The elevator stopped again and a few more people walked in.
He was accidentally bumped by someone walking in, and his body pressed against mine, which madeeven
more awkward.
| could distinctly feel my heart beating a little quicker. Theo's gaze fell on my face as he said in a low and deep
voice, "We'll arrive soon."
Though his words were breezy, they were able to givea temporary sense of security.
When the elevator arrived on the first floor, Jordan, Elena, and Keith were already waiting at the door.
Theo walked out of the elevator first. Cally bumped her shoulder against mine and said a little ambiguously, "I
saw that. You were embracing each other."
I blushed. "Cut it out. You made a mistake."

I quickened my pace forward after saying that.
Cally chuckled playfully behind me, which madeblush even more.
When we got to the entrance of the restaurant, Keith left after Theo said something to him.
The two employees following Elena noticed how Elena’s ankle did not seem to be getting better, so they asked
with concern," Should | buy sointment for you, Ms. Mandez?" "No." Elena refused with a slight smile. "It's
not serious. It should be fine soon."
Her smile was very pleasant to look at, which made the two employees from Grant Corporation feel like they
should be doing something.
Therefore, they said to Theo, "We'd like to excuse ourselves, Mr. Grant.”
Theo heard their exchange and glanced indifferently at them, saying, "Keith has gone to buy it."
The two volunteers felt slightly awkward, but they were now looking at Theo and Elena with an even more
ambiguous gaze.
Jordan glanced blandly atbefore saying with a smile, "You're such a gentleman, Mr. Grant. | should've
thought o f it first. How could | let Keith buy it? Gaily should be the one buying it. She can also buy some
ointment for Ms. Lane while she’s at it. Ladies can't have scars on them."
Cally quickly echoed, "I nearly forgot. I'll go buy it right away."
She left after saying that.
| looked at Jordan and said with a smile," Thank you, Mr. Fredericks."
He raised his eyebrows. "Don't mention it."
When Keith returned, he handed the bag in his hand to Elena. "Should I help you to tend to your ankle?"
Elena shook her head to refuse. "Thank you, Mr. Keith, but it's okay. It's not serious. I'll do it after lunch."
Cally cback even quicker, immediately after Keith. She handeda box of ointment for my burn and said,
"I'll go and wash my hands first. I'll then help apply you apply the ointment."
We walked into the restaurant one after another and took our seats. Jordan took the ointment from my hands

What was wrong with him?
I believed he did so without the best of intentions.
Before | could refuse, Jordan took out the ointment and put my hand on his lap to apply the ointment for me.
When Lally cback after washing her hands and saw him applying the ointment for me, she looked at him
with horror. "Mr. Fredericks, why are you—"
"Anything wrong with it?" Jordan raised his head, looking indifferently at her with a pair of dark eyes.
Lally quickly shook her head. "No. Jordan concentrated on applying the ointment to my burn as Theo watched
with cold eyes. The air suddenly felt a little weird.
| felt as though | was sitting on pins and needles under several people's gazes.
Jordan, however, remained indifferent as though this had nothing to do with him
After applying the ointment, he picked up my hand and blew on the scalded area, saying with extremely gentle
actions, "It probably won't leave a scar. I'll apply it for you again when we go htonight. It should recover in a «
few days. Keep it dry for a few days. Leave all the chores to me.’
