Chapter 211 You Can Decide
I’m not fond of the ones that others have bought for me.” A touch of sincerity flashed in Samuel’s eyes as he added, “However, I like what you’ve gotten for Charles. How about this? I’ll pay you to purchase some for me.”
Baffled, Kathleen retorted, “You think I’ll do it for money?”
“Why not? You’ve already provided me with treatment. What’s wrong with helping me purchase two jackets?” His intense gaze locked on her.
In response, she met his eyes while speaking. “Well, I suppose I can since you’ve already asked me. However, you can forget about paying me. After all, I’m your boss now, so let’s think of this as an early bonus.”
“Thanks, Boss,” came his reply in a husky voice.
That made Kathleen snort coldly. Don’t get too happy.
“I want jackets from the same brand that you usually wear.” A half-smile crept up Samuel’s face while he continued, “You can decide everything else.”
After glancing at him, Kathleen responded, “Okay, I’ll order some online. They’ll get delivered to you in no time.”
“Great.” Samuel nodded, a dashing grin curving across his well-sculpted face.
Hmph. What are you so happy about?
Kathleen shoved away her grumpy thoughts while placing her hands on her waist. “Take off your clothes and go soak in the tub for a bit.”
“Okay.” Samuel seemed obedient as he took his time undressing.
Meanwhile, an icy look graced Kathleen’s face as she watched him.
She wondered if his limp and slow actions were because his body genuinely lacked strength at that moment.
Her eyebrows twitched endlessly, irking her as she snapped, “Did you get starved or something?”
Just then, loud grumbles came from Samuel’s tummy.
The ironic turn of events rendered Kathleen speechless.
Opposite her, Samuel’s charming face flashed a helpless look. “I’m indeed famished.”

It was only natural as he had been bedridden for three consecutive days without any food.
All he consumed was water.
When he regained consciousness, he forced Charles to let him tag along as he was worried that Kathleen could not handle things on her own.
Thus, he had not eaten anything for the entire day, much less drank any water.
Kathleen sighed. “I’ll go whip up some food.”
That was when Samuel grabbed her hand, his eyes narrowing to slits while his pupils constricted. “You can call Tyson over if taking care of me is too much of a chore for you. I’ll just be borrowing your place for a bit.”
At that moment, Kathleen gazed at the man’s slender hands, realizing how much weight he had lost over the past three days.
It was so severe that the shape of his phalanges seemed obvious beneath his skin.
“There’s no need for that.” Kathleen shook his grip off her arm before stating, “Don’t worry about anything. Just rest up and recuperate.”
With that, she turned on her heel to leave.
Something flashed in Samuel’s deep gaze as he watched her lithe figure depart.
Once she was gone, he hurriedly took off his clothes and got into the bathtub for a soak.
In the meantime, Kathleen arrived at the kitchen.
She looked through the fridge before taking out the ingredients to make some risotto.
It did not take long before she brought a warm bowl of freshly cooked risotto upstairs.
After placing it on a table, she walked into the bathroom.
Inside the tub of water and medicinal herbs was a sleeping Samuel, whose arms held the sides of the tub as his head tilted back.
The circles beneath his eyes were dark like coal as fatigue stained his gorgeous face.
Kathleen knelt by the tub while reaching out to poke the man’s face.
