The Sway and Slide of Love by Jean Song

Chapter 640

When Noelle woke up, it was already bright outside. She had assumed Hendrix had already gone to work, but when she turned over, she found him still beside her.

He was propped up against the headboard, working on his laptop. The screen brightness was turned to its lowest, and the sound of his typing was barely audible.

Hendrix quickly noticed she was awake.

"You're awake." He closed his laptop and smiled at her. "Are you tired? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

It was only after he asked that Noelle became aware of the soreness in her body. But pain was nothing new to her now, so she simply shook her head lightly. "I'm fine."

"Are you hungry? I'll have someone bring you something to eat," Hendrix said, getting out of bed.

Noelle suddenly asked him, "Don't you have to go to work today?"

"Nope."

"Actually... you don't have to stay here with me all the time. I'm already better. Besides, is it really okay for a boss to skip work so often?"

Hendrix chuckled at her words. Then, he reached out and ruffled her hair. "What? Are you worried the company will collapse without me? Don't worry. I've already taken care of everything from home."

Noelle fell silent, her eyes lowering as if lost in thought.
