Chapter 367 Growing Intimacy

Aletta was sound asleep on the bed, completely unaware of the man’s words.

The next morning, Aletta woke up and had breakfast with Jason before heading back to the research institute.

As she entered the building, she saw Lewis coming out of his office.

Seeing the dark circles under his eyes, which seemed even darker than before. Aletta couldn’t help but ask, “Did you pull an all- nighter again?”

Lewis yawned and replied, “No, I slept a few hours in the office.”

It was enough to sustain him for the whole day.

Aletta looked at him with concern and said, “Lewis, please take care of your health. Don’t die prematurely at such a young age.”

Although her words were meant to show concern, they didn’t sound quite right.

Lewis chuckled and said, “I won’t die prematurely. I have regular check–ups, and I’m confident I’ll live another sixty years at least.”

After speaking, he entered the research room.

In the morning, they worked together on their research. After a few hours of busyness, Aletta’s phone rang.

She had forgotten to put it on silent in the morning and immediately looked towards Lewis, afraid of disturbing him.

However, he didn’t react at all. As if nothing, even a major event, could distract him from looking at the data and doing his research.

Aletta breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went outside to answer the call.

It was Jason on the other end. She asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Come out and get lunch downstairs,” he replied.
