The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 236 Stop

After solving Ryan's problem, Daniel walked into the CEO's office with his half-eaten burrito. Jessica was deep in work, reviewing some reports.

She looked up and saw Daniel entering, “Close the door, please.” Her request took Daniel by surprise.

With a click, the door shut behind him. "What's up, dear?" he asked with a grin.

"We're at the office, call me 'dear' one more time, and you're fired!"

"So what if we're at the office? You're still 'dear' to me."

"I'm your boss!"

Trying to lighten the mood, Daniel held out a burrito to her. "Dear boss, want a bite?"

"I said no!"

Before Jessica could protest further, Daniel playfully pushed the burrito into her mouth. “The hell, Daniel!”

She swatted him, slightly annoyed, but soon admitted, "Actually, it's pretty good."

"Anything I feed you will taste great. From now on, just eat whatever I give you," Daniel said with a mischievous undertone.

Jessica felt something was off with his words, and with her sharpness, she quickly caught on. Shooting him a fierce glare, she muttered through gritted teeth, "Get out!"

"Okay, I'm leaving!"

But as Daniel started to turn away, "Hold it right there!" Jessica called out to him.

"You just told me to leave, and now to stay. Do all beautiful women change their minds this fast? Or is it just stunning ones like you?"

"Cut the chatter. What's going on between you and Brittany?"

"Brittany and me? Don’t you know? She's out to get me, would love to see me out of the company. You know she's after me every day, and still, you lent me to her, had her take me to her place. Don't you think she'll bully me?"

"Bully you? She's just one person, how could she bully you? It looks to me like you're the one who does the bullying! I want you to accompany her home this time because it's a business trip. Brittany is a longtime employee at The Matthews Organization, and it's her grandfather's 80th birthday. You’re going to represent the company and bring him a gift."
