I hurried out of Dr. Archer’s house.
“Olive, wait.” Adenauer chased me and caught up with me when I opened the car door.
” I’m sorry ” . She clung to my arm and sincerely apologized again.
“No, I should be the one to apologize.” Leaving the lively atmosphere behind, the cold December wind helped me regain my composure. “I lost control of my emotions today, and I don’t even know why. Maybe it’s the hormones at work…
you
Lately, my menstrual cycle had been interrupted, probably due to work stress.
” It’s not your fault . It’s mine ” . Adenauer’s hand slid up my arm and took mine.
His hand was large and warm, while mine felt cold, not quite the temperature a living person should be.
Somehow I appreciated the warmth in his palm.
After a while, he sighed softly and met my eyes with a kind look.
” We can talk ? ”
His eyes seemed to possess a calming magic, making it hard for me to turn him away. _ _ _ _ _ _
” Get in the car . It is very cold ” . I felt a little embarrassed and whispered.

I heard her soft laugh, tinged with indulgence.
I closed the car door and turned on the heating. _
Adenauer got into the passenger seat.
The two of us were silent for a while in the warm air.
To avoid the awkwardness, I casually turned on the car radio. The cheerful Christmas tunes instantly filled the cabin.
“Christmas is coming up soon,” Adenauer said excitedly.
It was already December and everyone was getting ready for Christmas. Right now in Dr. Archer’s backyard, Chloe, Charlotte, and I are discussing the differences in Christmas decorations between Germany and the United States.
Therefore , I also learned that TWH , being a multinational pharmaceutical company , combined Christmas and New Year holidays for ten consecutive days , in order to respect the customs of most of the employees .
This would also be my first Christmas and New Year’s Eve in Germany,
“Olive,” Adenauer turned to look at me, “I would like to formally apologize to you for what happened today.”
” You do not have to apologize ” .
“No, I have to apologize. Can you hear ? Adenauer was determined. _ _ _
This was the third “first time” I had seen Adenauer tonight.
The first time I saw him so upset, the first time I saw him so sad, and now, the first time I saw him so
certain _
I gestured for him to continue.
“I want to apologize, not only for today’s offensive question, but also for avoiding you recently.”
It surprised me a bit.
Adenauer hung his head guiltily, regretfully. Seeing him like this, I didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Unexpectedly , on this issue , the two of us came to a surprising consensus . _
So the reason you mentioned being busy opening your independent clinic was an excuse to avoid me? Or like me, he was happy to be busy with work lately?
After a jumble of thoughts in my mind, I returned to the main point: Adenauer’s reason for avoiding me.
“If what you’re going to say is about Aaron Morris, then there’s no need to say more.” I sighed. “I don’t want to know anything about him anymore.” _ _

Adenauer wanted to speak, but his words caught in his throat at my request.
This made him look particularly funny at the time.
I couldn’t help but laugh.
