She rested against his chest, savoring his care.


    He had always been skilled at giving massages.


    After a few minutes, she noticed that her headache had eased.


    She snapped back to reality and suddenly recollected something.


    “Honey, why can’t I recall how I got backst night?”


    She couldn’t recall anything about the previous night, yet she hadn’t drunk anything.


    Why couldn’t she remember?


    When Lucinda expressed her doubts, Nathan was calm.


    He had already thought of a way to exin things.


    He told her, “Last night, you were so exhausted that you fell asleep in the office restroom.


    I came to Simmons Group and scooped you up to bring you back.


    ”


    Lucinda showed a hint of surprise.


    “Wait, did I just sleep all the way till now?”


    Nathan yfully tapped Lucinda’s nose.


    “Yes, you, my Little sleepyhead, slept for over ten hours.


    ”


    Lucinda realized why she had a headache.


    She had slept so long that it made her feel dizzy.


    She joined theughter and remarked, “Well then, maybe I should head to Simmons Group and get some extra steps in.


    After such a long sleep, it’s strange that I’m not feeling hungry at all.


    ”


    Nathan couldn’t convince Lucinda to stay, so he chose not to push it.N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    “If you ever feel uneasy, don’t hesitate to give me a call.


    Wrap up work half an hour ahead tonight.


    I’ve got a n for a special meal, our first romantic dinner back home.


    Just us two.


    I’ll swing by to pick you up then.


    ”


    “Okay!” Lucinda agreed without much thought, not catching the emphasis on ‘just us two.

    As her headache gradually subsided, she regained some energy, enabling her to slowly rise from the bed and freshen up.


    After Lucinda gently sshed her face with water and applied makeup, herposure slowly returned.


    The pain wasn’t as intense anymore.


    Nathan perched on the edge of the bed, quietly observing Lucinda’s condition.


    “We’ve got some time.


    I’ve prepared porridge.


    How about you have a meal before you leave?”


    Lucinda declined with a shake of her head.


    “I don’t have an appetite right now, and there’s a weird taste in my mouth.


    I suppose I might get hungryter if I move around a bit.


    I’ll grab something to eat outside.


    ”


    Nathan offered, “Then I will drive you to work.


    ”


    He stood, gently sped Lucinda’s hand, their fingers intertwining, and he led Lucinda out without further dy.


    Observing his eagerness to be her driver, Lucinda didn’t object.


    She allowed him to lead the way.


    In the afternoon, Lucinda had sessfully signed the deal with the DoWeier Group’s project leader.


    “Miss Simmons, here’s to a great partnership,” the leader said.


    Lucinda offered her hand and greeted the leader with a warm handshake.
