Chapter 72

"Wipe your drool," Kenneth reminded her with a laugh.

Ophelia instinctively touched the corner of her mouth. Kenneth grinned teasingly at her. "If you like my muscles, I'll show you every day."

During breakfast, Ophelia glanced at the time. "Do you have plans today? You can't accompany me for the weekend, can you?" She had secretly checked Kenneth's schedule earlier. He was going on a business trip to Shinova this weekend. She wanted to bring it up first to dodge any potential "tantrum" from him.

I'm not. Ophelia lowered her head, pretending to look unhappy. "You promised that the weekend would be mine."

"Alright, then I'll call Mark and have him go alone." With that, Kenneth picked up his phone to dial.

"Wait...don't," Ophelia leaned forward, quickly pressing down on his hand. "You spent the past weekends with me, and Mark has had it tough enough."

During this period, Mark had been working tirelessly, handling all matters. Although he received a doubled annual salary, he feared he might not make it. He looked at Ophelia with a pleading expression.

A simple kiss could calm him down. She leaned in as if no one
