your things tonight." ”

She looked back with a slight smile, "HMM, I haven't promised to go on a first date, and I haven't promised to be your girlfriend, you're ready to jump straight to cohabitation?"

"Otherwise, don't think of last night as a onenightstand. ”

Lu Ling shrugged with a smile and walked out of his house.

Of course it won't be like that. It's just, it's complicated. She didn't want to think about it for a while.

****

When Lu Ling arrived at the office, a large bouquet of roses followed. This surprised her and made her a little embarrassed.

There is no signature, but there is a card.

"Hopefully it's not delivered too late, and I'm crazy about missing you. ”

Who else could it be but the guy who doesn't like to be called the Little Prince?

After that, her phone rang as well.

"Roger?"

"Yes. ”

"Do you like it?"

"Of course. ”

"You go to work, I'm ready to go for a run. See you later. Love you, Tina. ”

"Okay, I'll see you later. ”

Lu Ling hung up the phone with a smile. Did she fall in love again? But she knew she was happy. As he told her, Nick wasn't the only one who could make her happy, he could.

However, her mind stayed on his "love you" ......

****

Tim's gaze was strange. Lu Ling felt uncomfortable, as if he was not wearing clothes. He knew so much that it might be easy to guess something. As much as she trusts him, she's not ready to leave her private life completely open to her ex-boyfriend and teaching assistant. That would be weird.

"You must have slept with someone last night. Tim finally said after they had finished talking.

Lu Ling stared at the screen of the iPad silently, did not look up, and asked, "Why are you so sure?"

"First, you don't come to work until the afternoon. You're a workaholic, and that kind of thing almost never happens to you. Second, you're a very glorious person. As for the third, how do you explain the bouquet of roses?"

"Tim, talk to you about this, I'll think you're my d. Lu Ling glanced at him with a smile.

"You know I'm not, and Monica knows I'm not. He paused, guessing, "So, is it Patrick? You seemed to be the last to leave last night." ”

"I'm not going to answer that question. Lu Ling wanted to divert the topic.

But Tim had already taken the initiative to say something else, "Well, I hope your good mood continues, and I mean tonight's LMA awards ceremony." Although the competitors are strong. ”

Lu Ling put down his ipad with a strange expression, "This may not be my season." ”

After Tim left, Lu Ling called Steve. She wants to have a conference call with Nathan Neal about a contract, and if not, she wants Steve to go to New York, and she doesn't want to waste her precious time meeting with Americans. Although they are talking about extremely serious things.

Steve's advice was that she would have to meet Nathan Neill in person anyway.

They're talking about a big contract. Initially, it can be up to three years, and the annual salary may be as high as four million pounds. That's eight times her current annual salary. Of course, there are countless details to be discussed.

Americans are so sincere that they really want to create an era of Lawrence and Lu.

Lu Ling sighed, she thought she would call Nate again, he wasn't going to fly over to see the FA Cup final, anyway, he had more private jets than the sports cars of the big stars.

Nathan Neal flew back to the United States last night.

He said on the phone: "I really want to see the FA Cup final, but I've been really busy lately and I can't make it. I want your contract to be finalized before you go on vacation, so you really have to come to Manhattan. Don't worry, I won't do anything to you, as much as I want to, but I'm afraid Pat will kill me. ”

Looks like she has to go.

****

When Lu Ling returned home, it was almost six o'clock. She called Patrick on the way, and his voice sounded excited.

She got out of the car and saw him.

"How was your afternoon?" he asked.

"It's busy. Nate was sure I couldn't come to London lately, and I might really have to go to New York. Maybe after the FA Cup......" Lu Ling said as he opened the door, "it's still undecided." Steve will go first. ”

Patrick followed her into the house and closed the door.

Lu Ling took off his coat and hung it up, there was no longer that coat there.

"I'll go too. He said.

She looked back and thought for a moment, "Oh yes, your contract has to be renegotiated." ”

"No, that's not important. The point is, I don't want to see you and Nate alone in a city you're not familiar with. ”

She laughed, "You can trust me. And, there's Steve. ”

"I know. I'll go with me anyway. His tone was a little childish.

He hugged her from behind, and then his voice changed, "Miss me?"

She turned around, smiled and kissed him on the lips.

"I'd be lying to you if I said no. ”

This answer seemed to satisfy him, perhaps too satisfied......

He hugged her tightly, kissed her hair and neck, and whispered in her ear, "Tina, Tina, I'll be all about you when you're gone." ”

She leaned back slightly, feeling his touch. It's just that she's running out of time.

"Pat, I need to go change my clothes. She said.

"Good. He agreed, but didn't stop. In fact, he unbuttoned her underwear through her shirt.

"Stop, Pat. You don't want to see me late for the awards ceremony, do you?"

Patrick reluctantly let her go.

"Hopefully you'll win the award. He hesitated, then added, "Do I need to worry? I mean Flores will be there." 166 Reading Network
