It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 712

"Or is it because you have eaten already?" Belinda gave him a questioning look, insisting on getting to the bottom of the matter.

Duke was a bit stunned upon hearing her remark. He kept quiet for a while. But he soon let out a smile and gently shook his head. "Take it any way you wish," he said blandly.

"Come on, you are so boring." Belinda couldn't think of anything to say, and realized that it was no use asking him. So she decided to drop the matter and simply enjoyed her meal. She wasn't too fussy about food, she was only particular about the way the dishes were cooked sometimes. Food in perfect combination of colors, smells and tastes would be appreciated.

"I thought you knew what kind of person I am. You are right, I am no fun." Although Duke was responding to her complaints, he wasn't really looking at her. Instead, he kept scrolling through the latest news on his phone.

"No. I never did. But I do now." Shrugging her shoulders, Belinda replied. But then she paused the instant she set eyes on Duke, who was sitting beside her with his head hanging. As the sunlight flooded into the room, a gentle orange glow framed his handsome face. She suddenly became immersed in bliss, wishing that she could stay right here in this moment with him, forever.

"Just dig in. Say no more or you might choked," said Duke dotingly. Putting away his phone, he then leaned back on the sofa leisurely. He seemed to be relishing the moment too. To Belinda, the relaxed side of him had only added to his charm.

"Duke, it seems to me that you are quite free at the moment!" Belinda turned around all of a sudden, winking at him with a sly but pleasant smile.

"Yes, you can say that. Why?" Duke tensed up, avoiding eye contact with her. He could tell from her eyes that she was scheming, and it made him shudder.

"Great! Would you like to do something to kill time? How about doing the financial accounting for me? There, on the computer. My head is going to explode from looking at data the whole day," she groaned. Belinda never had a solid grasp of math and figures, so every time she checked up the account, she would definitely suffer brain fatigue.

"Seriously? You aren't scared of my stealing your trade secrets?" Having said that, he rose up before she could answer his question, and walked over to her desk.

"If you are really interested in them, go ahead. I'm quite okay with it, as long as you are willing to free me from this nightmare." She meant what she said. She was not the kind of enterprising woman who ambitiously aimed at proving herself in her career. If she had ever had a choice, she would have never chosen to run such a big company. Because most of the time, she felt that her ability fell short of her desire to handle the company affairs well.

Casting her a glance, Duke said no more and seated himself in the chair casually. But when he caught sight of the documents that piled up on her desk, his heart missed a beat. She was not expecting him to go over all of them, right!? He quickly leaned forward and thumbed through them. His brows wrinkled.
