Chapter 367 Growing Intimacy
Aletta was sound asleep on the bed, completely unaware of the man’s words.
The next morning, Aletta woke up and had breakfast with Jason before heading back to the research institute.
As she entered the building, she saw Lewis coming out of his office.
Seeing the dark circles under his eyes, which seemed even darker than before. Aletta couldn’t help but ask, “Did you pull an all- nighter again?”
Lewis yawned and replied, “No, I slept a few hours in the office.”
It was enough to sustain him for the whole day.
Aletta looked at him with concern and said, “Lewis, please take care of your health. Don’t die prematurely at such a young age.”
Although her words were meant to show concern, they didn’t sound quite right.
Lewis chuckled and said, “I won’t die prematurely. I have regular check–ups, and I’m confident I’ll live another sixty years at least.”
After speaking, he entered the research room.
In the morning, they worked together on their research. After a few hours of busyness, Aletta’s phone rang.
She had forgotten to put it on silent in the morning and
immediately looked towards Lewis, afraid of disturbing him.
However, he didn’t react at all. As if nothing, even a major event, could distract him from looking at the data and doing his research.
Aletta breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went outside to answer the call.
It was Jason on the other end. She asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Come out and get lunch downstairs,” he replied.
Lunch?
Was it already noon?
Aletta glanced at her phone and realized that it was indeed lunchtime.
However, she was still a bit surprised and asked, “Why did you specifically come over?”
The person on the other end made a sound and said, “I’m afraid someone won’t eat properly and will feel unwell in the hotel at night.”
Aletta felt warm upon hearing that and immediately said, “Wait for me, I’ll come down now!”
In no time, she arrived downstairs.
Jason was standing by the car, holding a bag in his hand, still emitting an aura that kept people at a distance.
As Aletta approached, he handed her the bag and said, “One portion for Lewis.”
Aletta took it and smiled, saying, “Thank you on behalf of Lewis.”
The next second, her cheek was pinched by Jason.
With a smirk, he said unceremoniously, “Next time, try not saying ‘thank you‘ to me!”
Aletta winced a bit from the pinch and glared at him, stubbornly retorting, “You’re not happy about me thanking you. Why are you like this?”
Jason replied calmly, “It feels distant, and I don’t like it.”
“Oh, then I still say it next time.”
She teased him for a moment, then turned around and ran off before Jason could react.
Watching the fleeing figure of the young woman, Jason couldn’t help but smile. He was in a very good mood.
Perhaps Aletta herself hadn’t noticed that their relationship was growing increasingly intimate!
Back in the research room, Aletta shook the bag in her hand and said, “Lewis, let’s have lunch.”
Lewis didn’t even put down what he was working on. He just glanced at the things in her hand and said, “You can eat it yourself.”
For him, eating was merely to fill his stomach. What could be more important than research?
Seeing his response, Aletta didn’t know what to say. She could
