Chapter 174

Rosalie took the boxed meal and quickly dug in with her head lowered. At that moment, she only wanted to finish the meal and leave as soon as possible.

“Rosie, you’re eating so fast. Are you so eager to leave?” Jonathan’s voice sounded in the office.

Rosalie was choked and coughed, almost spat out the food in her mouth. She could only cover her mouth with her hand and struggled with the cough. Her face turned red a moment later.

After some struggle, she finally stopped coughing. However, the palm covering her mouth was now stained with food, so she planned to wipe it with a tissue.

Before she could take out the tissue, Jonathan grabbed her hand and pulled it toward his front.

She shook her wrist uneasily but did not break free, saying, “My hand is dirty. I need to wipe it clean.”

“Dirty? I don’t feel dirty at all.” He chuckled. Then he lowered his head and pressed his lips against her palm, licking the food

in it clean.

Rosalie’s body immediately stiffened. She only felt her palm burning, as if his light lick was touching a nerve in the palm of her hand and spreading throughout her body.

At the same time, the burning sensation in her palm seemed to make her body temperature rise through the flow of her

blood

“Done.” Jonathan’s voice rang out and sounded a little reluctant.

Rosalie shuddered and came back to her senses. Only then did she find that he had licked the food in her palm clean.

He still held her hand and did not let go, though. Staring at her intently with his charming eyes, he said. “The food in your palm tasted very sweet, Rosie. If only there were more.”
