Nathan nodded and embraced her tightly.


    His lips brushed against her neck.


    In a husky voice, he said, “Lucinda, it’s difficult for me to take half a day off.


    Your period has ended, right? Do you want to…”


    Before he could finish, she pushed him away and said with a firm tone, “Oh, Nathan, we have to wait at least two days after my period!”


    Nathan wore a sulky expression.


    Meanwhile, at the Turner Group, Hilliard returned to his office immediately after lunch.


    Despite his tired fingers from endless keyboard typing, he pressed on.

    Seeing that he was so dedicated that he didn’t even bother to drink water, Jennifer wondered if she was giving him too much work.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    She poured a ss of water and carried it to his desk, stealing a nce at his unfinished files.


    He had an hour before work closed.


    And he had already tranted more than 40 documents, leaving just three undone.


    He executed this huge workload in just a few hours.


    She was amazed at his exceptional professional prowess.


    Sadly, business didn’t pique his interest.


    Otherwise, he could have excelled as an entrepreneur.


    Sensing Jennifer’s gaze, Hilliard halted and turned to face her.


    “Is something wrong? Did I make a mistake?”


    Jennifer chuckled and said, “No, you’re quite skillful.


    From the Look of things, I won’t need to punish you today.

    She shed a smile and headed back to her desk.


    As Hilliard watched her walk away, he got lost in his thoughts.


    Could it be that she intended to teach him a lesson?


    It made sense.


    She had ardently pursued him for a year, while he had kept her at arm’s length.


    If he aimed to win her back, he might as well allow her this victory to let out her frustration.


    With that in mind, he discreetly deleted the three documents he had recently tranted from hisputer and emptied the recycle bin.


    The deleted document couldn’t be recovered.


    But Hilliard remained undeterred and continued tranting the other three documents.


    However, he slowed down his typing pace.


    In the office, the only sound heard was the rhythmic tapping of keyboards, as they were both quiet.
