Kent’s good-looking eyebrows narrowed into a straight line, as if he was looking at her, making her heart beat inexplicably faster as well.
“I know.” Kent spoke suddenly, causing her to react immediately.
Blanche followed suit and squeezed her palms together reluctantly, “That’s good ……”
The only thing she was afraid of was that he would take it to heart, but right now, it didn’t seem to be anything he should take to heart.
The two of them were silent for a moment and Blanche took a few awkward steps back and said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going to my room ……”
“Hmm.”
The man nodded and Blanche breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could leave, her wrist was clasped again and she turned around with some surprise, only to meet his teasing eyes.
“Do you …… have anything else?”
“Yes.”
“Oh.” She immediately stood up straight, with the look of a good girl waiting for his answer.
Kent was amused by her and lifted his hand and knocked her on the head, “Why don’t I usually find you so silly?”
She looked up blankly, slightly confused as to the meaning of his words.
Kent sighed lightly and said helplessly, “Go back to your room first, I’ll meet you in your room later.”
“That ……” Blanche blushed with embarrassment, “doesn’t seem very nice, does it?”
It was a situation where a man and a woman were alone and out on a trip together, and if other colleagues were to run into them, they would not be able to speculate.
The latter looked at her, “We haven’t been alone?”
“Yes.”
“And did I do anything to you?”
That was not true ……
Blanche suddenly fell silent, looking at him not knowing what the best answer should be.
Kent, however, clapped his hands together and then said, “That’s not the end of it, it’s not like I’m going to do anything to you or take advantage of you, and besides, as far as the gossip goes, you’re my assistant, I have official business for you, how could I be wrong?”
“……”
Blanche looked embarrassed, but couldn’t say no to the man in front of her, and after half a second, she just shrugged her head off and said, “Fine.”
Kent wrinkled his brow, “Don’t be so reluctant, outsiders who don’t know will think I’m forcing you.”
Blanche stroked her forehead helplessly, suddenly wanting to ask if the person in front of her wasn’t being difficult.
Fortunately, Kent had no intention of continuing to dally with her and simply let go of her hand, and she took advantage of the situation to immediately leave the spot.
Blanche thought it was just an excuse for Kent, and although she didn’t know what he was up to, something didn’t feel right.
But the moment Kent entered the room with his computer and opened the PPT, he was confused, unable to tell if he was lost or relieved.
It turned out that …… was really just work.
“What’s with the stupid stare?” Kent snapped in a somewhat displeased manner when he saw her still standing in the doorway.
Blanche reacted and immediately stepped forward, “Sir Lewis.”
The man didn’t look up and simply dreaded the pat on his side, “Sit.”
The little woman hesitated for a moment and dawdled to sit down, the man’s bony hand landing on the computer screen, his nice voice in her ear the whole time, the scent of his freshly bathed breath all around her, making her nearly unable to hold on to the mood swings in her mind.
“Blanche?”
Kent saw her look of stoicism and couldn’t help but frown again, “You’re not feeling well?”
“Nothing.” Seeing that he was about to reach out and press up, she jumped up immediately as if she were a bird of prey, “I’m fine, I’m just feeling a little dizzy.”
She looked away uncomfortably, trying desperately to suppress the fluttering in her heart.
With a worried look on his face, Kent simply closed his computer as well, “In that case, let’s go to bed and get some rest, maybe you’ve just been soaking in the spa for too long.”
“Yeah.”
She nodded repeatedly, not daring to hesitate.
Kent also got up and looked around the room before finally finding the abandoned kettle of boiling water in the corner.
He boiled a pot of water and let it warm up before handing it to her, “Have some water.”
“Thanks.” Blanche propped herself up, drank it straight from the bottle and pushed the glass back, “I’m fine, I’ll be fine after a bit of rest, so you should go back.”
“How can that be?”
Kent was offended by her suggestion.
Blanche’s eyes flashed.
Then the man’s voice came again, “How can I leave you alone at this time? You just rest, I’ll stay here and go back when you’re okay.”
“I’m fine already!” She said through clenched teeth.
And at the same time, she couldn’t help but regret the lie she had told, so now she had invited a big problem and there was no way to put it off.
Kent looked at her and couldn’t help but press her back down again, “Don’t worry about anything else, just get some rest and don’t make me say it all over again!”
At this point, his words had taken on a guarded tone.
Blanche had really gotten herself into trouble this time, and was so depressed that she had to close her eyes.
But he was right beside her, and no matter how much she ignored him, she couldn’t ignore him, and his presence seemed more and more obvious!
There was a stalemate and almost as soon as Blanche could not pretend any longer, the familiar ringing of her mobile phone saved her life.
Almost immediately, Blanche jumped out of bed and rushed to the coffee table to find her phone and pick up the call, “Melissa? It’s so late, you ……”
“Oooh ……”
A fearful cry came through the receiver and Blanche’s nerves instantly tightened, “Melissa, where are you, have you run into something!?”
“I ……”
Melissa’s voice stumbled, “I’m at the izakaya near the hotel with my boyfriend …… but just now …… we seem to have gotten into trouble… …”
Before she could finish her sentence, she was immediately about to burst into tears again.
Blanche gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice, “Don’t you cry yet, tell me where you are in the pub and I’ll get out now!”
Melissa remembered the most important thing and gave the name of the shop.
Blanche quickly pulled on her coat and headed out, but Kent, who had been ignored behind her, tugged on her movements, his face vaguely unsure, “What’s going on, is something wrong? Are you going to go by yourself?”
“I ……”
Blanche was silent for a moment, her heart quickly fading as she met the man’s stern-filled eyes.
She gritted her teeth, not bothering to think about it, and tugged him straight out the door, “I don’t know how I should explain it to you yet, but in any case, go and get Melissa and the others back first!”
Damn it!
She still thought nothing would happen so she was relieved to let them go out, if anything did happen ……
