Chapter 54 Learn
- Paulina hated waking up in the middle of the night with the urge to go to the bathroom. Besides not wanting to wake up Simon, the prospect of walking in the dark to the bathroom in her room didn't appeal to her.
- Careful not to awaken Simon, she removed his arm from around her waist and slowly rose, sitting up in bed. She put on her slippers and stopped for a minute to admire her boss's sleeping body. It was dark, but the moon's reflected glow shone through the curtain enough for Paulina to make out his features.
- After what Paulina considered their first "couple's fight," Simon had returned from the bathroom in silence, looking as angry as when he had gone in. But when they lay down, he resumed his role as a lover, wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing her neck tenderly before falling asleep.
