(Chapter 121) No Lady Luck Tonight

By now Anya was already asleep and the older members of the family were just sitting in a conversation or watching something. So Astrid walked to her room with Lewis with no interruptions.

"Well... Make yourself at home." Astrid said as she quickly went to her desk and started up her computer.

Lewis nodded and smiled. Astrid didn't seem to know a man's brain when it came to things like this. But he would restrain himself, and just look around in pure curiosity.

Astrid then went to work, zoning out what Lewis was doing behind her. Just because of the fact she trusted him enough to be in her room. So she didn't need to think about what he was doing.

Lewis didn't do much, he noticed the bed was quite big. Big enough for the both of them... But he saw her wardrobe and opened it in curiosity.

"..." He then closed it. The clothes in there were numerous, and many of them still had tags on... He immediately recognized that Mrs. Tuhs spoiled her daughter tons when it came to clothes, but Astrid just didn't have a care for fashion on most days.

Astrid's room was relatively simple, a bed, wardrobe, side drawers with lights on the side... It had an ensuite. But that was as advance as it got.

Maybe the most interesting part of the room was the fact the wall was pastel pink. With a super soft white carpet. But Lewis knew this room probably had been redecorated multiple times, it was just the walls that stayed the same color.

Astrid kept the walls and carpet the same color just so she could remind herself that she was in a new life. She was too used to sleeping in a blindingly white room, or even a drab grey.

So Lewis then took a seat behind Astrid and decided to watch her do her work. just watching her he could feel how impressive she was, the speed she typed at alone showed the computer skills she had. That was probably past this world.

Astrid then slowly read through the reports she accessed and made changes in the documents, advising but delegating. She was planning on making expansions to her other businesses, but keep the main hub in Italy for now.

She needed to make sure people across the countries her businesses operate in all knew the same knowledge at the same time. That she was the big boss! And that Auxil is the hub company. She was planning on keeping Hanxi a separate entity as the business had too much history to suddenly become a part of another business of hers. She also had another plan regarding Hanxi.

Astrid took 2 hours working out her plans and sending out instructions around the world.

Astrid then stopped typing and looked behind her. Seeing that Lewis was sitting just behind her so quietly watching, she felt guilty.

"Done?" Lewis asked with a smile, he felt like he actually learned a lot just watching Astrid. Sure they did work together, but they were often too busy to watch what each other did. But watching Astrid even made him feel he could still improve...

Astrid nodded solemnly, "I'm sorry for just leaving you." Astrid apologized as she turned off the computer.

Lewis shook his head and stood up. "Silly, you are the busiest woman in this world. I can't be the reason why your companies start to crash can't I?" Astrid then stood up with a guilty look.

"I guess... It's just that..." Astrid was going to say more, until her lips were completely covered.

Lewis kissed with vigor, exploring her mouth with his tongue, by now, they both were experienced enough with this thing to quickly react to each other. Astrid explored and twisted her tongue around Lewis's mouth. While also using her hands to undo the shirt Lewis had on.

Lewis had been keeping a fire inside him the entire time he was in Astrid's bedroom. He could only feel her presence in the room. And it was driving him mad. Especially her smell. He could smell her scent wherever he looked. So he was very wild right now...

Very quickly, Astrid ended up on her back on the bed. Lewis unclipped the clothing in the way on the front.

"I love you Astrid. You are so hardworking... Beautiful, kind, loving." Lewis mumbled into Astrid's ear, as he cleared anything in the way on Astrid's top half.

Astrid heavily breathed hearing Lewis's voice in her ear. She might be seen as a genius, but maybe only he knew she lived another life before now. She was no genius, she worked damn hard. If she didn't then she probably wouldn't be here today...

Astrid could only feel the warmth of Lewis over her, her hand roamed his hard chest, as his played with her chest...

"I love you too... You see me differently, others would call me a monster, cruel, a genius. But you don't." Astrid struggled out, as she let out a yelp.

Lewis lowered his head to tease Astrid's top half more. But then he heard something...

"Ahh! W-W-Wait!" Astrid struggled out of her mouth. Making Lewis immediately stop to her command.

Lewis saw her pale face and painful look on her face. "What's the matter?" He asked in a panic. Was there something wrong?

"I-I... My period." Astrid stuttered out in pain. Her period came along with a vengeance, and she could definitely feel it.

Lewis was relieved he didn't hurt her. but was still a little frustrated physically by that issue. He had learned how Astrid often couldn't deal with her lady issues. And that her body was basically fighting itself...

"D-Drawer... A-At the d-d-desk." Astrid stuttered in pain. Her lady issues often came with immense pain and stomach cramps. Normally she could deal with it. But when alongside Lewis, she couldn't stay strong.

Lewis got up and opened the drawer at the desk. Then another, and finally got to the bottom. Seeing the large array of items, he felt he was ill-prepared.

He grabbed them all and set them on the bed. By now the once hot and steamy atmosphere disappeared, and now Lewis was seriously undressing Astrid to use the items.

Astrid was mortified. She could feel the impact of her lady issue on the bedsheets. She wished she could dig herself a hole and cover it! Especially when they were about to have fun...

Lewis was so gentle with Astrid it made her a little scared. Especially the stone face on Lewis. It was almost like she was bleeding from a gunshot wound instead of natural causes...

"There... I'll go make some tea." Lewis said in a stressed tone. He generally was having bad thoughts seeing Astrid's blood on the bed... Not only was he upset their time for the night was done, but he was upset seeing her blood flow.

Astrid felt more comfortable now. She laid her head down, and waited for Lewis to come back...

She then heard the door open again. And two sets of footsteps. "Excuse me Miss... I'll clean up." Winoa had come in with her normal attitude. Obviously she noticed something was wrong when she saw Lewis come out of Astrid's room with a panicked look on his face. And then noticing he was making ginger tea. She knew the problem immediately.

"Ahhh..." Astrid didn't know what to say anymore, as Lewis gently lifted her like a newborn babe and placed her on a chair covered with multiple blankets, she was embarrassed.

Winoa was also a woman. And Astrid had also helped her out whenever her time arrived. But Winoa felt that her issues were nothing compared to Astrid. As a friend, it always made Winoa feel awful knowing how bad Astrid could feel during this occasion...

By now Lewis had gotten Astrid dressed in comfortable thick clothing. And now was slowly stirring Astrid's tea as Winoa quickly made the bed with now sheets.

What could Astrid say? It was mortifying! But still, she felt a comfort she never had before during these times.

She never experienced her lady issues when around Lewis. It was a natural barrier between a couple not to show their weak sides. And it just happened that Astrid never experienced her's around him before.

"I should have counted better." Astrid mumbled, as she leaned back into the pillow that Lewis grabbed and placed behind her.

Lewis just smiled. "It doesn't matter. At least I was here when it did happen." Lewis reassured Astrid. Making Winoa feel a little awkward...

*Cough* "The bed is prepared. Goodnight." Winoa said as she stood at the door.

"Mmm, goodnight." Astrid became a little docile in these situations. The pain meant she couldn't muster enough energy as she normally could to speak.

Winoa nodded and left the room to them. Sighing in relief at the quick actions they took. 'Well... I guess I need to inform Madam of the bad news.' Mrs. Tuhs was secretly hoping for some other bedtime activity to happen between the two of them. And tasked Andrea and Winoa to keep a lookout...

"Does it hurt here?" Lewis had already gotten Astrid under the covers and into bed. And now was hugging Astrid lightly from behind.

Feeling his hand on her stomach. Astrid felt a comfort and annoyance from it. She then slowly moved her hand down the jumper Lewis put on her. And placed her hand over his.

"Here." Astrid spoke roughly, she was physically upset by the teasing she got, and now was stuck in bed. And also mentally exhausted.

Lewis hummed and slowly rubbed his hand over Astrid's lower stomach. Making Astrid purr.

"I'm sorry." Astrid apologized under her breath, but it was loud enough for Lewis to hear.

"Don't be." Lewis replied quickly, it also was his fault for acting how he did...

"No... I mean I can still feel you." Astrid responded, as a flush appeared on her ears.

Lewis didn't understand what she meant for a moment... And then he adjusted himself.

"It's fine. Don't worry about it." Lewis understood that Astrid what at a weak point. So she became slightly different than the bold woman he knew.

Astrid hummed in a response. She was a woman stuck in a situation in where she couldn't please her man... She was very upset with herself. "Baby, do I have a good figure?" She suddenly asked, making Lewis hitch his breath.

Astrid was in pain, but she managed to move her back just enough to get her upper thighs near Lewis's member...

"Just rub my belly until I fall asleep... It's fine to do what you want." Astrid said in a sleepy voice, the belly rubbing was relaxing, and was giving her a tough time staying awake.

Lewis smiled hearing Astrid's words. He didn't refuse her offer, but would wait until she fell asleep...
