Julia beamed and nodded eagerly. “Remember to drink it while it’s still hot, I’ll head back now.”

Nathaniel glanced at the thermos flask in front of him and picked it up. At once, the strong scent of traditional medicine hit his nostrils.

Christina was heading to the office with the lunchbox when she ran into Jewel, who had just come out of Madison’s office.

When they walked past each other, Jewel couldn’t stop herself from grabbing Christina’s hand. She cast a contemptuous look at the lunchbox and sneered, “Do you think you’re a five–star chef? How dare you cook for Nathaniel?”

Her voice was dripping with sarcasm.

Christina swiftly pulled back her hand, knowing that the more Jewel grew furious, the calmer she needed to be. “Nathaniel adores my cooking. He always polishes off the dishes I prepare for him.”

Jewel tamped down the urge to reveal the truth and turned around, fleeing the scene.

Christina ignored her words and walked into Nathaniel’s office.

The office was spacious and brightly lit, with the air conditioner running constantly. However, the pungent aroma of the traditional medicine still lingered in the air.

Christina felt herself blushing shyly. They had parted on a sour note that morning, but after she calmed down, she realized Nathaniel must’ve gotten upset
