Chapter 69 These Things Are Not Your Responsibility.
“Not yet.
Nathaniel continued working after lunch. In truth, his irregular eating habits were related to his focus on work.
When he got serious, he usually forgot to even eat.
“Then I’ll do it as soon as possible.’
After hanging up the phone, Nathaniel continued to review the plans for the second half of the year.
There was a knock on the office door, and Madison walked in with a lunchbox. “Mr. Hadley, you haven’t had dinner yet. I specially made this at home and brought it for you. It’s healthier than takeout.”
She stood in front of the desk, gazing at the man before her who seemed like a god from such a close distance.
Nathaniel’s eyebrows twitched slightly as he looked up at her. “These things are not your responsibility.”
Sebastian had always been in charge of organizing his clothes and taking care of his meals.
Madison instantly deflated at having her good intentions rejected. “I’m sorry, I was just worried about your health. Doing these things won’t affect my work
She had always been capable, and that was a fact Nathaniel could not refute. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have kept her by his side for so many years.
Nathaniel’s gaze fell on the dense text. “In the future don’t focus on matters that are not within your job scope.”
He was still as indifferent as ever, just like before.
“All right.” Madison clenched the lunchbox tightly, responding with a hint of undeniable disappointment in her eyes.
In truth, she would also make lunchboxes for Nathaniel when she wasn’t busy in the past.
Even if he didn’t eat much of them, she still felt contented and satisfied.
But now, he had outright rejected it.
After stepping out, Madison placed the lunchbox on Sebastian’s desk. “Eat it. Don’t waste food.”
Footsteps echoed in the hallway as Christina approached, carrying a simple bag on her back.
“Sebastian, is Nathaniel in there?”
“Of course.”
“I’ll go on in, then,” Christina said with a smile. Just as she was about to push the door open, Madison grabbed her arm to stop her.
