Jimmy crossed his arms and gave Ariah a side look. "I didn't know you can talk rubbish."
Knowing that he didn't believe her, she didn't argue further. "Anyway, I'm really hungry."
Right then, her stomach started to rumble.
A little embarrassed, Ariah said, "See, I didn't lie..."
Then, she got up and wanted to go to the kitchen to cook something. But then, she realized that she was naked under the blanket. "Hey, can you go out for a second? I need to change my clothes."
"What? Are you afraid that I'll see you naked? But I already saw everything last night."
Ariah pulled the blanket tightly over her body and glared at him. "I don't care. Just go out!"
Jimmy took a look at her and turned to leave. "Alright."
Seeing that he was indeed leaving, Ariah was stunned. "Where are you going?"
"I'm gonna make breakfast."
She was surprised.
Did Jimmy know how to make breakfast? She was doubtful that a manly young guy like him knew
how to cook.
Over the past few years, they always had breakfast outside, and when it came to lunch, Ariah would eat at the hospital's cafeteria. As for dinner, she would usually do takeaways, or sometimes, she would dine out with her colleagues.
On the other hand, Jimmy would just eat outside, as he hardly went home when things got busy at work.
So she was quite shocked to hear that he wanted to make breakfast himself.
After he went out, she immediately put on her clothes and went to the bathroom to wash up.
When she went to the kitchen, the breakfast was almost ready.
It smelled good!
And it should probably taste well too.
Ariah swallowed her saliva subconsciously. She didn't expect him to really know how to cook.
What a surprise!
She then went over to see that there were two perfectly poached eggs sitting in the pan.
"How did you know how to make these?" Ariah couldn't help but ask.
"Well, I learned to cook when I was in the police academy. To be honest, there's nothing that I can't learn. It's just that if I wanna do it or not."
Tsk.
Arrogant!
As if he could sense her berating him, Jimmy narrowed his eyes and continued, "I'm not arrogant. I'm just confident."
"Ahem." Was this guy a mind reader?
Her face turned red from coughing. Suddenly, Jimmy leaned over and surrounded her with his scent. Ariah was shocked and took a step back. "Wh-what are you doing?"
Her kitchen was quite small. Taking two steps back, her back was already against the sink, and she stared straight at him.
Jimmy had closed in on her, which forced her to look at his toned upper body. He was the kind who looked slim with the clothes on, but underneath it, he was rather muscular.
At the same time, he had leaned over and Ariah's cheeks happened to touch his chest. Instantly, her face flushed. "Hey, what..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, Jimmy retreated and gave her a faint smile. "What are you thinking about? I was just taking a plate."
Ariah was choked at his words.
Looking over, she saw him holding the plate.
He must have done it on purpose!
He was definitely trying to tease her just now.
