Chapter 5 You Can Draw?
906 Words
Skyler didn't like others to call Piper "Madam" by others. The first time his assistant saw her, he called her "Madam", which made Skyler change his expression immediately. From then on, his assistant honestly called Piper Ms. Richard.
Skyler was 6 feet tall, so even if they held him, they would not feel good. Piper helped him lie down in the room and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
The assistant didn't dare to tell the truth, so he said vaguely, "Skyler seems to have gone to eat Italian food."
Hearing this, Piper understood.
She stopped asking and nodded to indicate that she understood. There was no medicine at home, and Skyler didn't like to go to the hospital. She told his assistant to buy several kinds of medicines. She went to get a glass of warm water and went back to the room.
"Drink some water and you'll feel much better. I asked Liam to buy some medicine. Wait a minute, he'll be back soon." Piper put the glass of water in his hand and said in a gentle voice. She didn't need to know why Skyler ate Italian food.
"Thank you." Skyler took the water. The temperature was just right. After swallowing it, it seemed that it could really relieve some of the pain. He no longer frowned.
For a moment, they were silent.
"You can draw?" Thinking of the painting he had just seen when he entered the door, Skyler raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"I learned a little when I was a child." Piper didn't want to continue this topic. "I'm going to see if Liam is back."
Although she had already guessed that Skyler had eaten Italian food with Marina, it did not mean that she would not feel uncomfortable. At this moment, being in the same room with Skyler made her feel depressed, so she could only make up an excuse to go out.
Skyler suddenly called her.
He rubbed the cup, and even the water temperature was deliberately adjusted by Piper before she gave it to him. He felt a rare sense of guilt in his heart. "You drew well."
"Thank you." Piper nodded and smiled at him. "It's cold, right? I'll get you another glass of water."
Skyler handed her the cup. When their hands touched, Skyler's hand was hot while Piper's fingertips were cold. The moment they touched, Piper quickly withdrew her hand.
"The weather is bad. Put on more clothes." It was rare for Skyler to show concern, which made Piper widen her eyes.
Even her calf, which had been hurting faintly because of the bad weather, was no longer in so much pain.
She felt sad. No matter how cold Skyler was to her, as long as he showed a little kindness to her, she couldn't help but soften her heart and tell herself that she could hold on a little longer.
Maybe Skyler would fall in love with her if she held on a little longer.
The medicine was quickly bought. Generally speaking, this medicine had a calming effect. Skyler felt sleepy after taking it for a while. He told his assistant some things about the company. In recent months, he had been very busy. It was not easy for him to have a chance to rest, so he soon fell asleep.
Piper had nothing to do. She rarely spent time with Skyler except at night or on some specific dates. She suddenly felt a little uncomfortable being alone with him.
Skyler rarely smiled at her, which made him look a little unreasonable.
But Piper knew how beautiful his smile was.
She carefully moved the drawing tools and put them back in place. Then she took off her shoes and walked barefoot to tuck him in. After that, she sat down again and drew on the paper with a charcoal pen.
Her sketch was good. After Skyler fell asleep, Piper drew for him. She hadn't drawn for so many years. Unexpectedly, when she picked it up again, it was not as bad as she had imagined.
Piper looked at her painting with satisfaction. She felt that it was a pity that Skyler was not interested in her. He felt that her painting was unprofessional, but it was a pity to throw it away like this. After thinking about it for a while, Piper folded the painting and put it in a file bag on the bookshelf.
Skyler didn't wake up naturally because a call woke him up.
Piper heard the sound of Skyler putting on his clothes when she was cooking. Because he had just woken up, his voice was a little hoarse and sounded a little impatient. "... What time? I'll be right there."
"What's wrong?" Piper walked over and asked.
Skyler said with bloodshot eyes, "Something happened in the company. I'll go and have a look."
"Be careful on the way back. Come back early." Piper didn't ask any more questions and just reminded him.
Skyler nodded and quickly put on his clothes. Piper found a new tie for him to tie. There was only a floor lamp in the room, and the light was affectionate and gentle. For some reason, it became a little ambiguous, which diluted the indifference in Skyler's eyes.
For some reason, Piper wanted to tiptoe and kiss him.
However, Skyler quickly avoided her.
"Stop it, Piper." The cold voice quickly pulled Piper back to reality.
