Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 587

Chapter 587: I had kept it here. Where did it go?

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, Ryan woke up to the clanking voice. His brows jutted, and he stepped out with a frown between his brows.

Walking out of his bedroom, he stepped into the living room, looking around for the intruder. But nothing around came into his vision.

However, soon he heard an apologetic tone from behind.

"I am sorry, sir. Did I disturb your sleep?"

He turned to look around, finding Zenith —neat and ready, standing behind the kitchen counter. Only after seeing her there did he remember that last night he had brought her to stay overnight.

Leaving her alone didn’t feel right, so he offered. She had tried to refuse, but after knowing that her friend wasn’t in the town, she had no good reason to refuse.

"What are you doing this early in the morning in the kitchen?" he asked, blinking away the sleep. His hands were tucked inside his pockets, and even without a formal suit, he was looking charming.

Zenith, for a moment, was in a daze. But she didn’t stay in it forever. Quickly recovering, she said, "I woke up early and since I had nothing to do, I thought to prepare breakfast. We would be leaving for the office soon."

Although she put it like that, she actually did it to pay back. She could refuse his help, so it was only better if she did something that could be seen as a help. A simple breakfast was sufficient, she knew, but she didn’t know what else she could do.

Ryan’s eyes shifted to look at the table to see the dishes that were served ready. He frowned. "You didn’t have to do it. Someone has been arranged to do this. They would have arrived in a while."

"Sorry, sir," she apologized. "I didn’t know. I thought to — If you don’t like it, I will put them away." Being a trouble was the last thing she wanted. She turned to already walk toward the dining table to put away the food when Ryan halted her.

"Leave it, Zenith," he said, his voice laced with quiet displeasure. "I didn’t say I didn’t like it. I said you didn’t have to do it. It would have been a trouble to wake up early and do this when you later have the whole day to work at the office."

"It’s fine, sir,’ she quickly said, "I don’t mind, and it wasn’t a trouble. I just wanted to help."

Ryan could tell. "Fine, thank you for doing this, then. I will go freshen up. We can have it together later." She nodded, and he turned to walk back.

However, taking a few steps, he paused and turned back to look at her. "Zenith," he called his name with little hesitation, continuing, "Last night when I offered you the help, I didn’t want you make you feel awkward or uncomfortable. You are my employee, my secretary. And as your boss, I had a few obligations for you. You don’t have to repay it or feel burdened under it."

Saying that, he walked away.

Zenith watched him and had mixed feelings. The feelings that she wanted to ignore and had always ignored threatened to resurface. But she shook the thoughts off and patted her cheeks, deflecting herself.

She picked the set of spoons that she had mistakenly dropped earlier before leaving the kitchen.

After a while, Ryan stepped out of his room again. This time ready for the work. Glancing at Zenith, he said, "Let’s have breakfast." He, then, motioned her towards the table.
