Chapter 1419:
With that, she quickly slipped out of Dunn’s arms, wrapped herself in the quilt, and hurried into the bathroom.
“I’m starving p>
Her voice echoed down the hall, followed by the click of the bathroom door locking.
Dunn sat up with a helpless sigh. He rubbed the mark on his neck, tenderness lingering in his eyes.
They had spent the entire morning tangled up together. In the middle of it all, Margo had the nagging feeling she’d forgotten something important.
Then Dunn’s phone rang. He answered, listened for a second, and looked toward Margo.
Margo blinked at him blankly. Dunn walked over and handed her the phone. “It’s your agent p>
The words hit like a jolt, snapping Margo back to reality. She slapped her forehead, suddenly remembering she had work scheduled for today.
Flustered, Margo looked to Dunn for help.
Even without the speaker on, her agent’s voice cut through clearly and pierced Margo’s ears. “Margo, stop playing dead and get out here p>
Margo bit her lip and answered sweetly, “Hello, Dorsey p>
“I told you not to come home too late last night, didn’t I? And then you didn’t come home at all, and you didn’t even answer my calls p>
“It was a mistake,” Margo replied with an awkward smile.
In truth, she had left her phone in the living room the day before. And then she and Dunn… well, nothing else had seemed to matter after that.
“Come to the company right now,” the agent said. “You have a press interview scheduled for later today p>
The agent let out a helpless sigh, clearly used to this by now. Margo hurried to agree.
After she hung up, Margo leaned forward over the table, looking miserable. “Oh my goodness. I’m going to get scolded at the company again p>
It was obvious she’d made this kind of mistake more than once—and still hadn’t learned.
“I’ll drive you there later,” Dunn said softly as he gathered the plates and forks.
“Today is the announcement for my TV series,” Margo said, swinging her legs from the chair. “I finally finished filming p>
Turning around, Dunn walked over to Margo and gently stroked her cheek. “I’m sorry. I have several surgeries this afternoon, so I won’t be able to pick you up p>
“Several surgeries in a row?” Margo asked.
Dunn nodded, knowing he would probably be exhausted afterward.
Concern flickered in Margo’s eyes as she looked at him. Then she turned fully to face him, met his gaze, and said, “Then… can I pick you up tonight p>
Looking into Margo’s hopeful eyes, Dunn nodded fondly.
After sharing another intimate moment, Dunn drove Margo to her workplace.
The moment Margo reached the entrance, her agent pounced on her.
