Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 365

The next day, at Horace's office.

Horace was going through the documents. Suddenly someone knocked on the door.

Without looking up, Horace said coolly, "Come in."

"Horace, you must be tired. Take a rest. You shouldn't work all the time."

A girl's voice rang out. It was familiar, tender and affectionate.

But Horace frowned when he heard it.

He thought it was the assistant. Why was Laura? Why did she come to his office?

"Why are you here?" Horace put down the paper and looked at her grimly.

Laura was still in the wheelchair. She didn't dress up today. She was in a plain white dress with a wool blanket on her laps. Her makeup was also very light. With long black hair, she looked very fragile and delicate.

There was a lunch box on her lap. At Horace's cold remarks, she bit her lips and was close to tears. But soon she looked up and smiled, "Horace, I'm afraid you might get too tired, so I cooked soup for you. You should taste it when it's still warm."

Laura opened the lunchbox and the aroma of food soon filled the room. The lotus root was stew together with green beans. It was very soft and sweet. The soup looked luscious and smelled wonderful. Laura nodded with satisfaction.

She wasn't good at cooking at all, and it took too much effort to prepare a soup. She wasn't that patient. This was cooked by the nanny.

He didn't need to know this, for sure.

He only needed to know that she cared for him, which was enough.

Laura served it in a bowl and placed the bowl in front him. She whispered, "It's delicious. You should taste it."

"I'm not hungry. Leave it there." Horace didn't reach for it. Laura was embarrassed for a moment, but she soon regained confidence.

"Horace, I've been cooking for hours. Please, please try it." Laura acted pettishly and softened her voice. Average men would fall for her instantly. She held the bowl closer to him.

"I said I'm not hungry." Gu Chi still didn't reach out and even dodged it. "Plus, don't come to my office again if it isn't an emergency. And don't bring me soup again."

"Why?" Laura was embarrassed and annoyed. "Is there something wrong with me? Why do you treat me like this!"

"Laura, I have already told you that I took care of you just out of guilt. I have no other feelings for you. Don't you think you've crossed the line? We're not boyfriend and girlfriend!"

Horace didn't have the patience to beat about the bush and blurted out what was on his mind.

"I don't believe it. How can you have no feelings for me after years!" Laura didn't expect to hear the cruel words from his mouth, so she teared up. "Is it because Clara? Do you see her again? What did she tell you?"

"What does it have to do with her?" Horace couldn't stand her paranoid behavior.
