Zinnia finally got the balloon she liked.

“I’ll tie it for you.” Yannis took the pretty balloon from the vendor and held the thin string between his fingers. It was a helium balloon, so it needed to be tied down.

Zinnia rolled up her sleeve, showing her wrist. Yannis lowered his eyes and tied the balloon string around it.

Zinnia watched his long fingers looping the white string. There were moments when their skin touched.

She could feel the soft pads of his fingers brushing against the delicate skin on her wrist. His nails were neatly trimmed, with pale pink nail beds. Zinnia suddenly thought even his fingernails looked nice.

“Do you want anything else?” Yannis asked. Worried the string might come loose and the balloon would fly away, he wrapped it twice around her wrist and tied it in a neat bow.

“Nope.” Zinnia glanced at the bow on her wrist, then followed the string up to the bright sunflower–shaped balloon floating above them, smiling softly.

“Then let’s go home.” Yannis took her hand, and together, they walked back.

Jackson went to Nathan’s company in Mealinia. It was really quiet there. He could only hear the sound of his leather shoes hitting the floor.

“Mr. Lynn, Mr. Moore is waiting for you inside,” Nathan’s senior assistant said.

Led by the senior assistant, Jackson entered the top–floor office. As soon as Jackson walked in, the assis closed the office door.

Jackson glanced around the office. It was way too cold and empty. Right in front of him was a black chair with its back to him. There was no movement at all.

“Nathan, you finally decided to see me,” Jackson said sarcastically. “I’ve been waiting for you for over a month. How do you plan to make up for the time I’ve wasted?”

After he finished speaking, the office was silent for a few seconds before a reply came.

“If I don’t see you, you’ll be upset. If I do, you want me to compensate for your time,” Nathan’s cool voice echoed in the empty office, with a hint of helplessness. “Just go back. Since you haven’t seen me yet, no need for compensation.”

Earlier, Jackson had been clamoring to see Nathan. But now that he was actually there, he wanted Nathan to compensate him. Nathan shrugged his shoulders, almost not wanting to deal with Jackson anymore.
