Chapter 72

Mercer glanced at Calla coldly and said, “There’s no need. I’m in a rush.”

+15 BONUS

When she saw that he was about to leave, nervousness took over her. She stepped forward to block him.” Even if you’re in a rush, you need to eat. I’ve already prepared it.”

Mercer had just started, “–”

But Calla yanked Mercer’s hand and pulled him toward the table. She took his briefcase from him and said, “Eat quickly. It won’t take more than a few minutes of your time.”

He scanned the dishes on the table, including the breakfast burrito and smoothie bowl. Mercer pursed his lips. He couldn’t withstand the hunger he was feeling, so he sat down and began eating breakfast.

He couldn’t complain. It didn’t taste half bad. Rather than hurrying off, he sat at the dining table and had a large meal.

Calla sat opposite him with her cheek propped on her hand.

Mercer looked extremely elegant even when eating. He sat up straight and stared forward unblinkingly. He chewed quietly and said nothing like a dignified prince. It was fun for Calla to watch him eat.

However, the room was too quiet. Calla couldn’t help but say, “Breakfast is an integral part of your day. especially for someone like you, who needs to work through the morning. If you don’t eat, you’re at risk of gastric problems. And-”

Mercer suddenly looked up and complained, “Can’t you let me have some peace for a moment? You’re like a fly buzzing around my ear first thing in the morning.

When she heard that, Calla pursed her lips and mumbled under her breath, “If I were a fly, you’d be a rotten egg!”

Mercer regarded her seriously. “What did you say?”

Calla hurriedly pushed her hair back and replied hesitantly, “Oh, nothing much. I shouldn’t be hovering around you like a fly is all.”

Mercer then said, “I’m going to Havaria for a business trip. My flight departs at 9:00 am.”

Calla paused for a moment before asking. “Why so sudden?”

His eyes showed no hint of emotion as he responded, “It was confirmed last night”

Calla was a little bewildered by his sudden announcement of a business trip. She asked, “How long will you be gone? When will you be back?”

He thought for a while before saying, “In about three to four days. If anything happens, you can call Ally.”

Calla nodded and found herself saying, “Oh.”

Mercer soon finished his meal and wiped his mouth elegantly with a napkin. He reached for the briefcase in Calla’s hand. But Calla suddenly tightened her hold on the briefcase and wouldn’t let go.

Mercer furrowed his brows in response, questioning. “What else do you need?”

Calla looked around the residence and said stiffly, “I don’t really like the interior design of this place. Can I

make some alterations?

When he heard that, Mercer’s expression returned to normal. He looked up at the ceiling and stated, ” You’re the lady of the household now. As long as you don’t demolish it, you can do whatever you want!” Upon receiving his permission, Calla was ecstatic. She stood up immediately and handed his briefcase to him while exclaiming. “Here you go!”

At this moment, the grin on Calla’s face seemed to glow. It made Mercer hesitate for a second before accepting the briefcase from her.

He resolved to turn around and leave, barely managing to suppress the urge to look back and have one last glance at that face of hers.

After Mercer left, Calla began refurbishing the residence.

She wondered which designer worked on the interior and selected furniture for the place. The whole place was filled with nothing but black and white. Not only did it seem icy and stiff, it also created a sense of repression.

However, the interior design and the furniture couldn’t be changed. Calla could only put up a few decorative pieces to make up for the lack of color.
