Chapter 43: Bringing Fruit to Marcus
"Marcus~"
Nancy softly cried, looking at Marcus with her clear and flashing eyes.
Marcus lightly tapped his forefinger on Nancy's forehead, "Why don't you come in?"
Nancy handed him the fruit plate and stood obediently beside him. She poked her fingers and replied in a soft voice.
"I'm afraid I would disturb you."
Marcus put the fruit plate away and asked softly, "What do you like to eat?"
"Grapes."
The sweet voice answered crisply.
Marcus smiled slightly, twisted a large grape and slowly peeled it with his slender fingers. Then he fed it to the little one.
Nancy opened her mouth and took a large gulp of the whole big watery grape with cheeks bulged again. Marcus couldn't help poking at her cheek, nearly pushing out the grape he had just fed.
Not angry at being poked, Nancy stopped chewing for a while. As she pliantly moved her cheeks, the grapes turned around in her mouth and shifted to the other side. With such a big grape wrapped in her mouth, she bit slowly and couldn't swallow it for a while.
Marcus's indifferent sight followed this action and then poked the cheek again. But this time, he was restrained; at least, the grape didn't get out.
Marcus still looked cold, but Nancy could feel a hint of warmth in his eyes. Looking at her elder brother, Nancy found his curled eyelashes blinking like the pretty wings of a butterfly. So beautiful it is!
When Nancy was about to finish the grape in her mouth, Marcus peeled another large grape and handed it to her.
The lovely little girl was like a small animal tempted by food, utterly dependent on the man in front of her as he fed her. She slowly moved towards him and finally leaned on her brother's slender lap.
Quiet and well-behaved, Nancy was as obedient as a furry rabbit.
Marcus smiled larger and became more skilled in feeding.
"Ahem..."
A coughing sound came from inside the computer, breaking the wordless and warm interaction. Marcus took his eyes away from Nancy and looked at the computer indifferently.
He behaved as if just realized that it was not only him and his little sister in this situation.
Meanwhile, all the subordinates from the other side of the computer were shocked. Some even stood up from where they were sitting and tried hard to look into the screen.
But Nancy was too short to be noticed.
They could only hear the soft and sweet voice calling for Marcus, their boss, which sounded like a girl's voice, and their boss completely behaved differently after the little girl came in.
Although he still looked as cold as ice, something was different.
Moreover... They seemed to hear the boss laugh just now!!!
There must be something happening, but they couldn't find out any clues!
After that, she spent the rest of the time staying in her brother's arms, eating what Marcus fed while quietly watching him work.
For almost an hour of the meeting, Marcus was so focused and skillful in doing two things at once with ease.
Nancy yawned a little before this meeting was over.
Out of the meeting, Marcus rubbed the little head.
"Sleepy?"
Nancy nodded obediently, "A little bit."
"Have a rest."
The little girl shook her head. She rubbed her eyes with her tiny hands and said softly.
"Brother Adam is going to finish the class; I have promised to pick him up. Besides, I am supposed to go to school and send gifts to brother Louis."
She bought gifts for everyone in the family and remembered to fulfill promises in earnest she had made with her brothers. She didn't want to let them down.
Marcus hummed and smoothed her hairy hair with his fingers. He didn't force her but just took another strawberry.
Nancy rubbed her tummy, which was rounded and puffed up from being fed. She was a little bit stuffed.
"Nancy has eaten enough; Marcus goes ahead."
Nancy blushed with embarrassment when she looked at the plate with little fruit left. She meant to share Marcus with the fruits, but she finished them off.
