smile.
Fred spoke first. "Ms. Chloe, I have urgent matters to attend to, so I must head back. I'd like you to come to our company if you feel better tomorrow. I won't disturb you further today. Please take care of your

This time, I didn't react with shock. I looked at him, and he gently ran his fingers across my face, studying my features. He softly stated, "You slept so well. You're like a well-behaved kitten."
He got up, and I followed suit. He kissed me, and I couldn't evade it. His lips danced on mine, leaving me feeling flustered. When he finally pulled away, he said, "Good luck! I'll be waiting for you right here." My heart raced, but I said, "Goodbye!"
