Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

Chapter 2837: Chapter 27: The Second Day (Part 3)

"Sorry, Major General." Harrison Lucas quickly stood upright in a military stance upon noticing, lifting her serious little face to look at Ben Lucas: "It was Harrison’s inefficiency, please punish me, Major General."

In the military, the biggest taboo is disrespecting superiors and not differentiating between ranks.

Harrison knew that though the eldest was admonishing her, he was also helping her change her past ’bad habits.’

She looked at Ben without complaints, waiting for punishment.

Ben looked at Harrison’s suddenly raised, bright and clear eyes, tapping his slender fingers on the table.

A moment later, he said, "When Jared Holbrook and Franklin Miller return, go accept your punishment. As before, twenty laps with weights."

"Yes!" Harrison’s voice was loud and calm.

...

The reprimand before breakfast ended with this not-so-cheerful atmosphere.

Ben Lucas was an austere superior, but didn’t have strict rules regarding meals.

In the small building, it was just him and Harrison, ordering Harrison to sit down and dine with him.

Originally thought that when the eldest woke up, he didn’t ask much about last night’s events, thinking she had luckily escaped a disaster.

Unexpectedly, halfway through the meal, the man sitting opposite suddenly put down his cutlery.

Watching him pick up the napkin and wipe the corner of his lips, his elegant and noble movements resemble a medieval nobleman.

Harrison couldn’t help but recall the eldest’s lineage.

The eldest’s mother, Mrs. Lily, came from the ancient European aristocratic Reddington family.

If not a soldier, the eldest’s demeanor would be like those nobles in oil paintings.

So noble, so handsome.

Harrison couldn’t help being a bit mesmerized, but then saw the man put down the napkin, suddenly raise his eyes with those inscrutable, deep black pupils to look at her.

"Harrison..." She heard the eldest’s cold voice.

"Last night, after I got drunk, what did I do?"

"Hm?" Harrison’s throat tightened, the bun on the cutlery fell onto the table.

Can, can a person not eat peacefully!

Do you have to bring up such nerve-wracking topics at a time like this!?

Harrison inwardly criticized furiously, but outwardly appeared calm and composed.

She calmly picked up the bun that rolled on the table and put it back in the bowl before speaking: "Report Major General, after you drank a whole can of beer last night, you...you said you wanted to go back to your room to sleep. I escorted you to the door, watched you enter, and then returned to my own room."

"You didn’t stay to take care of me?" Ben Lucas narrowed his long eyes, his cold voice carrying a hint of danger.

Upon waking up this morning, he found himself completely unclothed, with all his clothes scattered messily on the floor.

Because of this, the man carried a nameless anger since coming downstairs.

He’s angry at himself for being so unkempt after drinking, also angry that Harrison, who usually took care of him closely, dared to leave him unattended.

Harrison promptly offered the prepared excuse: "I originally intended to stay, but considering the Major General’s orders, when I saw the situation wasn’t right, I got far away. The Major General’s temper isn’t good when drunk, I was afraid of annoying you, so I didn’t dare go in."

A very logical explanation, flawless.

Ben Lucas couldn’t find any reason to blame Harrison for his sudden love for ’sleeping naked.’

He narrowed his deep dark eyes, steadily staring at Harrison, as if weighing the credibility of her words.

After a long time, he finally uttered a cold word: "In that case, continue tonight..."

Harrison’s heart skipped a beat: "Continue what?"

The man retracted his deep gaze, casually said: "Of course, alcohol training. It seems beer is no longer challenging; tonight, let’s start with red wine..."

Harrison swallowed her saliva: "..."
