Chapter 146

Lester watched as Mona ran at the speed of light from the room. He was kind of confused. He wondered why she was running away.

"Maybe, she is embarrassed. Silly," he said, smiling.

He got out of bed and headed to the living room where he met Mona pacing around. He walked up to her and embraced her from behind. She smelled good. 

"Why did you run off? Feeling shy already?" Lester asked, a chuckle escaping his mouth.

"N-o-n-o, I just wanted some fresh air. Besides, I am kind of hungry," Mona said, grateful that she wasn't facing Lester. Her face was all flushed.

"Hungry? Let me ring up the butler to get us something or do you want us to eat out?" Lester asked, turning her to face him.

"I… let's eat out. I think it's better that way. By the time we are done, then let's go and pick up Stephanie," Mona said.

"She should be at the Bryan mansion, right? You want her to stay with you?" Lester asked.
