Kieran did not reach out to take them, nor did he respond.
Looking closely at his expression, Inez arched an eyebrow. “If you feel you don’t have what it takes to endure this harsh seven-day trial period, you can throw in the towel at any time and return to where you belong.”
He rose to his feet immediately, strode over to her, and took the thick stack of documents. “I won’t throw in the towel. You don’t have to worry about that, Ms. Mossey.”
If I can’t complete it in time, the worst that can happen to me is a humiliating beating. However, if I don’t agree to do it, it’ll be the equivalent of rejecting Inez’s test. That will only put more distance between us and make it even more difficult to pursue her.
Kieran carried the documents back to his desk. He began translating the contents without any rest and typing them out.
She suppressed a smile while observing his intent and solemn expression.
The pair quickly fell back to work. Neither spoke again to disrupt the peaceful silence, and the atmosphere in the office was very harmonious.
When lunchtime rolled around two and a half hours later, Inez stood up, smoothed the hem of her tight-fitting skirt, and turned toward him. “Mr. Kieran, no matter how busy we are, we shouldn’t forget to have lunch. Are you coming?”
Despite his efforts, he had only finished translating nine of the files. With his mind still preoccupied with work, he answered without a second thought, “I’m not hungry yet.”
Her face fell when she heard his reply. What an idiot.
Shaking her head in exasperation, she turned and headed toward the door.
Suddenly, he was struck with the belated realization that her words had seemed to carry a subtext. Was she inviting me to have lunch with her?
Pushing aside his mouse and keyboard, he hurried after her. “Ms. Mossey, I’m new here and still not familiar with the area. Could I join you for lunch?”
Inez continued walking forward without pausing. She shot him a sidelong glance and replied, “As a secretary on your first day of work here, are you actually asking your immediate superior to treat you to a meal? Mr. Kieran, you sure know how to put on airs.”
He fell silent while what little emotional intelligence cells he had turned in his mind, trying to think of the best response. “What I meant was for you to take me out to lunch, but I’ll pay.”
She shot a few curious glances before uttering a rare word of praise, “That sounds interesting. You’re usually so aloof and reticent, so I can’t believe you’d say something so agreeable. You’ve improved. Not bad.”
