When Samuel saw that she was upset, he immediately put on an innocent look.
“But you didn't talk to me today, so I wanted to wait until you were free to have a chat with you.” He tugged at her sleeves like a puppy. “I didn't disturb you. I was just waiting for you to get off work.”
Kathleen was at a loss for words.
He sat up and asked, “Do you have something to tell me?”
She was stunned momentarily before she shook her head lightly.
Samuel smiled bitterly. “Okay. That's all for our chat today. I'm leaving.”
With that, he stood up, his body swaying slightly.
“Where's Tyson?” Kathleen queried.
“It's seven now. He's gotten off work,” Samuel answered.
She stared at him, feeling speechless.
How could I let him go back alone when he's in this state?
After thinking for a while, she said,
“You should go back to the hotel with me.”
Samuel's eyes lit up instantly.
She continued, “Call someone and let them pick you up.”
Samuel had a lot of subordinates, so they could just drive over to fetch him.
“Kate, it's seven o'clock. They're all off work now.” Samuel paused for a moment before he added, “If I force them to work overtime, they'll say I'm an evil businessman.”
Once again, Kathleen was stumped.
“Let's go then.” She felt a slight pain in her head.
No one could outsmart him when he was playing tricks like a sly fox.
Besides, she couldn't leave him behind when he was having a fever.
People say that women are willful, but men are more willful!
If she paid no heed to him and left him here, she was worried that he might stay in that break room for the entire night and freeze to death.
Samuel left with Kathleen in a car and reached the hotel.
The hotel room was warm.
When they stepped inside, she helped him to the bed.
After that, she opened the drawer and searched for something.
“Valerie, help me buy some medication for fever. Also, buy two sets of dinner while you're on the way back. Get something light,” Kathleen ordered.
“All right.” Valerie wheeled around and left.
Kathleen then rubbed his forehead with a hot towel.
Samuel put his large hand on hers. “Kate, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have made you mad yesterday. It's okay no matter how you look at me or scold me, but please don't ignore me.”
Rendered speechless, she stared at him and said, “I'm not angry.”
She was not lying, but what had happened the previous day got her thinking.
“Are you really not upset?” He furrowed his brows. “You didn't even talk to me while we were in the car.”
Kathleen was starting to lose her patience. “Samuel, you're the one at
fault.”
Samuel pursed his lips.
“What did I say yesterday, huh?” She shot him a disdainful look. “You're the one who started it. You felt that you were a j*rk in my eyes, but did I say that? You're the one who overthought, and yet you're trying to blame it on me.”
Samuel knew it was his fault, so he started to play dirty and change the subject. “My head hurts.”
Kathleen stared at him wordlessly.
“Kate?” he called out in a pitiful, deep
voice.
She heaved a long sigh. “Samuel, what have I done to deserve this?”
With that, she reached out and massaged his temples.
A hint of seriousness emerged on his attractive face.
Kathleen is too soft-hearted.
There was a pleasant floral scent on her. It was not intense and made people feel relaxed.
Gradually, Samuel fell asleep as he breathed in her scent.
Kathleen continued to massage his head for a while before she stopped.
Valerie soon came back with bags in her hands.
