In the morning, at Kingston Group, the skyscrapers gleamed brilliantly under the sunlight.
In the high-end, pristine office area, everyone’s spirits were on point.
On Finn Morgan’s desk, there was still a bottle of banana milk and a piece of red bean cake, which made Finn wonder—didn’t they agree over the phone last night to maintain some distance?
Why did she still buy him breakfast?
Despite this, his heart was warm, and he felt quite happy.
Just then, Barbara Sutton came over with a file, her high heels clicking, her shoulders back, looking vibrant, "Good morning, Special Assistant Morgan, here’s the meeting materials you requested, the electronic version has been sent to your email."
Even her voice seemed deliberately practiced, a bit different from usual.
Finn snapped back to reality and took the file, "Alright, thank you."
Barbara didn’t hurry to leave, her gaze fell on his desk, "Is the red bean cake still warm?" Then she smiled at him, "Today it tastes a bit different than before, want to try it?"
Finn looked at her with slight bewilderment, her smile was radiant.
Barbara’s makeup was quite exquisite, her skin tone several shades brighter, and her smile exuded confidence, "Special Assistant Morgan, I’ve noticed you’ve been finishing the breakfast these days, it means my choice suits your taste, doesn’t it?"
Outside the door, Hailey Hale instinctively took a step back, leaning against the wall when she heard this!
"You bought it?" Finn suppressed the shock in his heart.
The two locked eyes, and Barbara, knowing he’d be surprised, answered brightly, "Yes, who else did you think it was? Hailey?" Get full chapters from NoveI-Fire.ɴet
Finn, "..." didn’t know what to say.
Barbara saw the disappointment in his eyes but didn’t care at all, still smiling, "Ah, it doesn’t matter who bought it, just enjoy it while it’s hot!"
"Barbara." Finn put down the file, didn’t sit down, and looked at her seriously, "Don’t buy me breakfast anymore, I’ll have breakfast before coming in."
Her affection was so evident, he needed to decisively refuse to avoid awkward consequences.
"Okay, I promise you, I won’t buy it anymore!" She was obedient and in a good mood, her lips slightly curled up with a smile, "But how about having this bottle of milk and the red bean cake now?"
Finn sighed softly, "..."
"Don’t let someone’s goodwill go to waste." She smiled and persuaded, "I woke up early to get the freshest ones."
To be honest, Finn felt a bit stifled.
But since she promised not to buy anymore, he felt embarrassed not to eat.
Hailey cautiously peeked her head out, seeing Finn sit down at his desk, pick up the banana milk, and reluctantly take a sip.
Is it poison?? Hailey couldn’t help but want to laugh.
"Try the red bean cake too." Barbara stood by, watching him intently, "Today’s is made to be a bit finer, might be tastier."
"..." Finn had a headache, he hurriedly ate to send her off quickly, after all, there wouldn’t be a next time.
So he reached for the bag with the red bean cake, and Barbara watched his distinctly jointed fingers open it, his seductive thin lips took a gentle bite.
Even eating looks so charming!
"Is it good?" She asked excitedly.
Raising his eyes, Finn said seriously, "Go get busy." There was no light in his eyes.
Barbara was slightly taken aback, her smile stiffened, "Okay, then I won’t disturb you anymore." Her face lit up with a bright smile again.
Turning around happily to leave, she unexpectedly ran into Hailey hiding nearby, which startled her. Composing her expression as she passed by Hailey, she gave a radiant smile, glancing at Hailey, her smile deepened, seemingly carrying a hint of provocation.
