“Do you not feel hot?” raymond asked as he watched Lorie continue to wrap herself around like a cocoon. Just looking at it made him sweat.
Lorie was still voiceless and motionless. It seemed like the woman was really determined to ignore him. Raymond's lip bends. His eyes were filled with warmth and tenderness. This stubborn woman ....
Finally he could only sigh and say, “I went to look for dinner, is there anything you want to eat?”
Raymond stood up for a while and waited for an answer, but it seemed like Lorie would not respond at all. A minute passed and he gave up, turned around and walked out. However, just as his hand was about to turn the doorknob, a not-so-hard voice came from behind his body.
“I want sweet sour ribs and honey pumpkin steamed buns from Jack’s and Angel Restaurant on 1st Avenue.”
Raymond turned his body and looked at the cocoon that was still tightly wrapped. He smiled helplessly and replied, “Good. You wait a minute. I'll have the nurse come to accompany you.”
“No need,” replied Lorie while wrestling with the blanket and trying to get out of the bundle of cloth. However, by the time he made it out, Raymond was long gone.
Lorie was rolling the blanket when there was a knock on the door. He thought it was a nurse called by Raymond, so he invited him in.
“Where did the nurse go? Why are you cleaning up the stuff yourself?”
Lorie squinted in surprise at the sound of baritones from the direction of the door. He turned his head quickly and was a little stunned when he saw Daniel step in with long steps.
“Sini, let me do it,” said the man as he pulled the blanket from Lorie's hand and folded it quickly.
That skillful movement left Lorie almost clucking in awe. This guy is a complete package. Starting from work to trivial things even he can. There are not many of these types of men left now.
“Why? Regret not wanting to be my girlfriend? I can be a good husband, you know?” goda Daniel winks his eyes.
“You ... instead of saying I'll be back in Dubai this afternoon?” Lorie asked back after recovering from her shock.
Daniel snorts. It turned out that the focus of the woman before him was far different from what he expected.
“Very unhappy to see me coming?” ask with eyes.
“T-no, you know that's not what I mean,” Lorie replied a little awkwardly. “I was just surprised because you suddenly showed up. What keeps you from leaving?”
Hearing that question made Daniel smile widely. He approached and wrapped his hands around Lorie's shoulders, just like the attitude of a friend who wanted to tell her the secret.
“I changed my mind. I want to build a branch office here and establish cooperation with Jotuns Corps again. Can you give feedback, what fields have good aspects to develop?”
Lorie was getting more and more stunned. What wind made this strange man change course?
“It turns out you are very double-eyed,” muttered Lorie while getting rid of Daniel's hand. He stepped onto the sofa and sat by the window.
“You didn't lie down?” ask Daniel.
“If you forget, I only miscarried, not a defect,” replied Lorie as she rolled her eyeballs. It felt quite annoying because everyone was too worried about the condition of his body.
Daniel laughed and sat down across from Lorie.
“Sorry, I'm just afraid you're exhausted,” he said.
The man turned his head around the room and realized that there were only the two of them there.
“Where did the others go?” ask again.
“Alex and Billy are accompanying their children, Raymond is off to buy dinner. Ana ... she hasn't told.”
“Oh.”
“Explain why you suddenly changed your mind? Don't tell me you've been planning for a long time because I know this wasn't on your agenda before.”
“Mm ... it .. I just realized the prospects in this place are no less good than Dubai. After all EON’s Company has not opened a branch abroad. I think this could be a good experiment. What say?”
“Really? No hidden destination?” ask Lorie while staring at her interlocutor fixedly.
Daniel did not dare to return that gaze. He turned his face away and rubbed his hands to cover up his nervousness.
Hidden destination ... hehe .. of course there is, but he couldn't possibly tell it to Lorie, right? It could be that the woman broke her neck first if she knew she had a certain intention.
“Daniel, say ... who are you after this time?”
“Uhuk!” Daniel chokes and coughs. “A-what ... uhuk! What do you mean?”
Damnit. This woman has a very sharp intuition. Or is it my heart that reads so clearly?
