Love the Second Time Around Novel

After knocking lightly on the door, I entered right away and placed the glass on his desk. “Take this glass of milk so you will have a good sleep later.”

Dominic lifted the glass and scrutinized it for quite a while before he looked at me and smirked. “Am I seeing things? Has the sun risen from the west instead? Or perhaps you have doped the milk?”

I rolled my eyes in an instant. Hmph! He certainly has a wild imagination! Apparently, he looks too highly of me. I won’t have the audacity to do anything against the law!

Refraining my mind from wandering, I put on a fawning smile and replied, “Of course not. As a good citizen, I won’t do anything against the law. I’m just concerned about you. My mom has told me to take good care of you. As you have been occupied with work lately, I’m worried you can’t sleep well at night, so I got you a glass of warm milk. Just drink it.”

Hearing that, Dominic scanned me from head to toe subtly and scoffed, “Ah! Since when have you taken your mom’s words seriously? I bet you must be having some ploys in your mind.”

What? Having some ploys? I’m just thinking of asking him a few questions.

Before I could open my mouth to refute, he sneered at me and continued, “Anyway, you are overconfident. Do you think you can bribe me with just a glass of milk?”

He then whined deliberately, “Ugh! I’m stressed and exhausted. There seem to be endless meetings for me to attend. I’ve got a stiff neck because of that!”

It struck me right away that he was hinting something at me. Even though he was taking advantage of me, I talked myself into tolerating him.

I leaned closer to him and started massaging his shoulders. “Let me help you get rid of the soreness of your neck. I used to give my dad massages as well.”

I was rather confident with my massaging skills. At the sight of the look on his face, I was convinced that he was satisfied with my skills as well.

“Ah! Mr. Hartnell, I—” I was about to bring up the topic of his comic, but he cut me off by saying, “I’m a bit hungry and feel like eating fruits.”

Damn it! I’m sure he is doing this on purpose. Is his stomach a bottomless pit? It’s barely two hours after dinner, but he’s already hungry, huh?
