Wesley did not show much emotion behind the desk. He said briefly, "Let her come over."
It was late at night, and Harriet wore a mask from the entrance of the basement to the floor of the Wesley's office. She could only buy a box of almond cookies on the road to show her gratitude as she came in a rush.
"Miss Clark, Wesley is waiting for you."
Jack opened the door. After Harriet nodded in, he closed the door very consciously and walked far away in the corridor to prevent someone from intruding.
This was Harriet's second visit to his office.
The last time she asked him like a lunatic for the reason why he made trouble for her, but she surrendered. This time, she came to thank him for helping her solve the problem. It was a bit ridiculous to think about it.
"Mr. Smith, thank you for dealing the rumor."
Wesley did not lift his head. He turned the page of the contract in his hand, reading it carefully and said, "You came all the long way here to say this?"
It took more than three hours to drive here. It was indeed far away.
"I need to thank you in person since you helped me to resolve the issue." Harriet frowned, thinking that no matter how resentful she felt to him, she should thank him for the rumor solved. She raised the cookies from Biggerlove Village in her hand. "I bought almond cookies for you as you said you like it. "
Wesley glanced up and nodded slightly, "Well, I can take it as my dinner right now."
"You haven't had dinner yet?"
Harriet stunned for a moment. It was almost ten p.m.
"Yes."
Wesley signed the contract and sat upright. "I did not have time to have dinner because of a meeting."
"I wouldn't buy the cookie if I knew that. I should bring you supper."
"It's not too late to make me a dinner."
Following Lanzhou's gaze, Harriet saw the direction of the office cubicle, the sliding door opened halfway. She could vaguely see the refrigerator and kitchen console inside.
Harriet then grasped the idea and put down the cookies. She rolled up her sleeves and walked toward the kitchen. "Then I will make something for you. What do you want to eat?"
"It's ok whatever you make."
There were a lot of food in the refrigerator but it took least time to cook noodles. Harriet chose tomatoes, beef, eggs and other ingredients to prepare for the dinner.
It seemed that it had been a long time since she cooked for him. She almost forgot how to cook.
She was suddenly realized that she never cooked when Wesley was away,
Ten minutes later, a bowl of tomato beef noodles was on the table. Wesley ate the noodles slowly. Harriet saw that he was satisfied with the noodles so she took her coat and was going to leave.
"Then enjoy, I'll go back to the crew."
"There is a bedroom in the cubicle. I will let Jack take you back tomorrow morning."
Harriet had already stood up. She frowned when hearing his words, "I...I am in my..., it's not a good time."
She knew that Wesley had only one purpose for her to stay overnight.
Wesley stopped his hand and looked at her, a little speechless, "What are you thinking? I need to work overtime at night. You just sleep on your own."
Harriet blushed with his sight, "I didn't think about anything, I..."
She came out a sentence finally, "It is you who think too much. I'm afraid I will dirty your sheets when sleeping!"
Wesley raised her eyebrows and ignored her.
