Blake did not receive a response from Kevin after sending him that text.
She seemed bewitched as she held her phone, staring at it.
After two minutes passed without receiving a reply from Kevin, Blake then lay on the sofa staring at the ceiling above. She put her phone on her chest. She could not understand why Kevin would ask her to be her girlfriend.
She acknowledged that she could not resist the allure of someone like Kevin. Every girl in the company would be happy for the entire day just from exchanging a few words with him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAll the female employees in the company were attracted to Kevin, but he was always focused on work. Blake rarely saw him engage in any non-work-related activities. Not only was Kevin very good-looking, but his income was also said to be three times that of the company's top executives.
His cold personality was his only flaw.
His cold demeanor made everyone feel he was not easily approachable. Previously, there had been a very beautiful intern at Jardin Corporation, who had been the prettiest girl in the entire company. She had stepped on Kevin's foot, and it seemed like she had done so intentionally to get his attention.
As a result of that incident, she had been fired less than three days after being hired, crying hysterically as she left.
According to the person who leaked the information, the girl was the daughter of a mayor, and had joined the company specifically to get closer to Kevin.
Blake witnessed the entire incident and realized that Kevin had indeed shown her mercy.
The mistakes she had made when she first arrived at the company were more than just stepping on his foot, but Kevin had not punished Blake, besides complaining that she was being noisy.
Everyone in the secretary's office envied Blake for being able to work alongside Kevin.
And Blake was also the only person who had been able to work alongside Kevin for so long.
Ever since Blake had found out that she was being manipulated by Kevin and requested to resign, she had always felt like there was a pair of eyes watching her from behind, as her desk in the company was right across from his.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBlake had once narcissistically thought that Kevin had been secretly interested in her for a long time but had been reluctant to confess to her in order to save face.
However, she never imagined that she would actually attract his attention.
Blake removed her phone from her chest and went to the bathroom. She looked at herself in the mirror. She had a standard oval face shape, almond-shaped eyes, and well-proportioned features. She said, "I'm not ugly at all! It's not surprising at all if he really likes me! Maybe he isn't attracted to my looks but rather my cheerful and cute personality!" Blake did indeed have feelings for Kevin, but she thought a person like him would not be interested in her.
Now that they were together, she felt like this was a dream.
A slight vibration echoed in the living room. Blake took a deep breath and hurriedly went to the living room. She grabbed her phone, only to find it was a news notification.
Blake disappointedly sat on the sofa, "I'm your girlfriend now. Why can't you take the initiative to chat with me? "Forget it, you're such an introvert. | guess you've never been in a relationship. I'll forgive you." Blake let out a sigh. After ten minutes, she sent him another message.
She asked: [What are the benefits of being your girlfriend ?] Kevin came out of the bathroom and was ready to work overtime in the study. When he heard his phone vibrate on the table, he picked it up to look at it. He looked cold as he replied: [There's no benefit. Don't be late for work tomorrow.] Blake looked at the instant reply and quickly typed: [What were you doing? Why did you take so long to reply to me? What do you mean there are no benefits? If that's the case, why would | even want to be your girlfriend ?!] Before she pressed the send button, she hesitated and deleted the last sentence.
