-Do you like me? -he asked her with his usual indifference.
-No,” Alice shook her head, her eyes fixed on his.
-Are you sure? -smiled Kennedy and approached her, “Do you think I believe you?
Alice took two steps back to avoid the embarrassing situation like yesterday, justifying herself, -I’m serving you milk because you look tired. I think the milk will suit you better, that’s all, my lord.
Then he added, -If not for you, I will do the same for all my superiors.
The more nervous Alice became, the more interested Kennedy became in her.
She obviously felt a great deal of affection for him, but denied it to get more hours at his side.
“He keeps challenging my patience.” Kennedy thought.
-Are you a fool, or an idiot? -Kennedy suddenly said.
-How?
Kennedy turned and said coldly, “Bring me the coffee before I get angry. If you like milk,” Kennedy smiled, “You drink it.
Alice was already 100% sure she wasn’t going to drink the milk, in fact, she had never liked milk.
Alice sighed and broke her teeth trying to convince him because her anger was almost nothing compared to her health.
-Or shall I pour you some tea? -She took back the milk and asked him.
-Tea is as good as coffee, it will cheer you up and taste good.
Kennedy became totally impatient and looked at her with furious eyes, “Do you want to give up work?
Sensing his firm attitude, Alice insisted no more, and left with the milk.
At this moment Giuliana was waiting for her at the office door.
As soon as she saw her, Giuliana approached her smiling, -You know you’re wrong? With two days working here, you don’t know him as well as I know him. You’re never going to change his habit. I advise you not to challenge him anymore.
-He’s stubborn as a rock, besides… -Half-speaking, Giuliana stopped, but Alice hurried her, -So?
-Even if you convince him, he won’t be able to keep it up for long.
-What do you mean? -Alice asked.
Giuliana didn’t follow her speech and looked at the untouched milk, smiling, -Come on, make him coffee. He’ll be angry later.
-Okay,” Alice left discouraged.
As worried as Alice was, Giuliana thought that her relationship with Mr. Kennedy was nothing but intimate, because she saw in his eyes love, longing and many desires.
But Alice did not admit it, Giuliana decided to observe longer.
Alice drank the milk and decreased the dose of coffee.
She returned to her office.
-Here’s your coffee,” she put it on her desk, low-spirited.
Hearing her despondent tone, Kennedy laughed without realizing it.
Kennedy tasted the coffee, and said, “It’s light.
Then he looked coolly at her, whose face was pale, clear-eyed, and the casual white suit made her even softer, and delicate.
Suddenly, his gazes stopped on her pink lips where the white milk stains lingered.
Seeing the stains, Kennedy thought, How obedient! She drank the milk, an interesting woman.”
Kennedy got up and wiped the stains off.
It all happened in an unconscious way.
She didn’t even notice the stains he left on her lips, Alice was now quite flushed with his intimate touch.
At this moment, Kennedy ordered her, -Go away.
Seeing that she was motionless, Kennedy repeated, -What are you waiting for?
Alice left after a while of motionless detention, while Kennedy stood blankly staring at her smudged fingers.
After a good while, Kennedy wiped the smudges with his handkerchief, one after another time.
It was the one that stayed clean and away from anyone, but why did it wipe the stains off him naturally?
Kennedy threw the handkerchief away and went back to his work.
All became silent.
