After a while, she glanced at the time, got up from him, closed the lid of the thermal container, then tidied her clothes and hair.
"Um... I should head back, take your time with work."
"Okay." Noah Drexler replied, then shifted his position to cover up the current awkwardness.
Summer Shawcross hugged the thermal container, ready to leave, but suddenly remembered something. She took out a small box from her portable bag, placed it on the table, and said to him.
"This is for you, don’t get worked up too often, it’s bad for your health."
Earlier when she came in, she saw a few people at the door, and it was evident what had just happened.
Looking at the box she was holding, Noah Drexler showed a hint of puzzlement, and upon closer inspection, found that it was a box of cooling peppermint candies.
Seeing him take the candies, Summer thought of more things and started to admonish him with concern.
"And... you should remember to have lunch later, don’t keep staring at that pile of work."
"Also, remember to drink more water, cut down on coffee, too much of it affects sleep. If you really don’t like water, some black tea is good too. It also has a refreshing effect, but make sure not to have too much."
Summer, like a concerned mother, rambled on with a lot of advice, only to realize she was being a bit of a bother.
She initially thought Noah Drexler would be somewhat impatient, but when she looked up, she met a calm, handsome face.
There was not a trace of displeasure.
Seeing she had stopped speaking, he couldn’t help but smirk slightly and asked her.
"Hmm, is there more?"
Had she finished her reminders?
It was the first time he saw her being so nagging, but he found it... very cute!
So cute that... he wanted to hide her away so other men wouldn’t see this adorable side.
"Let me think... Right, also remember to eat some fruit every day, it’s very good for your health... hmm..." Before Summer could finish her sentence, the man suddenly stood up from the chair and bent down...
Startled, she reflexively adopted a guarded posture, reaching out to push him away.
But as his presence approached her, her heart trembled...
...
After a long while, Summer gasped with her mouth open, breathing heavily.
Her cheeks were very warm, and Summer felt too shy to look up at him, afraid that if she continued, she might lose control and do something reckless.
After all, this was an office.
"I’m heading off." She looked down, murmured softly, and then directly turned around, hugging the thermal container as she left the office.
Watching her leave hastily, Noah Drexler finally raised his hand, loosened a button on his white shirt, and his Adam’s apple moved slightly.
