Chapter 13 Dragged
"BITCH!" Rory's voice suddenly resounded in the house, which made Tinsley snort angrily.
Tinsley can't help thinking that Rory is going to burst her eardrums in these few days if she continues yelling all of a sudden.
"Tune down your noise, please. The triplets are sleeping…" Tinsley replied, but before she could finish her words, Rory barged the door open.
Tinsley heaved heavily, "Miss Rory, can you stop opening and closing the door as you will? I need my beauty sleep, please." Tinsley begged silently.
Rory feigns a frown "What did you mean your beauty sleep? You're already beautiful." Rory retorted and threw her phone at Tinsley who picked it up with a sigh.
After a few seconds of scrolling through the phone, Tinsley's eyes lit up excitedly.
"See who's been dragged. You gave the best answer." Rory grinned widely with a thumbs up.
Tinsley also faked a grin. "CEO Rory, did you forget that you have to go to the company tomorrow? It's 11:23 pm, and you're still scrolling through social media." Tinsley chided.
Tinsley immediately lies on the bed and covers herself with the blanket.
Rory also joined her, but she was still scrolling through her phone, "My godchildren are here, what do you mean I'm going to work tomorrow? Fuck work, I need to take them around Ryle this week." Rory grinned, which made Tinsley snort.
She already understood what Rory was planning: "You're just looking for an opportunity not to go to work, didn't you?" Tinsley snorted lightly.
"How can I? There's a hot guy in…" Rory immediately shut her lips before she could spill the word. She had almost revealed the reason why she was hiding from work.
Tinsley squinted her eyes at Rory. Obviously, she caught some of Rory's words. "Hey. You're keeping a secret from me, what are you keeping? Who's hot?" She asked curiously, but Rory sealed her lips.
Tinsley began to poke Rory's waist cruelly. "Talk."
Rory smacked Tinsley's hand away from her waist and quickly covered herself with a blanket. "Don't ask. Don't ask." She yelled in a fluster, which made Tinsley roll her eyes.
"Ok. Goodnight," Tinsley said and immediately closed her eyes as she prepared to sleep.

Tinsley was awoken by a certain triplets jumping on her body, "Good morning, mummy." Mason, Ariel, and Jason yelled loudly next to her ears, which jolted her awake.
Tinsley suppressed a yawn. "Good morning." She replied and opened her eyes.
Although Tinsley wanted to continue sleeping because she was still tired, she knew that telling her eager kids to leave her alone, so she could sleep would sadden their hearts.
Tinsley tilted her neck, "Tell me, how good your night is?" Tinsley uttered with a yawn which she covered with her lips.
Ariel immediately climbed on top of Tinsley, "Mom, I dreamt of a unicorn." She said excitedly.
Tinsley yawned languidly, "Sleeping. Thank you." She said and collected the cup of chocolate from the maid.
"They've been awake for quite a long time," Rory commented and began to scroll through her phone while letting out a chuckle, occasionally.
"Thank you." Tinsley appreciated her because she knew how impatient the Triplets could be once they didn't see her.
"Why are you thanking me, they are my children?" She finalized her words with a smack on Tinsley's head which made Tinsley glare at her with annoyance.
The dining room was silent for a while until Rory looked up. "That's right. You have a party to attend tonight, right?" She asked, which made Tinsley nod her head. "Take the bodyguards along." She says, which made Tinsley frown a little.
"What's up?" Tinsley asks.
"Last night's reply had blown so much that everybody was shading Lillee for being a hypocrite," Rory explained.
Tinsley nodded as she drank the chocolate drink, "I'll check that out, I mustn't miss the fight at all. I'll need to check all the details also, knowing Lillee's character so well, she'd never let White Tigress go. She'd try to switch the mass anger on me because she's a white lotus." Tinsley said.
Rory glanced at her through the corners of her eyes, "So any plans of meeting the William's family?"
Tinsley shook her head, "Not yet. I left for seven years and I didn't receive a call. Returning to that house means destroying them. I don't have that ability yet." Tinsley explained which made Rory feign a snort.
"In those web novels that are getting popular these days, the female lead always face-slaps their family as soon as they return. Where's your face-slapping?"
